…Three Days Later…
Gianna’s POV
I finished dressing up in my nighties and was about retiring to bed when I felt like having a cold glass of water.
It’s been three solid days since I have been indoors, receiving online lessons, and also feeding mostly on the chocolate and cookies I had bought when I went shopping few days back.
This was only when Greg was home, whenever I noticed he has left, I get out and do my thing.
I was afraid he was gonna ask for forgiveness again of which I was already getting extremely tired of.
So that night after bath, I felt like taking a glass of chilled water and so I headed out of my room, for the kitchen.
I opened the door only to see so many bouquets of flowers with different notes attached to each bouquet right in front of me, there were just so many I couldn’t count them.
I sighed, knowing fully well they were all from Greg, but I didn’t fucking give a damn.
At that instant, Muni rushed up to me.
“Ma’am! Thank goodness, you came out of your room today. Master -“.
“Save the sermon Muni, I am in a rush”, I muttered and walk past the bouquets, and headed for the kitchen.
I got to the kitchen and met Nadia, one of the cooks, she was doing the dishes.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ma’am!” She saluted.
“Good evening Nadia”, I mumbled heading straight to the fridge.
“You need water ma’am?” She questioned.
“Yes, please.” I replied, and continued walking to my destination.
“Don’t worry ma’am, have a seat and let me get it for you”, she mulled whipping her wet hands on her apron.
“No Nadia, I can do that myself, besides, you are busy”, I insisted, chuckling.
But before I could finish speaking, she was right in front of the refrigerator, handing me a cold glass of water.
I sighed and went weak. I was damn tasty too, and so without hesitation, I accepted the glass of water and gulped down the whole content.
Nadia stood beside, smiling broadly at me. I handed the empty glass back to her and she took it.
“Thanks”, I muttered and turned to leave, at the minute I got to the door, my head began banging.
I managed to look around and noticed everything began appearing in twos. My head kept spinning around.
“Ahhhrgg!” I screamed holding my head tightly as I felt a sharp pain in there.
“Did Nadia actually drug my water?”.
That thought came to me as I fell hard to the floor and instantly blacked out.
Nadia’s POV
I watched as Gianna fell to the ground after a sharp scream and then I walked up to her.
“Hmph, she must be a coward to think that I like her”, I muttered dragging her out of the mansion through the door at the back which lead right into the garden.
Instantly, some masked men came out from their hideouts and took her from me, then they all nodded at me and left the vicinity.

Greg’s POV
“For the last time I am gonna ask you all over again. Where is Gianna?” I questioned all my employees, they were all standing in a C curve as I interrogated them.
“Master! I only saw her when she stepped out of her room this evening, I wanted to come with her but she shunned me away”, Muni uttered timidly.
“Sir, I swear we don’t know”, Nadia answered shrinkingly.
I turned to her, and quickly I noticed there was something off about her, she was fidgeting and flickering her eyelids as she spoke.
“Why are you feeling guilty huh Nadia?” I asked and began advancing towards her.
She swallowed hard.
“No… Sir… she…. She came -“, she stuttered.
Hmph, I smirked. That was the only proof I was waiting for to prove my thinkings right.
“Enough!”, I shouted and she shuddered.
“Nadia, what did you do to my security?” I asked and she shrugged her shoulders.
“N… nothing, I did nothing to them Sir”, she replied.
I simpered.
“I see, tonight was your turn to make them their night coffee right?” I asked and she slowly nodded.
“True”.
“And they all fell asleep, instead of being awake at their respective posts”.
“Huh!”, she gasped, her eyes widened.
I took out my pistol from my pocket.
“What did you put in that coffee you gave to them?” I asked, cocking my gun.
