The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 725

Her sobs caught in her throat, and a wave of distress washed over her.

If she were to die, she'd make damn sure Megan went straight to hell first, even if it meant taking her unborn child with her. She couldn't spare a shred of sympathy for Megan's innocent kid. Weren't her own children just as innocent?

"If I kick the bucket, you have to look after Kane and William for me," she gasped through tears, "or swear, I'll haunt you as a spiteful ghost, day in and day out."

Leopold's heart ached as if pricked by a needle, "Don't talk nonsense, sweetheart. You're not going anywhere. We're going to grow old together, remember? We're hitting a hundred."

She sniffled, "Fate talks and fortune lies in the heavens. All I can do is take down as many enemies with me as I can. If the antibiotic runs out, give me a heads up, will you? I don't want to be blindsided by sickness, robbed of a chance to say goodbye."

If the medicine ran out and her time was up, she'd take out Megan first, then Tanya. It was a must to drag her foes down with her.

She still had some of the poison that Skyler cooked up. Mixed with a little something extra, it would guarantee their demise.

Better to kill a hundred by mistake than to let one guilty party go free.

She was on her way out anyway, so why bother with the niceties? If she could eliminate just one threat to Kane, it would be worth it.

Even a cornered rabbit will attack when threatened, let alone a human. When pushed to the brink, there was no telling what one might do.

Leopold pulled her close, "I’ll promise you anything, but stop saying such foolish things."

He leaned in, his lips finding hers, and they became entangled, passionate embrace.

Much later, Aurelia walked over to the window and pushed it open, gazing out at the full moon, "We need to smoke out Geoffrey. I refuse to believe he's content hiding behind Skyler's shadow."
