Chapter 47

The casual dinner didn't seem so casual anymore. The air was thick with tension. Sophia was staring at Thomas so intensly that a shiver went down his spine. From the chitchat he had heard on the table, it seemed like Sophia was giving a proposal. For Carina to be married. Thomas grew irritated at the thought. Why did she have to do this? To torture him? Probably.

After the end of the main courses, Mrs. Belle spoke up, "I have decided. I want my eldest son to marry your daughter." A smile of satisfaction spread across Sophia's features. Thomas Clenched his fists.

It wasn't fair. On his part, on Carina's part. He wouldn't be able to be happy with her in the same mansion. She wouldn't be happy with a poor excuse of a husband like Charles. Sophia knew that. She was just trying to punish him. But she was, as always, playing with her daughter's feelings. He decided not to interfere. They would go their seperate ways. It didn't matter.

What he didn't expect was, for Sophia to tell him her masterplan on the wedding night. After learning about the plan, Thomas couldn't help but be involved. A man like Charles could easily do anything to the poor girl. He wouldn't let that happen. For the sake of old times.

After a bit of a shaky start and some unexpected events, the time finally came for Thomas to do the deed. With trembling hands, he emptied the vile of slow poison in Charles's White silk shirt. As expected, the unfortunate man wore that all day and inhaled the scent. He died a painful death. Thomas had committed murder...
