Diana

While Diana was rejoicing her freedom, Shane just began having a taste of bondage.

He told himself he needed to stay and convince Austin to help, but he realizes the dude isn't as easy as he thought.

The few days he spent in the hotel were unbearable for him. He didn't feel so good, sleeping alone without Stella beside him.

His mind was always with her and it's hard to keep his eyes closed. He wished he had someone giving him info about what she has been doing where she is right now. He felt restless.

With that unsettled heart, he decided to return to the country. He couldn't take it anymore, he wants her by his side.

It was the day to leave the country. Shane, along with his boys prepared their departure and was seen boarding a plane.

He booked the VIP, while his boys took the ordinary one. Immediately the plane took off, he started feeling uncomfortable.

His stomach shiver like he light hearted being witnessing a gruesome scene. He adjusted in his seat and looked around him. He looked up and switched off the air conditioning above him, but the ones above the other VIP passengers still penetrated to where he sat.

Unfortunately for him, it's poison and not just a sickness that manifested its way in, by being spread out on the Street like Diana, when she's supposed to be in her mother's arms, receiving warmth and getting fed.

"Excuse me, can I have a blanket please? I have health issues and can't handle the chilly atmosphere." Shane said politely to an air hostess who was passing by. He felt scared with the way he's feeling.

"I will be right back sir." the hostess said and walked away.

Shane breathing get heavier as he kept rubbing his palms together. He was putting on a black trousers and a dark blue shirt, with a black jacket on top.

Apparently he hasn't realize the gravity of his sickness and still dressed gorgeously.

He kept looking back and awaiting the hostess return, making the passenger giving him a weird look. They were on alert wondering if they are safe with the way he's acting.

Shane didn't understand when he returned his gaze back to his thigh while he wished his boys were by his side, so he could command them to go make the lady hurry up.

He felt something moving inside him like he swallowed a living creature. Before he knew it, he couldn't feel his thumbs anymore.

He wondered if it's as serious as Austin said. He told him his body wasn't in good shape before the injection, so there's a high chance of having paralysis stroke.

'Did I just lost my thumb to this bullshit?' he felt enraged and wondered how this is different from the heat. "If I get a hold of that bastard, I'm going to make sure she didn't escape death this time." he muttered in between gritted teeth.

"Here sir." He heard the hostess voice and snapped his head towards her direction, almost flashing her a glare.

He took the blanket from her and covered himself up, while lifting up his toes to feel his thumbs, after removing his shoes. He hit his finger on the thumbs and couldn't feel anything. He felt scared once again.

'What exactly is going on here?' he asked in his head as he kept moving weirdly under the cover.

Someone was already discussing with the hostess about him, asking if he's up to something. Most are important figure with some with the same personality as his.

The hostess apologized and went to Shane's seat. "Excuse me sir, is everything alright?" she asked, wanting him to pull the cover and say something, so the others who are currently staring at them right now will feel at ease.

Shane cursed in his head before pulling the cover. Normally, he would act mighty but right now, he couldn't even understand himself. Everything just seem weird.

He couldn't believe a whole him can get to be in this condition. Of course he would also complain if he were in their shoes, so he couldn't place blame.

The hostess was shocked by his pale appearance within a few minutes she passed him a cover and went to answer to the complainer's call.

"Sir, do you have any requests? are you okay?" she asked, but despite how worrisome it sounded, it's actually a professional thingy.

She's worried if it's something that could affect the others and their business. Maybe a bit concerned about him, but it's all for business.

"Shane wanted to talk but felt his teeth freezing. He wondered if those words are gonna come out fine. He gave an awkward smile which made the hostess worry more.

One of the passengers stood up and walked towards them. He was a man about the same age as Shane. Without paying much attention to Shane, he faces the hostess, "Is he alright?" he asked.

Is he alright, in the sense that, are they safe? Shane understand quite well what he meant. He forced himself to speak up.

"It's the cold, everything is fine." he said in a shivering tone.

The man realize he's indeed suffering from cold and asked the hostess to doubled his blanket and get him something hot to help relieve the cold.

After saying that, he returned to his seat, while the hostess went to prepare what was requested.

Shane couldn't take it anymore and began shivering nonstop, his entire body giving in to the poison. Before he knew it, he fell off his seat and his body started jerking on the floor.

He regretted the fact that he didn't allow his boys in here with him, but those were earlier thoughts. Can he even think now?

He recalled hearing voices, probably the passengers asking if he's alright or it's his delusional thought, but when he finally woke up, he was already laying on a hospital bed.

His vision was a bit blurry, but when he managed to open his eyes clearly, he saw the worried expression his boys who were standing beside him had on.

He felt scared, as he's not sure about the parts of his body that has suffered the paralysis.
