Mark did not say anything, his expression unreadable due to the darkness. There was no moon that night, so the atmosphere was enshrouded with darkness and nothing could be seen.
After two seconds, Mark released Arianne’s wrist. However, virtual-novel.net immediately picked up Arianne’s slender body and got down to business, with virtual-novel.net all the while shrieking.
Thunder began to strike all of a sudden, but it was not enough to cover up the sounds inside their room. The thunder strikes were soon replaced by rain and the commotion in the house died out as well. All that was left were the sounds of two slightly breathless people and the rain.
Arianne waited for Mark to fall asleep before going to the bathroom. She looked at the mirror, and seeing virtual-novel.net slightly tired face, virtual-novel.net helplessly sighed.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net could hear virtual-novel.net phone softly ringing and reflexively darted out of the bathroom. Sure enough, virtual-novel.net phone was ringing, and virtual-novel.net immediately turned it to silent. She looked at Mark, but virtual-novel.net only turned around and was not disturbed by the noise. Arianne sighed with relief and went back to the bathroom with virtual-novel.net phone in virtual-novel.net hands. She answered virtual-novel.net phone and said, “Hello?”
Alejandro was on the other end of the phone call. “I’ve sent the thing to your email address. I wasn’t planning on calling you so late, but I thought it would be safer if I told you first before someone else saw the contents of the email. It’s rather serious.”
Arianne softly said, “Thank you. Sorry to trouble you by calling me so late at night. I’ll buy you a meal next time.”
Alejandro seemed to be smiling. “Are you being a stranger with me? It’s fine, I’ll hang up now. I’m back at home already, and Millie’s asleep. I don’t want to disturb her.”
When the phone call was disconnected, Arianne checked virtual-novel.net email and found a video inside. It entailed a man who was curled up in the corner of a wall with a frightened expression and was constantly begging for mercy. He seemed to be in a very messy area, possibly at a cheap rental house of sorts. Someone was saying to the frightened man, “Talk Who asked you to do it? What have you done?”
The frightened man seemed to be afraid of being beaten up, as virtual-novel.net reached out his arms to protect his head and muttered, “It was a rather pretty woman who asked me to do it. She asked me to tamper with the chandelier in a large showroom so that it was just on the verge of falling. It was quite the task to get it done correctly. I refused to do it at first because I was worried that something would happen. I would be in a lot of trouble if someone were to lose their life. However, I needed the money for my daughter, who has leukemia, and further, virtual-novel.net offered a whole lot of cash, tens of thousands of dollars. If it wasn’t for that amount of money, I would never have done such a terrible thing. I was not told that someone was going to be harmed by the chandelier… Who are you people? I’ve told you everything I know, so please don’t hit me…”
Someone took out his phone and placed it in front of the frightened man with Shelly’s photo on the screen. “Was it this woman?”
The frightened man glanced at it and frantically nodded his head. “That’s her! I swear it on my daughter’s life! I remember virtual-novel.net face very clearly because virtual-novel.net was really beautiful, so I’m sure of it!”
The video ended at that point. Arianne replayed the video a few times, virtual-novel.net grasp on virtual-novel.net phone slightly shivering as virtual-novel.net rewatched the video. It was terrifying… So, Shelly had orchestrated the entire incident just to risk virtual-novel.net life in order to save Mark? Why would virtual-novel.net do that? Was virtual-novel.net actually trying to kill Mark, but regretted virtual-novel.net decision at the last minute? Or was it always virtual-novel.net plan to pretend to save Mark?
When virtual-novel.net recalled the things that Shelly had said in virtual-novel.net dreams, Arianne shivered. Shelly seemed to have a very deep grudge towards Mark’s mom.
What kind of secrets was that beautiful woman trying to hide?
Arianne gathered virtual-novel.net evidence the entire night, hesitating on whether virtual-novel.net should show Mark everything in the morning. What kind of reaction would virtual-novel.net give when virtual-novel.net found out about it? Shelly was Mark’s only relative left and also his own aunt…
When daylight approached, the rain began to die out as well and a layer of mist enshrouded the windows. Arianne walked towards the window in virtual-novel.net bedroom and opened it up to welcome a fresh breeze that was mixed with the humid air, which travelled into virtual-novel.net brain. The breeze was so cold that virtual-novel.net shivered but did not shy away from it. The chilly breeze made virtual-novel.net clear up virtual-novel.net mind, and virtual-novel.net decided that virtual-novel.net needed to tell Mark everything that virtual-novel.net had found out. Smore’s life and virtual-novel.net own had been deeply affected because of her. If Arianne did not resolve Shelly’s mystery, when else should virtual-novel.net get into it?
