FEMALE IN DISGUISE : CHAPTER 61 – 70
By Naomi Cindy B.
Adeline’s mouth widened, and her eyes joined the exercise when Madden hit Poe’s head on the second segment.
Her blood splashed on Madden’s face, staining his hand with colour.
The sound of glasses crashing rented the room as he broke the third and fourth one with her head again.
Poe’s blood formed a pool at her feet, and the sound of her cries are becoming muffled and low as he broke the fifth and sixth one with her head.
His face is devoid of any inhibition right now, and it’s stained with more blood, making him look like a vampire hunting for blood.
He looks like a beast experiencing bloodlust, and the lust is nowhere near satisfied.
He looked back at Adeline who’s staring at the scene speechlessly, and when their eyes met, she could swear that she saw the devil inside his eyes.
Face-to-face. For real.
She stood still, glancing at his stained hand, stained face, stained shoes, broken mirrors, Poe’s bloody face and clothes, her bloody head!
She’s gonna die.
Madden broke their eye contact and finished the breaking ritual, slamming Poe’s head on the remaining two segments.
Poe couldn’t even cry anymore, there’s barely any life in her as Madden dragged her out of the room.
Adeline quickly wrapped her chest bandage and wore the provided clothes, then she rushed out of the manor to meet Madden outside.
He’s standing at the mountain edge right now, his blood-stained face freezing in the cold morning air.
Adeline couldn’t blink as she stared at him, realizing what he’s about to do.
She was too stunned, too awed to speak till Madden really did what she suspected.
He let go of Poe’s body, and it rolled down the mountain.
Adeline froze cos Madden turned around and started walking back into the manor.
“You’ll start work with Igor tomorrow, and like I said, you don’t have a choice” he said as he walked past her.
She quickly grabbed his arm, holding on to it as she blocked him in the front.
“No. Please. Don’t send me to Igor” she shook her head.
“I’m not going to work for him”
Madden looked down at the arm she’s holding, and she slowly let it go.
“There’s a plan. You only have to play along during the trip tomorrow” he said, his bloody face making his aura more sinister, and his voice darker.
“I’ll do anything, but then my hair… I need an haircut and I don’t know any saloon outside. I don’t want to ask Loud or Jinx, to avoid suspicions” she said.
“Drive out of the compound at 6, stop the car at the base of a teak tree one kilometer away from the gate” he replied curtly and entered the manor, shutting the door heavily.
Adeline stared at the door for what looks like forever before remembering Poe.
She quickly ran down the mountain, and at the same time, she saw Loud and Jinx coming.
“Michael!” Jinx gasped in shock.
“Fûck! He’s alive!” Loud’s face lit up as he rushed to her.
Adeline already widened her arms cos it’s sure he’s gonna hug her, and he really did.
Loud gathered her in a tight hug, almost snatching her breaths.
“I’m glad you made it! How did it happen? We were on our way to go beg Death on your behalf again” He said when he finally broke it.
“Poe injected me with a poison at the basement, but Master saved me. He brought me to the clinic and treated me, then he brought me here to heal properly” Adeline explained.
“So Death broke into Igor’s clinic last night because of you?” Loud said surprisingly.
“And Poe? Darn, I wonder what got into her these days” Jinx muttered, but then they heard a faint groan from the opposite side of where they’re standing.
