Chapter 44: Death Venom
44. Death’s venom
Author’s POV.
“Ah!!!” Noelle screams.
The bullet actually meets the wall instead of Noello, Noello is still looking fearlessly at her, he has no fear in his eyes at all, those fiery eyes kind of scare Gwandolyn.
It is exactly like the stare Tito would give you that would make you wish you could crawl into a hole and hide yourself.
Gwandolyn smirks and points the gun at Noelle.
Noello is more afraid of Noelle, she is fragile and timid, she always falls prey to bullies because they see her as the weak one .
“Leave my sister alone, face me instead ” Noello yells and Gwandolyn laughs.
Her laugh is horrific and scary, she resembles a witch from a horror movie as she keeps laughing hysterically.
“I think I should kill you both right now but not after having fun first” Gwandolyn smirks.
She walks to a table and drops her bag there and also her gun, she removes a small knife from her bag.
” Watch me torture your sister and you will do nothing “She smirks and walks Noelle.
” No, stay away “Noelle shakes her head and cries.
” Stay away from my sister!”Noello screams.

Laura leaves in the midst of those invited by Enzo to track the children’s location and can’t be easily tracked because of the coverage on the place they might be, Enzo couldn’t do it on his own, therefore he invites the police.
The police are stationed right now in their house and are tracking their location.
Laura goes to the kitchen and sees Enzo drinking from a glass of water, Fiorella actually called her and like a good and supportive friend, she had to leave the office and come rushing here like a mad person.
Enzo notices someone’s presence and turns to the door, he narrows his eyes at her and furrows his thick brows.
Laura slowly walks to him, playing with her fingers behind her back.
“I hope they find the children” She mutters nervously.
“I hope so too, Fiorella is worried” Enzo mumbles sadly.
Laura pinches herself angrily, he is only concerned about Fiorella when he sees her sad, he never cares to ask about her welfare or the cause of her suffering.
Laura plasters a smile on her lips and continues the conversation”Can we talk about us for a while? ”
” This is not the place or the time to talk about personal issues “Enzo declines.
“This is the only time that you don’t want to be left alone, Lorenzo maybe I should just let everything out, Enzo I love you, I have feelings for you, I have tried many times convincing myself that, this is not true and it is just an infatuation but I was wrong, it’s true love “Laura confesses and cups his face.
” I love you “She mutters and kisses his lips instantly.
Enzo’s eyes widen and he pushes her away, he pushes her so hard that she almost loses balance.
Enzo wipes his lips in disgust.
” I don’t love you Laura, I do not feel the same about you, we are just friends, don’t confuse friendship for love, I don’t want to hurt your feelings but I have to be sincere with, I don’t love you” Enzo responds sternly, his eyes and words are so emotionless.
Laura’s eyes fill with tears, pain and heartbreak are visible in her glassy eyes.
“Enzo, I don’t care if it is a one side love, I am alright with it”
” Well not me, I love someone else, she is the only one I love and there is no vacancy for you” Enzo scowls and leaves the kitchen.
“You love Fiorella right?” Laura mutters hatefully and clenches her fist.
She bursts into tears but covers her mouth to suppress it.

Noelle’s skin has been torn by Gwandolyn, her arms have been marked with the knife..
“This is all for the baby I lost, you both are going to lose your lives” Gwandolyn grins wickedly.
Noelle keeps bleeding and crying, Noello feels helpless that he can’t help his twin sister, he wishes for the ropes to get loosened so he can be able to kill this evil woman once and for all but it seems like his little wish might not come true anytime soon.
“Papa” Noelle cries loudly.
Her entire hope is on Tito right now, that he would come to save them.
“You won’t escape even though Tito comes to save you” Gwandolyn talks to Noello, she hates the child’s guts.
“Gregory” She calls and he runs.
“Yes, Boss” He answers.
“Get the things I asked you to prepare” She orders.
He bows and leaves the room. He comes back with handcuffs, chains, petrol, padlocks, keys and a match box and places them on the table.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Fear grips the twins
“What are you going to do”? “Noello shrieks , his cold eyes screening the items.
” Marco “Gregory calls and Marco rushes inside the room.
A minute or two silence and Gregory brings out a gun and shoots Marco in the head..
” Ah!!! “Noelle screams.
But the next thing that happens to shock them, Gwandolyn walks to items, she picks up her gun and, turns swiftly and shoots him before he could shoot her.
” Traitor “She frowns.
She takes a handcuff, chain and padlock with other things and goes to Noello, she handcuffs him and locks it then chains his legs and padlocks it.
” You will never escape this “She repeats and walks back to the table.
She takes the petrol and the match box , she goes out of the room and locks the door , she spills the content all over the house and sills it in the room the twins are in.
” P-please don’t burn us” Noelle yells.
Gwandolyn splits the match, pushes the door open and drops on the floor, the fire spreads widely and she bangs the door shut.
She turns to see the police car arriving, she runs into the bush quickly.
“Gwandolyn” Tito yells and the police car stops, then some police officers rush out of the car and pursue her.
Fiorella, Enzo and Tito come out of the car, their eyes widen and they see the building on fire.
“It’s on fire” Fiorella yells in tears.
Tito runs to the door and starts hitting it with his shoulder, it bursts open, the room is completely engulfed with fire. It looks pretty dangerous but without thinking twice, he runs into the fire.
“Tito!” Fiorella screams fearfully.
Enzo swallows hard, he is too afraid to enter the fire, he goes to hug Fiorella instead .
“Call the fire brigade” the last policeman who remained, ran into the house.
****
Tito gets burns from walking through the fire.
“Noello!!!” He yells and covers his nose, a part of the ceiling falls because of the fire.
“Noelle” He calls, he pulls off his jacket and puts out some of the fire.
“Papa!”Noelle yells from one of the rooms.
He quickly rushes there and kicks it hard with foot.
The door flings open and his eyes widen to see fire around them.
” Papa “Noelle coughs.
Tito runs right through the fire to them, his legs get burnt but he doesn’t care, Noello can’t believe his eyes
Tito loosened the ropes around her and carried her in his arms.
” Papa”She coughs.
The police man runs in too, it’s shocking that he could be so selfless.
“Give her to me” the man coughs, Tito quickly hands her over to him, he covers her with his shirt .
He leaves with her, some policemen are coming to their aid and also the fire brigade.
“That witch” He coughs and unties Noello, remaining only the chain and handcuff.
Noello is pretty scared.
“Don’t be nervous papa is going to save you” He mutters, the heat and fire getting worse.
Noello is coughing badly, he is inhaling a whole lot of smoke.
Tito stands up and brings out his gun.
“Stay still” Tito mumbles and grabs his hands , he shoots the handcuff carefully, so he won’t hurt him.
He does the same thing to the padlock and the chains come off his body.
The man comes again with scalps on his body , Tito gives him to the officer who covers Noello with his shirt and he rushes out.
Tito runs out with them, Noello is watching him running behind them when suddenly a heavy plank that has caught fire suddenly falls on him.
It lands hard on Tito’s back and he collapses to the floor.
“Tito!!!” Noello screams, tears gather in his eyes.
The policeman doesn’t turn back but continues running.
“Tito!!!” Nolo stretches his hand.
Tito doesn’t move a muscle or attempts standing.
“Papa!” Noello cries loudly.
