Chapter 126: FORBIDDEN
"What do you mean?" Mary asked and Madam Laura shifted her gaze from Felicia to look at her.
"Just wash these clothes if you both want your stay here in the prison to be a peaceful one with no fights and arguments, obey my commands and that’s it", said Madam Laura.
"I’m not doing any of those, these are your clothes so you should be the one to wash them yourself", Felicia objected. Madam Laura gave her lackeys a look and they immediately understood their tasks.
Two of the inmates pushed Felicia, forcing her to kneel as she yelped in pain. Mary was about to lend her help but two other lackeys held her back.
"You seem to be a stubborn one", madam Laura commented. "But don’t worry, I will make sure to straighten you out", she added with a devious smirk.
An inmate brought out a round container filled with dirty water closer to Felicia’s face. When the smell of the dirty water hit Felicia’s nose, she opened her mouth and threw up.
"You don’t even have a pretty face but you always walk around with pride", the boss mocked.
All of a sudden, Madam Laura pulled Felicia’s head into the container filled with dirty water, drowning her. The water entered Felicia’s nostrils, making it impossible for her to breathe as she struggled to be free from the other two inmates who held her hands behind her.
After several seconds passed, Madam Laura lifted Felicia’s head out of the dirty water and studied her face.
"So will you wash my clothes now?" She questioned and Felicia glared at her before shaking her head.
"Never", she said.
Madam Laura pushed her head into the water and the other inmates rejoiced happily. Mary tried to be free from the other inmates but their grip was too tight.
"Let her go now", Mary demanded.
"Seems that you want to join her too, bring her here", madam Laura commanded the other inmates and Mary was pulled towards the container.
"No, don’t", Mary tried to break free as the inmates pulled her towards the container.
"You seem to care about her so much considering she is pregnant with your grandchild but are you willing to take her place? or join her, you pick", madam Laura suggested and pulled Felicia’s head out of the water. "What do you say?"
Some of the dirty particles that were in the water clung onto Felicia’s scar, making her look even more hideous than she already was.
"You have no right to do this!" Felicia barked.
"It seems you still haven’t learned your lesson yet", said Madam Laura. Facing Mary who was having a hard time choosing one option, she asked, "So which is it, Mary? Are you ready to replace her?"
Madam Laura drowned Felicia again before Mary could reply,
"Yes, I am willing to replace her".
"Are you sure about that? I am going to have to drown you times three more", madam Laura warned her and Mary nodded.
Madam Laura pulled Felicia’s head out of the water and the inmates threw her away while Mary was drowned in the water.
"Now start washing those clothes", madam Laura ordered Felicia who was still trying to catch her breath. She nodded vigorously and carried the piles of clothes out of the cell to the bathroom to wash them.
When she was done, she went back to Madam Laura’s prison cell to bring the clothes back to her with the hope that that woman wouldn’t ask for anything from her again.
Unfortunately, Madam Laura had other plans.
"My cell is dirty, I want you to clean it", she ordered Felicia and the latter nodded.
She looked at the other side where Mary was lying down, tired, and wanted to reach out to her but Madam Laura stopped her. "Clean the cell first", she ordered and instructed the inmates to drag Mary out.
Felicia took a deep breath before she grab a broom and started sweeping. She swept every nook and cranny of the cell to make it extra clean so that the boss wouldn’t complain.
She reached for the beds that needed to be arranged. As she folded the blankets, she saw a cell phone.
Felicia covered her mouth as she gasped before reaching to take the phone.
"Who owns this phone?" She asked herself. She went out of the cell to look around first to be sure that no inmate was watching her.
When she confirmed that it was only her around, she quickly hid the phone in her brazier and continued to clean.
Madam Laura arrived inside the cell to find it spotless. "This is good," she complimented, "If you keep on obeying me like this then we won’t have any more trouble", she added.
Felicia nodded obediently and left when Madam Laura said the word.
She went back to her cell where she found Mary who was resting on the bed. "Did she hit you?" Felicia asked and Mary shook her head.
"But nearly drowned me to death", she replied.
"I have something to show you", she said and reached into her brazier before bringing out the cell phone and Mary gasped in shock.
"Where did you get this?" She asked her.
"From that wretched old woman’s room", Felicia replied. "Who would have thought that she had a phone all this time when it was well known to be forbidden", she added.
"But you have to take it back, what if she starts looking for it? That woman might kill you when she finds out that you have taken her phone, Felicia. You have to keep it back", Mary tried to persuade her.
"No, mom. Now that we have a phone, we can call for someone who could help us to escape from here", Said Felicia.
"But keeping the phone with you is very risky, you would get into trouble for it not only with Madam Laura but with the warden if she sees the phone in your hands".
"Not if we don’t hide it well", said Felicia before keeping the phone back inside her brazier.
