Chapter 128 - 128: The Island Part 3

"What are you doing?" Evan suddenly yelled.
Daniella stopped and smiled at him, "I am sucking the poison."
Hearing that, Evan's eyes went round, "it's a myth. It doesn't work like that!" he spoke in terror.
Daniella sneered, "I know, I just really like to see you get worried," she giggled while her eyes sparkled in tease, "just thinking, who would you call if I get-" the pain she felt on her forehead after Evan flipped it with his fingers has made her stop from completing her words.
Pouting her lips, Daniella stared at Evan, "why did you do that?" she asked.
Evan imitated the sneered she made earlier, "I will do that every time you made me worried."
Daniella's nose wrinkled. She got up and left him alone in the stairs - proceeding to the kitchen, "let's eat, I will show you the bas.e.m.e.nt later." she said and opened the door while the snake she slapped earlier was twisting its body around the doorknob.
Evan's eyebrow furrowed as he followed Daniella to the bas.e.m.e.nt. Their footsteps echoed and unlike upstairs, the place crept him out.
He was not the scared type of person and he didn't remember ever being scared of the bas.e.m.e.nt but somehow being inside has made his heart pounded.
Absently, his hand stretched to grab Daniella's arm.
"What are we doing here?"
The hallway the bas.e.m.e.nt was just as wide as the hallway on the second floor, and the red light of the bulb was giving him a hard time to find the way. He didn't remember this bas.e.m.e.nt, nor being here just like what Daniella claimed.
His skin was shivering in fear. He didn't hide the fact that he's scared so he went closer to Daniella and tightened his hold to her arm.
"Are you scared?" Daniella asked casually and her voice echoed in the hallway.
"A bit maybe," he admitted as his breathing quickened.
When they stopped in front of one of the doors in the bas.e.m.e.nt, Daniella touched the doorknob and pushed the door open.
It was dark at first then a blinding white light made Evan closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, at the Su villa.
Sitting in the garden in front of the fountain was Selena and next to her was Camille who's looking so fresh in her knee-length blushing pink dress with pelican's design.
Selena lowered her eyes to her dress, she was used of wearing dresses like Camille, she always bought all the type of dress the model wore in the magazine but Daniella gave it away to the maids and bought her clothes which were more of her sitter's style.
Now with her jeans and shirt, she looked like Camille's maid.
"What's with the long face?" Camille asked, her hand laid on Selena's hand and brushed it lightly.
Selena looked down at Camille's dress, "your dress is really pretty."
Camille chuckled, "if you want we can go out and buy you one."
In an instant, Selena's eyes sparkled but it soon faded when she remembered Daniella.
"I am not sure," she plucked her lips, "my sitter would usually ask me to finish reading a book before I can buy a very expensive dress."
Hearing it, Camille rose a brow in disbelief, "what did your uncle Evan say about that?"
Selena shrugged, she didn't mind when Daniella set those rules, it even helped her decide which clothes she needed the most.
"My uncle loves her very much. He just let her do whatever she wants."
Unknown to Selena who was staring at the elegant nails of Camille, the woman flashed an angry look.
"Well, don't worry. I will be spending some time here until the renovation in my apartment is finished, so you won't have to deal with your sitter for some time," as Camille said that with a sweet smile, Selena has elevated her face to meet her eyes.
"Really? You will stay here and even spend time with me?"
Camille nodded with her arms widening to accept Selena's hand. As she brushed a hand on Selena's hair, her jaw gnashed in anger.

In the bas.e.m.e.nt.
Daniella ran the tip of her fingers on the single bed in the bas.e.m.e.nt room. It has the same style as the room she was locked in, even the glass wall separating it to the next room was the same.
The light was white cold, their eyes had adjusted from the red lights in the hallway.
All the furniture and medical equipment were the same. After spending three years in the room, Daniella had memorized the equipment as well as its brand.
"What is this place, Daniella?" Evan asked, sitting down on the purple soft couch in the corner. When he sat down, he realized that the corner has a good view of the whole room.
His eyebrows creased when he saw the metal hanging in the ceiling, the painting of the room has turned into cream showing that it hasn't been painted for decades.
The room has a smell similar to the hospital, but the ambiance was more of a morgue.
A faint sigh let out from Daniella's lips. One thing her mind has decided was to tell Evan what she had gone through from her lips inside of showing him the memories she had. For her, it's easier and won't create confusion.
She sat down to the bed and looked at him with the same expression she had before she left the place.
Slowly, her body fell to the bed, her lips parted to tell him the story of how she escaped the hell room while her mind wandered back in time.
The normal sound of Daniella's heartbeat was being monitored by the heart machine next to her bed. She just had her kidney removed a few hours ago yet the pain was still throbbing in every part of her body.
She opened her eyes and the cold light blinded her sight. It was one of the normal days she had where the doctors would cut her open and take a part of her.
