Chapter 358
âWas it all just a dream?â she thought. âThatâs right. It must be.â
She sat up and was about to go to the bathroom when she noticed something in the corner of her eye.
She froze at the sight of a demon mask next to her bed and felt her blood run cold.
Just then, her phone on the nightstand vibrated, and she unlocked it to find an unread message.
[Are you coming to me tonight, or should I come to you?]
All strength was instantly drained from her, and she started shivering.
Since she had not replied to the message, the phone started ringing. She felt numb as she stared at
the number on the screen.
The call was automatically dropped sometime later, and the screen turned black.
A few minutes later, the screen lit up again, but she had not answered any of the calls.
She remained frozen in place and ignored the relentless ringing of her phone.
She did not know how long had passed, but the phone eventually stopped ringing.
Knock, knock!
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and she heard Nanny Patersonâs voice from outside the door.
âMissus Hart, are you awake?â
Vicky snapped out of her dazed state and turned to look at the door. âWhat is it, Nanny Paterson?â she
asked hoarsely.
âMister Hart just called you, but you didnât pick up. He was worried and wanted me to check on you.â
After a few moments of silence, Vicky shouted through the door, âIâm fine, Nanny Paterson.â
Relieved, Nanny Paterson said, âRemember to call Mister Hart back, then.
Heâs worried sick about you.â
âSureâ¦â
Nanny Paterson left afterward, and Vicky sat on the bed for a while longer before picking her phone up
from the floor with a blank look in her eyes.
There were a lot of missed calls; three from the masked man and three from Tyler.
Vicky stared at her phone bitterly and ignored the unknown number to call Tyler.
The call was answered right away. âVicky.â
Tears scrolled down her face at the sound of Tylerâs familiar voice.
âYeah,â she murmured. âIâm sorry. Iâve just woken up, so I didnât hear my phone ringing.â
After a brief moment of silence, Tyler asked, âWhatâs wrong with your voice? Have youâ¦been crying?â
