{Saving Crystal, Getting Them Punished}
Cali POV
I walk inside the main mansion through the back door. I stopped when I heard Crystal spitting out blood. Was that in my sink… Definitely! Not my kitchen sink. I almost went wild. But she wasn’t in the kitchen. The three maids had a bowl for her to have the blood..
“Were you poisoned? ” I asked with a worried face.
“No ma, she wasn’t—”
“Why is spitting out blood? ” I asked, standing in front of them.
“Marie punch her face badly.. we tried to interfere but she had us beaten up—”
“She did that… ” I asked, looking amused..
“Okay then. Go upstairs and clean the room opposite mine… ” I ordered and they dropped the bowl. I looked back at Crystal, she looked tired.
“Were you not feeling fine before they treated you this way? ” I asked and she nodded as a single tear stream went down her eyes to her ear.
*Commotion outside*
“Why did they knee down? ” I heard but I recognized the voice.
“Oh my gosh, Camila and Nova are here… My life savers. ” I mumbled, releasing a breath of relief.
“Did Cali order them to be tied up, under this sunny weather… ” I heard the voice. My crazy twins, gosh! It’s been a long time since I ran out of anxiety. I opened the door and I was surprised. It’s them.
“Jemma… ” I screamed and she rushed to hug me. She skipped some of the stairs and just hugged me.
“I’m sorry for coming late. ” she uttered, hugging me. The hug looks weird, I can’t get a chest to chest hug again because of quintuplets. We break the hug with a bright smile on her face.
“Come and hug me Jenna. ” I pouted and she laughed.
“I can’t believe she’s acting like a baby. Where is the I don’t care Cali? ” she said as she walked to hug me.
“You are not serious… ” I laughed and hugged her quickly.
“Why did you have them tied up, under the sun sis Cali? Camila asked, staring at Marie and Naomi.
“They deserve it, and they will be there till Calvin takes them to the police station. ”
“Is it up to that extent?? ” Nova mumbled, giving them a curious glance.
“We will talk about it inside. I will need you with something urgent. ” I uttered and shut the door behind me.
“Of course, I would love to help with anything. ” She smiled and I chuckled.
“Oh my gosh!!! Why is she like this? ” Jemma panicked and touched her face..
“She’s burning up. She paused to look at me but my face also had a worried expression on it. Where did you get her, I mean this girl. ” She said.
“My favorite maid, those two devil’s you see outside are the one behind this and she was not feeling well before they made her like this. ” I explained…
“Have you taken any drugs? Jemma asked Crystal and she nodded.
“Malaria drugs. ” Jemma asks and she nods.
“Can someone get the drugs in her room? ” Jemma asked no one in particular but Camila suggested she would go since she’s familiar with my place.
“Hope your room is not dirty. Camila asked as she took the back door.
“It’s not… ” I replied…
“The room you ask us to clean is ready. ” The three maids said as they descended down the stairs.
“Thank you. You can join the rest outside.. I want the three of you on your knees… ” I ordered and Nova’s eyes widened in shock.
“Okay ma.. ” The maids’ response made Nova stunned again.
“Wow! No begging—” I interrupt Nova words.
“I told them the rules before they came in.. No one should beg me what they are wrong… ” I uttered and she made an O shape with her lips.
“Cali. ” Jemma called my name and I looked at her.
“Where’s her room? ”
“Upstairs… ” I replied.
“I want to lay her properly. She needs to treat the minor wounds. Do you have a first aid kit ? ” She asked as I nodded while walking out of the living room.
“Can you assist me to put her on my back Jenna? ” Jemma mumbled and she nodded. I brought out the first aid from the visitors room and followed them upstairs.
*****
I sat down, including Camila, Nova, Jemma, Jenna and I, watching Crystal heart rise and fall.
“I can’t believe those girls did this to her. Just because you care for her. ” Camila pouted, dropping her phone on the side of the wardrobe.
“I’m hungry… ” I mumbled and my phone vibrated on the side of the wardrobe. Camila stretched to get it for me but she paused.
“This is Andrew’s number.. ” Camila stuttered and knitted my forehead.
“Andrew’s number…. “My mind screamed along with my brain.
