DOUBLE DEATH TRAP
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56A WEEK AFTER
It's been a week after Gisel's incident but yet no sign of her waking up. Natasha on the other hand, tried her possible best to end her life but it all failed drastically due to the constant visit of Desmond who mostly spent all day beside her.Meanwhile, Antonio's health had already started deteriorating due to Natasha's constant poisoning and this had made it impossible for him to visit his daughter often. He stood at his library, his gaze fixed on some files on the shelf when Natasha trod in with a tray." Coffee?", she called from the door. Antonio instntively nodded without looking back at her. His eyes locked on the files. She smirked, placed the tray on the table and drew out a mini bottle from her pocket." Antonio, i'll like to visit Gisel at the hospital today with some flowers and a teddy bear" She stuttered. "What do you say about that.?" She consciously glanced from time to time to make sure he wasn't watching while she dropped the contents of the bottle into the coffee." That's great" he answered, lost in his files. Natasha smiled and glided over to his end with the coffee." Here you go– your coffee" She gently placed it on the table. Antonio gazed up at her with a faint smile. "Thanks, dear" He eluded. Natasha kept her fixed, wolfish glare on him as he took a sip. She smirked"Mission accomplished " She mumbled in her thoughts and snared but masked it up with a composed gaze. "Will you like to come along?"She expectantly stared at Antonio as he slowly settled in his chair. His face, pale. His chest rose and fell rapidly with heavy but difficult breath." No, Nat" He mumbled "i'll visit later– You are already aware of my condition at the moment and know my doctor asked me to have enough rest because of my health. My heart still feels weak and beats faster when I stress. Although I'm taking the medicine he prescribed, yet it shows no sign of change" He coughed." Sorry, dear– here , take this water" She helped him as he took a sip of the glass of water. "I understand your condition– don't worry, you'll be fine in no time. I'll take care of everything till you recover " She assured with a broad smile which made Antonio smile as well." Thank you so much, Nat for all the love and care you show to Gisel and I. Although she's quite different from the other kids you know, yet you love her like your own. I really appreciate it and I love you so much for that..."He held her hand and kissed her on her forehead. She smiled and held his hand as she stared into his eyes. " No need to thank me dear– i'm only doing my duty as Gisel's mother and your wife. I love her as much as I love you..." She hugged him." I've got to go now before visiting hours is over. I'll let Gina take charge while i'm away but please don't stress so much. Call any of the maids if you need anything and leave the documents and files– you need to take some rest now – I'll ask George to come for them, okay?"" Alright, I will" He stuttered. Natasha smiled and rose to her feet." See you later then, bye" She kissed him at the cheek and hurried out of the library with a cunning smile .******************THE BRILLIANTS SCHOOL COMPLEX
FOOTBALL FIELDDesmond sat at the far end of the field in his jersey, gazing absent mindedly at his colleagues while they train. He looked depressed and nervous. Martin, Desmond's childhood friend stood among their friends, his gaze fixed on him. He sighed and glided over to his side." Hey, Desmond!" He called and Desmond instinctively turned towards him. " Are you okay? You've been like this ever since we started training. You neither train nor laugh as you use to " He mumbled as he settled beside him. "Tell me, is something bordering you?"" Nothing, I'm fine", Desmond answered, looking down." What do you mean by nothing" He tapped him at he shoulder, worried. "Look here, Desmond,–We've