Aveline had no idea how much time had passed when she heard the door open again. She sat motionless on the floor. The footsteps stopped just a short distance in front of her, and she could feel a gaze bearing down on her.
It wasn’t Wanda.
Her voice was raspy as she asked, "Who are you?"
After a brief pause, an electronic voice responded, "You haven't eaten dinner, and neither has Annie. If you don't drink water, she won't either."
Aveline's breath hitched, her voice hoarse with defiance, "How ridiculous. Do you think you can threaten me like this? My biggest regret is dragging myself into this mess for her!"
There was no reply from the other side. The air became heavy with silence.
After a long while, Aveline slowly stood up, feeling her way around, searching for something.
"What are you trying to do?" the electronic voice inquired, grabbing her arm firmly.
"I need to use the bathroom," Aveline croaked out.
The person guided her in a direction, and she didn’t resist. When they reached the doorway, she said, "If you want to be kind, fix my eyes and let me go."
The person remained silent, releasing her arm.
Aveline gave a mocking smile, entered the bathroom, and locked the door behind her. She felt her way around, trying to familiarize herself with the environment. After some effort, she finally found the toilet. Her face turned pale, filled with frustration.
How did she end up like this? Who was this person?
Whoever they were, if she ever found out, she wouldn’t let them get away with it!
She lingered in the bathroom for nearly an hour, getting accustomed to the surroundings before venturing out again. She began to pace back and forth in the room, feeling her way around.
With nothing but darkness before her, she felt lost, unable to adjust, with only an overwhelming sense of fear.
The person chuckled—a distorted sound that sent a chill down her spine.
“I was just thinking… if you don’t care about him anymore, why not come with me?” he said, grabbing Aveline's hand and dragging her in another direction.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Aveline cried out in shock, struggling to free herself.
But she was quickly thrown onto a bed, the mattress soft and bouncy. Her body jolted as she landed, and immediately, she felt someone pressing down on her!
“Get off, get away!” Aveline’s face was filled with fear.
She kicked and scratched frantically, trying to keep him from touching her.
She hadn’t felt much fear before, but now, she was utterly terrified!
“So, you still care about Lucas, don’t you?” the man said, his grip tightening on her wrists, pinning her down and preventing her from moving.
