A One Night Stand With Mr. Goldman

Tiara POV.

Laurel introduced me to so many of his friends and business partners, and I am tired, which was normal since I was pregnant.

Before, I forget, Allen gave me a very nice birthday gift.

It was a golden necklace, and it matched perfectly well with the gown I was putting on at the moment.

I thanked him for the gift and I could see the jealousy on Laurel’s face, but I ignored him.

Since he hadn’t given me my gift and very soon the party would be over.

I walked to my room to go keep my gifts since there were many for me to continue holding.

But my movement came to a stop when I saw Allen, his mother and someone inside one of the guests’ rooms discussing.

I went closer to listen to what they were saying and what I heard made me completely shocked.

Both Allen, his mother and that person are in this room discussing how to kill my husband.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

And from their discussion, they have asked the person to poison his drink and if it does not go according to plan, the person should poison his food too.

I can’t even see the face of the person they have asked to kill my husband.

Yes, I don’t love Laurel, but he is my husband and best friend, so I can’t let those greedy fowls kill him and enjoy what they did not sole.

Yes, I know they hate each other, but I never knew it would get to the point where they would want to kill Laurel just to get his property.

With a shocking expression

I walked backward to get away from there before they found out I was, ease dropping on their conversation and I mistakenly hit the flower jar which was on one of tables outside.

It almost fell, but I cut it on time and placed it back even though it made a sound which I am sure they heard.

I ran and went somewhere to hide.

A few minutes later, Allen went out to see who was outside, but since he didn’t see anyone or anything strange, he walked back inside the room.

I used that opportunity to run back to the venue to look for Laurel before they succeed with their plans.

And when I finally saw him, he was about to take a drink from a waiter with so much fear, I rushed to him and I internationally bumped into him, and course the drink of fall on his body and the glass of wine fell fell.

I breathe a sign of release.

Can you be any less clumsy? Laurel asked me in an angry manner. And I could see anger on the face of the waiter.

Then my suspicion clicked she must be the waiter Laurel’s stepmother and brother that sent to kill him.

I’m sorry I poured your drink on your body just because I wanted to ask you if you have seen the key to the room because I can’t find the key to the room and I need to keep those gifts.

I can’t move around holding them. I said, and I could see the waiter still standing and looking at us.

You can go and bring another drink for him.

I said to the waiter, and she finally left to go take another drink.

While Laurel walked angrily upstairs to go change his clothes since I had damaged his suit with the wine.

It was better than him drinking poison and dying.

I can’t let him die now. I don’t want to be a young widow and I won’t let my baby be fatherless.

I followed him upstairs and when he got to the door, he opened it and, surprising him, the door went open.

He looked and look at me, you said the door was locked? He asked but I didn’t say anything.

He turned back and entered inside the room, where I followed him quietly and close the door.

You told me the door of the room was closed, while it was open.

Why did you tell me it was close? He asked again.

And this time I decide to tell him the truth.

I am sorry I poured that wine on your clothes, but trust me when I say I did it only to protect you.

How can you tell me you pour wine on my suit to protect me? What useless protection is that? He question

I’m sorry if that, move was too shallow, but at that moment that was the only idea that was on my mind. I answered.

What do you mean by that was the only idea on your mind? He question

I don’t know if you will believe me or not, but what I am about to tell is nothing but the truth, so please take it very seriously. I said.

Will you just tell me what is going on? He said angrily.

I overheard your stepmother and brother telling a waiter to poison your drinks or food at the party.

I don’t know who the waiter is, but I suspect the waiter that gave you a glass of wine a few minutes ago was the person they sent to kill you.

That is why I internationally pour the wine on your suit.

You know we might not have met in the right circumstances, but it doesn’t mean I will let someone harm you.

Especially when I know very well that the person wants to harm you. I can never let it happen.

Thank you for trying to protect me, but if you continue like this, they will know that we both know they want to kill me, and they will change their game plan.

And we won’t be able to do anything about it.

But I have a plan and if you can follow, we will be able to catch them right-handed. Laurel said.

So, what do you want us to do now? I asked him

Nothing much.

What do you mean by nothing much? I asked him.

We will let them feel they have won.

What do you mean?

We will make them feel that they have succeeded in their plans, so that we will be able to get them right-handed.

Okay, so what are we going to do?

All you have to do is to make sure the glass of wine I drink is not poisonous and then leave the rest to me.

Let go before they start suspecting something and don’t forget to act normal.

Yes, I answer?

Wait a minute, let me call the police, so they will come here and don’t worry because the CCTV footage is on, and it has the record of everything that is happening in the party room.

Do you think your stepmother and brother would be that foolish to leave the CCTV footage of the party on? I asked him

They will clean their tracks in order to avoid people suspecting them.

That won’t be a problem because I have some hidden cameras in that room which are connected to only my computer.

What? Why? I asked him.

For why, because I have a lot of enemies, and they all want to bring me down or kill me.

That is why I had to prepare myself, because it is usually at parties that my enemies get the opportunity to harm me.

For example, in this instance, if you didn’t ease drop on their conversation, then I wouldn’t be here right now.

So don’t forget what you going to do.

He said as he changed his shirt and suit.

There was no time for me to comment on his six packs this time around.

We both rushed out of the room to the party room and I could see Laurel’s stepmother talking and smiling with Laurel’s Dad.

That got me wondering how that woman could be so wicked to plan to kill the son of the person she is married to behind his back and pretend to be happy.

And when I turned I could see Allen having fun with some of the girls at the party and ever since I came here, that is all he is good at spending money and his time on women.

While his stepbrother goes out to work, and now he wants to collect everything, then his plans of killing him must have succeeded, but thank God I overheard their conversation, so their plan won’t work.

Laurel and I walked hand in hand while chatting and laughing when that same waiter came again with three glasses of wine on them.

She lifted a glass of wine and gave it to Laurel, but I saw that she was looking in another direction.

I exchanged the glass of wine with another glass of wine on the tray before she could look at us and when she was done she left.

And we both followed her direction with our eyes, and we saw her stop at one point and look at both Allen and his mother and smile and continue her journey.

Laurel and I looked at each other and smiled.

For them, they think they are smart, not knowing Laurel and I are smarter than them.

I later on asked Laurel what our next move would be, And he replied,

” We will just need to act like I have taken the drink, and then I will fall later, and you know what to do.

Act normal, as if you don’t know anything as to the police people. I am sure they are already here, but I told them not to put on their uniforms. If they do, it would look suspicious and that would blow our cover.

And we won’t be able to get them.

From the way they are doing, it seems like the substance they gave that waiter to put in the drink is something slow but not too slow because they want it to look like it is someone from the party who killed me and not them.

Is that why they wait til this day? Because they both know their plans will work?

Yes. Laurel answered.

So we will need to act perfectly well.

Alright.

After saying that, we both walked to the dance floor to dance and we both danced for the first and second songs and when it was finally over.

Allen walked up to us and asked

” Can I have a dance with the birthday girl”?

While looking at Laurel in a mocky manner…

I could feel Laurel hold on me strongly, and then I knew he didn’t want me to dance with Allen.

I just smiled and said.

I would have loved to dance with you, but I am tired and that is what I was telling your brother here before you came.

But he doesn’t want me to rest, and he knows I am carrying his baby.

It is fine, you can take a rest. Allen replied.

But, Laurel, that’s very bad of you, and you know she is carrying the future heir of Goldman family.

She doesn’t need to stress herself too much, since it is not good for her and the baby.
