" Come in.....", Antonio called from the office ,busily attending to some documents.
"Sir.....bad news....", said Gideon nervously, approaching Antonio.
" What is it? Tell me, what happened. "
" The main quarters where all the products are kept caught fire...."
" What.....? How come...? I mean what happened..... "
" I don't know sir....but we couldn't retrieve anything from there..... "
" God....this can't be happening.... "
He exclaimed, downcasted and rushed pass Gideon.

INFIRMARY
Gisella and Desmond sat on the bed, chatting and laughing heartedly. She suddenly glanced at her phone.
" Gosh....I have to leave now.....its past closing time...." she announced and sprung from the bed.
" hey...wait, what's the rush for....."
" I've got to go home now or my stepmother will kill me....." uttered Gisella , approaching the door.
" Can I walk you home.....?"Desmond exclaimed behind her.
She paused in her steps, surprised.
" Are you serious?", asked Gisella, facing him.
" yeah...why are you so surprised."
"Oh...nothing... never mind. Let's go then...."
He drew closer and held her hand, glancing at her. They both smiled and left .
*******************
Loretta stood at the entrance , chatting with her friends when she saw Gisella and Desmond, walking out of the infirmary hand in hand, laughing.
She starred at them angrily, gnashing her teeth.
" I so hate you, Gisella. Can't believe because of you, Desmond, threatened me....Loretta. Both of you will pay dearly for that....I promise you."
She angrily stormed off.
" Hey.....what is that for....wait for us....", Paola and Bianca shouted, rushing after her.
***********************
Natasha stood infront of her room, with a satisfactory smile.
" Oh...( chuckles faintly), poor Antonio, let see how you escape your doom." stated Natasha.
Just then, Gina hastily walked past her, heading towards the Kitchen.
" Gina.....", Natasha called behind her.
" Yes..ma'am...."
She turned and walked back to Natasha who was still at the door.
" You called...."
" yeah...is Gisella and Antonio back? "
" No, ma'am...."
" What says the time..."
" 5: 20pm, ma'am..."
" And Gisel is still not back from school? How is this possible? what could she be doing in that her school...."
She paused for a moment, thinking.
" Is dinner ready....? ", she spoke out.
" Almost ....."
" Okay.....you can go...."
Gina bowed and left.
*************************
AN HOUR LATER
" Gina....please set the table for dinner....I'm going to the grocery shop for some food stuff,there is none in the house....."
Lizzy called from the door and dashed out.
" Okay....", she shouted behind her.
" Agnes...please help me set the table, Mr. Antonio will be in soon"
" But...Gina, I need to get the washrooms done before night..."
" you can do that after this...please.. "
She walked reluctantly towards Gina. Gina quickly pulled her.
" Be fast....what is this...gosh...."
All along, Natasha stood at the top of the stairs with a mini bottle in her hands, watching them.
" What is taking these girls so long to finish..."said Natasha faintly.
" Good...everything is set now..., you can go back to your work.",stated Gina to Agnes.
" alright.... "
Agnes hastily left to the washroom and Gina to the compound to water the flowers.
" Finally....", exclaimed Natasha, rushing down to the table.
She opened the bottle in his hand and dropped some of its content in Antonio's food.
" I will slowly get rid of you Antonio and everything of yours for what you did to me in the past"
She smirked and bolted back to her room.
********************
OUTSIDE THE MANSION
Natasha stood by the window in her room, gazing out of the window but suddenly spotted something unpleasant to her.
Gisella and Desmond paused at the entrance of the house, smiling.
"This is my house....", said Gisella with a smile.
" Such a nice place you have...."
She smiled, sheepishly.
" Thank you..."
" Hope I can visit at times...."
"Uhm....."
She swiftly searched around the house.
**************
"What is this that am seeing? This can't be happening... She must never be happy or have friends especially male friend. Never...I won't allow this to happen", Natasha vowed from the window, gazing at them.
She suddenly saw Gisella looking over the window.
" Gosh....she mustn't see me"
she quickly hid herself.
******************
" what are you looking for and why are you searching around nervously.... ", Desmond queried, worriedly.
" Uhmmm.....nothing but you can't visit. Just call me when you want to come over and I will meet you, okay...?"
" alright..... as you wish...."
" Thanks...and thank you for walking me home"
" Don't mention....what are friends for..?"
" okay...I've got to go now...see you later."
" okay....bye..."
" bye"
She waved at him and dashed into the house.
****************
Natasha stood in front of Gisella's room, angry. Gisella got to the top and paused in her steps at the sight of Natasha.
"Who was he...?", asked Natasha, approaching her.
" Who was who...I don't understand ", she asked, confused.
" who was that guy you were talking to at the gate....? "
" I wasn't talking to anyone...please am really tired and got a lot of assignments to do so allow me"
She uttered, walking pass her.
"Hey...young lady....stop over there. ( slaps Gisel) How dare you walk away while I was talking to you...oh...or you think I didn't see you guys. For your information, I did and I want you to stop any relationship you have with him because I will never, ever allow you to be happy. I promise you that...."
Natasha shouted angrily and left to her room. Gisella leaned on the door crying.

MY REFLECTION REWARD OF EVIL
ON THE ROADLoretta drove along the road, looking all distressed. A white cab followed keenly behind her, keeping a close watch on her. She checked the seat beside her and took her phone. She anxiously surfed through and dialed Paola's line, staring through the side 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, 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 is it?"" Huh? oh, yeah, umm, are you home? I need to talk to you ", she answered." Yeah, I'm home but can you tell me what is going on now?

( withdraws her from his arms and held her cheeks with his hands) I'm so sorry for not listening to you, dear. I'm really sorry for everything, baby(sobs).Gisella wiped his tears and hugged him, tightly with a faint smile, crying." It's okay, dad. I've already forgiven you for everything and I'm so sorry for not saving you(sobs). Forgive me dad, forgive me for returning so late from the hospital ".Antonio kissed her forehead and hugged her again, brushing his hand through her hair." It's okay, honey, it's okay.
