"Step on it," Eunice whispered to the driver, with an urgency that belied her calm voice.
Even with the speedometer pushing 75, Serena felt like they were crawling—each second stretching into an eternity.
The thing about this ’medicine’ was its sneaky effect—it bided its time before hitting you with an unbearable urgency.
Finally reaching the villa, Serena burst out of the car, not sparing a moment for anything else.
"Did the child eat something off? Do we need to—" Belinda’s words were cut short by an odor so foul it seemed to punch her directly in the brain.
Serena’s gas was so potent that Belinda caught a whiff the moment she stepped out of the car.
Belinda, ever the epitome of grace, couldn’t help but retch ungracefully, nearly fainting from the stench.
"Honey..." Darren had just gotten out of the car when the smell hit him, nearly knocking him out cold.
Feeling the pressure mounting, Serena dashed toward the main house, but the path ahead seemed to turn into stairs made of clouds. Besieged by hallucinations, she couldn’t seem to reach the end.
