*****RAQUEL’S ROOM*****
Raquel sat on her bed thinking of how to drive the lady out of the house. She dialed her parents number but none of them were picking there calls
She sniffed as she felt like she is abandoned, she is left in the hands of people she doesn’t know nor like. She wiped the tears on her face as she kept thinking about the lady because the aura coming from her is kinda scary which made her wonder why her nanny left all of a sudden without a note or something
It also baffles here that nobody knows her whereabout
The door opened and the lady walked in while Raquel flinched a little
“What are you doing here young miss?”. The lady asked sarcastically but Raquel ignored her
“So you don’t talk anymore. This is wonderful. Let me have your phone”. The lady said stretching her hands towards her
“Why should a stranger my phone?”. Raquel fired holding her phone tight to herself
“I need to make this clear to you. If you call from today till you die. No one will save you. You are trapped with me baby”. The lady said laughing like a maniac
“What do you want from me?”. Raquel yelled while the lady stopped laughing
“Nothing but my boss wants something from you”. The lady said and snatched the phone from her
“If you say a word to anyone then consider yourself dead”. The lady said in a mean tone which frightened her a lot
“Please, don’t kill me. My brother will give you any amount you want. Just name your price”. She said sniffing
“That’s what I wanna know. Let see if your brother loves you that much”. She smirked and left the room
Raquel sat on the bed wiping profusely as the tears refuse to stop
“Rocky you promised to pick my calls”. She muttered as she kept crying
“Come out now and move to the kitchen brat!!!”. The lady yelled and Raquel decided to Ignore her
“Are you deaf!!!!”. She yelled again and Raquel stood up and left the room heading to the kitchen

*****CADDEL’S MANSION*****
Itzel paced to and fro still thinking of how to tell Rocky about Birdie’s plan
She got frustrated as she thought of nothing. She picked her phone and dialed his number
“I’ll just tell him anyhow”. She muttered taking in deep breath
It kept ringing but got no response till it hanged up itself. She dailed it again just it’s till the same
She angrily threw her phone on the bed. She bit her fingers as tears poured down her eyes
“Does he h@të me that much?”. She asked no one in particular as she started at her phone
She picked her phone again and dialed Arlette’s number. Her phone rang till it hanged up itself
She groaned and collapse on her bed as tears kept pouring down her eyes
She thought of what to do as she bit her lips aggressively. She picked her phone again and made a quick order from the pastry shop with hope she gets her delivery from Ash

*****ZODE’S MANSION*****
Raquel kept crying her eyes out as she washed the clean dishes. She receives a lash immediately she breaks a plate. She has broken a lot and she has also received lots of wipes
Visible scars are seen on the spot the wipe touched. The maids giggled softly as they witness the scene of her screaming in pain
“Please, I’m tired. This is my first time doing this”. Raquel pleaded as another plate fell from her hand
The lady stood up and wiped her hard on her back. She screamed and fell. A broken plate pierced into her arm and blood oozed out of it. She screamed out in pain and the lady laughed out so loud
“Never knew a rude princess could beg for mercy”. She said and laughed again
“No food tonight. Clean up this mess and go to your room in silence. If I hear noise, then you will be on your knees throughout the night”. She said and left the kitchen with the wipe while the maids rushed into the kitchen
“Sorry princess”. They said and laughed before leaving the kitchen
Raquel stood up holding her arm as blood kept rushing out the arm. She bit her lips trying to suppress the pain. She hurriedly packed the broken plates on the floor and rushed to her room
She brought out the first aid box and she stared at it not knowing what to do
She carefully read the instructions on each of the things in it. She took the spirit and poured some on the wool. She placed it on her wound and bit her lips hard trying to suppress the pain as her faced turned red immediately with sweat covering her face
She started breathing heavily as the pain reduce. She heaved a sigh of relief and applied it on the wound again but it was not as painful as the first time
She cleaned the blood on it, returned the box and fell heavily on the bed as tears poured down her face
She quickly wiped it and laid properly waiting for sleep to take over

*****CADDEL’S MANSION*****
Ash walked in immediately she opened the door and it’s obvious he is kinda angry
“Do you realize it late?”. He asked and she nod pulling him to the chair
“I’m sorry I placed a late order. It just that I need to talk you”. She replied and he sighed creating a little space between them
“They all h@të me and I don’t know what to do”. Itzel said sniffing while he quickly got the clue
“That doesn’t warrant tears. You need to go for action if your voice can’t be heard. I’m sure after that, their hatred for you will reduce”. He replied and she kept crying while he groaned looking elsewhere
He moved closer and pat her back. He then remembered his sister and he sighed still patting her back
“How do I even make a move when I don’t know what is happening. I don’t even know where to start from”. She said still in tears
“Who do you love among them?”. He asked and she looked at him for a while before diverting her eyes somewhere else
“The girl because she looks so innocent and fragile even though I haven’t seen with my eyes”. She replied and he scoffed
“I’ll help you out but on one condition”. He said and she looked at him hoping she will be able to attempt his condition
“What’s that?”. She asked curiously and he smiled
“If you will help me look for my sister”. He replied and she heaved a sigh of relief
“If we are doing both together, then I’m fine with it”. She replied wiping her tears
“Sure”. He said and she smiled
“So we are good right?”. She asked and he nod while he let out a small smile
“Here is my card, call me when you are ready”. She sai stretching it towards him
He ignored it and walked to the door. He twisted the nob gently and he stopped
“Goodnight”. He said and walked out not waiting for her reply
He mounted on his bike and zoomed off heading back to the pastry shop

*****UNKNOWN LOCATION*****
Channel coughed as she opened her eyes slowly. She shivered as she looked around the old and dusty room
She tried moving her hands but she is tied to a chair. She kept struggling with it trying to free herself. The door burst open and a guy walked in with a mask on
“Oh, our little girlfriend is awake. Thought you slipped into coma”. He said laughing so hard
“Who are you and what do you want from me?”. She yelled and the guy stopped laughing
He walked towards her and landed a resounding slap on her cheek
She winced unable to touch her face. He grabbed her hair forcefully and spat on her face while she scrunched her face in disgust
“The next time you yell at me ends the day you exist”. He threatened and released her roughly earning a scream from her
“I have no business l with you but don’t mess with me. My boss has a nice and clean business with you but if you refuse then it’s gonna be bloody”. He said and moved away from her
“Who is your boss? And what does he want from me?”. She asked in tears
“Awwwwwwwwn… Our girlfriend is not even strong. Wait till you know what the boss wants from you”. He said and the door opened again revealing a lady with a mask dressed in black outfit
She smirked and walked towards her. She placed her hands on the arm of the chair bringing her face close to Channel’s face while Channel moved her face backwards
She left the chair roughly earning a gasp Channel
“What do you want from me?”. She asked gently and the lady laughed
“I guess your so called boyfriend has been feeding you with boldness”. She said and Channel hissed silently
“Lash her till she bleeds everywhere. It’s been long I witnessed a thing like this”. The lady said sitting on a chair in front of Channel
“No you can’t do this to me. Please I beg you. Please!!!!”. She pleaded bit they both turn deaf ears as they kept smiling
