Chapter 55 - POURED WITH GAS

The battle has just begun between Brianna and Shelly. Prince Lawrence faked his statement before Brianna's mother, that he wants to remain with her as his wife when it was only a plan between Brianna and him to ruin Shelly and princess Helena's plan.

Brianna's stay in the house is of no tolerance. The battle is between two, against one. she is doing everything possible to make Gabriel jealous of her and prince Lawrence, mean while, she us doing it for him.

Shelly keeps bragging about her pregnancy whenever she sees Brianna. They met in the kitchen when Brianna was preparing coffee to Lawrence, Shelly as well come to do so for Gabriel, despite, her not knowing even how to make coffee, because she I'd used to a life of being served. Just from there, the fight begun Shelly used many of terrible words on Brianna's family that made Brianna slap her the best slap of her life. She screamed , pretending that her pregnancy has been tempered with. Gabriel came running to find out what has just happened. With all the lies she told him against Brianna, Gabby had to scold Brianna. Shelly was down when Gabriel came in the kitchen. He hurried to help her up

"What's going on here, Brianna?"

"Ouch, she pushed me."

"You started it first."

"Enough of your drama, woman! How dare you trying to kill my child like you did to yours!"

Brianna couldn't believe that these allegations has just come from Gabriel's mouth. Lawrence heard what he has just said when he had just entered the kitchen. Brianna was shuttered by his words, he did not expect him to utter such words of accusation.

After ward, Gabriel realized that he has hurt her with his words, but didn't want to say sorry there and then. Quietly, Brianna walked out of the kitchen to her room, shuttered.

"Have you lost your mind, Gabby? How did you accuse her of killing her own child? You better go and apologize to her, right now!"

Shelly read the look on his face, that he was ready to apologise, so she fake, feeling pain so that he can forget about going to Brianna to apologise, instead be with her in the bedroom. "I will not, bro, she was the one wrong." Holding Shelly by the waist, giving her balance, since she said she was in pain, they suppassed Lawrence, leaving him standing idle.

******************

That day past and two days after the incident, also passed. Brianna won't let them triumph over her, she refuse to give them a chance to win. They got in another wrangle which cost her a sprained knees. Shelly hit her with a car deliberately and lied that it was an accident, she was trying to make a turn as she was going out and Brianna was standing behind, unnoticed. She was hospitalized for a week, only after a week and two days she was discharged. Mrs Kumwenda didn't even know about it.

Dr Marcos got into a quarrel with his cousin, Shelly over her evil acts against Brianna but she shut him up.

"Shelly you have to change your ways. What did that poor girl do to you, tormenting her?"

"Ah... so she has Bewitched you as well, to keep defending her, over your cousin, right?" Glare at him. "I will not stop until she finally leave the castle, and that I can assure you."

Now the doctor was quite. She turned back again and proposed something to him, "I can make a deal with you. I know you love her alot, I can help you to have her as yours, only if you would want that."

"I will not make an alliance with you, Shelly, just to win her love." Rebuked her. " Shelly love is a sacrifice. It's a trade off, you give up one thing for the other.....

"Oh, please, that's ridiculous! Being a good boy, doesn't help, cousin, wake up! People will only be using you for their personal gain. You need to wake up! " She yelled on his face. "Any way, Incase in need my help, I will be there to help you." She said so then leave.

Brianna came back to the palace on a wheelchair as her legs are still weak to be used. The evil ones where watching from the balcony as she was taken out of the car to the wheelchair by prince Lawrence. Other family members where there to welcome her. The king and queen welcomed her, back inside, but she refused, demanded to be left a servant quota. They all pleaded with her, but she insisted, and so, all her belongings where taken in the quota and so did, prince Lawrence. He gave up the castle to a quota with Brianna, despite of her, begging him to stay back in the main building.

The quota wasn't so bad, it was a three bedroomed house, so they could sleep in separate rooms. The two villains felt the've won the battle, but little did they knew what was coming their way. Lawrence and Brianna had other plans for them.

