Chapter 18: Chapter 18

The sun had not risen from the east and the sky was still dark. Everything was still, not moving. No wind to blow the tree leaves. No movements of animals in any area.

In the morning, it was just the silence that embraced the surroundings as if everything had turned to stone.

"Aahh!!"

A desperate scream came from the villa. The scream alone shook everything to live, awakening everyone from their deep slumbers. Birds scattered in urgency, leaving their trees.

As light lit up the villa, a shadow appeared on the curtain, standing up hurriedly. The shadow grabbed something and hit someone near its feet. A yowl came shortly after that.

"Who are you?!” Jennet yelled and raised the bolster in her hands. “Get out! Get out!" She hit the long-haired man with it.
