A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0640

After she had eaten her fill, she surveyed the room. The interior was simple and crude. It was very tiny as well.

When she went into the bathroom, she turned on the shower and discovered there was no hot water. It did not matter anyway. Due to burns on her hand, it would be inconvenient to shower. Although it was already beginning to scab, it still hurt, and it would get infected if it had gotten wet.

She lay on the bed that smelled like mold. Even the mattress felt damp. She could not make herself comfortable no matter how many times she shifted positions. However, she did not complain. After all, this was better than having to sleep on the streets. Before she went to bed, site had pushed the cabinet up against the wall. That way, if someone tried to break in, they would not be able to get in easily.

She dozed off for a while before she was woken up by a commotion in the hallway. It sounded like a group of drunk young men. They spoke loudly, and site warily waited until the commotion faded away. After that, she fumbled around to look for her phone before switching it on. Since she was all alone, her phone gave her a sense of security, If anything happened, she would call the police immediately.

Around half a minute later, her old phone finally switched on. She was surprised when she saw more than ten missed calls and messages on the screen. They were from Tiffany and Eric.