been friends since childhood and I know how you behave when everything is alright with you. This is not like you"He drew closer to him and pulled his hand over Desmond's shoulder." You know you can trust me with anything– come, let me know what the problem is maybe I can be of help." He added. Desmond instinctively gazed up at him and just stared in silence. " If I tell him it's about Gisella, he might curse her. " He thought to himself. "No, i can't let him speak evil about her. I feel hurt when people treat her badly. It's better I keep it to myself " He mumbled. " I said its nothing, Martin– Just let me be, I want to be alone ." He trod out of the field, pissed.*************HOSPITALNatasha trod through the corridors of the hospital towards Gisella's ward with flowers and a teddy in her hand. Just when she approached her ward, she saw a nurse sauntering out. She hurriedly paced towards her." Nurse?– Nurse!" she called, making her pause in her steps. "Can I have a word with you?" " Sure, Ma'am" She answered. Natasha drew closer to her and whispered." Can we go inside? It's a private discussion." The nurse gazed at her, a bit confused but nodded in response. They strolled back into Gisella's ward. Sure no one else was around apart from the two of them, the nurse quried first." How can I help you, Mrs?"" Um, I want you to inject her to death" Natasha retorted. She gasped, her eyes swiftly lurked around to be sure they were really alone."What do you mean, ma'am?" She eluded, totally shocked by her words."I mean, I want her dead" The nurse nervously chuckled as she shook her head in disagreement. "Sorry, ma'am but I can't do such an evil act– it's against our code of conduct" She insisted." You need to, please. Can't you see, there is no hope of her gaining her consciousness. She will die anyway. Please help me end her suffering. I'll pay you any amount you want...." Natasha stuttered with a pleading gaze. The nurse glanced at Gisel and back at Natasha, tensed and nervous. She let out an inaudible sigh and spoke up."Um, okay–I'll do it" Natasha smirked but masked it up with a troubled and worried look." Thanks so much dear..."" Welcome. I've got to go now. I need to attend to other patients..." She quickly trod out of the ward. Natasha slowly moved to Gisella's bed, smiling." Let's see how you escape this time– It's an inevitable double death trap. If one fails, one will surely get the task done. She dropped the flowers on the table beside Gisella's bed and the teddy bear beside her on the bed.Natasha drew out a small bottle like a perfume and sprayed it over the flowers and the teddy bear while she kept her nose covered with a mask." Sleep well, honey and don't forget to send my regards to everyone at the other side, especially your mother. She chuckled and she caressed Gisel's hair after which she trod out of the ward, a broad smile dazzled on her face.Related chapters
MY REFLECTION NARROW ESCAPE
ANTONIO'S MANSIONLizzy was busy as usual, attending to her chores in the kitchen when a ring from the door bell invaded. She groaned in exhaustion and yelled out at Agnes who stood at the hall with Lola, Natasha's cat." Agnes, please get the door." Agnes whined in hesitation" Why should it be me?" She cried. "I'm very busy at the moment– can't you get it yourself or ask Gina to do so and stop bordering me." She roared back which made Lizzy bursted out in anger." Silly head!" She cursed. " Can't you see I'm busy at the kitchen and Gina is still attending to Mr. Antonio at his library? – By the way what are you so busy with that you can't get the door...."" Taking care of Mrs. Natasha's cat. It hasn't eaten since morning and I don't want it to starve to death." She swiftly cut in. Lizzy's jaw slacked in awe." What?" She howled, tilting her head. "Gosh, Agnes, I will so kill you before the cat if I get there." She threatened whic
MY REFLECTION THE SACRED TRUTH( THE SECRET BEHIND NATASHA)
