"Maybe I should just kill myself," she whispered softly, her voice barely audible in the somber silence.As she uttered those haunting words, the pain in her heart intensified. Her mind raced with self-doubt, questioning her worth and abilities. It seemed like the world had turned its back on her, leaving her stranded in a sea of disappointment.Just as she was drowning in her sorrow, a sudden commotion at the front door startled her. Her younger sister, Nicki, barged into the house, a mocking smirk plastered across her face. Nicki had always been the golden child, effortlessly excelling in everything she set her mind to.

"All those dreams of becoming a doctor, and you couldn't even get accepted into a single medical school. What a dumb gi
Chapter Ninety OneSelena's imagination raced as she heard the sound again, this time more distinct. It seemed like footsteps, but her rational mind quickly dismissed it as mere creaks from the old house settling. Yet, a sense of unease began to creep into her thoughts, and her once comfortable sanctuary now felt like an eerie place.She tried to brush off the feeling, attributing it to the atmospheric storytelling of her novel. However, with each passing minute, the paranoia grew stronger. Her eyes darted around the dimly lit room, and she couldn't shake the sensation of being watched. Shadows danced on the walls, twisting and contorting into monstrous forms.A chill ran down Selena's spine as she convinced herself that it was her own overactive imagination playing tricks on her.

The creaks and groans of the house heightened her anxiety, making her
Chapter Ninety Two Elijah's heart pounded against his chest as he watched in disbelief. His eyes widened, and his mind couldn't fathom the scene unfolding before him. There she was, his wife, dancing so effortlessly with a complete stranger. A rush of mixed emotions surged through him, and he knew he had to intervene.Determined to drag her away from the enigmatic stranger, Elijah took a deep breath and moved through the crowd, his strides purposeful and anxious. He reached out to touch her shoulder gently, intending to lead her away discreetly. But as his hand grazed her skin, he felt a sudden jolt of electricity, causing him to recoil in surprise.His wife turned to him, her eyes glinting with mischief and a hint of defiance. Before he could utter a word, she reached for a nearby glass filled with crimson wine and, without warning, poured it over him. Shocked and soaked, Elijah stood there, his clothes drenched, and a perplexed expression on his face."Why did you do that?" he as
Chapter Ninety ThreeElijah and Selena swayed gracefully on the dance floor, their bodies moving in sync with the rhythmic melody that filled the air. The soft glow of twinkling lights adorned the venue, casting a romantic ambiance over the scene. As they danced, Selena noticed a slight tension in Elijah's expression, a hint of discomfort flickering in his eyes."Darling, is everything alright?" Selena inquired, her voice filled with concern as she met Elijah's gaze.He let out a soft, almost imperceptible moan, and a blush crept up his cheeks. "Um, yeah, it's just…" Elijah trailed off, looking away for a moment, as if contemplating how to express his feelings.Curiosity piqued, Selena placed a gentle hand on his arm. "Tell me, Elijah. You can share anything with me," she encouraged.He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before he continued, "It's just that… there's a bulge in my trousers, and it's a bit uncomfortable when we dance like this."A mix of surprise and amusement
Chapter Ninety Four The minutes felt like hours as he anxiously waited for any news about Selena's whereabouts. Just when his patience was wearing thin, his phone's screen illuminated with an unfamiliar private number. Hesitant but hopeful, Elijah answered the call as instructed by the police, praying it would be a lead to find his beloved wife."Hello?" His voice trembled with a mixture of fear and desperation.But there was no immediate response. Instead, a chilling silence hung in the air. The unknown caller seemed to revel in Elijah's anticipation, basking in the knowledge of his anguish.Suddenly, a low, mechanical laugh echoed through the phone, sending shivers down Elijah's spine. It sounded inhuman, almost robotic, devoid of any empathy or remorse. Fear gripped him tighter, and he struggled to find the right words."Who is this? Where is my wife?" He demanded, his voice now tinged with anger, hoping to get some answers.The laughter continued, becoming more intense, almost ma
Chapter Ninety Five Just then, a sharp knock echoed through the wooden door, making Grandfather Williams's heart skip a beat. He hesitated for a moment before rising to answer it, his cane tapping gently on the hardwood floor. Slowly, he opened the door, revealing two stern-faced police officers in their crisply pressed uniforms."Good morning, Grandfather Williams," the older officer said with a tone of regret, "We've received reports of unpaid debts and multiple complaints about your grandson, Henry. We're here to investigate and, if necessary, arrest him."Grandfather Williams's heart sank further, but he nodded solemnly, knowing that the officers were just doing their duty. "Come in," he murmured, stepping aside to let them enter. The officers exchanged a glance as they noticed the old man's slumped shoulders and weary expression.As they stepped inside, the officers were met with the sight of a once vibrant and lively home now in disarray. Papers scattered on the dining table, u
Chapter Ninety Six The prison stinks , he gets beaten up because he is a weakling and to make matters worse, the food tastes salty and stale so he hardly eats till he gets hungry and acts like he is about to before he eats. In Fact the once handsome Henry is now looking all lean , ugly and malnourished. Henry sat slumped on the cold, unforgiving metal bench inside the dimly lit prison visiting room, exhaustion etched across his face. He looked up at Stella, his only hope who had come to visit him as she always did, offering solace amidst the desolate confines."I can't take this anymore, Stella," Henry sighed, his voice laced with weariness. "Every day feels like hell here. I miss the simple pleasures of life, the warmth of the sun, and the freedom to walk without these suffocating walls around me."Stella empathetically placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, comforting him with her presence. "I know, Henry. I can see it in your eyes, and it breaks my heart. We need to do something a
Chapter Ninety Seven Henry's heart raced with a mix of anxiety and excitement as he stepped out of the prison gates, finally tasting the sweet air of freedom after years of confinement. The sun shone brightly overhead, its warmth a stark contrast to the cold, gray walls he had grown accustomed to. He took a deep breath, savoring the scent of freedom and a future filled with possibilities.Adjusting to the bustling world outside the prison walls was overwhelming at first. The sights, sounds, and faces he encountered seemed foreign and distant. Still, determination drove him forward. Henry hailed a taxi and gave the address of his Las Vegas apartment, a place he hadn't seen in what felt like a lifetime.As the taxi sped through the city, Henry gazed out of the window, taking in the neon lights and the vibrant energy of Las Vegas. Memories of the life he once led here flooded back, a stark contrast to the confined and controlled existence of his prison days. The thought of returning to t
