[To continue "TRAïCiÓ "/Treason, the story of Paula]
Still breathless after enjoying the standing ovation, Núria is greeted behind the curtain by her favourite colleague with two glasses of champagne. But she does not take the glass offered by Helena.
‘Give me your glass,’ she demands.
‘How suspicious you are,’ Helena smilingly pouts, but takes back the rejected glass, hands Núria hers, takes the one Núria rejected and drinks it in one gulp.
‘Forgive me! How stupid of me to mistrust you.’ Núria laughs, drinks her glass in one gulp... stares at Helena with wide eyes ... the bouquet gliding from her hand ... and collapses ... dead ...
Helena needs to start watching her back now.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be in her shoes, anyway.
DeleteSi es que a veces hasta lo planeado se gira contra una misma. Me encantó tu continuación. Ahora yo he continuado la tuya, espero que te guste. Saludos
ReplyDeleteYour continuation, which I enjoyed very much, confirmed once again that all good things come in threes! ;-)
DeleteThank you, Nuria.
Això és tenir-ho tot previst! Fins i tot que la Núria desconfiaria!
ReplyDeleteAquesta Helena se les sap totes!
Hi ha testimonis… segur… a veure què passa…
Abraçades
I will definitely follow this scandalous case, Carme, as I am also very curious if there are any witnesses.
DeleteAbraçades!
Un bon truc aquest de canviar la copa... però ai si no hagués anat així, l'Helena no hagués sortit amb la seva...
ReplyDeleteMolt bo el relat.
Moltes gràcies per posar un final al meu relat!
Xin-xin, Sean!!! ;-)
I had four very different scenarios in mind, Paula, but ultimately decided in favour of this one. Thank YOU for inspiring me.
DeleteXin-xin!!! ;-)
Malgrat que crec que els plans perfectes no existeixen, s'ha d'admetre que l'Helena ho tenia tot molt ben pensat... fins a l'últim detall.
ReplyDeleteUna bona continuació del relat de na Paula, amb sorpresa inclosa. Felicitats!
Considering Helena's perfidy, I was appalled, dear Mac. ;-)
DeleteThanks for your kind com(pli)ment.
Una abraçada.
Un bon suspens fins al final, amic !. Tot i que et diré que, si per aquí a prop investiga el nostre amic McAbeu, la descobriran ben aviat ! hehehe.
ReplyDeleteBona setmana i una abraçada !.
;-) You're probably right, Artur. I'm also curious to see what Miss Marple... err... McAbeu will find out in this case.
DeleteGràcies, bona setmana i abraçades!
Hi Sean - yes ... one could see it coming ... good storytelling though - not for the nighttime ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteFor a moment, I thought about letting Sean, the stagehand who adores Núria, intervene at the last minute, so that you and all readers could fall asleep feeling relieved. ;-)