ANTONIO'S MANSION Natasha trod down the stairs, her thoughts enveloped her." Who dare to interfere last night?" She mumbled. "I know the person who took Desmond away wasn't human but where from that spirit?– why can't I find any trace of it's hideout?" She paused in her steps with a calculative gaze." Such strong spirit will be a great tool for me against Gisella's soul. I wish I knew where to find it." Her mind kept drifting deeper in thoughts. Just then, Gina's voice echoed from the kitchen."Ma'am ! , Ma'am !!" She approached her in a rush which drew her back to reality."What's it, Gina?" She retorted in a cold tone. "Why are you disturbing my peace this early morning –Can't I just have a peaceful day for once!?"She glared furiously at Gina making her tremble in fear." Um, sorry, ma'am. I just came to tell you that, Mr Antonio's breakfast is ready. "She stuttered but was swiftly interrupted by Natasha's voice." So? –how does that con
MY REFLECTION WHO WAS HE? ( STRANGE UNCLE)
ANTONIO'S MANSIONNatasha sauntered over to the door. Her eyes lurked across the corridor, furious as she earnestly glared for the culprit but found no one." Who dared spy on me..?", she thought to herself." I need to find who it was" She instinctively took a step about to leave when realization hit her." What are you doing, Nat?" She stuttered to herself as she paused in her steps. "This is not the time for this–you can find the spy afterwards . " She smirked, her eyes travelled back to Antonio." I'll find that out later, let me just finish off with this first and get back to the who ever it was." Her lips curved in a mischievous grin as she sauntered back to the room.Gina stood in Gisella's room, her breath kept racing rapidly as she peeped through the door. Her hands covered her lips and her knees felt numb. She looked tensed and terrified. Just when Natasha diminished into the room, she instinctively let out an inaudible sigh."Oh, God, that was so da

HOSPITALGISELLA'S WARDSasha, the nurse Natasha had plotted out Gisel's death with, quietly crept into her ward to execute the deeds. Her eyes nervously lurked around as she neared her bed." Oh, God, please forgive me for what i'm about to do." She cried and she took her stand beside Gisel's bed. "I know it's bad but I have to do this."She took out the syringe and pressed it to her right hand, about to inject her. Just then, Gisel's hand moved. She flinched, gazing up at Gisel's face only to notice her weakly twitter her eyes open." Oh, goodness– she's awake" She mumbled to herself. " I've got to be fast about this before someone else walks in." Sasha lamented in her thoughts." Desmond?" Gisel wearily voice intruded. Sasha fidgeted with a sheepish grin." Relax dear, he'll be here in no time. Let me finish checking you, first." She instinctively took her hand for the injection but was suddenly interrupted by the swang of the door whi
MY REFLECTION EVIL SOUL
ANTONIO'S MANSIONLizzy trod through the hall towards Gina's room when she heard the telephone rang from the hall. She instinctively paused in her steps as she gazed down at it for awhile, with a contemplating gaze." Should I ask Gina to attend to it since she's been incharge of that or I should just attend to it.. ? ", she thought to herself. “Yeah, I think it's right I attend to it since she'd been, kind of acting wired today.”She sighed and sauntered over towards it with a fixed gaze." Hello, this is the Antonio's Mansion. How may I help you?", she answered."This is Doctor Franklin from Family Health Hospital” A voice echoed from the other end of the phone which made got her edged on.“Is everything, alright, sir?–How is she doing” She instinctively, interrupted.“I just called to inform you that she's out of coma at the moment. You can come over to the hospital tomorrow so we can perform her final check up.” He added. Lizzy screamed with excitement."
