{ CAUGHT/ABDUCTED }
A maid entered the bedroom with a tray in her hands. Isabella had refused to come down from breakfast and being the nice woman Isabella was, she couldn’t resist sending her meal to her.
She closed the door with a leg as she walked further into the bedroom.
“Mrs. Castillo?” Her voice echoed around the empty room as her eyes searched around the place.
“Aaaaaaahhh!!!!” She screamed in fright, the tray falling from her hand with the plates and cups crashing into pieces. But that was the least of her concern.
Her own Madam was lying by the wall in a big pool of blood. Her head had a big hole in it and her clothes were soaked with her blood.
“Mrs. Castillo,” she whispered as her tears fell. Then, like a lunatic, she found herself screaming around the whole room.
“Help! Someone help!!” She screamed, falling to her butt. As if on cue, three guards rushed into the room and they were more than shocked to find Isabella in that condition.
“I came… And – met – her” the maid stuttered in fright. The guards didn’t pay any attention to her. Instantly, one of them carried Isabella who was still breathing faintly in his arms and walked to the door.
Just as he attempted to leave the room, Mr. Castillo appeared. The guards bowed their heads and Mr. Castillo’s gaze went to the unconscious Isabella in the guard’s arms.
“We found her unconscious in the room, we’re rushing her to the hospital right now” the guard quickly explained.
“Take her back to the room,” Mr. Castillo said and the guards were surprised. Back to her room? This woman here is dying and he asked them to take her back inside?
“She’s dying, Master. She needs to be treated right now or else she might lose her life” the guards protested.
Mr. Castillo narrowed his eyes “are you questioning me right now?” He asked.
“No, we dare not” the guards quickly spoke out. They walked back to the room and placed Isabella’s bloody body on the bed. Her blood stained the white sheet immediately.
Ivy, the maid who saw that, rushed to her feet. She ran towards them and threw a questioning gaze at them.
“Why are you still here? She’s dying! She needs to be rushed to the hospital!” Ivy screamed, crying badly. Isabella had been a great woman to her, she couldn’t afford to lose her.
“Because I said so!” Mr. Castillo appeared behind her. Ivy turned and on seeing him, she quickly went on her knees, unable to look into his eyes.
“Send for the doctor to attend to her!” Mr. Castillo ordered a guard who immediately rushed out.
“She’s not to leave this room, make sure that doesn’t happen!” Mr. Castillo instructed before leaving the room.
Immediately he was gone, Ivy fell on her butts, hugging her knees to herself. Isabella was dying but they cared less. She knew this was Freudian, the young master’s doing. Was that how much they loathe her? Just how much had she endured in their hands?
Thinking of the pains Isabella might be feeling in that condition, Ivy cried harder. Her emotions were getting the best of her and she swore, if Isabella doesn’t survive this, she’ll ki|| Freudian herself.
She doesn’t care if she dies along the way, but she’d do that just to avenge her Madam’s case if there was a need to.
But right now, her only prayer was for Isabella to survive this. She should.
She truly deserves happiness after all this.

An inpatient figure stood outside a ward, pacing around restlessly. His hair was disheveled and his face looked strained. He was worried, worried about his wife whose life was right on life. And, that of their baby’s.
To his better relief, the Doctor came out of the ward, but with a solemn look on his face. Romeo rushed to him, looking at him expectantly.
“Come sta mia moglie? {How’s my wife?}” Romeo was straight forward with his question. He needed no time in beating around the bush.
“Thankfully, you brought her here on time and we had successfully flushed the poison out of her system” The Doctor explained.
“Poi… Poison?” Romeo couldn’t even react at that moment. Rosetta was poisoned?
“And… She lost her baby in the process” The Doctor finally dropped the bad news. He had feared Romeo’s reaction when he was going to drop the news. And like he predicted, it didn’t go well.
She lost the baby. The words kept ringing in Romeo’s ears for seconds. He pursed his lips and clenched his fist into right balls. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t control himself. Within seconds, he erupted like a volcano.
His heart bleeds for his wife. This was their first child, his only first heir and it had to go just like that? He was just receiving the news for Pete’s sake!
He rushed to the nearest wall, venting his anger as he hit the wall carelessly. His hands were smeared with his blood, but he cared less. His wife!
Fûck! How was she going to take the news? Just how?!
“Boss, you’re bleeding!” The guard behind Romeo rushed to him. He was the only one with him since Romeo insisted no other guard should come along with them.
“I’m sorry you had to experience this, sir Romeo. I tried my best but…” Romeo was inside the ward before the Doctor could complete his sentence.
Romeo entered the room and met Rosetta sitting on the bed. Her face was blank, he couldn’t read her expression. But from his guess, he knew she’s aware of her miscarriage.
“Vita mia {My life}” he strolled towards her and sat beside her. That was the time he realized the tears in her eyes. $h|t! – he cursed.
“It’s okay,” he cooed as he sat beside her. He held her hands but she didn’t flinch, not even a bit. Then, her tears trickled down her cheeks.
“The baby… He’s gone” her voice barely came out as a whisper. It was his wish to have a baby and she had to ruin it with her own hands.
“I failed you,” she sobbed, moving away from his arms. Her tears fell on the sheet, soaking it badly. That act proved how much her heart bleeds to know she just had a miscarriage.
“I didn’t get to feel him. I didn’t even know what he looked like. I didn’t get to feel his bump” Rosetta’s cries grew louder.
Romeo tried to calm her down but it wasn’t working, she was making a big fuss. One which scared Romeo.
Watching her this way, an ache started deep in his stomach. He turned his face as his eyes welled up with tears. It really hurts to see her this way. It hurts to see how things ended up for them.
