The scene shifts to the imposing structure of Laramie’s mansion, an imposing façade that obscures the darkness that lurks within its walls. Inside, the atmosphere was heavy with the smell of cigarette smoke and the weight of sinister intentions.Kimmy stood by the wide window, her curvaceous figure illuminated by the dim light filtering through the curtains. With a cigarette dangling between her fingers, she radiated an air of calculated menace, her eyes shining with icy determination. Across from her, Laramie was lounging on a plush recliner, looking smug and confident.“How far are we from it?” Kimmy’s voice cut through the tense silence, impatience clear in her voice.Laramie leaned back lazily in her chair, smirking as she looked at Kimmy with a mixture of amusement and contempt. “Everything is going according to plan,” he replied nonchalantly, his voice filled with arrogance. “Katherine is as gullible as ever. She has been completely brainwashed, obeying my every command without
In the dimly lit kitchen, Katherine’s mind reeled with suspicion and anger. She was convinced that the maid she had beaten earlier had gone and told someone else and called an old woman here to “retaliate” against Katherine.Katherine raised her eyes to look at the middle-aged woman in front of her. How could someone with two different hair styles want to fight her? Did she think that just one small movement from her could break the old woman’s bones and joints?“Hey, old lady, when you’re old, go to the nursing home and drink Ensure Gold, don’t stay here and worry about money anymore.”Katherine smirked, but at this moment, she suddenly seemed to remember something. Katherine thought, is this the servant who told Monica this morning?With a disdainful smile, Katherine walked closer to the elderly maid, her eyes shining with malice. “You,” she sneered, pointing an accusing finger at the servant. “You’re the one who talked to Monica, right? You’re the one who dared to interfere in my a
Justin took Katherine into his private room. He didn’t expect her to become more and more unreasonable. Even though he was the brother from before who loved her and tolerated her, he was not weak and like a puppet, so she could comfortably bypass him like that.Katherine is looking down on Justin. Not only does she look down on him, but she also doesn’t understand him, not at all.Entering the room, Justin stood with his back to Katherine. What does it feel like to be betrayed and deceived right in front of someone you once loved? A play is only fun when the people in the play don’t know it’s a play or they all know it’s a play and are doing it together. If one person had realized it, everything would have fallen apart.As for Katherine at this time, she did not feel any abnormalities, still thinking that Justin was still the same as before, trusting her. This time, he would comfort her and compensate her with something.But seeing Justin standing still and motionless, Katherine also
That night,After dinner, Katherine went into her room and sat in front of the mirror. She admired her beauty, picked up a comb and combed her hair, then hummed a song in her mouth.“My mother, she killed me,My father, he ate me,My sister Marlene,Gathered all my bones,Tweet, tweet, what a beautiful bird am I.”Katherine repeated the rhyme several times. Then suddenly put the comb down on the table. Her hand holding the comb and gently gliding through her hair seemed very gentle. Her movements were also careful and affectionate. But unexpectedly, when she put the comb down on the table, she used a firm hand, the force she put into her fingertips as if to crush an almond. She clenched the comb in her hand; her knuckles raised, and she crawled back and forth as if she couldn’t find support.“Justin, Monica, Caesar, Leona, you will all die!”The sound of the comb hitting the table echoed in the large, quiet room. And now Katherine stood up, her movements pushing the chair back. The so
“Mom, look at Lyly. Lyly is hungry and wants to eat rice.”Julie placed the doll on the toy chair and arranged the toy kitchen, as if really wanting to “cook.” She didn’t care that Katherine wasn’t paying attention to her, obediently playing on her own.“Mom, Lyly’s favorite is apple juice and pan-fried bread with lots of butter and smiling cow cheese.”Julie seemed to embody a responsible chef cooking. She placed the tiny pots and pans on the stove, pretended to turn on the flame, and then prepared the ingredients.At this moment, Katherine remained motionless with her thoughts wandering. Unaware of how much time had passed, when she came back to her senses, she turned around wanting to say something to Julie, but accidentally bumped into the toy table Julie had just set up, causing everything to spill over, with the doll also tilting and falling to the side.“Oh...”Julie’s face twisted in confusion as she hadn’t even had the chance to say anything or comprehend what was happening b
"The mother rabbit gave birth to three adorable baby rabbits, named Red Eye, Long Ear, and Short Tail. One day, the mother rabbit said to her children, 'I have to go pull out some carrots. You stay home and watch the house, and remember, don't open the door for anyone.'Advising her children carefully, the mother rabbit left the house. The three baby rabbits obediently closed the door tightly. Behind their house, there was a wicked grey wolf on the hill, who had long intended to eat the baby rabbits. But since the rabbit family always kept the door closed, it couldn't find a way in. Seeing the mother rabbit returning from pulling out carrots, the grey wolf hid behind a big tree. As the mother rabbit arrived at the door, she knocked and sang, 'My dear obedient bunnies, quickly open the door, let mommy in with her beloved child.' The baby rabbits, hearing their mother's song, joyfully exclaimed, 'Mom's back!' and quickly opened the door to welcome her in.The grey wolf hiding behind the
The announcement of the amusement park boomed through the speakers, creating chaos in the atmosphere. Besides Justin and Julie, who were currently present, Justin scanned through the other cabins and estimated there were about fifty children and twenty adults around.If someone targeted him and Julie, it wouldn’t just be them risking their lives to achieve their goal.Justin couldn’t let that happen.Amidst the turmoil below, everyone was focused in their direction, pointing, talking, and speculating. More people were arriving by the minute. At the same time, the security team appeared, creating a protective barrier and establishing what they deemed a “safe” distance between the spinning swing ride and the people around.“Dad, what should we do now?”“Julie, stay calm. Dad will protect you.”Justin placed his hand on Julie’s, his gaze momentarily fixing on Katherine’s face, or rather, her head. She was currently hunched over her phone, seemingly oblivious to the commotion or the surro
In the deep blue sky, the Ferris wheel bobbed like a penguin, suspending Justin in space. From the summit, he looked down to see the crowd below scurrying like ants, disregarding the efforts of the amusement park security, who were desperately trying to restore order, to no avail. Even they seemed to seek refuge themselves.“Julie, hold on tight,” Justin said. He had no intention of prolonging this any further; every second he lingered here added another percent to the danger. Letting go, but just then, bullets rained down like fire, forming a deadly canvas in the sky. In that precarious moment, Justin had no time to think. He exclaimed as his body moved like a forest in the wind, swaying, spinning, and shaking like a dancer in tune with death.“So, it’s death you seek.”With fighting instinct deeply ingrained in his soul, Justin maneuvered between the rotating gondolas like a swift breeze, leaping up and diving like a fleeing deer. His eyes reflected the light of the bullets, vigilan
