CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT Amidst the stillness in the hall was rising tension that steamed up into the atmosphere, even the air could feel it. “I can’t believe this! He could Rowen embarrass me that way?” Sandra said aloud pacing from one end to the other. Her fist clutched together in a tightened grip. She was fuming and each step she took increased the anger inside of her. “Sandra! Sandra!” The female voice called out from the other room, but Sandra was too annoyed to respond. Lady Brooks rushed into the room almost tripping to the floor with her smartphone in her right hand. “Sandra!” “Not now mum! Not now.” Sandra said to her mother with an obvious tune that pointed out that she wasn’t in the mood to listen to whatever she had to say. “You should see this! This is really bad!” Lady Brooks said approaching her daughter gradually. “What is it mum?” Sandra asked, suddenly developing some interest to what her mother came to speak to her about. “This!” Lady Brooks said and placed

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN “Thank you for you time, I will go now.” Rowen said, then he turned and made his way towards the exit with the burden of disappointment weighing him down gradually. Rowen knocked on the door and one of the guards opened it to let him out. Taking in enough air, he exhaled sharply as he took the first step out of the room through the large wooden door.As she looked at him going out, Scarlett was pained that she couldn’t meet up with her own end of the bargain. She looked at her mother, but her eyes were closed and she didn’t look like she was going to open them anytime soon. “This is not right Dad! Not right at all.” “Maybe when you know what plans I have you would appreciate me.” Mr. Gomez said but by the time he had finished talking, Scarlett had already stormed out of the room. “Come back Scarlett! Why do you bother yourself so much.” Mr. Gomez called out to his daughter but she was already out of the room and far from sight. “Wait Rowen! Please wait I beg

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX “Please, Daddy. I made a promise! Don’t make me look like a fool.” Scarlett pleaded with her father but the look on the man’s face clearly indicated that he was not going to agree to her request. “If he thinks he deserves anything other than doing his job apart from the money which I was willing to give to him, then I don’t think that is possible.” Mr. Gomez barked not eager to go back on his decision. Scarlett turned her gaze towards Rowen and seeing the disappointment glaring on his face made her heart sink. Not only was she sad that she wasn’t going to be keeping her promise, but she was also sad that she could lose her friendship with him. “Mum? Say something.” Scarlett turned to her mom in search of support but the woman only hissed and rolled her eyes at Rowen. “Please, Dad. Just do this for me and I promise, I won’t bother you for any other favor.” Mr. Gomez was silent and from his stillness, one would really think he didn’t hear the words spoken by his

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE “Thank you!” He said surprisingly to the amazement of Rowen who responded with a smile. Then he extended his hand to the bedspread and scooped some of the blood with his fingers. With his fingers rubbing hard on the blood, he observed the blood and sighed in satisfaction. “Silas? Silas are you alright?” Clara asked, straining from her bed to look at her son who seemed rather quiet and didn’t move. “Yeah, I am fine,” Silas responded without recognizing the voice that had spoken to him. Gradually, he turned to see who it was as the voice sounded faint but familiar. “Mum? What is going on here? Scarlett? Dad?” He said blinking his eyes gradually as a result of the blurry vision he had. “Rest son, everything will be explained to you later.” Mr. Gomez said to his son still holding on to Silvia’s hand tenderly caressing it. “Oh, Rowen! Thank you very much! I am super grateful, my family and I would forever be indebted to you!” Scarlett said as she got up and embrac

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR Silvia opened her eyes, then she groaned slowly and placed her left hand on her head, withdrawing it from her father’s grip. “My head. It bangs so hard. What happened, Daddy?” Silvia asked still holding on to her head. She closed her eyes and squeezed her face to the pain she felt. “I am sure you will be fine Silvia. It must be a natural reaction to the herbs.” Scarlett said to her sister still holding on to her mother’s hands. “Silvia? She was sick too?” Clara asked suddenly realizing that it was Silvia who lay next to her.“Yes, Mum, even Silas,” Scarlett said in a low and regrettable tune. “What is really happening?” Clara said adjusting herself to look at Silas seeing that Scarlett had turned her gaze towards him. “Ah! My head. The pain is too much. I can’t bear it!” Silvia screamed as her head banged so hard that she fell back to the bed. “Do something! Can’t you see that she is in pain!” Clara said aloud glaring at Rowen in clear anger. “Easy mum! You

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE “Very well, I hope we have an understanding that once I am done, I get what we bargained for.” “Definitely! That won’t be a problem.” Mr. Gomez replied still not aware of what was involved. He looked at Scarlett, but she was all over her mother, looking to see if she needed anything. Rowen sighed slowly, then he picked up the mortar and headed over to Silvia in a slow but steady voice. As he moved, gradually Mr. Gomez changed his attention to his daughter. Rowen also took a spoonful of the substance in the mortar, and just as he had done to Clara, he applied some on Silvia’s nostrils and also in her mouth, then he stood up and went towards Silas. He also did the same to him, then he went back to the table where his properties were and kept the mortar with the instrument that looked like forceps on the table. Carefully, he unfolded the white napkin to reveal the area which he had used to wipe the blood that came out from Clara’s ears. As he gazed upon it, his
