"I'll be in my room,"

Gwen said with a smile and she walked away.

Bella crossed her arms as she thought of why Gwen would come to the house, but she couldn't pi.

A few minutes later, she stepped into the kitchen only to see Gwen preparing a meal, a frown formed on her brows. She looked around but could not find the cook.

"Uh… I didn't know you would grace our stomachs with your beautiful skills today."

Bella smiled as she walked towards her, her eyes scanning surrounding skillfully for anything odd, but she could not find.

"haha, since I was in the house, I decided to prepare something."

"That's so sweet of you." Bella smiled,

"I'll be around, if you need my help."

Bella said and turned around to leave.

"Alright dear. Is Nicklaus home yet?"

Gwen asked and Bella stopped.

Now she knew why she was here. For Nicklaus.

What was she planning to do?

"No, not yet. Should I let you know when he comes back?"

Gwen shook her head,

"No, not at all."

"Alright."

Bella smiled and walked away.

Gwen was planning something and she must find out what it was.

Gwen placed the dishes on the dining table and smiled to herself.

She had already spiked the wine in the kitchen. She had locked the door temporarily to make sure no-one was watching.

He wouldn't never suspect a thing. Never in his wildest dreams would he think that she would ever drug him.

Gwen chuckled.

He would surely hate her the next day, but the deal would have been done by then.

Just then she heard a car pull up in front of the house, her eyes turned to it and she smiled when she saw it was him.

Hurriedly, she went to her room to change her clothes.

Tonight, she needed to be in the most enticing wear.

Bella stepped out of her hiding place and walked to the dining table.

Her eyes scrutinized the meal.

What did she put in the food?

Bella thought as she opened the casserole dishes, there was no way to know if there was something in it.

She thought as she covered the plates. She was about walking out, when her eyes flashed at the wine and she frowned.

Why was it opened?

Her eyes widened as a thought entered into her and she quickly reached to grab the bottle but before she could reach it, she was interrupted by Gwen's voice.

"What are you doing?"

Bella jerked as she turned to look at Gwen, who was staring at her suspiciously.

"Um, I'm sorry, I wanted to take a little from the wine, I heard it's worth over $2000, I just wanted to know what it tastes like."

Bella stuttered, she mentally applauded herself for coming up with such a sweet lie almost instantly.

Gwen, who had been scared for a moment calmed down. She thought Bella suspected something, but it turned out she only wanted to steal.

She smiled.

"Nicklaus wouldn't empty the bottle, you can have it when he's done."

Bella smiled sweetly,

"Thank you Gwen."

She thanked and walked away. Bella gritted her teeth as she walked back to her room. Something was in the wine!

How would she stop Nicklaus from taking it?!

Gwen walked to the table and her eyes scanned the table, she smiled when she saw it was as she left it.

Just that moment, she saw Nicklaus walking to the table, he had taken a quick shower as his hair was still damp.

God…

She breathed in,

He was so handsome.

She smiled as she thought of how her hands would get buried in those thick hair of his tonight.

"Gwen you're here."

Nicklaus smiled when he saw her.

Gwen nodded

"Yeah, my car broke down on the way, thankfully the house was closeby, so I decided to come stay the night."

She smiled as she watched him sit down.

"Alright, I hope you're comfortable."

"Yeah, very."

She said, as she watched him open the casserole and pour himself some food.

"Come join me."

He said but Gwen shook her head,

"No, thank you, I've had some already."

Gwen smiled as she watched him eat.

"How is my sister?"

She asked,

"The doctors say she's doing great, I hope it doesn't take long before she wakes."

Gwen's eyes followed his hands as he opened the bottle and poured himself some wine.

"I pray so too."

She replied,

Nicklaus nodded, and brought the cup to his lips, taking a sip.

A faint smile formed on her lips as she breathed in,

Finally!

"I'll be in my room now, I hope you enjoy your meal."

She said and walked away, holding in her excitement until she had closed the door.

"Yes!"

She exclaimed, twirling around in the room.

In just a few hours, he'll be hers.

She smiled sweetly as she walked to the mirror and pouted as she stared at her reflection.

"Oh Tiana, it's not like I'm doing anything wrong, I didn't plan your accident to happen, and I just… I just want to take care of Nicklaus so he won't spend the rest of his life waiting for you to wake up."

She shrugged, crossing her arms.

"I mean, that's what you would do if you like someone right?"

She asked, a sinister laughter leaving her lips.

She just couldn't wait to see the look on Tiana's face when she finally wakes up only to see that everything she had, had been taken away from her, even her most cherished husband.

Gwen laughed again.

It would be a sight to see indeed.

Picking up her red lipstick she applied it slowly on her lips and then she let her hair fall down her back.

She sighed as she watched herself.

"I'm definitely irresistible tonight, tsk tsk, Nicklaus, what are you going to do? You're mine now."

She laughed as she strolled to the bed and lay down. The drug would take effect in 45 minutes time, by then he should be in his room.

She thought.
