Alpha Your Warrior Ex-Wife is Back (by Aurora Starling) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Gideon’s only home will now shatter, and in this disaster he will see me, just me, still standing by his

side

Thad waited too long for this.

The maid carried the tray of food into Leo’s room, I made sure I followed her carefully. I wanted to see it unfold. I was excited to see how little Leo take the spoon in his small hands and ate the stew, I wanted to see how sick he would become.

But right now, fate was not on my side, my expression turned ugly. Raven has to be here with the children of all the time.

She stood up from her seat as the maid entered with the tray, Raven’s eyes looked at the maid sharply with narrowed eyes, there was a tense pause, I should have known she always kept a close eye on the kids. She was a warrior who could sniff any danger close to Leo.

Raven looked at the children gently “Leo, Nova go outside for a bit. I have to speak to this maid alone, and don’t eat this food without my permission.”

The children looked at Raven confused but nodded and stood outside the room.

“Your hands, why are they shaking?” Raven asked the maid after children left, her voice full of

suspicion.

The maid just stood frozen, her face paled “I–it’s nothing, my lady. Just tired. Too much work.”

Raven stared at the bowl in the maid’s hand, I held my breath. She could not know. She definitely

can’t.

“Did you put something in the stew?” Raven questioned.

The maid forced her mouth open to speak. “N–No, madam it is just… stew.” Her voice was too weak and soft. I can tell it didn’t convince her.

I saw Raven looking at the maid, her gaze was suspicious and her instincts were sharp. A hunter’s suspicion. I felt my stomach twist, it was not because of guilt but because of fear that my plan might get exposed.

And then she moved.

Before the maid could stop her, Raven was quick enough to take the spoon. “No way…” I whispered softly as I looked at her in shock.

She dipped the spoon in the stew and brought it to her lips to drink without hesitation. The wolfsbane took effect immediately and she fell on the ground paralyzed.

Raven’s face tensed in pain, the spoon in her hand clattered on the ground. She tried to get up but her body felt numb. The sound of her body falling on the ground was sharp but final.

The maid let out a terrified scream and ran out of the room scared of being discovered but it was late because children had already seen her run out of the room

When Leo and Nova entered the room they let out a sharp gasp as they saw Raven on the floor and ran towards her.

I just stood there, the shock of what just happened going through me. It made me almost breathless.

This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. That poison was only meant for Leo, not Raven.

For a moment, I wanted to go to them, I almost let my fear take control. But then an evil thought came into my mind.

Maybe this was a gift given by Fate.

In case Raven dies, one obstacle will already be gone without me making another effort for it. Gideon will feel sad for her, of course but it will not last long. And Leo doesn’t need a poison now his grief will be an equal poison to him.

In this tough time. Gideon will need someone to bring him back on track. Someone very loyal. Someone like me.

I turned and walked away from chaos, my lips curved into an evil smile.

My life was finally shifting. Whether it’s by fate or by my hand. I can tell my victory was close.
