Chapter 137: Not Your Ordinary Family

Irina POV

To think LUC had poisoned her by accident while targeting either Ariana or Dimitri. And that her own parents might be, if not directly involved, negligent at best, knowing full well how unstable Luc was. Apparently, stupidity was genetic, because she'd placed her trust in Luc as well for her own purposes.

Irina stared up at Dimitri. Her logical mind latched on one detail. "If the dish was intended for either you or Ariana, how is it that I consumed it by accident? How is it that this sous chef failed to ensure that the poison would reach its target?"

Dimitri shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe a mix-up. Someone got careless."

"But why would the poisoned blood be intended for Ariana? You haven't turned her and i didn't know about it ... or have you?"

He smiled wryly. "No. But maybe they thought that whatever affects her affects me and vice versa. Poisoning by proxy. Maybe we were both the targets."
