Resting her head upon Marcus’ shoulder, she discovered an anchorage as
substantial as a mountain, his aura a source of unwavering support.
Her eyelids found solace in closure as she inhaled his comforting essence,
eventually succumbing to slumber upon his sturdy perch.
In the twilight hours, Millie stirred, awakening to an unoccupied chamber.
Donning attire, she disembarked from the bed.
Below, a cacophony of activity persisted, though her attention remained undrawn,
attributing the commotion to the arrival of one of Marcus’ comrades.
Venturing onto the balcony, she gazed into the distant expanse, a tableau of
unexpectedness interjecting the scene as an unannounced guest infiltrated the
chamber.
“Millie, word of your poisoning reached my ears. How remiss of you to acquaint
yourself with the venomous blossoms of the tripterygium wilfordii. Exercise
caution in the days ahead, lest a reckoning befall you.”
Rhea intoned, her smile harboring a sinister undercurrent.
Indeed, Rhea had returned. Her resurgence served only one purpose: to imbue
Millie's ordeal with the cruel currency of mockery.
The catalyst for her reappearance was the retrieval of a misplaced necklace.
Millie's countenance, not yet fully restored to its former vitality, abruptly assumed
a frigid pallor. Astonishment coursed through her veins-Rhea had dared to
reappear!
Swiveling on her heel, despite her compromised state of well-being, Millie's gaze
gleamed with an incisive acuity.
“The effrontery of a malefactor knows no bounds. Cease this charade. It was
your hand that introduced the venomous pollen into my drink. Yet, alas for you,
your endeavors have yielded nothing. I stand unscathed.” Millie's voice dripped
with disdain as she hurled her verdict.
With no witnesses to her discourse, Rhea pivoted with haughty audacity. “And so
what if it were me? Do you presume me to be that imbecilic? The dosage of
pollen was scrupulously measured. Had it Led to your demise, I would have
inevitably found myself incarcerated. This, my dear, is but a trifling reckoning
you've earned,” Rhea proclaimed, her arrogance steeped in a nauseating sense
of self-satisfaction. Millie's pallor only fueled her vindictive elation.
Atrifling punishment indeed. In solitude, it could have inflicted excruciating
torment upon Millie, perhaps even yielding her ultimate demise.
Within Rhea’s psyche, malevolence churned. Her visage still veiled in a frosty
veneer, Millie embarked on a deliberate progression towards Rhea.
Rhea’s lips curled into a sneer. “What's this? A proclivity for violence? Let me
enlighten you: Marcus is conveniently stationed downstairs. Lay a finger on me,
and I shall promptly seek solace in his arms.”
Unforeseen, Millie's hand brushed against an adjacent vessel, precipitating a
clamor that inevitably seized the attention of the gentleman beneath. Hastened
strides punctuated his ascent up the staircase.
Out of the blue, Millie cradled her abdomen, a change in her demeanor divergent
from her customary comportment, fingers contorted around her midriff.
“It pains... Assist me,” she entreated, her voice tremulous.
