Chapter 4 - The Deadly Toast
Standing at the center of the head table, Austin had raised his glass high in the air, calling for the attention of every guest in the room.
"A toast to my beautiful sister, Monica!" Austin announced arrogantly, his loud voice booming through the speakers. "May she get the exact surprise she deserves tonight!"
The room applauded warmly, oblivious to the dark malice hidden behind his words.
Monica held her glass steadily, looking directly into her brother's eyes with a level, calm expression that held zero fear.
"I can barely contain my anticipation, Austin," Monica replied in a calm, steady tone.
Austin smirked, tilting his head back and draining his entire champagne glass down to the last drop, believing he had just sealed his sister's fate.
Monica raised her glass gracefully, taking a small, elegant sip of her completely clean champagne.
As Austin set his empty glass back onto the table, he wiped his mouth with a linen napkin, waiting for the chemical agent to take effect on Monica.
Three minutes passed, then five.