MY REFLECTION IT'S CALLED REVENGE
HOSPITALGisella sat upright on the bed with her back relaxed and her gaze fixed in her novel she had. Her thoughts instinctively drifted off as the thought of Desmond hit her." I can't put Desmond at risk any longer." She mumbled with a furrowed brow. " I'm not able to protect myself and how am I to protect him?–I got to do something very fast about this but what?'Her thought hinted. "Think Gisel–think!" She cried, her eyes darted."Yes! " she exclaimed, her face lightened up. "I got this– I know what to do. Is better to stay away from him. That's the only way I can be sure of his saftey. And Dad?" She queried in her thoughts. "I hope I'm not too late"She stuttered. Just then, a voice interrupted from the door. " Hello, Miss Gisel!– I can see you're already awake."She instinctively looked up at the door and her lips curved in a faint smile." Yes, doctor."She answered." Good, I'm glad you're fine now." He stated with a smile. " I've alrea
MY REFLECTION WALK TO YOUR OWN GRAVE
THE ANTONIO'S MANSIONAfter about an hour drive, Natasha pulled over at the garage. She sauntered down and trod into the house without any interest of Gisel nor Gina. She left them behind in the car. Gina sighed and instinctively glanced up at Gisel who sat next to her with her hands pressed on the window of the car as she stared out through the glass. Her gaze was fixed on the house with tears in her eyes.Gina stared at her for a while; her heart felt heavy, watching her. She sighed.“Gisel, dear” She called and she slowly turned back at her, facing her in the process. Gina forced a smile as their eyes met. “Come on, dear–Let me help you. We're here now.” Gisel weakly tilted her head." Thanks, Aunty." She answered with a blank gaze. Gina hurried down and rushed to her side of the car. She swiftly opened the door and helped her down. Gisel stood in front of the door for a while as she stared at the door. Gina glanced at the door as well and back at her. She
MY REFLECTION LET'S STAY APART
A WEEK LATERNatasha strolled through the corridor with a thoughtful gaze as her mind woundered off in thought."I'm almost done with Gina." She smirked. “Now, all i need is a very good strategic way to get to Desmond–Think, Nat, think.", she muttered. Just then, a thought clicked in. Her lips curved in a satisfactory grin and her eyes sparkled with joy." I'm such a genius.” She scoffed. “ I'll call him over for dinner after school,then I'll take over the rest– Yes!, such a sharp brain I've got up there.”. She chuckled and sauntered over to her room. GRAVE YARDGisella stood by her father's grave. Her eyes fixed on it as sorrow erupted her chest. The tears she fought back, slowly drifted down her chin. She slowly crenched down as she dropped the flowers in her hands, brushing her hands over the grave." Hi, daddy” She giggled as she sniffed back her tears, a pained smiled dazzled on her face. “Your baby is here to see you, dad” She sobbed and chuc

She instinctively turned her gaze to the seat beside her as she reached for her phone. Loretta anxiously surfed through and dialed Paola's line, staring through the side mirror as she balanced her gaze between the road ahead and the mirror." Hey, Lore, what's up with you ?" Paola's voice echoed from the other end of the phone." Fine, I guess " She answered absent mindedly, still gazing at the car behind her through the mirror, wondering." Hey, girl, is everything okay? You seem so down and absent minded– Come on, tell me, what's it?" Her question spontaneously drew her full attention on her." Huh? – oh, yeah, umm, are you home?

Desmond and Lizzy stared at her as she buried herself into his arms.Antonio hugged her, comforting, "It's okay, honey. Everything is finally over.

"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."

The trailer passed with great speed without stopping and Gisella's car immediately came to a halt some meters away along the road. It was a quite street with bushes along the road. It's hardly you find people walking along the street.Gisella, Desmond and Lizzy sat in the car, panting breathless with shock spread over their faces." What was that?" Gisella stammered which brought Lizzy sweat soaked gaze on her." What was what, Gisel ? Didn't you see what happened?– We nearly had an accident." She cried." No, Aunty, i was not talking about that." She swallowed a lump of
MY REFLECTION NO ESCAPE
Desmond had been standing at the junction for the past 45minutes now but still no sign of Gisella anywhere. He gazed worriedly at the roads leading to the junction he stood, expectantly, depressed." What's keeping her? Is every alright?" He mumbled with a furrowed brow and as of on an impulse, he stuttered. " Let me call and find out what's happening?" He drew out his phone and dialed her line but it couldn't get through. He sighed with his fixed gaze, nervously on the screen as he paced around.peep....peep.....peep.....a sound from behind drew his attention. He swiftly turned to find out who it was. It was the sound of Gisella's horn; She instinctively beckoned him in. He gave a broad smile and hopped onto the car." What kept you so long, Gisella?" He immediately asked after settling in but then, he swiftly brushed it off. "Just forget it– Let's get going before the meeting starts." He assumed, turning to Lizzy who all along, stared from the back seat."Goo
