EPISODE 16; BLEW UP
I scurried into my room while shivering so vehemently, and went straight to my bedside.
Glancing around so intensively, I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Or could it be that it’s been hidden? But who will hide such?
It must be somewhere around here. Having said that, I Shrugged off that initial feeling of someone hiding it, wiped off my sweat-filled face, and continued my search but yet couldn’t find it.
This can’t be happening now! No, it can’t be! Not now! Where the fuck is that remote! I ruffled my hair and against my wish glanced under the bed and there it was on the floor.
Silly thing! I exhaled and picked it up, having a sweet smile on my face.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The remote is actually used to on, off, and control the big screen on the embankment which has the connection of all the parts of the mansion in it.
A big screen that could show even things happening under the sea cause CCTV cameras are situated in every aspect of the mansion due to who I am and what I’ve seen.
I clicked on the red button on the remote which had ‘ON’ boldly written on it but the big screen didn’t come to life.
‘What might be wrong with it?’ I tried one more time yet nothing. I opened the back of the remote, rubbed the pair of batteries and still tried but nothing came up.
I dropped the remote roughly and went to the screen itself, pressed it yet nothing happened.
I knew it wasn’t light issues cause the screen works even without electricity but then couldn’t pinpoint what.
I kept trying, ignoring the calls of Dagrin and Declan but when the screen didn’t still work I shattered it with my hands causing injury to myself but didn’t care. I went to my drawer, opened it, brought out my special laptop, and flicked it on.
I went through the connections and the sight I saw left me broken and brought me to tears.
No, it can’t be true. No!
“Mistress!” Declan yelled, barging into the room. “We have to leave now mistress please.”
I made no reaction to his words but kept watching the sight before me.
He followed my eyes to the screen and flinched at the sight.
“My goodness. How do we escape now?”
I dropped the laptop in tears after watching my many years of suffering keep crumbling before my eyes just because of one lady and my hatred for her increased rapidly.
I kept cleaning my eyes but the tears wouldn’t stop flowing and for the very first time, I saw tears in Declan’s eyes.
I went to him and rubbed off his tears. “Please don’t cry. Let me bear my pain alone. Don’t cry for me.”
“I know how you feel right now, mistress but the fact remains that we need to leave anyhow we can. We can’t die here. Never.”
I nodded my head and furrowed myself into him and we walked out.
“What’s going on, Declan?” Dagrin asked, coming closer to us. “Why do you both have tears in your eyes?”
“Forget about our tears, brother,” Declan replied. “We should be looking for a way to leave here safely not discussing.”
“But…” Dagrin wanted to say but got interrupted by a loud explosion that sounded behind us followed by gunshots.
“Get the guns brother” Declan muttered and Dagrin scurried off. “You both should get down and keep walking. We will meet up with you soon.”
“I’m not leaving you both alone. We will stay here till he comes back.”
“Don’t be stubborn, mistress. Please go.”
I shook my head and just then Dagrin came back armed in weapons. He gave two revolvers to Declan, one shotgun to me while he kept one revolver and one shotgun to himself and so did the war dawn.
We kept shooting but yet more dudes kept appearing from nowhere pushing us to the brim.
Knowing we were outnumbered and without spoken words, we took off but got shocked to see they were everywhere. Front, back, and both sides.
“How do we leave now?” My mum’s twin cried. “I don’t want to die.”
“Shh,” Dagrin whispered to her and just after that screamed out in pain.
We turned to him and tried holding him due to how he was bleeding from his arm but he pushed us away.
“You all shouldn’t bother about me. I’ll be fine” he murmured lowly. “Please keep our mistress and her step mum’s twin safe, brother. I’ll keep them off for you guys. You all should go back to her room, shift her bed. There is a hole beneath which has steps. Climb down, enter the sub there and leave, please. And also remember to save her brother. Finally don’t forget to get that witch and make her suffer.”
“No no, we can’t leave you all alone here. I’m not losing you” I cried. “How can I leave you when you just got shot. See, you’re losing so much blood. I…,”
“This is not the time to talk, mistress. Go!” He barked, cutting me off.
I couldn’t help but sob. “I can’t, I just can’t leave you here Dagrin. Can’t you see?”
He came to me, pecked my head, and hugged me. I couldn’t let him go and thought it was all over cause the gunshots suddenly stopped but a room beside us blasted.
“You all should go!”
“I trust you will survive brother. I’ll be waiting for you outside these walls. Do and come back to me” Declan whispered to him and dragged us away.
“Noo!” I screamed, struggling with him but he wouldn’t let me. He dragged us to the bedroom and shut the door.
“Grab yourself together, Snipy. You are a mafia Lord and not a kid! You can’t break down now. You have to be with me cause you have no right to die on me. OK?’
I nodded my head affirmatively in tears as we climbed down the stairs and just after we zoomed off in the sub the mansion blew up.
“Dagrin! Noo!”
