Chapter 39: Poisoned

Third Person POV

Samantha had sent message across to Millicent of her intended visit and Millicent had been expecting her. She came and a maid was sent to call her, but there was no response. The maid, opened the door and looked in but could not see anyone and went downstairs.

'She isn't in her room and I don't know where she has gone to', she told Samantha. 'But she must be close by because I saw her go upstairs with Cathania'.

'With Cathania?' Samantha asked unbelievingly.

The maid nodded. But before she could say more, Christopher came barging in, clutching his chest and panting.

'Where's Millicent?' She's in trouble. I can feel it here', he said in a hurried voice, indicating his chest, which he had been clutching.

Samantha had also sensed that something was not right especially when she heard that Millicent had gone upstairs with Cathania.

'Where's Millicent?' Sylvester who hurried in said, out of breath. 'I need to see Millicent, now!'

No one answered as they all rushed upstair
