CHAPTER FIVE
Gabriela POV
“Violet!”
I stood up and ran and hugged her. I looked back and saw her brother standing not far away with his arms crossed.
We broke the hug and I said…
“I’m so glad you came! I missed you”
She was trying hard not to cry. I held her shoulders and said…
” hey don’t you dare cry, okay? I hate it when they pity me! I’m fine I assure you”
She nodded and wiped away her tears before saying…
“I missed you Gaby”
“Me too bestie”
I looked back at his brother and said with a smile…
“Hi Sebastian!!”
He nodded with a smile, Still staring at us. We sat down and we began discussing like before.
“Your time is over”
I looked at the police woman before returning my gaze at Violet.
“I’ll be leaving Violet! Goodbye!!”
We briefly hugged each other and I waved goodbye at Sebastian before walking away…..
I entered my cell and I met Eleanor and Beatrix playing cards. I sat down in between them and looked keenly at how the game was proceeding….
Beatrix then spoke….
“So how did the visit go?”
“Well it was good but mostly bad, can’t believe my own parents don’t want to see me. They even disowned me..”
She patted my back and said…
“Sorry for that baby, but that’s how this kind of life is. It’s in this kind of situation that you’ll know those who are there for you”
I nodded with a sad smile.
Eleanor then spoke…
“So what should we discuss on?”
Beatrix said with a smirk…
“How about we discuss about sex. So with who was your first time?”
I blushed and said…
“Um I haven’t done that before”
That topic suddenly reminded me of Jayden but I shrug that feeling away. Beatrix spoke again, seems like she’s the talkative person….
“Oh my gosh, our newbie here is still a v. Don’t worry you’ll find your prince charming”
I arched a brow at her and said…
“Are you serious? I’ve been sentenced for life imprisonment so there’s no way that’s gonna happen besides I don’t do love again. Love always hurts
They laughed and said…
“Welcome to the heart broken group. Your subscription card please?”
I laughed at their silliness. They’re always goofing around even during serious moment…”
Eleanor then spoke….
“Come on let’s go its work time.”
We walked out of the cell room and went to do our chores…
THE TWINS: Chapter 1 – 10
TWO WEEKS LATER
These days have been manageable for me. With Beatrix and Eleanor, life is less boring here…
I’ve been receiving visits from only Violet and his brother, the others well I think they just forgot about me.
“Come on Gaby, you can do it!!”
“I’m doing it okay?”
Presently we were at the prison compound, doing work out. I was being challenged to do 20 abs workout.
“Come on Gaby, remaining 5 more and you win!”
” 15..16..17..18..19..20!”
I fell on the ground and began catching my breath…
“You guys are really bru.tal!”
Eleanor spoke while helping me get up…
“Its for your own good. You have to toughen up in order to survive here.”
I nodded with a smile…. Then I saw Michelle walking towards us with an evil smile.
“You come here and wipe my shoes, you fix my hair it’s all mess up, you give me your hairpin, I like the color”
She kept ordering everybody till she reached where I was standing. She came and stood in front of me and said…
“And you blondy, I want you to wash my feet, now”
I stood there not knowing what to say, I don’t want to create any enemies.
Suddenly she pushed me down and I landed on my butt.
“Are you deaf or what, I asked you to wash my feet”
I stood up while wincing. I wanted to comply and wash her feet but now I changed my mind.
“I won’t wash your feet, you aren’t God or something”
She became angry and grabbed my hair roughly before saying…
“What did you just say, I asked you to wash my feet and you dare refuse. I’m the boss around here. Do you know what I can do to you”
“Kill me all you want but I’ll never comply. I’m not your puppet and I’ll never be”
She punched my stomach very hard that I knelt on the floor while holding my stomach. She grabbed my hair very harshly that I couldn’t help but cry…
I struggled to get out of her grip but it was too hard. I bit her hand and she let go.
“How dare you!”
She gave me a thunderous slap. I looked at my left and I saw some girls holding Beatrix and Eleanor in place.
I looked back at Michelle with a murderous glare, then stood up and gave her a punch.
She smiled and said…
“You want a fight huh then you get it!”
She rolled her sleeves up and launched at me. She punched me, kicked me. I dodged some but receive most of them.
I got angry and landed her a blow on her pretty face, she’s really beautiful though…
I gave her a punch in the stomach and tackled her. She fell down then I came on top of her and I gave her thunderous punches till her face was barely recognizable….
I stood up and glared at those who were holding Beatrix and Eleanor.
“Let them go or receive the same treatment”
They immediately leg them go. I walked away and they followed me. Eleanor held my hand and said…
“Oh gosh,,, look at your pretty face it’s all bruised. Come let’s get you to the infirmary”
They held my hand and walked away with me to the infirmary.
When my wounds were bandaged and treated, we walked to our room.
I laid down carefully and exhaled loudly. Beatrix now began talking…
“Its your second week being here and look you’re already creating enemies everywhere. Oh God, I’m really scared of what Michelle will do to you. She’s really dangerous. I heard she stabbed a person till death because the person made fun of her short hair”
“Calm down Trixie, you’re going to give me headache just by talking like that!”
I closed my eyes before saying…
“By the way does anyone know why she’s locked up here?”
