Chapter 187: A Glimpse of Her Assailant

She was breathing fast and blinking rapidly to be able to see something in this darkness, a glimpse of her assailant or what he's doing in the darkness, just anything. Because the worst apart from not being able to do something in a situation like this, is not being able to see anything.
