Arabella’s anxiety rose up immediately. The warm water in the tub became so cold that she could froze. She had felt that the air inside her body was almost running out.  She tried to gather all her wits, she took a deep breath and replied to the person on the other line.

“Who are you? Sorry but I don’t have time for this prank call.” Though her hands were shaking, Arabella tried to compose herself.

“If you want to know the truth, go to Hardley Café at 2:00 p.m. sharp. Do not forget to come alone and don’t you ever call the police or else you won’t like what’s gonna happen next.” The mystery caller with a distorted voice clearly ordered.

Goosebumps. Lots of goosebumps. Arabella had never felt so nervous like this. She felt her hand that was holding the telephone was restlessly shaking. She then held it with her other hand to stop the trembling and calmed down. This kind of suspense in her life, was

Her heart was racing fast.“What about the bad news?” Though she was not so prepared to hear the bad news, she gathered her courage to overcome her fear and nervousness that invaded her whole being.“We didn’t find any fingerprint on the earring. It was clean. It seems that the person who gave you this had carefully planted the evidence or to what his purpose it maybe. That we still have to found out. So, if you have any information about this person, by any chance, if this person would call you, you should inform us immediately.” Officer Jackson with voice ful

    Arabella just lowered her head. She couldn’t face him for she knew her asking for money was too off. She was not the kind of person but with her situation, she had left with no choice. Judging from Bill’s action, she knew Bill had misinterpreted her. Who cares? She needed the money to find the person who was behind in her father’s attempted killing. Too bad, her character would be very bad in Bill’s eyes.“So, tell me, you didn’t leave me last night because you wanted that money?” The playful smile he was wearing earlier instantly vanished in the air. Admittedly, he expected too much of this girl in front of him. She saved his life last night and he thought that was all because of her genuine kindness. Guess he was wrong. That was his first time to appreciate a woman not by her beauty but with her inner side but it seemed his first time was not a good experience.“Yes.” She put all her courage to reply
