Chapter 7 - The Framed Maid
"Search the room!" Dante bellowed to the guards. "Find where the vial came from!"
One of Dante's loyal henchmen immediately walked over to the corner of the room, near the cleaning cart Elena had left near the bookshelf. He reached behind a stack of microfiber towels and pulled out a small, amber glass bottle.
"Found it, Boss!" the guard announced, holding up the vial. "A concentrated extract of deadly nightshade. And it was hidden inside the maid's cleaning cart!"
Elena’s face drained of all color. "What?! No! I didn't put that there! I swear on my life, I've never seen that bottle before!"
"You're the only one who cleans Mr. Moretti's private desk!" Dante spat, drawing his sidearm once again and pointing it directly at Elena. "She tried to murder the Boss! Take her to the basement!"
"No! Please! I didn't do it!" Elena cried out, shielding Sophia behind her back as two guards moved in to grab her arms.
