"She was the perfect target." The sound of lips meeting, of bodies moving together, made bile rise in my throat. "But Damien, how were you able to do it?" Jessica's voice was breathless with more than just pleasure. "You told me we could get her inheritance and the life insurance payout once the wolfsbane killed her, but I never thought you could actually poison her so thoroughly." "Small doses of wolfsbane extract mixed into her food and drinks over months. I even convinced her that the healer's treatments were making her worse, so she'd skip doses of the antidote.

But that would have been expensive, and why waste the resources on an adopted nobody?" "Exactly!" Damien agreed. I could no longer take it.