***************

Brianna has been on a wheelchair for two weeks now. Everytime when the mother call, she lies that she's ok. Prince Lawrence went out this morning, only her and the maiden her in the house. Agness has proved to be a good companion to her. She make sure to take up a responsibility of Walking her around the yard, in her wheelchair whenever Lawrence is not around. To keep her away from feeling bored, Lawrence has brought her a keyboard that she plays everytime she feels like playing.

This morning, she woke up feeling very sad and missing her mother. Brianna push herself to a piano to play it, now that she was alone in the house, Agness went to correct some food stuffs in the castle. She sat there, playing with the keys. She then decide to sing a song for her mother, sung by the peace preachers, entitled: "Nayewa amama." She begun the song While playing the keyboard, with tears rolling.

Gabriel just dropped from the car when he heard a sound of a keyboard coming from the quota. He stopped by, listening to it melodious sound. Slowly he approached until he was by the door. The door was left open, he stood there watching her sing and play. The message in the song made him sob. She continued singing as she crys and so did Gabriel. Lawrence came a long time ago, only stood quietly behind him sadly.

She turned the chair, in great tears, Gabriel quickly run away before she see him, and only to find Lawrence, standing behind him. He wiped tears off and over pass him shamefully. Lawrence watched him leave, sadly, then he walked in and kneel before Brianna. Giving her a shoulder to cry on. She cried her sorrows out for over 30 minutes.

Gabriel enter the building and found the two weaked souls sitting, enjoying themselves, without a single word, he suppassed them up stairs. they wondered why he was angry. Shelly had to follow him upstair where he yelled at her , accusing her of having deprived him of his happiness. They quarreled until he excused himself to a spare bedroom. where he closed himself and wept, recalling his happy days with Brianna. He grabbed a bottle of wine, drink himself to sleep.

*********************

With the help of a physiothelapist and prince Lawrence, Brianna was able to use her feet again. Once again she is back in the palace to give hell to Shelly. Now she has learnt the truth about Shelly's pregnancy, being a fake one.

She confronts her and tell it to her face to confess the truth or she will do it, instead. Panic grows in Shelly and her partner as the the three days she was given to confess is coming to an end. What can she do, she seek help from Manoah who refused to help her kill the woman after his heart. Behind his back, one from his men introduced her to Manoah's doctor whom she made a deal of k20,000 if she help. She gave her a container with gas in it with instructions to put it in her food and she will be silenced for ever.

Shelly haven't been in the castle since morning, it is now that she sneak in, making sure no one sees her, especially Brianna. Unfortunate, they met in a passage, on her to the bedroom. She is cought by surprise, no explanation to give.

Brianna fixed her eyes on the container she was carrying. "What's that?"

"It's no of your business." She hide it behind, guiltly.

"Ok, come on, let's go down stairs, i have already summoned everyone, we where only waiting for you." She over passed her, but before she could reach for the stairs, Shelly hold her back."Where do you think you are going, you gold digger!" Drag her back.

Brianna push her back roughly, "Let me go, you devil!"

Helena was watching them fight, peeping from the corner. Shelly is over powered, she looked around, confused and saw Helena who gestured her to hit her with anything. She looked around and saw nothing then she decide to hit her with the container in her hand, which opened instantly and the gas spread on her face.

Brianna fell to the ground, rolling around In pain. She screamed like mad, rolling down the stairs in such great pain. Afraid of what she has done, Shelly escaped through the back door with the help of Helena. Everyone came running from their respective rooms.

See how bad Brianna's face has been burned. Fear overwhelmed them all.

"Noooo, Brianna!!" Gabriel run to rescue her. Without wasting a second, Lawrence calls for the ambulance as it was taking time, Gabriel lift her, running with her to the car. Luckily, the ambulance just drove in, the nurses hurried her into an ambulance, off they go. The rest of the family follow behind in their own car, Gabriel driving at the highest level, following the ambulance.

