She entered the room and noticed that the wooden floor wet. Following the trail of water stains, it led to the bathroom.
Violeta rushed to the bathroom door and knocked anxiously. âBro? Bro, whatâs going on?â
Didnât he say didnât drink that water? Could Hattie have played some other tricks??
Hayden, who was lying in the bathtub, heard Violetaâs voice and suddenly opened his eyes. He turned to face the bathroom door, cleared his throat, and said, âNiallâs not here.â
Huh?
Violeta was stunned to hear Haydenâs voice from the bathroom.
âHayden? Why are you here? Isnât this Niallâs room?â
No wayâ¦
Are Hayden and Niall.
Just as Violeta was trying to make sense of it all, Haydenâs voice came from inside . âI swapped rooms with him today.
âWhy?â
Hayden closed his eyes and leaned back on the bathtub pillow. âThat water , werenât you worried there was something wrong with it?â
Violeta frowned. âHow did you know? You didnât drink from that water jug, did you!?â
âI did.â
Before the servant brought the water jug to the room, Hayden was discussing matters in Niallâs room, mainly conveying something about a project his dad was working on downtown. The servant brought the water jug in and poured a of water for Hayden first, and he it.
Later, Violeta hurried in and emptied the jug, so Hayden suspected there might be something wrong with iL
But it already too late.
So, he simply suggested sleeping in Niallâs room instead.
He made up a story about the mattress being too soft to sleep on. Niall didnât think much about it and agreed.
Violeta was very surprised after hearing the whole story.
âSo you drank that water. Why you tell me earlier? How do you feel now?â
âIâm fine.â

Violeta lowered her eyes roughly guessing what Hattie might have added to the water.

After glancing at the water on the ground, Violeta turned around, found a towel in the nearby rounded cabinet, and threw it on the ground to soak up the water stains.
Then she walked to the bathroom and asked, âShould I call someone if youâre not feeling well?â
The medicine Hattie found on the island was similar to an aphrodisiac..
The medicinal properties werenât very strong.
long as Hayden kept controlling his thoughts and lowered his body temperature, he would be fine. He hadnât reached the point of losing control of his mind.
Hayden sighed and said. âNo need. Iâm fine. You can go back.â
Violeta left the room, closing the door behind her.
Hayden, thinking she had gone, relaxed in the bathtub, trying to calm himself down by closing his eyes.
But not long after, he heard the door open again.
âWhy are you back?â Violeta had brought a chair and a phone charger.
âYouâre lying in the bathtub. What if you fall asleep and drown? Iâll stay here watching movies just in case.â
If Hayden passed out in the tub, he could drown.
His expression fell as he said, âNo need. I can manage.â
He wasnât foolish. If the drug was too strong, he would have called a doctor already.
âAre you shy? I can get Zoren to stay with you. I canât let you sit in a bathtub full of water. Itâs not safe.â
Hayden fell silent.
Get Zoren?
Thatâs basically announcing to everyone what happened.
âDo you want,â he uttered, left with no choice.
Then, neither of them spoke.
Violeta found the horror movie they planned to watch and started it, fully engaged.
She had the volume up, causing Hayden to be unable to sleep due to the scary sound effects coming through the door.
Meanwhile, Hattie, sensing the moment was right, sneaked out of her room, ready to go upstairs to Niallâs
Toom.
But as she climbed the stairs, she saw a shadow dart past upstairs, startling her.
She nearly screamed.

Slowly turning her head, she saw an eagle perched on the railing of the second floor under the dim corridor lights, its eyes fixed on her, ceric and unsettling.
Then, from the room ahead, came a faint shrick. It was the soundtrack of a horror movie.
This startled Hattic, causing her to lose her footing and tumble down the stairs.
Thud, thud, thud.
She fell hard.
A servant came with a flashlight to check and was startled when she saw Hattie under the light..
She had rolled down the stairs and lay curled up on the ground. She had hit her head on the pillar, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
