“Charlie.” Selena gritted her teeth angrily. However, Charlie ignored her and continued to mock her loudly into the microphone, “Should I ask Mr. Cillian to introduce you to a waitressing job? You’d earn a few hundred a month!”
At that moment, Selena was so humiliated that she walked toward her bag and picked it up before hastily taking her leave, while Charlie continued to curse at her from behind, “You shameless b*tch, why are you still pretending to be all high and mighty?
You ignored me when I helped you, and now you’re planning to use me as a stepping stone? If you think you can marry a rich man with your status, dream on! I want all your friends to know what sort of person you are.”
Trembling, Selena walked toward the entrance of the villa. Her pride and arrogance had been tossed away and stomped all over that night.
Once Selena was outside, the guard told her that she had to walk a mile down the road to catch a cab. Instantly, she despaired, but she didn’t want to stay here for even a second longer, so she was forced to keep walking along the streetlights with her bag in hand, traveling down the empty road as if she were a ghost.
“Ahh!” She broke down and let out a scream before covering her face and crying, feeling. sorrow like she had never felt before. Her life was completely ruined.
Walking until her legs felt as if they were going. to break, she finally made it out. She left with nothing, yet she’d given up her body like a fool. Heading to a pharmacy, she bought a box of pills and swallowed it on the bench outside the shop alone. And yet, her feelings were far more bitter than the pills, and her night was practically a living nightmare.
Ellen, you did this to me! I hate you!
At midnight, Ellen was sleeping when her phone suddenly rang, startling her out of her slumber. After she hurriedly fumbled for her phone, she turned it on and saw an unknown number.
Ellen picked it up and asked, “Hello? Who’s this?”
Suddenly, a harsh female voice roared at her from the other end, “Ellen Reiss, I won’t let you rest easy! You will get your retribution, you vicious woman!”
As soon as the woman’s howl came to an end, an eerie and haunting tune sounded. Upon hearing this in the middle of the night, Ellen nearly threw her phone away in fear. Fortunately, she quickly switched on the lights and hung up the call.
She thought to herself that someone must have played a prank on her, and as this person had called out her name, it was obvious that they were someone who knew her well.
Her face was a little ashen, and she was still somewhat fearful. After all, anyone else would be greatly shaken if they received such a call in the middle of the night. She exhaled and took a couple of deep breaths before deciding not to pay attention to them. They must be someone harboring bad intentions, so why should she be bothered?
Just then, Ellen’s phone chimed again with a notification tone, and her phone rang continuously as if she was receiving many text messages at once.
She picked up her phone angrily and opened the text messages, only to throw her phone away in fright. On her phone, there was nothing but harrowing pictures of corpses or ghosts that made her heart race.
Ellen began to gasp for air. She had always been terrified of the paranormal, and this person managed to send her the pictures she was afraid of the most. Who the hell is this? She looked at the phone and hugged herself tightly before taking a look at the clock. It was two in the morning.
There was still some time before dawn, but she couldn’t sleep at all even if she wanted to. Her mind was filled with the pictures she had just seen, and her body was even covered in a cold sweat. With the lights turned on, she drew the bed cover before hiding herself underneath, feeling tormented.
Meanwhile, Selena received a message from the hotel as well. ‘Miss Aguirre, I’m already doing my job. Don’t worry, in less than a week, that girl will lose her mind.’
‘Better yet, make her go insane and drive her into the psychiatric ward,’ she replied viciously.
She had hired someone to frighten Ellen, which was the same tactic someone in her university had used in the past to scare a perfectly normal girl into psychosis and a lifetime of medication, leaving her in a tragic state.
