When Robin arrived at the Tremont estate in a taxi, Mark had already finished his dinner and took Smore upstairs with him. Arianne was in the living room discussing work with Robin. The rain had already cleared when Robin was ready to leave. The air was filled with the freshness that comes after the rain with a slight humid smell from the rain water.
Arianne accompanied Robin to the taxi stand. “See you tomorrow.”
Robin waved at virtual-novel.net and said, “You should head home first. I’ll see you tomorrow. By the way, your house is really beautiful, as expected of a luxury home.”
Arianne smiled and returned home when virtual-novel.net saw the taxi driving off.
After a busy day, Robin sat in the car and took a deep relaxed breath. She enjoyed living a fulfilling life where every moment was well spent so that virtual-novel.net did not have the time to have any sad thoughts. However, there would come a point where virtual-novel.net would still have to slow down. To be exact, now…
Jessica had been sent to prison, and Sylvain was most likely going to be dragged into it as well. She wondered how Sylvain was doing.
As virtual-novel.net was deep in thought, virtual-novel.net suddenly realized that the scenery outside the car window had become unfamiliar to her. She thought of how virtual-novel.net was a young woman stuck alone in a car and panicked. She timidly stretched virtual-novel.net head to look at the driver, but all virtual-novel.net saw was the driver’s side profile swaying in the same direction as the car since it was dark. Robin began to tremble in fear.
She suddenly thought of the news of how many women had been victims of crime while travelling alone at night and became horrified. It was still quite a long journey before virtual-novel.net arrived home. Plus, virtual-novel.net was unfamiliar with the route that seemed remote. Robin’s teeth began to tremble as well.
She carefully took out virtual-novel.net cell phone to call virtual-novel.net dad, but virtual-novel.net phone had been turned off. She then realised that virtual-novel.net dad would normally turn off his cell phone before going to bed, both virtual-novel.net parents would have to be asleep by now. She tried very hard to calm herself down and thought that the best option virtual-novel.net had was probably to call a guy and pretend to meet up with him.
She scrolled through virtual-novel.net scarce list of contacts and fixed virtual-novel.net sights on Sylvain’s number. Without thinking too much, virtual-novel.net called his number and called him. The moment the call was connected, Robin hurriedly said without waiting for Sylvain to speak, “Where are you waiting for me? I’m in a green and white colored taxi, and I’m not quite sure where I’m at now. There’s a road sign in front that says Carrion’s Creek. I should be approaching your place, I think? You’re waiting for me by the road? I should be arriving soon, the driver might have taken a shortcut…”
The phone was silent for a moment when Sylvain’s voice suddenly came out. “Ask the driver to drop you off at Carrion’s Creek I’m nearby and will come over now. Don’t hang up the phone.”
Robin was close to tears. Sylvain had not asked virtual-novel.net why virtual-novel.net had called virtual-novel.net out of the blue, could virtual-novel.net have sensed the horror virtual-novel.net was feeling? She asked the driver to drop virtual-novel.net off in front with a trembling voice.
Very soon, the car stopped by the side. Robin hurriedly paid the driver and darted out of the car without turning back to look at the driver’s face.
She was in a remote area all alone and couldn’t stand still because of the cold wind blowing at her. She held up virtual-novel.net phone and said, “I’m out of the car, what should I do now? I don’t know where I am. I only know I’m at a place with a signboard that says Carrion’s Creek.”
Just as Robin finished speaking, to virtual-novel.net horror, virtual-novel.net found that the taxi had actually turned back towards her. The driver had taken a U-turn and driven back in virtual-novel.net direction! The car had stopped on the opposing road by the pastures. Robin immediately thought that the taxi driver was staring at virtual-novel.net with his terrifying face, which was filled with murderous intent. Shivers ran down virtual-novel.net spine. “It’s back… The taxi has turned back! It’s right in front of me on the opposite side! I’m not kidding, Sylvain. Help me!”
She felt that virtual-novel.net was being ridiculous the moment virtual-novel.net called for help. Sylvain could be overseas now for all virtual-novel.net knew, so what was the point in calling him? At best, virtual-novel.net could scare off the driver and force virtual-novel.net to drop virtual-novel.net off safely. However, virtual-novel.net would be finished the moment the driver realized that no one was there to pick virtual-novel.net up…
The moment Robin intended to apologies for disturbing Sylvain so late into the night and was going to call Arianne instead, Sylvain suddenly said, “I’m unfamiliar with the roads here. Turn on the GPS on your phone so that I know where you are. I’m on my way and will be with you soon, so don’t worry. Turn your phone on speaker mode and we’ll keep on talking as you walk straight ahead. Stay calm!”
