Anger was like a hot lava flowing in my veins which made me feel like I've reached my boiling point as I held the test results in my hands.

The test results showed that the substances present in Drake's body was also present in the oatmeal which meant that the person dishing his food is responsible for this.

That means Monica has been poisoning Drake for a while now and Drake has never missed a meal at home which means he has never missed his daily dosage of poison.

James drove me back home. I appealed to him to come home and let the other guard take over, he's been in the hospital all night, he deserves to rest.

"Skai, don't be quick to act." He told me as I stormed out of the car with the results in my hands. I paced into the living room and walked into the dining room.

It was 7pm and the girls were supposed to be having dinner by now so I walked into the kitchen.

My gaze fell upon the old witch who has been slowly killing Drake. I walked in quietly putting the result in my back pocket of my jean.

"Hey Monica." I said with a smile as I sat on one of the stools by the kitchen counter.

"Hi Miss Skai."She greeted me as she put in some pack of food into the fridge.

"We haven't really spoken since I got here." I pretended to be interested in her as I smiled at her. I didn't want her suspecting that I found out she's a witch, I want to take her by surprise.

"Yeah by the way how's Drake ?" She asked me with concern in her face, she's really good at acting.

"He's fine, he's getting better. He really liked the oatmeal." I smirked at her with my finger twirling a strand of my hair.

"Oh really, I know it's his favourite so I made it for him." I laughed loudly at her fake display of care.

"What's funny ?" She asked me giving me a clueless look.

"Nothing, just find it really weird that someone's favourite meal is oatmeal." I shook my head as I got off the stool and walked up to her.

I put my arms on her shoulder and I looked into her eyes. A part of me wanted to grip her so tight and hit her against a wall but I had to play my cards well.

"Monica could you please make fried rice tomorrow, I'd like everyone to have that tomorrow." I smiled at her as I tilted my head to the side waiting for a response.

"Oh sure, that's not a problem, I love fried rice." She smiled at me and the next thing she did was unexpected. She wrapped me in a hug stroking my back.

"I'm so sorry about what's happening,please be strong." I rolled my eyes at her fake expression of affection.

"Yeah thanks." I broke the hug and walked to the fridge to take a bottle of water.

I walked towards the door then I turned around to look at her one more time. This woman must have a good explanation for all this that she's doing or else she's rotting in jail.

I went up the stairs and I decided to check on the girls. I walked into their room and I spot them laying on the floor with their faces buried on their phones.

"Hey guys." I said as I slumped into their bed. They smiled and rushed towards me on the bed engulfing me in a warm hug.

"Is Drake in his room ? We've missed him." Busola said as she knelt on the bed holding my arms.

"Uhmm he's not coming home today."I said as I looked down at my thighs. The twins looked at each other before sitting beside me.

"Is our cousin okay ?" Busayo said as she rested her hands on one of my thigh while Busola put a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Yes he's fine , just that they want to run couple of tests on him,so he'd stay longer than expected." I lied to the twins because I had a plan and I wanted them to know the truth when the plan is executed.

"Oh bummer!" Busayo exclaimed as she slumped into the bed while Busola rolled her eyes at her.

"It's just for a day or so besides he's fine." Busola said as she laid down on her side.

"Why didn't you guys have dinner ?" I asked the twins remembering I didn't meet them having dinner.

"We didn't feel like eating." I nodded my head slowly. It's a good thing they lost appetite who knows what she had planned for them.

We all talked and laughed for a while before they eventually fell asleep. I tucked them in and kissed their foreheads.

I left their room and walked into mine with a scowl. I took out the test result from my pocket and looked at it again.

I took out my phone and dialed Darius number.

"Hello Skai." He said as he picked the phone.

"I want you and Thelma to come over for breakfast tomorrow, I would like to show you something." I told him as I looked at the result in my hand.

"Our schedule is pretty tight but does it relate to the case ?" Annoyance bubbled in me after hearing those words. I don't know why but since I got back from the hospital I've been easily irritated.

"Then why on Earth would I call you if it's not about the case ?" I replied him harshly, I could hear him sigh from the phone.

"Okay miss Skai, we'd be there and it better be worth our time." I hung up on him not wanting anymore drama.

I put the result under my pillow then I crawled into bed pulling the duvet over my body. I didn't bother to change out of my outfit, I was too tired and angry to do so.

##########

I was looking at myself in the mirror with a smirk. I wore a black jean and a red tank top with a black leather jacket over it.

I looked like a cool bike rider. I decided to dress this way because of how fierce I'd act today.

I let my hair loose by taking off the scrunchy from hair. I paced to my bed to take out the results from under the pillow. I looked at it once more and I left my room.

I trailed down the stairs slowly and carefully. I smiled widely as I approached the steps where people from the dining table could see me.

"Wow you look hot skai !" Busayo complimented me as I approached the dinning table.

"Yeah what's the occasion ?" Busola asked as she stretched her neck to see me properly from where she sat.

"Nothing I just want to look good today." I smiled at them as I sat down in one of the seats.

Monica came out from the kitchen and dropped some dishes for us. She opened up the serving pot which revealed the fried rice I had requested to be made.

"Oh Monica you really made it well." I had my hand on my chest as I smiled at her to show her gratitude.

