Katie didn't hesitate this time. She twisted the cap off the bottle and poured the pills into her hand. They were too big to mix into food whole, so she ground them into powder.
In the end, Katie agreed to Grannie Anita's terms. She had no choice. Just an hour ago, loan sharks showed up at her door, cut off her husband's finger, and threatened to go after her daughter if they didn't get their money. The debt had ballooned from thirty thousand dollars to a million with interest.
Where on earth was she going to find that kind of cash?
Her daughter was terrified and called Katie, begging her to come up with a solution. If her future in-laws found out about the debt, the wedding would be off.
Grinding the pills into powder, Katie kept telling herself she was doing the right thing. Anastasia, her daughter-in-law, had cheated, and the baby she was carrying had no place in the Salstrom family.
With that thought, Katie's guilt eased a bit.
After the pills were ground into powder, Katie headed to the kitchen and started making sweet and sour ribs and roast chicken with chestnuts. She mixed the powder into the chicken and the bird's nest soup that Anastasia usually drank.
Grannie Anita had promised thirty thousand upfront, and once the deed was done, she'd get the rest and a house as well.
Katie's hands shook and her heart raced as she added the powder, but her fear didn't stop her.
In the living room, Anastasia was watching a new product launch from an international jewelry brand. She'd never given up on jewelry design. Keeping up with current trends and understanding what people liked was vital to staying relevant in the industry.
Just then, Salma, the housekeeper, came back with Pattie. Seeing Anastasia watching TV, she asked, "Ana, feeling any better?"
"I rested a bit, so yeah, better," Anastasia adjusted her position and smiled, "Mom, could I get some juice?"
"Sure, I'll get it for you."
As long as Anastasia was okay, Salma felt relieved.
When Salma entered the kitchen to get the juice, she saw Katie working on the roast chicken. "Smells amazing, Katie. You'll have to teach me how to make this sometime."
