Chapter 48: "I am watching you".
In the evening....
"You are welcome ma. These are the new products we just got in our store, you can check them out". The female attendant said to Cylene.
"Aright then". She replied briefly.
The female attendant bowed and left her. Cylene looked around the store, she wanted to get a high-quality make-up kits.
She wanted to change some certain things in her room, those fashion equipments she had at home no longer seem useful to her anymore.
"Oww, here you are". She spotted the products she was looking.
As she was about touching the product, her phone rang...."Hello".
"How have you been Cylene?" The strange low voice said.
"Ohh it you! Why do you keep calling me with a private number? When are you coming back?" She asked with a pouting mouth.
"Soon! I could see you're doing very fine, how you could make that girl become a dead person". He laughed hysterically.
Cylene's jaw dropped, she was not really surprised that he knew of it. "How sure are you that I did it?" She said smiling.
"You? How would I not know what you are capable of doing? Hahahaha". He laughed slowly with a twist of word.
"I know what you can do, let's not beat around the bush". He added.
"Why the call this time? You are back?" Cylene dropped the basket in her hand on the floor, she was curious to know if he was around already.
"Not yet! You don't need to worry about that". He smiled.
His demeanor changed instantly. "Since you are ready to pay me back, I want you to leave City B today".
It sounded like a joke to Cylene, she didn't know whether to laugh or shout. "Why? Just answer why?" She calmly said to him.
"That's the first assignment. Leave City B today and if you fail to follow my order, you might not believe what will befall you, I am watching you". He said and cut the call.
The surprised woman stood at the same spot, she was flabbergasted to hear what he had just said.
What would she do? She has Presch to take care of.
How would she leave her to bare the pregnancy stage alone? As her mother, she was meant to stay with her and take good care of her.
Cylene thought of everything in a go, she was absent minded until that same female attendant called out to her.
"Ma'am, is anything the problem?" She said with clarity.
"I am alright, thanks". She smiled silently and left the store.
She remembered his last statements, she was scared because she knew who he was and what he could do.
.......
"Aria! How have you been dear?" Beauty walked in silently, avoiding to disturb Flora.
"Sis! When did you come in?" She smiled at Beauty.
"Just now dear, how have you been? I can see you are really taking care of your sister-in-law". She smiled back sadly as she watched Flora on the bed.
Aria sighed sadly, she was cleaning Flora's body when Beauty came in. "I hope she wakes up soon".
"She would, I trust my bestie". Beauty held Flora's hand and sat beside her.
"Where are your brothers?" She asked as she looked at her face.
"They said they needed to stop by somewhere, so I'll be here till Big brother comes back". Aria explained.
"Alright then, I should have come to stay with her since, but I needed to settle somethings at the office. I should be chanced soon". She said apologetically.
"It fine sis, I understand you. I guess Big brother will be sleeping here unti she gets better".
"That's good". Beauty watched Flora's cold eyes, she happened to noticed some movement from her eyes, she strongly believed she would be waking up soon.
........
Night.....
Cylene got home late at night, she had branched Presch's place to briefly check up on her. She bought a lot of things along for her, the daughter was really happy and appreciated her.
"Welcome madam". One of her maid greeted her.
Cylene nodded in response, her mind still filled with the order she had gotten. How would she? This night? Today?
She needs to leave today, God!!!!
Cylene quickly went upstairs, packed few things into her traveling box and rushed down to the living room.
She didn't even have the chance to take a shower or change her cloth. The servants watched her acting weird, as she was about moving outside to her car, one of them called her back.
"Madam, you got a pacel this afternoon". She quickly gave her.
"Hope nobody has opened this? Moreover, I'll be back in few days or few months, but you don't need to worry, I'll send Presch to you, to communicate with you guys".
She wore her dark sunglass as she finished speaking.
"No ma". The servants answered hurriedly.
Cylene looked at her from head to toe. "Take care". She walked into her car with the pracel and drove off.
As she was driving, a message popped up on her phone, it was an address sent by the stranger.
She read it and went through the commanded route.
.........
"Such a sleeping beauty". Maxson shook his head as he came and saw Aria sleeping. She rested her head on the bed while sitted on the foamy chair.
Beauty had just left for home before the two brothers came back to the hospital.
"Take her home to your place, she won't be able to stay alone at my place. Morever, don't inform mum or dad yet". Scott warned his brother.
"Sure bro".
"Hey! Sleeping beauty, let's head home". Maxson carried Aria in a princess style, he smiled as he saw her pouting lips.
"Let me be, you wicked fool. If I hadn't beg you that day, you would have left me all alone, but, I am already smitten by your cute handsome face". She said silently, sprouting nonsense.
"Big bro, is she seeing someone already?" Maxson asked Scott.
"How would I know that? But who is that bastard stepping on my sis? Find out before tomorrow!" Scott ordered coldly.
"Sure bro, I'm good at that". He smiled brightly as he carried her out.
........
Beauty went to a food canteen close by to the hospital to order a take out, she rarely eats on time these days. Different worries, emotions and circumstances colliding with her. Her only best friend whom she loved the most isn't here to eat with her like they used to do.
She reminsced the past with Flora, where they would talk and gist, where they would express each other's pain and concerns, share each other's joy and wishes.
The memories flooded gradually as she eats the noodles before her. "What's the point of taking it home to eat when there's no one to share with". She said blankly to herself.
"Grhhh....grhhhhh". Her phone vibrated, she looked at it and saw Roy on the screen.
"Hello".
"Babe, where are you? Let me come and pick you up". He said confidently.
"Alright. I am near the Silver hospital, the food canteen near it". She said.
"Alright, I'll be on my way". He said and cut the call.
