Rasber quickly entered the bride's courtyard stealthily but he didn't know that 4 pairs of eyes were locked on him only. Mike, Alex, Emmy as well as Eliza were standing on the balcony of the building near to the house which Rasber had entered.
The bustling crowd didn't know but Juliet and Janet who also entered the courtyard heard the noises of cracking potteries and utensils. After some time, as no noise was heard from inside, Juliet used her powers to analyse what was happening inside.
" Now, be a good girl and let me go."
" Why are you so adamant, if you dare, release me from these shackles."
" You shameless wretched woman, release me this instance."
Juliet could only hear Rasber shouting and there was no other sound at all. She could make some chain shackling noises, so it means that Rasber was chained and he won't be allowed to go out soon.
The smile bloomed over Juliet's face and she quickly showed a thumbs-up signal to her friends on the balcony. Emmy was still not getting why others rejoicing to put Rasber on that woman's hands. She stopped Alex and questioned him as she knew throwing a little tantrum can make him spell out anything.
" Who is the woman inside that house? Juliet told me, some experiment went wrong and that woman crushed men who looked at her with perverted eyes and all. Do you know about her? "
Alex laughed at the way Emmy was getting curious over that little hussy. He wanted to let her know what really happened with that experiment but even if they had been together for months now, he had never initiated that step towards her. When Alex was thinking of their intimate moments, Emmy got much vexed.
" Who is that woman, Alex?"
Jolting back from daydreams, what welcomed Alex was Emmy's fuming face. His wife was getting impatient lately, he smiled and started to explain what had happened to that woman.
" Elder Miandrake's priced student, Ms Gabriela eagerly tried different experiments with who knows what things. Once, she was experimenting on a drug used to seduce men and then accidentally added the herb Alvish to her creation resulting in some kind of blast. From that day onwards, rumour has it that she had become venomous. Literally, even her touch inflicted a horrible effect on men. Those who dared to stand as her experiment tool ended up in a poor condition."
" When she wanted to marry, no one stood up for her and from that day, she was waiting for her prince charming. Last day, Leon had volunteered to be a messenger for going with Rasber's proposal and she accepted it."
Emmy was stumped to think of such a situation, so that means what Juliet meant by fun was the torturous night for Rasber. Although he deserved it, Emmy felt sorry for the woman named Gabriella.
In the sunset of that evening, the whole Esbertrazian clan welcomed the new couples and Houlson was gleaming proudly while Kiara under her veil was blushing like a tomato. Eliza and Leon followed them in their white attire.
Yes, Houlson and Kiara had been adamant to have their siblings also get married on the same day. Finally, Eliza agreed to tie the knot with Leon. So the four got ready to get going and their fate was sealed forever. The ceremony was short and quickly completed, the elders blessed the new couples and the feast began.
While the feast was continuing, on the table, the group of friends were chatting and having drinks leisurely. The men were thinking about how to get the two grooms drunk whereas the women were talking about Rasber and Gabriella. Suddenly, Juliet's expression changed and she asked her friends to be quiet.
" Impossible..."
Concentrating with her eyes closed, Juliet whispered under her breath. Houlson signalled his subordinates to check Gabriella's courtyard at the same time. He was worried that if Rasber met any fatal attacks then Victor might get a reason to strike against the Esbertrazian clan directly.
Juliet opened her eyes and her cheeks were flushed in red colour. She looked at the girls at her table and nodded her head. All women including Emmy at the table were surprised as their hunch became true in such a short while.
A little while earlier…
" Emmy, what do you think? How much Rasber can withstand Gabriella's torture ?"
Emmy thought for a while, and replied seriously, " I think she won't torture him at all."
Janet and Juliet smiled looking at Emmy while Eliza and Kiara were feeling confused. The Lazarian sisters didn't know that our Emmy's train of thoughts always differed from normal beings.
The curious Eliza chimed in, " Why do you think so? Julie told us previously that he had been chained inside the house."
"Think about it from the viewpoint of Gabriella, she wishes to have a man in her life but till now no one has dared for it and as it was Leon who had gone with Rasber's fake proposal, I'm quite sure that he must have added his own version of the story. When a woman needs love, she can go to any heights to achieve it."
Kiara nodded indicating that what Emmy suggested can happen in this case. She also felt that the woman must have chained up Rasber just not to let him escape.
" Okay, let us see what happens in that case. However, is the rumour true that she is venomous and could perish any man with her touch?"
" It is heard that whoever tried to have a way with her, had met horrible accidents thereafter. Our cunning men came up with this idea to torture Rasber so that his perverted mind would never dare to harm any other woman in his life again."
At present, Juliet discussed the situation to her group, all men had their eyes popped out after hearing that the venomous lady of the dark clan also known to be the disaster of men, ended up in falling in love at the first sight with that lousy man. Their plan had backfired them terribly and now the men were scratching their heads to find a solution.
��� If Rasber takes this opportunity well, he can use Gabriella against the whole dark clan."
" Emmy, how is that possible? She just met him now, do you think that she would dare to go against her master and the whole dark clan in the sake of newly founded love?"
Emmy gave a smug look to Alex just as he finished his words. Her gaze was having a sarcastic meaning, "Look, who is criticising newly founded love."
"Alex, do not underestimate a woman in love. She can create or destroy anything under the sun for the sake of love. But here our question is will Rasber would use this opportunity or not?"
The backfiring of their plan had put everyone in a dilemma but still, they enjoyed the wedding feast and the married couples retired to their bridal chambers soon.
Inside the room, Alex was reading the spiritual texts which they got from the black world and Emmy had already entered her dream world. At first, she was having pleasant dreams about Alex and herself at the clifftop manor playing on the beach and all. But suddenly, she saw a woman standing far away from them. Emmy started walking towards that woman, she was surprised to see that it was the same woman who was in those portraits. Yes, the woman was none other than Lamia.
Emmy was getting restless but Alex was engrossed in the text that he didn't see her frowning and mumbling something in her sleep. In her dream, as she approached Lamia, the latter's eyes were locked on Alex who was still playing on the sea waves. Emmy looked along her line of sight and remained quiet.
Breaking the silence, Lamis asked Emmy, " Do you think that you can live with him peacefully in the future?"
Emmy looked at Lamia's eyes, it clearly showed her feelings towards Alex but Emmy felt as if Lamia was trying to warn her about something else.
" Cut straight to the point, what do you intend to say?"
" Quick one huh!, no wonder he could love your personality more... Emmy, just remembers, the black world would kill Alex at any cost, the only way to protect him is to let him sacrifice his ….."
Before Lamia could finish her sentence, she was engulfed in a black spiral force. Emmy tried to pull Lamis's hands but she couldn't touch them. Within seconds, Lamia got sucked into the black hole just like that and Emmy walked straight towards the black hole.
At first, Emmy could see nothing but darkness however then at a distance, a pair of green eyes appeared. She couldn't understand who it was but later the owner of the eyes slowly walked towards her and only a voice could be heard in the complete darkness.
" Your time is up....prepare for the redemption soon."
