Barely two days had passed and Monalisa had been asked to join the other slaves to work. She managed to pull herself together and do as she had been told but had planned to cause trouble that would make them punish her. Someone had told her a story after she started working that caught her interest and she hoped that what she had heard would be her fate.“What are you doing, are planning on getting yourself killed?” Gabby, one of the slave girls who had told her the story asked, gesturing for her with her eyes to obey the instruction of the vampire who was in command.Monalisa just flashed Gabby a smile and remained adamant, hoping that she would be sentenced to death immediately after being caught not carrying out her duty, just as Gabby had told her about some other girls who were killed like that.“Hey, can you not hear me?” Gabby asked again, her eyes widened as she wondered what Monalisa was up to. She was about to say another word to Monalisa when the vampire in charge came and
Felicia pushed open the door after she heard Hamilton ask her to come in, still feeling excited to bring him the news about Monalisa being sent to the arena.Hamilton furrowed his brows as he set eyes on Felicia, wondering why she had come to see him. “Is there a problem?” he asked, taking his gaze away from her, hoping it is not about turning her into a vampire.“I brought news boss,” Felicia told him, lowering her gaze as she did not want him to see how happy she was.“What news?” Hamilton asked immediately, still not looking at her.“It’s Monalisa,” Felicia said calmly, her gaze on Hamiliton as she spoke.“What is it about Monalisa?” He asked immediately he heard her mention Monalisa’s name, turning his gaze to Felicia again and peering hard at her too as he wondered what this was about. He had asked that Monalisa join the other slaves to work so that she would understand her reality and because he wanted to punish her for causing him to think of her often. He did not want to hav
“Excuse me?” Monalisa muttered.“Come on, follow me,” Felicia commanded, gesturing for Monalisa to follow her and ignoring the way she looked.“I am going nowhere with you, call him to take me back,” Monalisa said sharply, talking about Vince.“What?” Felicia said, turning to face her properly again.“I am not going anywhere with you, I want to stay here,” Monalisa said again, peering hard at Felicia this time.“You have been released, didn’t you hear him?” Felicia said, getting furious at Monalisa for trying to be stubborn. She is angrier because she cannot punish her just yet.“Who gave you the right to interfere?” Monalisa told her angrily.“I did not interfere, do you hear me, if it were up to me you would have been dead already, so stop being stubborn and follow me right away.” Felicia snapped, glaring at her. She knew that if Hamilton got to the room and didn’t find Monalisa there, he may punish her since he had given her the command to bring her there. “Hamilton asked that you
“What do you want?” Doctor Clara asked as soon as Felicia walked into the clinic. She was still worried about Monalisa whom she heard was taking to the arena and thought that Felicia was there to taunt her for it.“Monalisa needs to be taken care of, Hamilton’s order,” Felicia told her rudely and turned towards the door again. She was not in a good mood and did not feel like talking to anyone at the moment and especially not Clara.“What, Monalisa is in the room?” Clara muttered in surprise and wondered how she got to leave the arena alive. She quickly scrambled for a few medical kits and rushed out of the clinic.Felicia who was already outside the clinic got angrier after she saw Clara walk past her in a hurry. She turned in her direction, deciding to see Monalisa, she is going to ask her why she did not take her advice.Clara rushed into the room Monalisa was in and went straight to the bed but was shocked to see the state Monalisa was in.Monalisa furrowed her brows immediately as
Hamilton rushed out of his room, hating the news he had received but needed to confirm what Felicia had told him even though he doubted that she would dare lie to him.Felicia followed behind him too as she wanted to see what he would do to Monalisa.Monalisa and Clara turned towards the door immediately they heard it go open, their faces turned pale as they saw who it was.Hamilton moved swiftly towards Monalisa’s bed and quickly picked up her wrist to Monalisa’s surprise.Doctor Clara quickly understood what was going on as she saw Felicia walking into the room too.“So it is true,” Hamilton sneered at Monalisa after he saw the bandage around her wrist.“What…” Monalisa muttered, still not sure what was going on, trying not to be afraid of him and instead hoping she could use the rage she saw in him to her advantage.“How dare you try to kill yourself?” Hamilton asked in a deep terrifying tone which sent a cold chill down Clara’s spine even though she was not the one Hamilton was sp
Elly gazed down at baby Mario in his cradle, admiring his cuteness and feeling thankful that he came into his life. It has already been days and she could feel that she had fallen deeply in love with him. She lifted her gaze and smiled at Greg who was seated on an armchair in front of her outside the courtyard. She had also fallen in love with Greg but decided to keep it to herself as she knew that he had just recently lost his wife. She would give him time and would wait no matter how long it would take. She had promised in her heart beside, they are already living like a couple. At least anyone looking could think that they were a married couple who had a baby too.Greg flashed her a smile too, feeling thankful for the way she had been taking care of them, especially Mario whom he wondered what he would have done if not for Elly.His wounds have been healed but have not healed without leaving a scar in his right leg. “You are still good looking the way you are, you do not have to
“I do not want to continue living like this,” Monalisa suddenly broke down, allowing the tears she had been fighting not to fall from her eyes to flow freely.Doctor Clara slowly moved to the bed where Monalisa was after peering at her for a while to console her, knowing how frustrating it is to be Hamilton’s prisoner.Felicia peered at her too but did not care about her tears. She was thinking about how she is going to survive in Viper city and would not want Monalisa to ruin her plan or take her place. She hates it when Hamilton commanded that she and Clara look after Monalisa.“Hush now, Monalisa, you have to stop wishing for death and take this as a sign that your son wants you to live.” Clara said, patting her back.Monalisa shook her head sideways in disagreement with what Clara said, “how can my son want me to live like this, he must be lonely without me?” Monalisa said tearfully, covering her face with her palms and crying into them. She wished once again that she could turn
“Thanks,” Monalisa replied and then took off.Felicia smiled wickedly to herself as she knew that Monalisa was going to be caught. “I want to see how you would escape death this time Monalisa,” she said inwardly as she knew that trying to escape from viper city is a grave crime that meant immediate death.Hamilton tilt his head backwards as he perceived a familiar scent. “Monalisa.” He muttered as he recognized her scent even though he has not seen her.“What is she doing out here?” He asked again peering in the direction of her scent as she approached him.“Is she trying to run away?” Hamilton asked inwardly again as he saw her walking speedily in his direction. “She is definitely trying to run away from me,” he said inwardly again, taking note of her movement.He groaned deeply and quickly moved swiftly to stand in front of her, taking her by surprise.Monalisa paused abruptly, her feet suddenly stuck to the ground as she saw Hamilton standing in front of her. “How come he is here i
