Chapter 50

Chapter 50.

Nelly’s POV.

I went to my wardrobe and opened it, searching through the clothes until I found what I was looking for. A small bottle, no bigger than my thumb.

I slipped it into my pocket and took a deep breath. I stepped out into the hallway and made my way to the dining room. The table was set with various food, and I took in the sight with a mixture of hunger and apprehension. I spotted a maid in the corner of the room and walked up to her.

“Who does this belong to?” I asked, motioning to the food. “Lady Emily,” the maid replied,

I stood there, my heart pounding in my chest, as I waited for her to enter the kitchen. When she did, I quickly took the bottle out of my pocket and poured the substance into her food. I mixed it in well, making sure it was thoroughly combined.

As the maid appeared, I tried to act natural, running my fingers through my hair and glancing around the room. I hoped I didn’t look as nervous as I felt.

She picked up the food and left the kitchen, and I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding. I served myself some food, trying to act as normal as possible. As I took my first bite, Alpha Kex entered the room.

His expression was unreadable, and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He pulled out a chair and sat down across from me, his eyes fixed on me. I did my best to focus on my food, but it was difficult to ignore the tension in the room. I swallowed hard, trying to keep my composure.

“I’m sorry,” I heard him say, but I kept my eyes on my food, determined to ignore him.

“Nelly,” he said, his voice insistent. I knew I couldn’t avoid him any longer, so I reluctantly looked up.

“For what?” I asked, trying to sound nonchalant.

“For speaking to you rudely,” he said, his eyes piercing into mine.

“Oh, I didn’t notice,” I replied, my voice sounding unconvincing, even to my ears,
