As 7.00 PM rolled by, the street lights flicked on.
Jordan drove off with a stoic Seth in the backseat.
“Mr. Seth, Madam only wanted to spend time with you.”

that she truly had a right to be wary.
“It’s a huge place, several thousand square feet. She couldn’t possibly take up

Seth shot him a look and unhappily pursed his lips before pressing his finger
against the door lock.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
“Fingerprint not recognized,” the door lock chimed unforgivingly.
“Hah,” Seth scoffed.
Jordan scratched his nose awkwardly. “Miss Symons probably changed the
lock code and fingerprint registry.”
Seth’s lips twisted into a smirk.

He knocked again. Once more, they received no answer.
“Miss Symons might not be home,” he suggested.
Seth frowned and walked over to look at the exterior electrical box. “She’s
inside.”
“Keep knocking,” he continued.
“Yes.”
Isabella lay in the bathtub, slowly sinking into the hot water. After being
wound up tightly for so long, her brain instantly fell asleep the moment she
started to relax.
Why is it so difficult to breathe here? Her chest felt heavy, as if something
was weighing her down. For some reason, she just couldn’t open her eyes.
Her head felt dizzy as her body refused to respond to her brain.

What’s happening?

Her eyes snapped open abruptly. She choked on the water that had gone up
her nostrils, causing her to spit out bubbles.
Dazedly, she crawled out of the water with a loud splash.
Had she fallen asleep?
Fear struck her, causing her mind to go blank as she registered what had just
happened. She sat in the bathtub for several long moments, lost in her
thoughts.

There was a commotion outside.

She snapped back to reality, hastily putting on the robe she had brought with
her into the bathroom.
Jordan had told her that Seth would never be here. So, she was wary and
worried that it might be someone with ill intentions. Thus, she put on another
robe hanging in the closet, attempting to cover herself up.
But the knocking never ceased. If anything, it seemed that whoever was
causing such a ruckus was growing impatient.
She jogged out of the bedroom and through around seven to eight rooms.

When she peeked through the peephole, she found herself met with Jordan’s
expressionless face. Is that Seth?
Now on guard, she clutched the robes to her chest. Then, she cautiously
