Jean Mitchell pushed open the door. It was pitch-dark inside, but she could still vaguely make out the luxurious decoration.“Anne, Anne…” she called out the name of her best friend, Anne Garrison, but there was no response.‘Where is she? Didn’t she say she wanted to give me a wedding gift?’The room was too dark. As she was about to find the switch on the wall, a hand, the palm of which felt fiery hot, grabbed her wrist.“Who is it?” she screamed.That hand pulled her forward with force, causing her to tumble. The next moment she knew it, someone had pinned her to the floor.She panicked but could see nothing in the dark. All she could know was that it was a man.“Go away! Who are you? Let me go!” she screamed.“I can give you everything you want.”The suppressed voice of the man came. His skin felt so hot that as if it could burn.He was too strong for her. She was like a helpless kiddy.The room was completely dark. Like the mouth of a giant beast, he swallowed her event

The glass vase shattered with a crunch.The ruthless look on Jean’s face scared the hell out of Selena, who covered her mouth and dared not utter a cry.Patrick stumbled to the ground, hands on the head as with blood oozing out through the gaps of his fingers. He felt the world spun around him.Jean dropped the broken glass vase. “Why the hell did you do? Didn’t you know me in the first place? You took me for a ride and treated me like your ATM. Now you try to shift the blame? Patrick, did you underestimate me, or were you too confident of yourself?”Selena sobbed as she helped Patrick up. “You lunatic, Jean. Who gave you the right to use violence?”Jean’s eyes reddened with anger. “Shut up! Or else, you will be next!”It again scared Selena.Jean pointed at Patrick. “I don’t care now. You had better show up at the wedding tomorrow and don’t humiliate me. Or else, I will post the video on the Internet.”They thought that was all of it. But Jean was secretly planning to give the

The call got through and Anne quickly said, “I am sorry, Jean. I sent you the wrong hotel name. Did you go there last night?”“Where were you last night?” Jean’s voice was icy.“Grand and Grande are only one alphabet apart. I just found out I sent you the wrong hotel name. I slept in the hotel all night and woke up angry because you didn’t come. I didn’t know that I was the one being stupid.” Anne sounded as if she was upset with herself.Jean was not sure if she could believe Anne. But she must let no one find out what happened last night.She clenched her hands into fists, her fingernails digging into the skin of her palms as she tried to calm herself down. “I had something on last night, so I didn’t go.”Anne breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. It was my fault, Jean. Please don’t be angry with me.”“It’s all right.”“Wait for me. I will go to you now. It is your wedding this evening, and I am your bridesmaid—I don’t want to be late.”“Okay.”Anne put down the phone. An

The color on Selena’s face changed from pale to red, and from red to green, and then back again.People were pointing fingers at her. She was disheartened as she started to see her route to stardom waning. ‘I had got to save myself,’ she thought.She thought of the message she received on the phone. Gritting her teeth, she got to her feet and retaliated. “Who do you think you are? Didn’t you fool around with men all this while? What right do you have to lecture us?”She rushed up to Jean and pulled the beaded tassel shawl off her shoulders to expose all the love bites that Jean was so desperate to cover up in front of the cameras. Every adult at the scene could quickly tell what those marks were about.This time, there was a bigger uproar. All eyes and cameras were on Jean.Anne’s hands and feet were trembling because of excitement, her eyes bursting with euphoria. She knew that this was the most exciting moment that her mom had talked about.Jean was the most famous actress and

The corner of Anne’s mouth turning up with a queer look on her face. But it was just for a second before she put up a bashful face.Jean did not notice that fleeting weird smile. “You have a boyfriend?” She asked.Anne nodded shyly. “Uh-huh, we started just recently. When I have time, I will introduce him to you so that you can check him out for me.” “Absolutely.”She held Jean’s hand. “I will always be there for you, no matter what happens.”Jean’s heart softened. She was independent and strong. But when someone was willing to stand by her, she still felt touched. “Thank you, Anne.”“Don’t mention that. You are my best friend, remember?” Anne smiled.The kind of best friend who could not wait to see her dead.Past midnight. Club Elegance.Etan heard a scream when he stepped into the room.Jason Moss waved excitedly at him. “You have got to see this, bro. This chick is so wild. I like her.”“You like her? Not a chance, man. If I were Patrick Mills and had such a hot girlfri
