After being released, Erica wandered outside to find some peace of mind before returning home. When she arrived home, it was already in the evening, and the sun was no longer scorching as it was at noon.As Erica opened the door and was about to step inside, Kora's mother immediately threw Erica's belongings out of the door and shouted at her to leave."Get out! Leave my house." The woman with black hair yelled and glared at Erica continuously, cursing her: "This is not a charity place to shelter you."After a moment of shock, Erica immediately glared at Kora's mother. Her anger boiled inside her."What are you doing?" Erica growled, questioning Mom Kora."Don't you see? Or are you blind?" Kora's mother sneered at Erica: "I'll say it one more time; get out of here right now.""What gives you the right to kick me out? This is my house. The ones who should leave are you and your daughter," Erica argued back loudly, her voice seething with anger, not backing down from the other woman.Con
Erica is carrying a great deal of pain and a broken heart, seeking a quiet place to find relief. She is now disoriented and unsure of where she is going. Her small body is curled up in a thin sweater, taking aimless steps through the bitter cold of winter. Erica appears very out of place in the crowd, feeling as though no one cares about her existence. Everyone hurries past Erica. There are some people who accidentally bump into Erica, causing her to fall onto the street. They quickly say sorry and then turn away, continuing on their journey. They don't care whether Erica is hurt or not. Actually, Erica wasn't in the mood to pay attention to her surroundings, let alone feel the scratches on her body.The man that Erica thought would be with her for a lifetime turned out to be cruel and threw her away just because of a few lies from another woman. Erica's two years of love were not strong enough to hold onto someone who had changed his heart.Looking back on what she had just been throu
Erica thoughtlessly ran into the forest in hopes of a successful escape. The forest path was difficult to navigate but provided ample hiding places. That was Erica's thinking when she made the decision. However, Erica forgot that she was alone, while the men were in a group of five. Not to mention, Erica didn't know that those guys seemed quite familiar with the forest, so their movement was much easier and less challenging than Erica's.The outcome was inevitable when Erica got lost and wandered aimlessly in the forest. And finally, the group successfully apprehended Erica with ease as soon as she realized she had become lost."Little girl, where are you going? You made us run all over the place looking for you. What are you going to do now? The consequences you have to bear are our punishment." One of the five men said it with a grin. Erica raised her head and found herself facing bad men. One of them reached out and touched her. Erica trembled and instinctively stepped back."Come h
Mrs. Lani was peacefully sleeping when she received a phone call. She had no intention of answering, but upon seeing the important number, she quickly picked up the phone."In the dead of night, why are you calling?" Mrs. Lani's voice sounded a bit annoyed."That girl is dead."She was taken aback for a moment, but then her face suddenly brightened. She smiled with great satisfaction upon hearing the news of Erica's misfortune."How did that happen?""She jumped into a ravine." The person on the other end lied: "When we were chasing her.""She jumped off the cliff." The guy on the other side lied: "While we were chasing her.""Well done. And what about that thing? Did you retrieve it?""We couldn't find anything like a memory card or USB. It might be on her person. It's probably damaged anyway.""Hmm.""Now, what should we do?""It's okay, you guys hide for a while, be careful in your actions, and don't let anyone find out.""We have been very cautious, ma'am.""Good."The phone call e
"I will go down there, and if you don't want to, you can stay up here." He declared firmly, "Or leave; it's up to you."Without waiting for you to reply, Ansel headed forward, finding his way down to where Erica was lying."Ansel. Don't be crazy. Leave this to the police," Kevin cried out, wanting Ansel to stop. But Ansel is stubborn. Once he's made up his mind, it's hard to sway him.Seeing Ansel getting further and further away from him, Kevin didn't want to become an emotionless person, so he let the instigation of the invisible force take effect."Ansel, slow down. Wait for me."Kevin called out while moving, chasing after Ansel.With relentless effort and relying on precise orientation, along with a little luck, Ansel stayed on the right track and arrived near Erica. As soon as he set foot in the muddy area, he ran quickly towards where the girl was lying.By the time Ansel approached Erica, Kevin had also arrived behind him. Being the one who cleared the way, Ansel's pace was slo
Erica fell into unconsciousness. In that coma, a struggle ensued within her mind. Erica desperately did not want to die; she was only twenty-four years old and had numerous dreams and unfinished endeavors. Oh my God, please don't let her die without being able to close her eyes. In the darkness, Erica found herself suspended in the air, devoid of any light penetrating through. Her entire body felt powerless, like a void. Was death truly like this? Should she find solace, end her accursed life, and depart peacefully, or should she lament the days spent in vain? Erica disapproved. Why was she treated in such a manner? Why did she always bear the weight of injustice upon herself? Why was she different from everyone else? She didn't desire that. What was wrong with being true to herself? Most people live counterfeit lives with one another to find happiness. Erica had often felt unsatisfied, yet she never complained about anything. But now she deeply resented the death-worthy fate bestowed
Wednesday arrived.Erica felt more at ease after receiving information about her condition from the doctor. Overall, she had recovered well from the accident, and her wounds would heal quickly. Fortunately, Erica had no major injuries. However, she would still need to remain in the hospital for observation until she fully recovered or until the doctor approved her discharge. This natural course of events heightened Erica's anxiety. She had to continue her treatment for complete recovery, which meant incurring more expenses. The problem was that Erica didn't have a single penny to address this distressing issue. When it was suggested to reach out to relatives or friends, Erica avoided the topic. She can't reveal her family situation because she doesn't want anyone to know about her unhappiness. As for friends, Erica didn't have any close, trustworthy companions. Erica had mentioned that she was an orphan without a father or mother, and that wasn't entirely a lie since it was the truth.
That night, after taking all my belongings, instead of leaving as planned, Erica decided to hide at Watson's house with the purpose of investigating the matter that Mrs. Lani had discussed with the lawyer. Erica had a strong feeling that the incident was somehow connected to her. It could be something very serious, and Erica needed to find out.By this time, it was twelve o'clock at night. Mrs. Lani tossed and turned on her warm bed but couldn't find a comfortable lying position. She couldn't sleep peacefully, especially with the furious thunder and lightning outside. To make matters worse, Mrs. Lani was plagued by a terrifying nightmare. In that horrifying dream, she saw Erica standing right at the foot of her bed, looking at her with a malicious smile. Erica's long hair flowed and danced in the cold night breeze. A fresh stream of crimson blood flowed from Erica's head, staining her innocent and beautiful face. Mrs. Lani was filled with horror, her eyes wide open, unable to utter a s