Seeing the tears in Romeo’s eyes, Rosetta sobbed loudly. She knew he was trying hard to pacify her but he was so hurt deep down. This was his first child, and it was all her fault.
“I should have known. I was just naive, she tried to make me h@ťě you but it didn’t work. Then she tried to ki|| my baby. I shouldn’t have eaten the food Anaya gave me!” Rosetta cried.
At the mention of Anaya, the guard stiffened. His expression changed drastically.
“Anaya! That bìtch!” Romeo growled slowly. He got to his feet and cupped Rosetta’s cheeks.
“I’ll be back, baby” with that, he left the room, leaving Rosetta in the care of the guard.
As soon as Romeo left, the guard’s phone rang in his pocket and he jerked in fright. He stared at Rosetta to find her eyes on him.
“I’ll be right back, Mrs. Castillo” he left the room swiftly, not waiting to hear her reply.
Rosetta cleaned the tears off her eyes, wrapping her hand around her stomach. Then, she mumbled some words to herself.
****
“Just like we planned, she lost the baby” Freudian heard from the spy as they talked over the phone.
“And… Sir Romeo is heading to the mansion to get Anaya. I think he found out she’s a spy” the person said over the phone. He was actually one of Romeo’s trusted guards, but Freudian actually wooed him with his money.
Then, he started working with him secretly. He was the one who paved the way for Anaya to gain access into the mansion. He was also the one who gave Romeo fake information about Anaya.
“Good. Things are working just as we planned. I’ll call Anaya to vacate the mansion and you.. leave the hospital and you know what to do” Freudian said.
“Alright, Boss” the call ended. Freudian placed a call across Anaya immediately which she picked at the third ring.
“Boss,” she called in a panicked tone.
“Leave the mansion now! I’ll arrange one of my boys who will come and pick you up. He’ll be taking you to the airport when you’re going to leave the country like we agreed”
“Okay. I’ll find my way out”
Freudian disconnected the call with a satisfied grin on his face. His plans were going really well, even more than his expectations.
“Romeo… You’re really a fool, a big one” he smirked evilly.
The door burst open and Mr. Castillo walked in angrily. Without a word, he marched towards Freudian and…
Slap!
He hit him over the face. Freudian threw a treacherous glare in his direction.
“How dare you try to ki|| your wife?!” Mr. Castillo yelled
“She’s not my wife! You know how much I loathe her!” Freudian yelled defensively.
“Even still she’s still useful! You need to provide an heir!” He yelled.
“Heir? She’s useless and will always be! Romeo’s wife is already pregnant and she? She’s just an empty barrel!” Freudian thundered violently.
“Romeo’s wife is pregnant?” Mr. Castillo was in deep shock. She’s pregnant? Does that mean everything he had worked for ended up in vain?
“But, I took care of that. I already ki||ed the bastard! And his wife is on her way here, I’m going to ki|| her too just like the way you did to his mother!!” Freudian yelled.
“You’ll rape her to death?” Mr. Castillo asked slowly.
“Yes. That’s for daring Romeo in challenging me over my right” Freudian’s eyes glowed just like the devil he was.
That moment, Mr. Castillo realized he had no control over his own son anymore.
****
Anaya packed her clothes hastily. Her luggages was ready and she rushed to carry them. She knew by now Rosetta would be dead as the poison was a strong one and Romeo would definitely come for her.
She needed to leave the mansion and travel out of the country as soon as possible.
Rushing to the door, she tried to open it to find it locked. She didn’t lock the door, so who did?
She tried again, and still it was the same thing. Her heart flew to Mercury immediately. What was happening? She needed to leave! She needs to!!
She threw the big bag in her hand to the floor and opened the door violently. To her surprise, the door opened with ease and she breathed out in relief.
She hurriedly picked the big bag and flung it over her shoulder. Then, she ran out of the room.
But then, her whole body froze when she saw him sitting on the couch with his legs and arms crossed. It was as though he was waiting for her. He looked so relaxed.
“Sir Romeo…” She stuttered, the bag dropping to the floor as her whole body felt weak.
“Leaving already?” Romeo smiled and got to his feet. He stretched his hand and a guard immediately placed a laptop on his hand.
“No. I need to throw this trash away” Anaya lied even though she knew that was fruitless.
“Trash?” Romeo smiled coolly. He got to her and placed the laptop to her front.
“Then, explain this…” Anaya looked down at the laptop and her eyes widened. It was footage of her spiking Rosetta’s food!
Wait… He knew all along? Her eyes met his to find a terrifying look on his face. She peed on her pants instantly.
“Sir Romeo…” She whispered. Before she knew what was happening, she felt a sudden pain on her legs and she fell to the floor, unable to move.
Romeo had shot her legs with a gun!
“Tie her up and then lock her in the dark room. Make sure she doesn’t escape or your head will pay for it!” Romeo thr_@tened as they tied the helpless Anaya up. She was groaning in pain as blood oozed out of her legs without any hindrance.

Rosetta was staring up at the ceiling when the door opened. A Doctor in a mask entered and walked to her.
“Who are you?” Rosetta asked, sitting up.
“I’m here to attend to you,” Rosetta recognized that voice instantly. The guard’s!
“I know how you feel right now, but you need to sleep. You can’t keep being sad forever” he kept saying. He brought out a syringe and walked towards her, bending to her level.
Rosetta just sat still and let him injected her, then a satisfied smile escaped his lips.
“Now, go to sleep” he shushed and like he muttered, Rosetta closed her eyes and lost consciousness immediately.
But before she did, she didn’t fail to see him smiling wickedly at her.
Fool! – she thought.
