Lucy Wells was so terrified that her heart nearly stopped beating.
Various horrific events quickly flashed through her mind: being strangled, dismembered... The more she thought about it, the colder Lucy's body felt.
She was not even thirty, her career was just beginning to flourish, and she had just started to provide a better life for her mom and grandma. She didn't want to die.
Tears uncontrollably welled up, grievance somehow surpassing fear.
The man put Lucy's phone to his ear and said, "Don't call the police. I'm just looking to crash at your friend's place for a night. Obey, otherwise..."
"Obey your head!" came a direct scolding from the other end of the phone, "Kai Bright, are you out of your mind?"
The man stiffened, incredulously shouting into the phone, "Sophie?"
"Damn it, how could it be you?" Kai Bright was utterly shocked, it was unbelievably unexpected, okay?
