ISADORA’S POV

I poured a generous amount of the lavender–scented liquid soap into my palm, ready to wash my face and unwind for the night. The scent filled the air, calming my nerves.

Just as I leaned forward toward the sink, I heard the sharp buzzing sound of my phone ringing on the nightstand in the other room. My body tensed for a

second.

I was expecting two important calls that evening–one of them potentially life–changing.

Without hesitation, I quickly wiped my hands on the towel and rushed out of the bathroom, my feet padding against the tiled floor. I snatched the phone from the table just as the screen lit up with the caller ID I’d been hoping to see. I swiped to answer.

“How was it?” I asked immediately, skipping the pleasantries. My voice was low and eager.

“I got the job done,” the male voice responded on the other end. His tone was confident, and emotionless–exactly what I needed to hear.

“You’re sure it exploded?” I pressed, needing to confirm every single detail.

“Yes, ma’am. Just like we planned. Everything went off without a hitch.”

“And you’re absolutely certain they’re all dead?” I asked again, enunciating each word slowly, needing him to hear the weight of what I was asking.

“Of course. They were cuffed to the chairs inside. There was no way out. When the place went up, they were still inside. No survivors,” he replied,

assured.

A slow, satisfied smile stretched across my lips. My chest rose with relief, joy, and triumph.

“Good work. Your payment will be transferred to you and your boys before the end of today,” I said smoothly.

I didn’t wait for a reply before I ended the call. I had heard enough.

Twisting on the spot, I let out a giddy laugh and twirled once, overjoyed. It was finally over. That conniving gold–digger Olivia was gone for good, and with her, every last trace of the chaos she had brought into my life.

Now, things could finally return to how they were supposed to be me beside Adrian, undisturbed.

Still smiling, I immediately called Jessica. She answered before the first ring even finished.

“Hey babes!” she greeted, her voice laced with curiosity.

“I have great news,” I announced, unable to contain my excitement.

“Okay, spill it.”

“First of all,” I began, already pacing the room with a spring in my step, “a few weeks ago when that pathetic leech Olivia was still living in this house, I was walking past the main bedroom and the door was slightly open.”

“Okay…?” Jessica said, prompting me to continue.

“I was going to ignore it, but then I overheard something that caught my attention. She was on a phone call with someone, and at first, I didn’t think much of it–until I heard her say something that made me stop in my tracks.”

Jessica was quiet now, listening carefully.

“She said she was pregnant,” I said, lowering my voice even though no one was around. “I couldn’t hear much more because she suddenly got suspicious

and came to check the door. Luckily, I slipped away in time without her seeing me.”

Jessica gasped. “Pregnant? For who?”

“Who else? Adrian, of course,” I replied. “I was shocked, honestly. I thought she had taken care of that problem a long time ago. But apparently, she kept it hidden from him.”

“But I didn’t waste time,” I said proudly. “As soon as I processed what I heard, I went straight to Adrian and told him I was pregnant instead.

“Of course. I had to. This is war, Jessica. I couldn’t risk her getting back into his life because of some unborn child. So, I told him I was expecting his baby

“and now that I’ve told him, am sure I’ve secured the spot, we haven’t really had much time to discuss about the baby since I told him but am planning to discuss it with him today or tomorrow, depending on when he’s free,” I said

I rolled my eyes and sighed, not because she was wrong, but because I already knew that. “Yeah, I know,” I replied with a low voice. “I’ve thought about that too. But Adrian thinks the pregnancy is still really early, so I’ve got a little time. I’m going to keep trying my best to actually sleep with him so I can get pregnant for real.”

There was a brief pause before Jessica responded. “Okay, now that is a good plan. But girl, you need to make it quick. Time isn’t on your side.”

“I know, I know,” I said, pacing slowly around my room. “I’m just waiting for the right moment. He’s been distant lately, always on the phone or cut of the house. But once I get the chance, I’ll make my move. Sooner or later, he’ll fall into my trap. But that’s not even the main reason I called you.”

“I told them to handle things–clean, fast, and final,” I said, lowering my voice. “And I made sure to give specific instructions… tell Olivia and Julian that Adrian Westwood sent them.”

There was a long pause before Jessica finally responded, her voice bubbling with glee. “And?”

I smirked, letting the moment hang in the air before delivering the news. “I just got off the phone with one of the guys. Olivia and Julian are dead.”

“Dead? Like, dead dead?” Jessica nearly shouted through the phone.

“Seriously. Gone. That annoying little cockroach is finally out of the picture for good.”

Jessica laughed with delight. “That’s amazing! Honestly, even though I’ve never met her, just hearing about Olivia through you made me hate her. She always sounded like a pest who refused to go away. But now you’ve finally taken care of her, and that means Adrian is all yours.”

“Exactly,” I said proudly, glancing around the room with satisfaction. “Adrian and I are still living under the same roof. And if things don’t go my way soon, worst comes to worst–I’ll just spike his drink again. Then I’ll sleep with him and seal the deal. That baby will be mine, and so will Adrian.”

I could practically hear Jessica’s grin over the phone. “Would it be okay if I came over?” she asked excitedly. “We need to toast to this win. Plus, I want to hear the full story in person.”

“Of course you can come over,” I said. “We need to go over a lot of things anyway. Come around tonight if you’re free.”

“Perfect! I’ll text you when I’m on my way,” she said.

“Alright, baby girl. Stay safe. I was doing something a few minutes ago, and I need to go finish it up.” I ended the call before she could respond.

Then I stood there for a moment, tapping the phone against my palm, a smug smile playing on my lips. This was it. Olivia was finally out of my way for good and I was one step closer to my goal
