Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 176: Her home - III

So Evelyn decided to repeat her question once again. "Can I serve you something?"

Even though Evelyn knew that he was not going to take up on her offer since the first nice mistake a man could make was accept the food made by someone he did not know, she did not have much hope regarding it.

"Why not," he shrugged one shoulder. "Show me what you got."

Her eyebrows went up for a brief second before they came back down and she nodded her head. "I have tea and coffee and some Apple juice if you want?"

She hoped that he did not ask for the Apple juice. There was merely a Sippy cup of it left. If he chose that she would definitely have to run to the store the next morning because Arabella was going to ask for it.

Nevertheless she was actually grateful that he took up on her offer. Otherwise it would have been a real problem.

"Coffee," he replied instantly but then held one of his finger up stilling her for a moment, "do you use the instant?"

Was he seriously expecting her to use the proper material to make a coffee when she was living in a studio apartment where she could walk into the bathroom from the kitchen in 5 steps?

"Tea?" She chirped instead and he waved it off. She was a little annoying but Evelyn could not hold it against them. Even she missed a proper cup of coffee.

Evelyn immediately got up and since she had not left a hold of her purse while she had been sitting, she got up and took it with him before dropping it on the counter shelf and opening the drawer to get a pot out.

She considered putting the drug into the tea but that might turn out to be a mistake. He might take her Cup or the worst she might forget what cup she had put the drug in.

And it was not particularly turning out to be well for her that the kitchen was practically open. Thankfully she had dropped it right next to where the sink was and there was a little wall there.

It would shield the area where she would the washing the dishes or another was taking out the drug from the purse.

For the smallest of seconds, Evelyn closed her eyes. She was waiting for the guilty to sleep in and it actually was but the wall of motherhood that she had built around her stood as tall and as proud as it had ever been.

Given the day was no other way that she could protect her child, she had to do this.

There was no guilt that she felt when it came to protecting her daughter.

She put it in two different cups before she placed the pot into the sink and turned on the water immediately.

With the corner of the eye she knew that he was not standing at the entrance of the kitchen so she leaned a bit further trying to grab the soap but with the other hand she pulled out the syringe.

She had to place it in her back pocket which is why she turned around to look at Marcelo, "all okay?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

He raised an eyebrow and gave her a deadpan look. What could could possibly go wrong in this small apartment for hers?

"Okay," she breathed out, fixing the back of her shirt. "Alright then."

Evelyn turned around and took the two cups, not bothering to put them in a tray before she went ahead and handed him the right one.

Marcello took the one she gave him but he immediately went to keep it down—

The doorbell rang.

Both of them looked up and at the door.

Shit, Evelyn bit her lip.

"Evelyn?" Diwa called out. "I need diapers. Are you here?"

Crap, crap, crap, crap.

"Why is she asking you for diapers?" Marcello’s voice was love and his eyes were full of suspicions and accusations. "What’s going on?"

Fuck it.

With a rush of adrenaline that came to her body, she threw the cup of tea on his chest making him stand up but that was enough time in between people of the same range from her back pocket and stabbed it into his neck.

With every power she had inside her, she pushed him slightly and then the syringe.

"What th—" he cursed but stopped and pushed her away from him making Evelyn fall down at the brutal force.

She hissed when her body made it to the ground.

"What the hell are you doing?" He hissed and took the syringe out of his neck. He glowered at her in anger. "What the fuck, Evelyn?"

Shit. That was clearly not enough.

Evelyn gulped and crawled back only for him to take a staggering step.

"Yo-you.." he pointed at her, slurring slightly and her eyes widened.

Was It working?

Evelyn pulled her legs back and try to stand up as he started to stagger even more.

"Marcello?" Evelyn whispered and watched in fascination as he fell down and her plan actually worked.

A loud thud came when his bulky and muscular body met with the ground face forward but Evelyn did not mind at all.

"Evelyn?" Diwa’s voice came from the house and her knocks became louder. "Thief?! Is it a thief?!" She shouted from the door. "Don’t come out! I will get a knife for you!"

Evelyn rolled her eyes. "It’s me, Diwa! I fell. Can you wait with the diaper thing?"

"Yes, yes, I can." She answered. "This is the last one I have. The spare."

"Okay," Evelyn yelled from where she was standing, which was right in front of Marcelo. She hoped that the Indonesian woman would leave now.

When she heard the light for steps from outside her or Evelyn knew that she was gone. Now her attention went to the man lying on her floor.

She had to hide him.
