"Could that be Dylan?" I questioned, my eyes darting between Grandma Adaline and the distant sound of the approaching vehicle. Uncertainty hung in the air as I couldn't tell who it was, unknown casting a shadow over our brief moment of respite.In response to my query, Grandma Adaline's expression remained unreadable, concern and anticipation flickering in her eyes. Before any of us could make a move, Sonia, ever the swift one, volunteered, "I'll go check quickly." With that, she dashed out of the room, leaving Grandma Adaline and me alone in a tense silence.Sensing the urgency of the situation, Grandma Adaline pressed the bundle of keys into my hands, her voice firm yet tinged with a hint of worry. "This particular one is the key you need, dear," she instructed, her words a lifeline in the midst of turmoil.With a determined nod, I clutched the key tightly, my resolve strengthening with each passing moment. "Let's go," Grandma Adaline declared, her voice a steady anchor in the storm
I frantically screamed for help, my voice echoing through the empty office. The sound of running footsteps outside my door sent shivers down my spine and I could tell even from within that what was happening was really tough, I haven't been in this situation before in my life. I grabbed my handkerchief and tied it around my nose to block out the acrid smell filling the room. Desperation set in as I scanned the room for anything that could help me escape."Think, think, think," I muttered to myself, my heart pounding in my chest. Then, my gaze landed on a sturdy chair in the corner. With newfound determination, I rushed towards it and raised it up, feeling its weight in my trembling hands.Breathing heavily, I made my way back to the door, adrenaline coursing through my veins. With a primal yell, I hurled the chair at the door, hoping to break through it at least. But to my dismay, the door remained intact, taunting me with its resilience."Come on, come on!" I urged, frustration and f
After concluding my conversation with Alex, the guy I hired, a twisted smile crept across my face, a chilling satisfaction dancing in my eyes. I casually set my phone down nearby, the device now a tool in this dark symphony of retribution that I had orchestrated.As I basked in the malevolent thoughts swirling in my mind, a sudden realization dawned upon me. The idea of witnessing Charlotte's anguish firsthand ignited a perverse thrill within me. If only I weren't confined to this hospital bed, it would have been a day to savor, a twisted celebration of my vindictive desires.Oh, the delight it would bring to witness her torment, to see her helpless and desperate, engulfed in the suffocating smoke, her cries for help silenced by the oppressive darkness. Imagining her struggles—her fear-stricken eyes losing their light, her voice reduced to a mere whisper—sent a shiver of perverse pleasure down my spine.Lost in my dark reverie, I couldn't help but revel in the thought of her suffering
The hospital room door creaked open, drawing my attention away from the screen in front of me. I glanced up to see Sonia's familiar face, a warm smile playing on her lips as she entered the room. "Why are you smiling, Allison?" she inquired, her expression filled with concern as she approached me."You should be furious about what Dylan is putting you through, keeping you cooped up in this hospital for so long," Sonia remarked, her voice tinged with a hint of indignation.I chuckled softly at her words, meeting her gaze with a calm demeanor. "Why should I be angry when I can still get what I want, even from right here?" I responded, quiet determination underlying my words.Sonia's eyes widened in surprise at my unwavering optimism, admiration, and disbelief crossing her face. She took a seat beside me."What do you mean?" Sonia's voice held a note of surprise as she questioned me, clearly taken aback by my earlier statement."You wouldn't understand, dear," I replied cryptically, with
Gripped by fear and desperation, I pushed my car to its limits, every ounce of strength propelling me forward. "Please be safe, Charlotte. Please be safe," I whispered fervently, my prayers a constant refrain in the chaos of my thoughts.As the road blurred beneath me, the unknown future pressed heavily on my chest. The mere thought of something happening to Charlotte sent shivers down my spine, a cold dread settling in the pit of my stomach. "I can't lose her. I can't," I muttered to myself, the words a fragile mantra against the looming threat.With each passing second, the distance to Rob-Glow seemed to stretch endlessly before me. The road ahead was a blur of lights and shadows, and my focus was solely on reaching Charlotte in time and ensuring her safety at all costs. As I screeched to a halt in front of Rob-Glow, my car door flew open with a jolt, my hands fumbling with the handle in my haste to get out. The scene before me sent a chill down my spine—firefighters and medical pe
Sitting in front of the CCTV monitor, my gaze fixed on Charlotte's unconscious form in her office, a cold determination settled over me. Despite her vulnerable state, I continued to pump smoke into her workspace, following Allison's chilling directive to make Charlotte endure a living nightmare. The twisted loyalty I felt towards Allison fueled my actions, driving me to carry out her best wishes without hesitation. She hasn't asked me for anything before, so I am willing to give her what she wants."I have loved Allison for so long, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to please her," I muttered to myself, the words laced with a disturbing sense of devotion as I intensified the assault of smoke on Charlotte's unconscious body. My heart hardened with each passing moment, a dark resolve consuming me as I sought to fulfill Allison's twisted desires at any cost.Not content with targeting Charlotte alone, I expanded my ruthless campaign, spreading the smoke to other areas of the compa
Standing in disbelief, I frantically rummaged through my bag, searching every pocket and crevice in a desperate attempt to find my missing ID card. The sinking feeling in my stomach deepened as I came up empty-handed, my heart pounding with anxiety."What the hell have I done?" I muttered to myself, frustration showing in my voice as I glanced back at the imposing Rob-Glow building looming in the distance. Memories flooded back as I retraced my steps, trying to pinpoint where I might have lost the crucial card.Suddenly, a realization struck me like a bolt of lightning. Recalling my visit to the bank before arriving at Rob-Glow, I pieced together the sequence of events in my mind. A surge of panic hit me as I connected the dots—it was highly likely that my ID card had slipped from my possession in the from the rush at the CCTV room."Holy shit..." I exclaimed, anger and dread in my voice as the gravity of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. The implications of losing my ID card
I scanned the bustling area, a sea of faces blurring into one another, a suffocating crowd with no discernible gaps. My heart raced as I glanced over my shoulder, only to see the stern faces of the police officers meticulously checking each person.The tension in the air was now serious more than I had expected."Everything alright?" a nearby stranger asked, noticing my anxious demeanor.I managed a weak smile, "Yeah, just looking for someone." My eyes darted back to the officers, who were now closing in on my location.The instinct to flee surged within me, and as I rose to my feet, ready to bolt in what seemed like the only viable direction, but then suddenly my plan crumbled. From that very way, a new wave of uniformed police emerged, their serious looks crackling with static as they coordinated seriously, looking around with efforts.Desperation clawed at my throat. I was now so shocked, quickly trying to seek an alternative escape route, but then I was again only met with yet ano
