Chapter 30
"Judy, is the serum finished or not?" Roxo frowned at the screen of his mobile.
Judy looked nervous. She preferred talking to Mr. Graf, the suave businessman in who's presence the expedition didn't seem illegal but rather a controlled operation that didn't consist of her being kidnapped or testing people involuntarily.
"I asked a question," Roxo smiled and Taylor Swift's Blank Space could be heard playing somewhere in the background.
"Its nearly done," Judy fidgeted in the video-chat.
Roxo growled, "I don't want to hear the word 'nearly', you dunce. Tonight," his voice became soft, "tonight the serum should leave the lab with Mr. Graf or your blonde little son and his pregnant wife dies."
Judy was shouting, "No, please, no-" when Roxo cut the phone.
"Well, that's done," Roxo was now speaking Portuguese. "And now what about you, traitor?"
Helen looked at Roxo wordlessly.
Roxo walked to her and she was the first who didn't flinch before him. He was impressed but he didn't like losing trust, a commodity he never placed on many. "You were supposed to report to me about Hiwatari and Co.!"
"I changed my mind," she replied calmly.
"And for what? For a painful death, amor," he tutted, "because you won't be able to protect your new friends. Mr. Graf has been told about their whereabouts and whatever he has in mind will happen regardless of your changed mind."
"You had spies on me!" Helen looked shocked.
Roxo walked away, "Only because you didn't report back."
"Listen, we have to stop this. I started bad but I don't want to end bad," Helen said.
"Oh you'll end good alright," Roxo spat as Bella, his pet snake slithered out of his stick towards Helen. The music system's volume only increased after that, drowning the screams.
"Bella and me don't like conscience in my people," Roxo whispered.
Countess Keira or Keira as she was now called by people who knew of her stint in prison walked purposefully to the Kons' apartment. She rang the bell and as the door opened prepared a fabulous smile on her flawless face.
"Hello, Mrs. Mariah Kon. I'm the new nanny."
"Oh, you're here for Ella," Mariah smiled at the red-head nanny. She liked the look of the girl the agency had sent this time. Simple, freckled and even wore sensible clothes. It looked like she had found the perfect nanny for her daughter after all. "Do come in, uh-"
"Penny Klarke," Keira smiled again.
"Nice to meet you, Penny," Mariah gestured inside the house. "I have a fashion tour coming up and though my husband, Ray, thinks he can manage very well I know he won't. Men, you know."
Keira didn't reply anything apart from convenient "hmms" now and then. She didn't need to. Mariah was capable of handling the conversation single-handedly. "Here, look at my baby. Say hello to Nanny Penny, Ella. Isn't she cute, Penny?"
"Very," Keira agreed.
"So, you mean to say Giselle just forgave you like that?" Bryan asked.
"Yeah, man," Ian smirked. "She totally couldn't resist my sexy body."
"Oh shut up, Ian," Tala rolled his eyes. "I saw you living in her garden, okay? Complete with this really obnoxious, haywire beard, tears rolling down your cheeks and sonnets spouting out of your mouth and last time I saw Giselle was threatening to throw her hairbrush at you if you wouldn't leave."
Ian grinned nervously, "You saw that."
"I was just roaming around the town and saw your pathetic ass unfortunately," Tala shrugged.
Bryan asked, "So, she still hates you?"
"I think its come down profound dislike," Ian smiled dreamily, "because she agreed to take me on a date."
"You mean she was so irritated that she agreed hoping that you would just go away," Tala bit back.
"What's up, guys?" Hina and Jennifer walked in on the guys' meeting.
Ian replied darkly, "Tala is pouring cold water over all my sunny hope."
"Aww," Jennifer gave Tala an angry look. "Just ignore Mr. Frost here and tell me what happened with Giselle."
Oh wow so much happening in this chapter.
Earlier when I finished researching "Gothic Novel" I thought I would update finally and since its been a long time I was like, "I'll update two chapters in a go" but the second I finished the first chapter I realised I couldn't stall any longer for you amazing people and voila! Here it is or rather was :)
Ignore my life rant within the stars if you wanna
**So I had a college fest and if for some reason you end up being a part of it you lose three weeks of your life just like. You have to find sponsors, decide events, promote, manage an fb page (or find someone to manage it since, as you must know, I'm not good at updating fb pages) and survive general chaos. Anyway, the fest is finally done. People said I looked pretty (Yay!) and I won a prize for creative writing (Yay!). Oh and remember how last time I was working on this Romantic Poetry project. I got a great grade on it (Yay!).
The sad part of life has been Zayn, my love, leaving One Direction to become a normal guy. I'll miss you, Zayn. I'll support you no matter what :'( And my favourite team got kicked out of the World Cup 15 . Yes, not a good week for a fangirl.**
And now HOW ARE YOU? WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING? DID YOU FIND ALIENS OR LOVE OR A SECRET MAP? Tell me, I feel so cut off from the world :'(
I miss you guys.
A huge thank you to my homies: ss ( ahahaha your review was so so hilarious. The Max part XD I knew you would enjoy that. And yayyyy I'm so happy you liked the DiKai moments. I had a great time writing it. I think I'm finally getting the hang of writing rom-scenes. AND you should be happy. I think I wrote this within two hours of your asking me to. WOW I am such an amazing bff. LOL SELF-APPRECIATION TO THE MAX oooh Max hahaha :P ILY. Hope you have a great time reading this. This time Spencer sends his love and best wishes :) RR!), Phoebe Kate (You are so right! Like I never could imagine Kai, the bey-character, laughing. That was impossible but I think somehow Kai has now changed from that bey-character into an MM character. I don't know if I make sense but what I mean to say is that Kai has grown as a character. Haha your feeling...I would love to be cool and give a non-committal reply but you're right! OHMYGOD to think I'm a role model candidate. Wow I feel happy, proud and ooh nervous because I can't even keep my room clean or find my wallet but jokes aside thank you so much. You're amazing. ILY. RR!), gizmo5225, SMRA (Hey, long time! Glad you were feeling well. A good night's sleep always helps. Yes, yes, I know. I can never write serious for long and so all well-thought arguments become comic. Its as if this story has a life of its own and that life seems to be comic. Glad you had a great time reading it. Yayyy! Yup you always make a writer happy with your review. Thanks! I did think ahead with this story. Yeah, yeah ignore :P I do give hints though. Wow I sound so cool and mysterious right now :) Thank you sooo much for reading Nostalgia. RR!), indraniFOREVER.
You all are amazing. ILYALL!
Please, please leave a REVIEW so that I come to know what you thought of this tumultuous chappie and what your guesses and ideas are.
Maybe check out short story Last Breaths on Wattpad? ONLY after reviewing this please :)
oh and if I sound grumpy anywhere it doesn't mean I'm grumpy it just means I had to type everything all over again :"( This better get posted now or I'll breakdown. Sorry for mistakes/typos/freudian slips.
