Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Chapter 100: Poisoned Wine



As expected, there weren't too many people inside. It was a high-class bar, and the membership fees were exorbitant. But the allure wasn't the expensive wines or the ambiance-it was the tight security.

Even Kesha struggled to hack into the security cameras, though I knew she was giving it her all. Tonight, we had to rely on our instincts and skills.

Because of the strict security, we couldn't bring weapons inside. That's where Luna came in, posing as a waitress. She needed to slip me at least one gun-just in case. It wasn't critical to the operation, but emergencies could happen. Meanwhile, Finnick was stationed outside as our lookout, ready to alert us if anything unusual occurred.

I had to complete this mission quickly and cleanly.

But... should I grant Evangeline's request?

Doubts began to creep into my mind again, but Rain's voice snapped me back to reality.

"You look stunning tonight, S," he whispered as he adjusted a strand of my hair.

All eyes were on us, just as we'd planned. We needed to stand out to catch Senator Windwood's attention. I was wearing a white dress with a slit up the side. It wasn't comfortable, but for the sake of the mission, I was prepared to do whatever it took-even if it meant stripping.

This mission had to succeed, no matter what.

"Just tonight?" I smirked. "Stop flirting. Focus."

I gently removed his hand and took two glasses of red wine from Luna, who passed by.

"Drink this, baby," I said, spotting some people glancing our way. I had to up my acting game.

"Serves you right," I heard Luna mutter through the comms. I couldn't help but grin as Rain scowled before reluctantly drinking the wine.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

He looked annoyed, but that just meant he'd take the mission more seriously now.

Before heading to the bar, Evangeline approached me. Her request had both shocked and amused me, especially since she rarely asked for help. Evangeline was notoriously proud and never sought assistance-even when she desperately needed it.

The only person she used to rely on was Haze, but ever since their agreement ended, they barely acknowledged each other.

"What are you doing here?" I asked without looking up as she entered and locked the door. "Don't you have your own mission tonight? You're really diligent, coming here."

"I need your help to complete my mission, Sapphire," she said firmly.

"For what?" I looked at her, raising an eyebrow as I placed my black kit-a seemingly ordinary makeup kit that actually contained a deadly poison-into my bag. "You've always said you can handle anything on your own, so what's changed?" "I need you to distract Senator Windwood and his people while I complete my part."

"You lured me into doing my mission tonight just to use me?" I asked bitterly.

She'd planned this all along. This bitch.

"If you're mad at me, save it for later. We have work to do." She stepped closer and whispered, "I have two missions tonight. One for Varlett and one for us." "What do you mean, us?"

She handed me a sticky note while pretending to hug me. It happened so quickly that the note almost slipped from my hand. Fortunately, I managed to clutch it to my chest. The hug wasn't for sentiment. It was to shield me from the room's CCTV cameras.

"There are too many enemies there. That's why I need your help," she said before stepping back.

"I'll signal you." She glanced at my chest before looking toward the door with a frown. Evangeline must have sensed what I had earlier: someone was eavesdropping.

"Wait for it," was the last thing she said before walking out.

I quickly went to the bathroom and unfolded the note.

"I can find something about Ash at that hideout. Give me enough time."

I smiled bitterly before flushing the note down the toilet.

Do you still believe Ash isn't responsible for what happened to me, Evangeline?

"Let's dance in the middle, love."

I snapped back to reality when Rain whispered in my ear and grabbed both of my hands. He pulled me toward the dance floor where the DJ was playing a sensual song. "Let's dance while we're at it, Sapphire."

I closed my eyes tightly when Ash's voice suddenly echoed in my head. I hated that I still remembered him even in the most trivial moments.

Focus, Sapphire. I couldn't let the past ruin the present.

"I see him," I whispered to Rain while swaying my hips. I moved up and down, noticing something hard in the middle of his pants. "Stop having a boner. I'll kill you."

"Is it my fault you're so sexy and dancing on me?" he growled, clearly struggling.

I pinched his ear lightly, causing him to give in and start moving with me. I wonder how Luna tolerated him every time I pair them with the missions.

One more sway, and I glanced subtly in Senator Windwood's direction. He was staring at me with lust and admiration. I winked at him before letting my body move closer to Rain.

I ran my fingers through Rain's hair while grinding against him and whispered, "Touch my butt." "What?"

"Do I need to repeat myself?"

"D-Don't slap me, okay?" he stammered before finally lowering his hand to one cheek of my butt and giving it a slight squeeze.

It wasn't sensual-it hurt. He squeezed it like a stress ball, and I couldn't help but tug on his hair in retaliation. But when I noticed the dark expression on Senator Windwood's face, I smiled. "Senator Windwood is possessive, like, really bad," Evangeline had told me before. "Use that to your advantage."

Evangeline was right, and I should thank her for that. Now, I won't have to work hard to approach him-he'll come to me on his own.

"Remove your hand now, dimwit," I hissed at Rain, irritation evident in my voice, though a seductive smile stayed on my lips. "And help L take out some of the bodyguards. F, stand by." "Copy," Finnick replied over the line.

"I already hacked the CCTV in his area. You're clear to move," Kesha added.

I smirked; despite how challenging hacking was for her right now, she still managed it like a pro. However, I know Kesha couldn't hold their system down for long.

"Here, ma'am. Enjoy!" Luna handed me two glasses of wine as I made my way toward him.

One of the glasses was poisoned. I had filled it earlier from the black kit I carried. It was a special poison Evangeline's organization had invented. She'd given it to me for free in exchange for my help. "Thank you-oh, sorry!"

I didn't expect Senator Windwood to suddenly be in front of me. My plan had been to give him the poisoned wine and drink the untainted one myself. I would start a conversation, keep it brief, and then leave. Spilling wine on his expensive shirt wasn't part of the plan.
