In the thick weather of the night, a gentle breeze swept through the curtains, making its way into Rilla’s room.The light sensation made her groan as she came to. Her hand raised to clutch her head as a massive migraine was pounding away at her skull bringing her back to the land of the living.She felt very weak even after the nice nap that she had. For her, it was a quick nap and it was giving her such pain. Hence, she took some aspirin that she found on the table beside her which helped her to gain some reality check.The entire house was quiet, and her room lights were turned off which was funny because she had left it on before falling asleep but shrugged it off thinking that it wasn't a big deal.She could smell Maya's residual scent around which probably explained that she had come in to tell her about her date, found her asleep, and left.She always switched the light off back at their place because she couldn't sleep with it so it must have been some kind of unconscious rea
“If something was going on, you would tell me right?'' Maya asked minutes later as they got to the room.Riella turned to face her, she had never seen her looking so unsure of herself and insecure. Trying to convince herself and Maya that it wouldn’t be anything bad, she grabbed Maya’s hands."Of course. I would never keep anything from you no matter what. Who knows maybe this was just a fluke. I'm alright now. I don't want you to worry too much about this when it could be nothing." She said as Maya sighed."You don't understand, I thought you were dead. If you didn't wake up, we would have buried you sooner or later. Not that Luther would care. He seems to not care about you nowadays." She said throwing a side eye at the door in vivid remembrance of Luther’s unbothered attitude.Riella sighed, a numb pain going through her at the thought of the rejection but she ignored it. If she told Maya about this, she was certain that they were going to blow a fuss over it and that was not what
The residents of the Reign mansion sat at the dining table the next morning, still staring at their breakfast as a silent hush fell on everyone.It seemed a bit uncomfortable and the air tensed but nobody made a move to break it at all."Okay, this is utterly ridiculous. Are you all going to not say anything when you called us here for a meeting." tightening his grip on the arm of his chair, Luther glanced over at everyone.Andrew looked at Koel who nodded his head in a sort of approval before he proceeded to speak;"Cyrus, Koel, and I were able to find out what is wrong with Lady Gabriella." He stated.The announcement made Maya and Riella turn to face Andrew giving him their complete attention as he continued,"Luckily when she woke up and was able to give a more in-depth narration of her symptoms, we were able to narrow it down and it's not good." He released a disappointing sigh."Being unconscious for days is only the beginning for the days will extend into weeks and soon enough
Later on, Koel, Luther, and Maya were alone at the dining table having a separate conversation about the issue at hand."We both know that this kind of talk wouldn't happen with Cyrus and Riella around. But this is the time for us to be fucking logical. I'm not about to lose my best friend and since they don't want to do the deed. That means that we have to put this on our heads. " Maya said looking at the both of them as they nodded their heads in agreement."So what are we saying then? What can we do? Make them have sex? Control their bodies or what? If they don't want to, we can't do anything." Luther said pointing the fact out as Maya replied,"I know that that is why I have the perfect solution. I need sex boosters and enhancers, slip them in their meals and have them take it. They won't see any choice but to mate with each other and hopefully mark each other. It may take weeks but she will forgive me." Maya said but the fear in her face lingered enough to be noticed."Well that'
Riella got to Shannon’s suite in record time. She didn’t have to knock twice before Shannon opened the door for her with a smile on her face."You came." She stated, a bit tired as Riella stared at her for a while."You called,” Gabriella said softly; “ What happened? You sounded so panicked on the phone. What's going on this time around?" She questioned, crossing her hands as Shannon sighed looking away."I don't know how to tell you this, This is bad…Very bad." She faltered making Riella groan in frustration."Not you too. Look I just walked out of my house right now because I found out that the people I trusted were planning to drug me just for something instead of telling me the truth, and now you are calling me and saying all this. I'm already in a bad mood. Just say it once and for all ." She demanded.Shannon let out a sigh, her chest heaving up as she wrung her hands.She did want to take matters into her own hands and hopefully, this means that she might finally be able to t
Riella was not going to let Olive walk all over her again. She turned to Martha and said,"Leave us. This doesn't concern you at all okay? I don't want you here” she said with amber evident in her eyes for Olive.“You could get hurt I'll take care of this." She added as Martha hesitated looking at of them. Martha knew the bullshits that Olive was capable of. After all she had watched Olive bring down her reputation, making Riella feel insecure and unsure of herself all the time which was why she didn't want to go.She was happy when she heard that Riella had left the house because that meant that she would not be hurting under Olive again."Are you sure?" Martha mumbled as Riella nodded her head assuredly.Olive laughed feeling very amused at what she was watching, It was so funny trying to see them act like they could do a thing to her."Okay then." She said giving a bow as she hurriedly left leaving Riella behind with Olive who remarked;"You shouldn't have told her to leave. You
Riella stormed out of the house with a silent aura around her. Martha trailing behind her with a bag. Earlier she had told Martha to come with her and bring the things she needed because she wasn't going to step back here as long as she lived.She had given her father her warning as they wept over Grace's dead body.Now in the car, Riella grabbed her steering wheel thinking as Martha spoke,"Where am I going to go now, Gabriella?" She said as Riella turned to her and smiled,"Home with me. All my life, you have looked after me like a mum would especially after Edwards took my mum from me. And seeing the disrespect you were being treated there, made me realize how awful those people could be. I don't want you there anymore. So you will be coming with me." She said as Martha nodded her head trying to wrap her head around everything."What about the cops? Won't they come for you?" She said a bit fearful. She knew that Gabriella now was not the same sweet innocent girl she knew and she wa
The ride home was silent, Maya wanted to know what was going on, but she knew that she would not be able to get anything from the now mute Riella and they had another factor to consider, Martha was here.Sure she loves Martha, but was taking her away really advisable? Olive wouldn’t bully their maids like she did to them, but she also knew that Riella had come through for her when she was being bullied by Olive and she would be a hypocrite if she had anything negative to say.The day kept getting weirder with the impromptu rain and Gabriella missing five minutes of her time. She last checked the time at 5:35 pm just to see it switch to 5:40 pm and she barely blinked. She didn't even know how she would be able to read a digital clock wrongly, but that was something to ponder on later.Parking the car at the house, she helped Riella to get down as she instructed some maids to accompany Martha to a furnished room."Riella we have reached home. Are you alright now?" She asked as Riella l