At hospital, an emergency siren is rang. nurses ans doctor's on duty, leave whatever they where doing, running to receive the patient who has just brought in. Doctor Marcos and doctor Christine, the chief surgeon running to the theater. On their way, they met with the nurses who were taking the patient to the theater in a hurry, pushing the stretcher.

When the doctor saw Brianna on that stretcher, he thought his where deceiving him. He stop, staring at Where the stretcher was going hopelessly. When he looked around and saw the royal household coming, running in such panic, he knew that it was truly Brianna she saw.

At that moment, doctor Christine came, she ordered the nurses to take doctor Marcos back to his office, but he was too stubborn to be controlled. He run to the operation room, just as they where getting ready for the operation, he bugged in. Seeing how terrible Brianna's face has been burn, the doctor begin to tremble with tears rolling down.

"Doctor Marcos, you need to leave, please. Let me do my job." She drag him out, even so, his eyes where fixed on her , until he was out. Lawrence sit on the corridor, weeping Then he groaned louder and followed Prince Gabriel.

The prince was watching with the rest, up stairs on the big glass that was viewing everything that was happening when Marcos attacked him. The doctor jumped on him, thrashing him with every strength in him. It was noise everywhere. The guards got hold of the doctor, separating him from the prince. He thrashed him to bleed without him fighting back, not because he is weak, but because he felt deserving of such treatment for allowing Shelly to deceive him.

"If she does, I promise to kill you with my bare hands, you murderer!!!!"

No one has ever seen the doctor this furious. "I swear by my father's grave, I will kill you if my Brianna dies." Fighting to free himself from the guards grip but they over powered him.

In minutes time, it was no longer news that princess Shelly has poured Brianna with gas. She is now the fugitive of the law and tagged as the most wanted on TV and newspapers.

For an hour now, Brianna is still in operation room. Almost the whole town escorted Mrs Kumwenda to the hospital, all to see Brianna. Face to face with the king, Mrs Kumwenda fell on the king's feet's and weep hard. "Tell me your majesty if I deserve such treatment." Clinging to his Rob." Please tell me what I did to you people. Why have you deprived my happiness?"

King Yachi wiped his tears then bend down and helped her up to stand on her feet. "I beg of you Madam to please forgive me. I deserve what ever punishment you shall give my family and I, if your daughter dies."

"Will the punishment bring back my daughter, huh?" She was so powerless that she didn't even had strength to shout nor cry out loud.

Prince Lawrence was standing next to the king hopeless. Mrs Kumwenda then turned to him sadly, with swollen eyes, "I begged you to let my daughter go, yet you Insisted on protecting her. Was this what you called protection?" He asked prince Lawrence this question, that he didn't have an answer for.

She fell on her knees and weep. Daniel knelt with her and weep with her. Michie, Cindy, Tasha and the rest cried.

On the other side, Yosef saw what had happened in spirit, he request of his family and the friends they left behind to pray for her. They all gathered at his compound, praying until she was out of the theater.

The operation was successful, everyone celebrated, but she was to be fly abroad to India for a facial surgery, should her face get back to normal. The doctors have only manage to clear the damage, preventing the gas from continuing spread and destroying other cells, but her face remained disfigured.

The king took it upon himself, to sponsor her flight as well as her surgery and everything needed to bring her back to her old self. Doctor Marcos is the one to fly with her. Mrs Kumwenda permitted him to do so. Before they could leave, prince Gabriel and him signed an agreement that if she get treated, prince Gabriel should sign a divorce papers that allows the doctor to take her as his.

Prince Gabriel felt it was the right thing to do, since he has caused her so much pain in her hands.

The day came and Brianna was leaving the country. Everyone, of her friends, family gather around her to bid their farewell. After that the doctor helped her get into the car to the airport where the mother, brother and friends bid them a farewell. They watched the plane, fly away.

Now Mrs Kumwenda is on the mission to ruin the lives of the family of a lady that destroyed her daughter's life. When she found out that actually Shelly was a princess of Livingstone, a daughter of the woman who deprived her of her happiness when she took the only man she ever loved, she couldn't spare them.
