Chapter: 101


    Jared’s number anyway. As if the Gods were screwing with her, Jared’s phone was switched off!


    ‘What the hell? We were just talking on the phone a moment ago.’


    Debbie called Kasie, Dixon, andstly Kristina. All of them had turned off their phones. ‘Hah! Just when


    I need them the most, none of them can be reached. What kind of friends are they?’ Debbie was so


    frustrated she wanted to smash her phone. She gritted her teeth angrily. When she raised her head,


    she saw rows of tombstones standing there. It was as if they were all looking at her. Her heart started


    trembling and the cold breeze drove shivers down her spine.


    “Um… be cool, guys. Rest in peace. I am not looking for any trouble,” she muttered, as she spun


    around to make sure nothing was behind her.


    Meanwhile, her friends had been taken to a restaurant. A few men, dressed in ck, had taken their


    phones and confined them to a room.


    Completely unaware of what was happening to Debbie, they enjoyed the gourmet food spread out on


    the table.


    On the other hand, in the cemetery, more than ten minutes had passed, but Debbie still hadn’t been


    able to call in a car or a taxi to get her out of that terrifying ce. Anxious, scared, and alone. Salty


    tears spilled over onto her cheeks leaving a tight, dry feeling. Crouching under a tree, she kept calling


    her friends on her phone and just about anyone she could reach at that moment. However, the


    reception was too weak. She tried and tried, but luck wasn’t on her side.


    ‘am I going to spend the night here? Surely, I’ll be dead in the morning, ‘ she thought to herself, sitting


    on the cold ground. ‘That asshole Carlos. What an arrogant, insensitive bastard to Leave me alone


    here like this! What did I do wrong in my previous Life for God to make me his wife and punish me?’


    “Martyrs, heroes, I’m sorry, but I don’t mean to be rude. Please don’te near me. Please, please,


    please, please…” she begged, Looking at the tombstones with her hands folded in front of her.


    ‘Kasie, Kristina, Jared, and Dixon, if I make it out of here alive, I swear I’ll never speak to you guys


    again. Oh, help me, God.’ She wondered what her friends were doing and she couldn’t understand why


    her best friends had all ditched her when she needed them the most.


    Then she thought of her husband who had put her in such a difficult position in the first ce.


    ‘Carlos, you evil man. No wonder you have been single for the past 28 years.’ Then she realized


    something was wrong with that sentence. ‘Oh, right. He is my husband. We have been married for


    three years.’ She remembered.


    “You deserved to be single for the past 25 years, you jerk.


    You’re lucky to have me,” she murmured to herself angrily. Again, she tried to contact everyone else on


    her phone, but the line didn’t connect her even once. Debbie sat there, tired and dejected, as she


    buried her face in her arms.


    There was only one person Left, her husband, thest person she wanted to ask for help.


    After letting out a deep sigh, she raised her head and dialed Carlos’ number. Due to the lousy


    reception, she couldn’t connect through until after she had dialed more than ten times.


    “Carlos, I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please take me back home…” she blurted as soon as the phone was


    connected. Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, the reception broke off.


    Debbie was bordering on insanity.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Once again, she thought of how Carlos had treated her in the past. He had stubbornly refused to end


    their marriage despite the fact that they didn’t love each other; he had tried to force her into school


    when she wanted a leave just to avoid him. It seemed that in his eyes, everything she did was wrong. It


    wasn’t fair at all.


    Why was he being so heartless and insensitive to her?


    A frustrated scream dragged up her throat but it emerged as a groan, and soon it was followed by tears


    gushing out of her eyes. In the silent darkness, her raspy sobbing sounded creepy, even more so, due


    to the fact that she was in a cemetery. The night watchman heard her crying, but he was too frightened


    to approach her, uncertain whether she was a human being or a ghost.


    Drops of tears kept falling ceaselessly. Leaning against the tree, she put one arm over her chest and


    covered her face with the other, brushing away the tears from time to time. Little did she know that a


    person was standing right in front of her all the while.


    The sobbing gradually subsided. She wiped her tears and decided to get out of that ce on her own.


    ‘I have to be brave. I can’t let that pervert belittle me, ‘ she told herself, trying to muster up some


    courage.


    “Ahhhh!” she screamed when she saw the man in front of her as soon as she stood up. Her shriek


    resounded throughout the cemetery. The startled birds in the trees took to the dark sky, pping their


    wings restlessly.


    Wistful, exhausted, and terrified, Debbie lost her bnce and was about to fall down when Carlos


    stretched out his arms and caught her.
