章 299: 299- Ghost

When the metal door was slammed shut behind her, the clanking sound kept ringing in her ears. Watching reality-based crime shows used to be fun for her.

Now she felt like criminals somehow decided to take revenge on her.

Heaving a sigh, she walked ahead and sank to the edge of the bed, gripping the rough blanket as everything that just happened to her started sinking in.

She was in a cell. She was arrested.

Nina's betrayal.

Marissa's unexpected change of fate.

Oh, God! She kneeled on the floor and joined her palms, closing her eyes, "Please make it all disappear," she murmured, "Please, God! Send someone to save me. If you are there… if you exist, please send help."
