The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

No one could have tell that juice is poisoned.

“Here is your juice ma’am” Maria smiled.

“Maria, starting now.. i won’t be taking strawberry juice in this house anymore, go to the kitchen now, empty every strawberry juice you see in there into the sink” Irish said, knowing even if she avoids drinking it, any other person can consume it without knowing it’s poisoned.

“Wh.. why? What’s going on ma’am?” Maria asked.

“Just do as i said Maria”

“Okay ma’am, I’ll do so now” Maria said and quickly went to carry out Irish’s order.

She knew something must have happened for Irish to order her to do that.

The cooks watched her as she emptied the packs of juice into the sink.

“Maria, what are you doing?” The head of the cooks asked.

“What my boss ordered me to do” Maria said.

“How could she order you to do this, they spent money to purchase the juice and she ordered you to waste them?”

“There’s a reason behind every action” Maria said.

“I still do not see the reason someone would waste all these”

“You should go question her yourself, you’ll get an answer”

“She has really gone proud since she was appointed as a personal maid” One of the cooks said and the others nodded in agreement.

“Maria, everything that has to do with what I’ll be eating in this house, I’ll be the one to handle it myself” Irish said.

“Ma’am did i do anything wrong? I’m so sorry if i wronged you” Maria pleaded.

“You didn’t do anything Maria, I’m just being careful”

“Careful?” Maria asked.

“Yeah…” Irish said not sure if she could tell Maria that she was almost poisoned. She seems like someone she can trust and she hadn’t even broken her promise to her even when Catherine was at the verge of sacking her.

She had kept to her words! without minding the consequences.

Maria seems like a trustworthy person.

“Maria, those drinks i ordered you to dispose of were…” Irish paused with a sigh ” poisoned” “What!” Maria screamed.

“Really?” She asked and Irish nodded.

“By Madam Catherine right?” Maria asked in a whisper.

“How did you know?” Irish asked.

“She’s obviously the only one capable of such evil act.. what are you going to do now ma’am?” Maria asked worriedly.

“That’s why i want to be tending to whatever I’ll be eating myself” Irish said.

“Ohh… Now i understand but do not bother ma’am, I’m going to handle everything smoothly. I’m a very good cook and starting now, I’ll be the one to prepare your meals, stay in the kitchen till it’sdone and serve it to you myself. Trust me, I’ll be very careful and i won’t allow anyone mess with it” Maria said and Irish was touched.

“Thank you so much Maria”She said.

“You shouldn’t thank me, I’m only doing my job as your personal maid. But.. how did you know madam Catherine had the packs of juice poisoned?” Maria asked curiously.

“A.. bodyguard told me”

“Really? Do you know his name? How does he look like?” Catherine asked, knowing the bodyguards are all loyal to Maria.

“No but he has jet-black hair and deep blue eyes, he’s tall and not so thin with a faint scar on his jaw “Irish described him.

“Ohh… that’s Blaine” Maria smiled and Irish noticed the faint blush on her cheeks .

“Uhh.. You like him?” Irish asked.

“Huh?” Maria blinked.

“You like him” Irish teased and laughed when Maria turned away shyly.

“Boss, i think that lady might not be who she made you believe she is. She loves Mr Ethan so much to leave him, not to talk of wanting to be involved in the plan to hurt him.”

She might have an ulterior motive, you should not trust her” Javad said to Morgan over the phone.

“Javad, she hates Ethan already! She hates him so much now. She doesn’t have any ulterior motive, I’ve watched her since she arrived and didn’t notice any suspicious move from her, she only wants to get back at Ethan for hurting her. I trust her”

“But boss, i still think…

“Just shut up and start coming over with Gladys, you’ll see for yourself when you get here” Morgan said.

“Okay boss, we’ll be there soon. Does Madam Catherine knows about this?” Javad asked. “She knows nothing about this and you dare not say anything to her okay?”

“Okay boss, i still think we shouldn’t trust Irish so easily” Javad insisted.

“Don’t get on my nerves Javad…..

“I’m sorry boss, we’ll start coming over immediately” Javad said and Morgan disconnected the call.

“Irish, they are here” Morgan said, walking into Irish’s room.

She was having a funny conversation with Maria and eating the cookies Maria had baked for her.

“Really? They are here” Irish said, getting on her feet.

“Yeah, you might be quite surprised though” Morgan warned .

“Ohh” Irish said and she couldn’t place a finger on why her heart was beating fast as she followed Morgan to the living room.

She quickly clicked on the sound recorder app on her phone.

They got to the living room and Irish saw Gladys and Javad.

“Ohh.. Ethansent you here?” She asked, surprised Morgan had allowed them in.

“No, these are our accomplices, the ones who’ll help our plan go smoothly, they’ve been working with me for so long. Javad and Gladys.. meet Irish”Morgan smiled and Irish felt like her soul left her body.

Her knees went weak and she collapsed on the cold floor with her phone flying out of her hand.

“OMG are you okay?” Morgan rushed to her.

Javad gaze moved to her phone that had slid to his feet.

He almost kicked the phone away from his feet but stopped when his eyes caught the screen. Damn it!

“Boss, this goddamn lady planned to record our conversation!” Javad said, picking up the phone.

“What!” Morgan asked, moving away from Irish who was still shocked to the bone. He grabbed the phone from Javad and on glancing at the screen, he turned to Irish angrily.

“I told you we couldn’t trust her boss” Javad said.

“How dare you?” Morgan asked slowly, approaching Irish with a deadly glare.

The trust he had for her vanished immediately and his eyes turned cold.

“I.. i i..” Irish stammered with tears in her eyes.

She wasn’t prepared for this, she had thought it’s going to go well like every of her plan. Now, she’s exposed. She should have just left when Carl told her to.

“Get me my pistol and one of you should throw her in the back of my limo” Morgan said angrily.
