Chapter 21 - A clean space

As Mila slept peacefully, Morgana was being burned repeatedly , each time swearing a new oath to the man with silver eyes that bore down upon her. Though Mila appeared to be at rest, Morgana was in agony, unable to escape the torment that continued without end.

----

Morning came and Mila finally fluttered her eyelashes open . She was used to not walking up spooked by her nightmares every morning by they still haunt and scare her . Despite being a regular occurrence , the dreams always left her unsettled .

She frowned as her head turns to her side while hearing the unhuman like snoring . It sounded like a motorbike racing down the hill and then up . Just like how the bike would accelerate and make that sound that gets the girls , including her , to scream .

It was none other than her younger sister Jasmine sleeping next to her bed . Mila was irritated by the sound . She is sweet but please don't get on her nerves or annoy her , especially in the morning !

She lifted her hand and tapped into Jasmine's back . The latter did not wake up , even when Mila called out her name . Mila could not shout , because it still morning and she doesn't have the energy to shout . So she turned her body and her legs were near Jasmine's side of the body .

"Jas . Jas . Jas ." Mila called out for her younger sister three times . Testing the pipes before she kicked Jasmine on the side of her body . It was a cruel act , but this is her room , she's the boss .

Jasmine groaned as she woke up . She garbled out a few words that Mila could not understand . "Crow fit go ffff no si"

"What ?" Mila laughed , gradually restoring her energy to speak . "The hell ? Get out of my bed . Now ! I do not want any possessed child on my bed ." Mila spoke as she pushes away Jasmine who gets pushed away easily while she continued to garble.

Mila laughed when Jasmine stood up like the bed is on fire when she realised she was at the tip of the bed . "You do not love me ." Jasmine mumbled in a hoarse voice with pouted cheeks and her eyes barely opened .

"As if I have a choice ." Mila laughed while eyeing Jasmine's state . "Go and sleep at your room , you know I hate sharing ." Mila said .

"You should share with me . I'm your sister ." Jasmine said and yawned , stretching her arms ," Whaaaaaat do you even want ... to do ?" Jasmine spoke while yawning and stretching her lump , "It's not like you are going to have a guy come over for morning , for sex ." Mila watched Jasmine walk away as she spoke . Her golden brown eyes trail around the clean room. The roses are no longer in sight and she had a question to whom cleaned the room . "Morning sex ." She heard Jasmine mumble before she closed the door .

"I love you !" Jasmine shouted in the hallway . Mila laughed lightly before she responded ," I love you !!" Mila said back .

Her smile lasted for some time before it disappeared and she looked down at herself . She is still wearing the red dress that she wore last night . Mila's eyes scan the room and she leaves the bed , going to search for that envelope and when she doesn't find it the whole room , she heads outside to question the guards .

"Who cleaned my room?" She questioned them after greeting . That one guard who is always the one talking to her lifted his brow in confusion ," No one cleaned your room , Ms Woods . Should I get someone to come clean it ?"

Mila shook her head ," Not it's okay ." She said before she looked back at the room , her gaze lingering long enough on the floor before she looks back at the guard ," There were rose- you know what , forget it ." Mila said before she rushed to close the door behind her . She leaned back onto the door and went through last night . She didn't want them to think she is the lunatic they say she is .

She sighs after some time before she heads to her walk in closet and she chooses clothes to wear and then heads for the bathroom where she runs the water . After setting everything to her satisfaction and creating a new playlist of music , just like everyday , she heads to the patio to get some fresh air . She couldn't bath freely knowing she left the windows open and that is why she comes out to get some fresh air in the morning everything at the balcony and then lock it afterwards and then she goes to bath . Everyone needs some fresh air after waking up .

She heads towards the railings and she looks down to the ground , her eyes immediately going to the two figures down below . Victoria and Alexa . Did they sleep here ? She didn't have the time to dwell into their matter yesterday because she had a lot to deal with .

While she watched them interact in the small driveway , she noticed them turning their heads to the gate . Mila followed their line of sights but she couldn't get to see much . She turns to Victoria and Alexa to realise they are literally stilled to the ground .

Mila left the balcony, making sure to lock it behind her before heading to the bath, rather than to the shower. She bathed with a sense of regret, wishing she had gone to see who was visiting.
