Chapter 29: Bomshell
“Noelle!!” Tito yells in complete shock.
He rushes to her and grabs her in his arms, she’s coughing too much blood.
“Noelle!” Noello yells anxiously. He’s so scared right now but doesn’t show it.
“What did you put in chocolate?!” Noello yells and looks back at chocolate.
Tito scoops her into his arms, She’s already unconscious. Tito rushes out of the house in desperation, Noello runs after him.
“What have you done to my sister? You came to kill us right?” Noello yells with a cracked voice like he’s going to break into tears at any minute.
“You should better shut up and stop nagging!” Tito turns and yells at him.
Tito looks at Noelle as he runs to his car, there is no trace of a cab around and waiting for an ambulance could be fatal, Tito has never felt this desperate before, he’s confused about the sudden events.
Noello keeps running after him.
—
Signora Ginvera comes out of her shop ready to go take the twins from home when she sees Noello running after a man who is carrying someone that looks like Noelle.
“Noello” Signora Ginvera yells but the latter doesn’t respond.
Signora holds her bag tightly and runs after them, as fast as her legs could carry her. She gets close to see Noelle’s face filled with blood, Signora Ginvera gasps loudly and covers her mouth with both hands in shock.
“Noelle!!!” She screams and rushes to their side. Her eyes widen when she gets a better view of Noelle’s lifeless body, it scares her to the extent she feels a sharp pain in her chest.
“Open the darn car!” Tito yells and his sleeping driver wakes up.
“Sir!”
“Open the car!” Tito yells louder.
“Yes sir” the driver responds and the car door opens automatically and he enters with Noelle.
“What happened to my grandchild?” Signora Ginvera cries, still holding her chest.
Noello enters the passenger seat, Noelle’s head is on Tito’s lap. Signora Ginvera enters the car and sits close to the driver, she looks back and touches Noelle’s hand. She then recognizes Tito.
“What happened to my Noelle, what did you do to her?” Signora Ginvera yells at Tito.
“Go to the nearest hospital” Tito instructs his driver, who starts driving almost immediately.
“Noelle” She sobs.
“He came to our house and gave Noelle some chocolates, I think he poisoned it, I warned her to eat it but she pleaded deaf ears ” Noello thundered shooting deadly glares at Tito.
Tito looks at Noelle, she looks so lifeless right now, seeing her this way is strange because he’s afraid of losing her..
“What the hell happened to the chocolates?” Tito mutters and sighs.
“Did Gwendolyn put something in them?” Tito thought, different thoughts filled his mind.
“Noelle, wake up” Signora Ginvera cries.
“Drive faster!” Tito yells.

The polyclinic***
Noelle has been rushed into the emergency ward, Tito, Noello and Signora Ginvera are in the waiting room.
“Can you tell me what happened to Noelle?” Signora Ginvera asked, and wiped her tears away.
She’s so scared seeing Noelle in that ghastly state. Tito faces the old woman and didn’t even know what to say, he didn’t have any explanation for her question.
” I don’t know,” Tito mutters and buries his face in his palms.
Noello sat opposite his Grandma and Tito, his eyes were only on Tito staring disdainfully at him, first he wonders why they look alike, their eyes are the same and other features too, and it bothers him a lot.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
He comes out of the blue and his sister gets poisoned. There is no doubt that she has been poisoned but why?
“Does Mamma know something about their operations?” That thought gets stuck to his mind, Tito faces Noello and their eyes meet, Tito can see the hate and judgement through his eyes.
Tito looks away and shifts his gaze to the floor.
“If she dies, I swear you will rot in jail, that’s for sure you jerk!” Noello yells spitefully.
“I think I’ve had enough of your ranting, you brat” Tito utters irritably.
“I didn’t do anything to your sister, why would I want to poison her? Why would I want to harm my own daug-” Tito yells but swallows the rest of his words. “Forget it!”
“Maybe Mamma knows about some of your schemes and you are scared that she would expose you and that’s why you decided to get rid of her, I’m sure there is no other reason for you poisoning Noelle ” Noello shrieks, fighting back his tears.
He should be the mature one and he shouldn’t cry but he doubts if he can hold back.
“I don’t know anything you are saying kid, if I wanted to harm your mother, I would do it without leaving a trace and I don’t need to openly show myself and then try killing your sister,” Tito yells back.
He’s tired of this child making him feel guilty, he’s so upset right now.
“Isn’t it enough that Noelle is fighting for her life? can’t you both show some consideration and keep quiet!” Signora Ginvera shuns making the both of them go mute, but it didn’t stop them from glaring at each other.
“I should call Fiorella,” Signora Ginvera sniffs and brings out her phone from her bag.
“I didn’t bring my glasses” Signora Ginvera cries, not able to see her phone clearly.
“Noello help me call your mother” Signora Ginvera requests and stretches the phone to him.
Noello goes to her and dials his mother’s number.

” It’s such a funny video” Fiorella laughs watching a video with Enzo.
“Yes, it’s really hilarious” Enzo laughs along and stares at her face.
Her loud laughter excites him, laughing makes her more beautiful.
“You are beautiful, heartbeat” Enzo mutters close to her ear. Fiorella blushes warmly, her cheeks flushes.
“Thank you, Enzo,” Fiorella smiles.
She always loves when he calls her beautiful even in these hideous clothes, but she doesn’t feel her heart race when she’s close to him unlike when she’s close to Tito. Fiorella pouts and says inwardly. “I shouldn’t be thinking of him, it’s good as he didn’t come”.
Enzo brings his face closer to hers, Fiorella feels his closeness and faces him slowly. His eyes gawk at her pink lips, he’s about to slam his lips on hers when her phone rings.
Fiorella flinches. “I need to answer this” She mumbles and answers the call.
“Hello”
“Mamma”
“Noello” Fiorella mutters, surprised.
“Mamma, Noelle got poisoned, she’s dead” Noello said and the phone fell out of Fiorella’s hand.
“What’s the matter?” Enzo asks, concerned.
Out of shock, Fiorella faints immediately.
“Fiorella” Enzo gasps and catches her before she fell.
