Chapter 93
The car screeched to halt in front of Daniel’s mansion. Without wasting any more time Lisa rushed out of the car and ran inside the house.
She walked inside the house and met ma’am Lois lying on the couch. She walked towards her and touched her. Her body was now calm.
“Lisa” ma’am Lois called as she felt a hand touch her.
“I should take you to the hospital. Let’s go” Lisa said
“No Lisa. I’m fine. I already took drugs, ”Ma’am Lois said.
“You sure you’re alright?” Lisa asked as she sat close to her.
“Yes I’m fine”
“I think it’s high time you quit this job and rest. You are too old for it, we will employ a new maid. I’ll talk to Daniel about it” Lisa said
“No please no Lisa. I do not want to leave the job. I won’t be able to see Daniel again. Daniel is like a son to me please I don’t want to leave him” ma’am lois said as tears slipped from her chubby cheeks.
“You are not leaving Daniel and Daniel is not leaving you. You are still gonna be living here but you won’t have to work anymore. Common you should stop crying” Lisa said and wiped her tears.
“If you do not want to visit the hospital I’ll call the doctor to come check on you and prescribe some drugs for you” Lisa said and ma’am lois nodded in response.
Later that day Lisa called the doctor, he checked on her and prescribed some drugs for her. Lisa helped ma’am lois prepare dinner and made her eat before taking the drugs. After that she went to sleep.
Lisa went to her room upstairs. She removed her shoes and collapsed tiredly on the bed. She then remembered Dina called her earlier today trying to tell her something. She decided to call her to ask her what it was.
She carried her bag and took her phone from it. She called her number but it wasn’t going through. It said it was switched off. She tried calling it again but it was saying the same thing. Lisa sighed softly and dropped her phone on the bed. she stood up from the bed and walked inside the bathroom, took her bath, and walked out with a towel tied around her cheek.
She wore a simple gown and went to lay on the bed and suddenly she drifted to sleep.
It was the night after Daniel had come back from work. He took his bath and came downstairs for dinner but Lisa wasn’t in the dining waiting for him.
He decided to go check on her, then he found out she was asleep. He walked towards her, kissed her on her forehead, and covered her properly with the duvet. He walked out of the room and closed the door.

Next Day
Lisa had woken up feeling so weak. She had a bad dream about Dina and Clara. She tried calling her again this morning but her number wasn’t going through. She just hopes they’re okay.
She brushed her teeth, took her bath, and went downstairs for breakfast.
“Good morning, ” she said to Daniel who was already at the dining table eating.
“Hey, good morning. I thought you were still asleep. Didn’t want to wake you” Daniel said and Lisa nodded before sitting on the chair.
“Hey what’s up with that face? Is everything alright?” Daniel asked as he noticed the worried look on Lisa’s face.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m only worried about Dina. Haven’t heard from her since I left her house yesterday. I just have this gut feeling something is wrong ” Lisa said
“Wanna go check on her today? The driver will take you there alright? You don’t have to worry, I’m sure she and her daughter are both fine. Maybe Dina’s battery died down” Daniel said and Lisa nodded.
She was so lost in thoughts that she didn’t notice there was lots of food arranged in the dining. When she finally noticed she stared at Daniel. She knew he prepared it because as far as she could remember ma’am Lois is sick.
“You prepared it right?” Lisa asked smiling
“Yeah, I woke up early today and decided to do something different. You should taste it. It’s yummy” Daniel said and Lisa smiled at him
She took a spoon from one of the dishes and put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes and moaned softly as she ate the food.
“It’s so delicious. I’m starting to think you’ll be our new cook” Lisa said opening her eyes and they both laughed.
“You can employ me. Be sure to start paying me a weekly salary ” Daniel said and they both burst into laughter.
After they were done eating breakfast. Daniel had gone to the office and the driver had taken Lisa to Dina’s house. When Lisa had gotten there she found out no one was home. She felt it was unlike Dina to just leave the house especially now that her daughter had just done surgery.
She brought out her phone and tried calling her but still, her number wasn’t going through.
She decided to knock on the door and to her surprise, the door creaked open. She left her door open, Lisa thought as a cold shiver ran down her spine.
“Dina” she called as she opened the door fully and walked inside the house and to her utmost surprise everywhere was looking so messed up.
Lisa walked fully inside the house.
“Dina” he called as she checked the kitchen and other rooms but she was there. She decided to check the last room which was Clara’s room.
There she saw blood on the ground when she opened the door. She looked around the room but there was no one there, just blood on the ground. Just as she was about to close the door she caught a glimpse of something under Clara’s bed.
A cold shiver ran down her spine as she felt scared. She brought out her phone and switched on the torch.
She moved towards the bed and bent. Then put her torch under to check what was under the bed and to her surprise she saw Dina lying unconscious with blood all over.
“Jesus” she screamed at once as her phone fell from her hands.
