CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

ARIEL'S POV

It's been a week since that kindergarten incident, after Jason came back from his trip, he became oddly quiet than before, and sometimes he just sticks to me, hugging me and refusing to let go.

He's bubbly attitude around me also minimised, I loved Jason a lot and it worried a lot me seeing him like that.

When I turned to Leo for help, he told me Jason is probably going through some phase and he'll come around soon.

These series of events made my resolve to kill Vincent grow weaker, what if Jason found out in future that the man whom had barged in and saved him from trouble claiming to be his father is actually he's biological father? what if Jason finds out that it is his beloved mother that killed that man?

"Are you ready?" I shook those thoughts off my head and turned to see Leo all dressed up in a tuxedo.

Today is the day, the day I take Vincent Dixon life, Leo insisted on coming along because he thought I'll give up in the last minute, he would be watching out for me as he said, but decided to take advantage of the free labour and assigned him some part in the job.

Although my main mission is to kill Vincent but the urge to destroy Mirabel itched me badly, so I decided to merge it together, I confronted Leo with the idea and he didn't refuse.

Parking at the venue, Leo turned to look at me with a serious look on his face, "I know you are worried about Jason Ariel, but you know the organisation will hunt you both down if you decide to give up on this mission, no one will be able to save you." He lectured with worry in his eyes.

That's right, I'm sacrificing my son's happiness for his safety, it is not the best decision but till i can look for a way to get out of the organisation the safest way possible, i have to kill everyone as i am ordered to.

"I understand." I whispered back at Leo, and he nodded at me unlocking the car door and letting me out.

Paparazzi were crawling everywhere so it'll not be very ideal to appear with Leo, even if it's my last night as Phoebe.

I walked on the red carpet into the hall with a small smile on my face as I replayed Jason's new behaviour in my mind trying to figure out what the hell happened to my baby, I shook my head, now is not the time to think of these things.

"Miss Phoebe, I see you've arrived." I looked up to see Vincent towering over me with a smirk on his face, this man, he is the reason for my problems and yet he brought me my greatest joy, such power he wields.

"Yes I have." I smiled at him, as all I can see on his face is Jason looking at me with disdain.

Vincent stretched out his left hand inviting me inside, before going off to meet the other guests, the hall exuded aura's of people with class and elegance and it felt suffocating knowing that behind those fake smiles there are hidden disgusting dirty secrets to be revealed.

After a while of surveying the place, I noticed it is a particular group refilling Vincent's wine.

Without wanting to delay any further, I drowned myself into the crowds as soon as the musicians started playing and headed to the kitchen.

Disguising as a waiter, I had a tray full of wine of covering my face, as i silently stepped to the tray that is always being used to serve Vincent like the king he is.

Looking around to check if anyone is watching, I slipped my hands into my pocket and brought out the powder i hid in there.

I poured some of it into the drink and exited like nothing happened, to make my waiter act a little bit believable, I served a few drinks around, I wasn't worried about getting caught because i prepared a special face mask for this other than my Phoebe's mask.

After i was done, I went up the gallery, wearing my wine off shoulder dinner gown which highlighted my collar bones and flowed to the ground with Phoebe's mask on, I don't want anyone recognising me now, do i?

It is time for Vincent to get served his drink, the waiter came as expected and served the drink to Vincent before bowing his head respectfully and leaving.

I tapped my foot on the ground desperately waiting for him to take a sip, I wasn't worried about the medicine giving itself away because I created that poison myself, and it is tasteless and colourless.

The poison's job is simple, it causes a cardiac arrest, after five minutes of ingesting it and it kills instantly, normally, it'll be sketchy if a man like Vincent suddenly had a heart attack so that's when Leo and Mirabel comes in.

At my signal, Leo will broadcast the pictures of Mirabel and other men in hotels together, not photo shopped, I wanted something that'll ruin her career so i did a thorough investigation, and found out she is nothing but a cheating conniving witch, poor Vincent.

I would have revealed the truth about Anna, but I was already eliminating her parents, there is no need to add the child in the mix, i would be pissed if the same is done to Jason.

Finally, Vincent took a sip of the glass and I smirked watching the sword hands of my wristwatch tick each second.

I spotted Mirabel and went towards her walking slowly, "Third minute." I muttered to myself and immediately it hit the the fourth minute, I bumped into Mirabel and she screamed her lungs out as expected.

"Are you out of your mind?!!" Mirabel questioned ready to attack me when she noticed the whispers and murmurs that filled the room, she turned around to see the pictures of her kissing a bald director showing on the screen, Leo successfully got the signal.

"Make it stop!" Mirabel yelled heading towards the screen, she had probably forgetting we are on the gallery and nobody wanted to remind her.

In the showbiz, saving yourself matters the most, if one cautioned Mirabel now, they might be grouped as birds of the same feathers by neiztens, so it was best to let her figure it out herself and wake up from her lunacy.

"I said make it stop." Mirabel screamed like a lunatic, missing her step and falling over the gallery screaming her lungs out on the way down.

"Ten.... Nine... Eight... Seven... Six... Five.. four.. three... Two... And one." I counted the seconds slowly when screams rang throughout out the hall, "Somebody call an ambulance!!" A yell rang out, i knew it wouldn't be for Mirabel, she probably landed on one of the tables, so that means my job here is done, Jason baby, mommy is very sorry.
