Desmond drew her from his bosom and held her hands, wiping her tears. Gisella stared at his face with a faint smile.
"Enough with the tears, Gisella– Come on, save the rest for the future." He joked. "Now, let's go; this calls for a celebration. Don't worry, the bill is on me." He uttered with a smile. Gisella nodded, her gloomy look instinctively replaced with smiles and she hugged him.
" I'm so lucky to have you beside me, Desmond– Thank you for choosing me" She whispered underneath her breath. Lizzy who silently stared at them with smiles instinctively let out a tactful cough.
"Huh...huh...huh..." She cleared her throat, drawing back their attention.
" Snap out of it, Love birds–Don't forget I'm still here." She teased with a chuckle and their lips swiftly curved with a sheepish smile as they withdrew from each other, feeling embarrassed.
"Sorry, Aunty." They both exuded and she chuckled.
"No worries, dear– Shall we go now?"
" Sure, let's get out of here and catch some fun," Gisella added, taking the lead with Desmond while Lizzy tailed along, beaming with smiles. They strolled out of the company to the car park where their car was. Gisella opened the driver's side of the car about to get in when she suddenly paused, feeling dizzy.
" Ouch....my head.....", she cried.
THE ANTONIO'S MANSION
Agnes rushed through the corridor as sped down the stairs, screaming and shouting in fear. Flashes of what she just witnessed in Natasha's room kept haunting her subconscious mind.
" Ah!– Someone, please....help. Save me, Please..." She desperately cried, anxiety coupled with fear combined to shed several kilograms of fat from her body as she descended.
Natasha on the other hand stared at the door with a murderous gaze as she heard Angie's voice echo through the mansion.
" No, I've got to do something about her before she exposes me– I can't risk anything now. She mustn't live else I'm doomed." She reasoned and without a second thought or hesitation, she sped after her.
She got to the corridor upstairs and her roguish gaze swiftly lurked downstairs in search of her. Just then, she saw her racing towards the door, screaming.
" There you are" She exclaimed with a grin and flicked her fingers at the door.
Agnes finally got to the door and tried opening it but she couldn't, it was locked.
" Oh, no– Why can't I open this damn door." She stuttered, nervous. On an impulse, she shouted; harshly turning the knob. " Help, please–Anyone out there." Natasha chuckled, descending the stairs with a mischievous gleam in her eyes. She instinctively clicked her tongue, wiping her index finger at her in the process.
" No escape, Agnes" She stuttered with a smile.
Hearing Natasha's voice, she swiftly turned in her direction. Natasha approached majestically with dark glowing eyes, laughing.
Agnes screamed helplessly and fell unconscious.
THE COMPANY'S CAR PARK
Gisella felt dizzy, everything suddenly became blurred. Desmond and Lizzy hurriedly rushed to her side, worried. He held her, nervous "Are you okay, Gisel?"He queried with a worried look.
" My....heard..." She forced the words out. Just then, everything went dark. She fell in a trance and a scene appeared before her eyes– It was a scene of their house. She suddenly heard screams coming from the house.
VISION
Agnes held the door, trying to force it opened but failed. She tried everything possible which proved pointless.
" Someone... please help me.....!!!!! ", She helplessly screamed while Natasha, fast approached.
************
" Agnes!" No, leave her alone..."Gisella shouted as if she was actually at the scene.
Lizzy and Desmond, nervously shook her as they tried to revive her.
" Gisel...Gisella....!!! " Desmond shouted. She was finally drawn out of her trance– She deftly stared at him with a questioning gaze, panting.
" What happened, dear? – Are you, okay?" Lizzy cried.
" Yes...I'm fine, aunty, there's no cause for alarm. Let's go home now" She answered, rushing into the car.
Desmond hurriedly drew her back and shut the door.
" Seriously? Gisella, you think what just happened is okay, we should go home?" He sighed and went on. "You suddenly fell unconscious and you call it okay?– Huh? You're unbelievable. Come on, let's take you to the hospital now..... Take the next seat, I'll drive." He insisted but Gisella refused.
" No, I'm perfectly fine Desmond. I need to get home now, it's urgent!"
" No, not on my watch, young lady...Let's get you checked before anything else...Come on....", He held her hand and drew her towards the seat beside the driver's side but Gisella furiously snatched her hand from his grip.
" Cut it out, Desmond– let's go off me, I said I'm fine, don't you get it..." She shouted.
Lizzy and Desmond gazed at her, puzzled. She sighed sheepishly.
" I'm sorry for what just happened, guys but we need to get to the house now.....Agnes is in danger, please." She explained and this alarmed them.
" What?– Agnes? What happened to her?" Lizzy cried.
" There's no time for questioning, aunty... If it's that urgent then we need to rush now.....", Desmond exclaimed, nervous.
" You're right.....let's go....now..." Answered Lizzy in an anxious tone.
" Why didn't you say this earlier, Gisella." Desmond queried, settling beside her in the car.
" I tried but you were too worried to listen to anything else"
" Sorry about that." He replied.
" Alright, let's go now..." She answered and hurriedly steered the car on the road and sped off from the premises.
" Wait a little longer, Agnes.....we're coming " She whispered.
