HOW YOU LIKE THAT | JENLISA

Chapter 79

Jennie

"Lisa, calm down!" I told her softly, while trying to touch her, but she slapped my hand away.

She was holding her head in pain, with her eyes tightly shut, living some kind of nightmare.

There were loud bangs on the door, and Jackson's voice drifted from there. "Is everything alright?"

"Please come in."

I pulled on a robe and made sure that Lisa was covered as well before I let Jackson enter the room. "Do you have some aspirin for her headache?" I asked him.

The maids standing at the door hurried, one was pouring water into a glass, another was busy doing something else.

And then Lisa stopped screaming. She looked at the empty doorway, with her eyes red-rimmed. "I will ruin your lives! Mark my words!" She barked those words in an authoritative voice that I did not even recognise.

That was followed by deafening silence.

She stopped screaming and then looked around. Everyone had stopped doing whatever they'd been doing.

They were staring at Lisa in sheer horror. Even Jackson's eyes had popped out of its sockets, but he refused to say a word. He wouldn't even dare to step closer.

And then something changed in Lisa's eyes, she was tear-soaked, "Why are you..." she sniffled, "Why is everyone looking at me like that?!" She clenched her hair in her fists, "I'm tired... I'm going to bed."

With a shaky hand, I ran my fingers soothingly through her hair. "I didn't mean to cause you distress, baby. Good night. We'll talk tomorrow."

She ignored me and turned in bed to face the other side.

Whatever had happened just now wasn't normal. And by the looks on everyone else's faces, it looked like they'd just witnessed a dead person come back to life.
