Sarah was shocked, and she didn't expect who would have sent her such a text message.

Just then she received a notification. It was a photo sent from that same number. She quickly picked it up and opened it. It was a picture of her and her mother leaving the underground bar.

Her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. “What?” she exclaimed. “Who is this? This person definitely knows my movement.” I muttered silently.

She quickly dialled the number, and the number picked up, “Hello, who are you?” she shouted at the top of my voice.

It was Marina that was at the other end of the line. She chuckled lightly and laughed silently on the other end of the phone.

She knew she had touched Sarah’s weak point. Immediately she hung up.

Marina paced around the room thinking about how to get to Sarah and make her do whatever she needed.
