"Eh? Where's Anthony? I can't see him anywhere."Carrie Wagner, the wife of Mr. Mullen Sr.'s second son asked. Clearly, she brought Anthony's name up on purpose.Jane could tell that Carrie kept targeting Anthony at the banquet earlier.However, judging by his background, Anthony was the least favorable heir in the Mullen family. Jane just could not figure out why Carrier would be so afraid that Anthony would take the wealth of the Mullen family away from her husband.After giving it some thought, Carrie said, "Anthony... went to send the guests home."Lydia Hart, the wife of Mr. Mullen Sr.'s third son chuckled. "Each and every person here today are all high-profile individuals. I'm sure that all of them have their own chauffeur. There's no need for him to do that.""I guess he probably went to have some fun with that cheap woman," Carrie took the opportunity to say."What? Are you sure he left with that woman? Doesn't he know that it's dad's birthday today? Anthony hasn't even
At that moment, Lea did not feel like struggling anymore. She wanted Anthony to just choke her to death.However, she changed her mind after remembering the baby inside her.She lifted her hand in pain and beat Anthony's arm.Her face was starting to turn purple because she could not breathe.Lea's felt like her heart sank to the bottom of freezing water when she saw the horrible look on that furious man's face.The man suddenly yelled and loosened his grip on Lea's neck when Lea thought that she was going to die in his hands.Lea immediately lie on the ground and started coughing violently while gasping for air.She coughed so hard, that her eyes became teary, and her stomach hurt.Anthony dragged her and threw her on the bed before she could even catch a break.She looked at the man, and Anthony was unbuttoning his shirt slowly.Lea was terrified and distressed as a flood of tears gushed down her cheeks.Then, she spoke in a brittle voice that sounded fearful and deary. At
That figure appeared in front of Kisa again and stood in her way.She backed off in fear. Then, she turned around and found out that the figure had not moved at all.The chilly atmosphere gradually surrounded Kisa and her scalp tingled.She stared at the two figures that looked exactly the same anxiously and asked in a shaky voice, "W-Who are you?"Neither of the figures responded to her.Instead, they started to get closer.The figures approached her from both sides.An identical figure would appear in front of her no matter which direction she ran in.In the end, she was surrounded by several figures.The longer Kisa looked at those women's' long hair and unearthly appearances, the more creeped out she felt.She folded her arms tightly around her body nervously. She turned around and shook her head desperately, begging them, "Don't come near me. Who are you? Get away from me..."The figures seemed like spirits looking for revenge as they approached her slowly.Suddenly, a
'Did this woman lose her memory or has she forgotten everything that happened since she's too tired?'Kisa was the one who had hugged him as if he was a bolster as soon as he came back and slept on the bed last night.Besides, she even opened her eyes drowsily and said, "You're back. I don't have to be scared now."However, Gilbert could not figure out why Kisa asked him such a question.'Did she experience a blackout, or did she mistake me for somebody else?'Ugh!' He suddenly felt angry at the thought.Gilbert pursed his lips and walked toward her.His face was stone-cold and his shirt was fully buttoned. It made him look harsh and indifferent."I came back around two last night and I woke up at seven this morning.""Oh..." Kisa nodded. She could not help but shiver after reminding herself of that nightmare she just had.She would have nightmares occasionally, but the one she just had was just too spine-chilling.Besides, she felt like something was pinning her down too. T
Gilbert looked at the mirror subconsciously and found out that there was a huge "DIE" written in red on the mirror.At first glance, it looked like it had been written in blood.Kisa was so scared, that her face turned pale.She took off her clothes and went to take a shower as soon as she got inside just now and did not notice what was on the mirror at all.Her scalp tingled after she noticed it.'Turns out I wasn't imagining things when I struggled and heard somebody laughing creepily beside me.'It was real that somebody came into my room and wrote that on the mirror in the bathroom.'Who is that person?What have I done to them?Why are they doing this?'Gilbert patted her back reassuringly and said in a low voice, "Wait outside. I'll have a look at it."Kisa nodded uneasily. Then, she turned around and left the bathroom.She had not yet gotten over the nightmare she just had, yet she saw the horrifying word in the mirror. Her limbs felt cold from fear.She went back t
Gilbert did not feel like explaining himself any further after seeing Kisa's emotionless face.'Whatever. I can't control what she thinks. It's not the first time she's acted like this anyway.'He did not wipe the word off the mirror because he wanted the Mullens to see it.All the Mullens gathered at the living during noontime.The sons of Mr. Mullen Sr. and their wives stood at different sides.Arthur and Jane stood behind Mr. and Mrs. Mullen Sr.All of their faces looked very serious, and the atmosphere felt extremely tense.Carrie was the one who spoke first as she smiled at Kisa pretentiously. "Mrs. Kooper, did you offend somebody recently, so they're coming after you?"Gilbert sat on the sofa while hugging Kisa.He looked relaxed as he spoke in a scornful manner, "Are you saying that even though the Mullen residence is huge, the security system here is crappy? Any person could get in here in broad daylight, and I can't even imagine what would happen at night. I guess som
"No... Don't say that. It's impossible for Anthony to do that. He just came back this morning, and how would he have the time to do it?"Kisa stared at Anthony.'Is it true that he only came back this morning? I have no idea if spent the night with Lea. What did he do to her?'"Heh heh. Jane, you should just stop defending him. I'm sure Mrs. Kooper looked at him because she thinks that he's the one who did it." Carrie smiled coldly.Lydia said, "It's got to be him. After all, none of us have a problem with Mrs. Kooper. There's no reason for us to do that."Kisa looked away from him and said flatly, "It's not him."Everybody was shocked by what Kisa said.Anthony looked at her confusedly.Kisa did not say that because she was trying to get Anthony out of trouble, but she really thought that he wasn't the culprit.Anthony was a ruthless person, and he would never pull such a harmless prank on her if he had really wanted to hurt her.And it just could not be the other people in
"You spent the entire night yesterday outside because of that cheap woman. Didn't you remember that it was my birthday?"Mr. Mullen Sr. was clearly mad.Anthony bowed his head down. He stood there without saying anything.Jane quickly tried to defend him, "You're misunderstanding him. He wasn't with any cheap woman at all last night. He had something important to take care of."Mr. Mullen Sr. scoffed and ignored Jane as he stared at Anthony with his sharp eyes.Anthony clenched his fists tightly. Then, he looked at Mr. Mullen Sr. and said, "Dad, why would I even want to be with a woman like that? I have no idea why all of you are so worried. I'm just playing with her."Kisa squinted angrily.'I knew that Lea fell in love with the wrong man.'However, Lea just can't leave this man no matter what. I don't even know what I can do anymore to convince that silly woman.'"David, where are you?! David..."Kisa heard somebody yelling loudly from the yard when she was still thinking t
