Chapter: 20

Gwen peeked in to check if the king was still in the room and breathed a sigh of relief when she realised there was no one in the room.

Just as she was sitting on the bed someone knocked on the door.

Knock knock…

“Who?”

“Room service”

I opened the door and saw the food trolley coming in, surprised to see Alexa and El at my door as the man pushing the trolley.

“Thank you” I said and they left.

Staring at the food in front of me made me hungry, but when I remembered who ordered this food, it made me sick.

I hated him, but I also missed him.

I’m confused….

Seeing the orange juice, I drank it and took a deep breath then finished it off.

I wanted to accept it with open arms, but I was afraid that I would get hurt again, afraid that I would break if I were hurt a second time.

I sat in front of the dining table and stared at the food blankly.

Cough…

What is this…

Cough… Cough….

Cough… Cough…. Cough….

Why can’t I breathe?

Then I realized.. D*mn it! This food is poisoned!!

Cough… Cough…. Cough….

I found it increasingly difficult to breathe and fell off the stool I was sitting on.

Cough… Cough…. Cough….

I wanted to scream but I could only look towards the door and hope that someone would realise my situation.

BLAAAMMM….

“I didn’t order any food!… GWEN!!!”