Eleanor climbed on top of her bed before saying…
“I heard that the reason why she’s here is because she killed the fiancé of the man she loved”
I scoffed and said…
“That woman wasn’t supposed to be sent to prison, she was supposed to be sent to an asylum”
I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep….

NEXT DAY- AFTERNOON
“Ouch, go easy okay? It hurts!!”
I was on my bed and one of our friends, Jade was drawing a tattoo on my lower belly. It hurts a little but I asked for it.
“Ouch, please go easy. It hurts”
Eleanor said….
“You asked for it right, now what are you yamming about”
“You girls have a tattoo. I want to have mine too”
Finally it was done. I stood up and looked at a small mirror hanging on the wall. It was really pretty but it stings alot. It was a red rose.
“Thanks Jade”
She smiled and said….
“Anytime blondy!!”
One of the guards came and said….
“You have a visitor miss McRae”
I looked at the girls and said….
“Have to get going. When I’ll be back, we’ll begin with our training!”
I walked out of the cell room and pocketed my hands before heading to the visitor’s room
I reached there hoping to see Violet but to my surprise, it was only Sebastian.
“Good morning Sebastian”
“Morning Gabriela. Violet is out of town and she will be back in two weeks, while she’s away she asked me to check up on you”
I smiled and said…
“I’m fine Sebastian no need to be frequently checking up on me. I’m adapting to this place”
He lifted his hands up and a police woman entered. He then spoke….
“Please may I have a little walk with miss McRae round the prison compound?”
She nodded, probably because of his status. Who would dare refuse the CEO of S corporation, including the fact that he’s devilishly handsome….
He looked back at me and said….
“Come on miss Gabriela let’s go”
We stood up and I led the way to the prison compound. When we arrived there all eyes were on us, mostly him. I looked at him and he seems unfazed with the stares he received…
We stopped walking and then I turned up at him, he was really tall though. He then spoke…
“So do you mind sharing with me what happened on that day?”
I inhaled deeply before I began narrating all what happen during that day.
When I finished narrating, he took a step closer to me with his gaze burning on my face. I subconsciously took a step back…
He then raised his hands and I winced as I felt his hand on my face. I opened back my eyes and I noticed he was wiping off the tears in my eyes. I didnt even notice I was crying while narrating. He then spoke…
“I’m sorry you have to go through all this, Gabriela. And also I believe you, you’re innocent and I’ll do everything in my power to clear your name”
“Thanks Sebastian, I’ll forever be grateful if you do so”
He leaned towards me and I froze as I felt his hot breath on my ear. He said…
“And also I don’t bite, I can be ruthless when you have me as enemy but I can also be as harmless as a feather. So stop being scared of me”
He stepped away from me before saying…
“I’ll leave you now. Goodbye Gabriela”
I simply nodded and he walked away. Immediately he was out of site, I exhaled loudly. That was too forward and direct…
I turned and wow, I saw a huge crowd of people in front of me. They began firing me with questions like…
*What’s his name?
*Is he single?
*Is he your boyfriend?
*Can you introduce him to me?
What is wrong with women and handsome men? I made a way and quickly ran to my cell room.
As soon as I stepped foot in my cell room, the girls fired question at me…
“Who was that dripping handsome dude who visited you?”
I exhaled and pinched the skin between my brow and said
“He’s just my best friend’s older brother. What’s wrong with you guys, not like he’s that handsome or something…”
Jade grabbed my collar and said…
“Are you out of your mind, that dude is dripping handsome, definitely the most handsome man I’ve met”
Well that’s right he is handsome but seriously they’re exaggerating. I spoke back…
“Okay, okay, I agree with you, now if you’ll excuse me I have to go and take my bath”
With that said, I picked up my towel and walked out heading to the bathroom. I entered the bathroom and luckily no one was there. I hate having my bath with other people.
I placed my towel on a stool and I began unbuttoning my my shirt.
As made to unbutton the fourth button, I jumped as I saw the reflection of Michelle standing behind me with a smile playing on her lips…
“What do you want?”
She smiled before answering…
“I promised you I’ll get you for that right?
With slow and steady steps, I began walking away but she quickly walked towards me and grabbed my hair and pulled me towards her.
“See you in hell blondy,,,”
As soon as she said those words, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I looked down and I saw bl.ood gushing out of the area she $tabbed.
“No…I can’t die here”
I removed my jacket leaving me with only my singlet then I tore it and tied it round my waist to prevent the blood loss.
With my hand placed on my stomach, I limped out of the hospital. Suddenly I saw people running everywhere.
I managed to stop one of the people running and I asked her…
“What’s wrong?”
“A fire broke on, quickly get out of here before the building collapses”
Oh no!! I have to save Beatrix, Eleanor and Jade. I limped to our cell and luckily was empty,,,maybe they succeeded in escaping.
I limped towards the exit but the fire has already blocked the entrance. I looked everywhere and fire surrounded me,,, I was the only remaining one.
I coughed as the smoke kept on accumulating. My knees gave up and fell on the ground, while coughing.
Maybe I was destined to die in such way. My head began spinning and I closed my eyes as I was engulfed in darkness