"Oh it's nothing" She said as she served each of us a spoon of the rice.

"Thanks Monica." Busola thanked her and she reaches out for a spoon.

"What about Drake's portion ?,I'd like to take some to him this morning."I asked her as I put a spoon into the rice.

"Oh how can I forget ?" She turned around and walked into the kitchen then the doorbell rang.

I paced towards the door. I opened it and it revealed Darius, Thelma and Becky.

"Good morning guys." I smiled broadly as I stepped aside for them to come in.

"Hey Skai, How are you doing ?" Becky asked me as she hugged me, I wonder why she's here by this time.

"I'm okay just pushing things besides what brings you here ?" I asked her as we broke the hug.

"Can't I see my best friend ? Besides I wanted to know how you were doing after what happened to Drake." She told me as we walked towards the dining.

"Why didn't you call me ?" I asked her as I wrapped my arms around her shoulder.

"I felt seeing you in person would be better." She said as we approached the table.

"Well the more the audience the better." I smirked as I removed my arms from her.

"What ?!" She looked at me confused.

"You'll see."I paced to the dining.I ushered them to sit down, the twins had clueless looks as to why the cops were here.

"I know everyone is confused as to why the cops are here but I invited them over to show them something serious." I addressed everyone who was seated at the table.

"Ooh it's like we have a full house."Monica said as she dropped the food bag meant for Drake on the table. She began serving others food while wearing a smile on her face.

"Wow this looks good." Becky said as she put her hand bag on the table.

"Miss Skai I'd like you to tell us why we are here because we have other things to get to." Thelma said as she looked over at me with her eyes narrowed.

"Just wait." I held out my finger toward her while I turned my gaze towards Monica.

"Monica why don't you have breakfast with us c'mon you work all the time, have a seat." I pulled out a seat for Monica who was smiling thinking I care about her.

"Oh okay I really love rice, but the remaining isn't up to a spoon."She said looking disappointed.

"Oh you can have the one from Drake's food bag." I smirked at her knowing what her response would be.

"Oh no, It's okay ...." I cut her holding my palm in the air.

"No Monica you'd eat from Drake's food, just have a little." I stood up with a scowl on my face as I walked towards the food bag.

"Babe, what are you doing ?" Becky asked me as I brought out the food from the food bag.

"Caring for Drake's maid. " I said as I poured the food from the plastic container into Monica's dish.

Thelma looked at me in confusion but Darius had his eyes fixed on Monica probably because he has gotten what my intentions were.

"Monica eat, don't let it get cold, I'd purchase food for Drake, so don't worry uhn."I told her as I rested my side on the table looking at her face. She looked scared and worried, her hands were trembling.

"Eat the food Monica." I said with gritted teeth as I pushed the plate closer to her.

"I can't eat this ." She said in a very low tone.

"Why ?" I asked her as I lowered my face down to hers.

"I don't really like fried rice." She looked at me trying to fake a smile.

I let out an unamused laugh and looked over at everyone then I returned my attention back to her.

"But you were so eager to eat the fried rice saying you love it now you suddenly hate it, you ain't fooling no one." I chuckled with my hands on my hips.

"Monica I don't know what's going on, but just eat the food and let this torture stop." Busola looked angry as she spoke, well I expected that because to them I looked like jerk oppressing an innocent woman.

"Eat the damn food !" She flinched at how hard I shouted at her.

She didn't look like she was going to eat the food so I took the spoon, scooped a spoonful of rice and shove it into her mouth.

Monica stood up immediately, spitting out the rice on the floor which made everyone look at her with narrowed eyes.

"Afraid of a little poison ?" I took out the result of the tests and put it in her face. She looked shocked but she quickly put her head down.

"Let me see that ." Thelma said as she got up from her seat and reached for the paper.

"Why did you spit out the food uhn ?" I asked her walking close to her giving her cold stares.

"Skai, what's all this ?" Becky got up from her seat and tried to hold me but I stopped her.

"Oh my God , this test proves why Drake is having issues with his health." Thelma said as she handed Darius the result.

"I don't need to see it, I've always had my doubts about her since the day I spotted her sneaking out of the farm." His words shocked me as I turned away from Monica, I didn't know when Monica gripped me from my back and put her arm around my neck.

"I won't go down that easy." She pulled out a knife from under her skirt and held it around my neck as she tightened her grip across my body.

"You pathetic being !" I shouted at her which made her pin the sharp side of the knife on my throat.

"Monica you don't want to do this, just drop your weapon."Darius told her as he walked slowly towards us.

I knew this woman was going to kill me without thinking twice and Darius alluring words won't stop her. I put my right leg in front of me and gave it a good distance from my body.

I swung by leg backwards with full force making it collide with her lower abdomen. She groaned and loosened her release on me and I took advantage of that,I grabbed her hand that was holding the knife and took it away from her hands.

"You dumb mistake for a human." I lashed out at her while Thelma took the knife from my hand. She tried to run but she tripped then Darius rushed towards her and pinned her to the floor with his gun.

I felt victorious as I saw Darius pinning her to the floor while he put hand cuffs on her. Finally I'm getting all those causing me pain but this is just the beginning.
