"You'll find out when it gets dark," Grim said. "Oh, I wonder if you're afraid of ghosts. I'll take you to meet some later."Amy looked horrified when she heard his words. "What the hell are you talking about? There's no such thing as ghosts."She had been afraid of the dark since she was a child, so she dared not watch thriller movies, let alone supernatural films. Right now, she was worried that these men might bring her and Magaret into a haunted house.Then, the sun began to set, dyeing the sky red. Soon, the sky turned dark.A man put out his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it. He asked, "It's almost time, guys. Should we get ready now?""Let's do this."Amy and Margaret were petrified. Since the men had kidnapped them and waited until night to take action, they were definitely up to no good. Were they going to kill them after taking advantage of them?Margaret was so terrified that she couldn't walk at all. She had even wet herself.However, Amy was some
Margaret felt sorry for her precious daughter and wanted to hug her, but her limbs were bound. She couldn't move at all and could only remain on her knees. "Don't be afraid, Amy," she said. "I'm here with you. I'm always on your side."Amy cried even harder. "Mom. Mom, I see a light in the distance. Are we about to die now?"Margaret glanced at it and said comfortingly, "No, Amy. Don't look at it."…The leader chuckled, "Let's go, guys. We shouldn't stop them from atoning their sins."After that, the four men passed through the densely packed graves toward the exit of the cemetery. They heard the pitiful cries of the two women behind them, along with a few hoots of the owls from time to time. The noises sounded scary in the empty suburbs. Even the four men felt chills run down their spines.Grim cursed, "Fuck! I wouldn't have dared to do this job if that lady hadn't paid me so much. This is so fucking scary."The four men couldn't help but quicken their pace.Meanwhile, a
For Margaret, all those cries sounded like they belonged to Elizabeth. Elizabeth had come to seek revenge!Margaret was scared out of her wits. "Don't come here! Stay away! You're the one who didn't drive properly. You can't blame me for that. Get away!" she rambled.Amy hurriedly shouted, "Stop talking, Mom! She's coming!"Then, Margaret fainted in fear in front of Elizabeth's grave."Mom! Mom, wake up! Don't leave me alone!" Amy trembled, sweating all over. Since Margaret had fainted, the ghost was probably after her now.She mustered the courage to look in the direction of the wails, but there was only darkness in the distance.…Thaddeus had already led the team to drain the artificial lake in the neighborhood. When they didn't find anything in the lake, he was relieved.He was sure that Amy had tricked Clara so she could run away. Clara believed she had fallen into the water, making everyone think so as well.Now, Thaddeus composed himself and thought about things. Amy wa
The security room was filled with loud snores. The two new security guards were still sleeping soundly, unaware of what had happened. Jordan had to knock on the door several times before they woke up."Check the surveillance tapes," Thaddeus ordered.Jordan turned on the computer and found the correct timeframe of the tapes. However, they could only see static. "Mr. Holt, the footage has been destroyed. I can't find anything."Thaddeus narrowed his eyes and went out to look for Amy. They brought a few bodyguards with him, and Jordan led them into the cemetery to conduct a full-scale search.As Thaddeus stood at the entrance, he looked at his surroundings. He wondered where the thugs could have hidden Amy. Where on earth did those two men take her?If this were a plain kidnapping, they would've called him for money. However, he hadn't gotten any calls. The thought of the thugs killing Amy without giving her a chance to survive was what he feared the most. In that case, it would
Thaddeus remembered Jessamine's depressed yet furious disposition at the hospital and how she and Shane had accused Amy of doing something she didn't. And just like that, Thaddeus had some clue about what had happened.Jessamine was definitely capable of resorting to such ruthless yet harmless revenge plans that mentally tortured the victims.He thought he had married a docile woman, but recently, he had seen her true colors. She was a kitten with claws and couldn't be trifled with.Amy had already passed out. Thaddeus picked her up and walked toward the exit. Amy and Margaret had to be spooked after staying there with their limbs bound all night.Even though he didn't see any wounds on Amy, he still decided to bring her to the hospital for a checkup. After all, she was pregnant."Bring them to the hospital for now." Thaddeus walked in front with Amy in his arms. Behind him, the bodyguards stood awkwardly around Margaret. She was filthy after soiling her pants the day before. Th
Thaddeus drove to the hospital and carried Amy straight to the OB-GYN department to get her treated. Then, some doctors conducted a full body checkup on Amy. Amy had just experienced some shock, so the doctor recommended she stay in the hospital to ensure that her baby was unharmed. She was mostly fine, apart from minor injuries on her knees, rope marks on her arms, and wounds on her face.After making sure Amy didn't have major problems, Thaddeus sighed in relief. He had finally found her. He had spent the entire day riddled with anxiety, but at least things weren't as bad as he thought.Amy was still sleeping. After asking Jordan to keep watch, he went to the inpatient building. He had to ask Jessamine what was going on. When he arrived outside Jessamine's ward, she had already completed the procedures to be discharged and was packing her things.Jessamine saw him come in, but she ignored him and continued to pack her things awkwardly with her bandaged hands. Since she was fin
Thaddeus' words scared Colin into backing down. "Of course, I won't. I'm sure you have a way to deal with that felon."In the ward, Amy was still yelling that someone was clawing her stomach. After a checkup, the doctor explained, "Ms. Quilton must have experienced some kind of shock, causing her uterus to contract from the tension. This isn't good for the baby. We must do something to calm her down."Thaddeus nodded in approval. "Do what you have to, but make sure that nothing happens to her."After an injection, Amy calmed down and fell back asleep on the bed.On the other hand, Margaret had already lost her mind. She was talking nonsense and ignoring anyone who tried to talk to her. Her eyes were unfocused, and her hair was a mess. But at least she had put on a clean hospital gown, so she no longer smelled bad.Thaddeus simply glanced at her in disgust. This ward was a single VIP ward. However, since Colin arrived with Margaret on short notice, the hospital had no vacant
Jessamine returned to her home and changed her clothes before going to the cemetery in the suburbs. Zade had told her that Elizabeth's grave had been repaired, but she wanted to see it with her own eyes to be sure.She took a cab there with a heavy heart, thinking about Margaret and Amy's rabid actions toward Elizabeth. Even if Jessamine had gotten her revenge on her own terms, she still felt she had disappointed her mother.She believed that it was her fault that her mother suffered such humiliation. If it hadn't been for a certain man, she wouldn't have earned the ire of Margaret and Amy.The cab stopped outside the cemetery, and she told the driver to wait for her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to hail a cab when she was ready to leave.Jessamine got out of the car and walked to the entrance. A uniformed man came out of the security room to greet him. She had been coming here for the past two days, so the security already knew her. "I'll go with you, Ms. Patton."Jessamine
