for a couple of drinks as | withdrew the crumpled sheet of paper from my pocket.
It was a Friday night, and the restaurant that | had asked Viona to meetin was as crowded as ever. |

“What's that?” she finally asked once our drinks came.

Carefully picking up the paper, Viona's eyes scanned the list of compounds before her gaze flickered up to meet

Viona blinked atfor a moment, a combination of worry and rage flickering through her eyes-I knew | could
trust her just from that one look.
“I'll kill whoever’s doing this,” she growled. “You don’t think it could be...”
Shaking my head, | raked my fingers through my hair. “No, | don’t think Noah would do something like this. But
my maid seemed to suspect something was off about those pills from the start. She warned me... My voice
trailed off as guilt and pain coiled together in my chest. How could | have been so blind? Then you need to tell
Noah,” Viona said firmly. “If someone is targeting you like this, poisoning you to eep you from getting pregnant,
then it counts as treason. Whoever is doing this needs to be punished.” opened my mouth to protest, but Viona
held up her hand to stop me.

“I'll think about it,” | finally conceded, offering Viona a halfhearted shrug.
She studiedfor a moment longer, then seemed to accept my response with a short nod.
“Fair enough. Just don’t wait too-“.
A sudden commotion from the other side of the bar cut Viona off, both of us turning in unison toward the sound.
My eyes widened as | spotted James, my bodyguard who had accompaniedto the restaurant, standing face-
