Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

As he moved, a long trail of blood smeared across the floor.

Clutching his severed finger, he painfully inched towards the bedside table and grabbed the phone.

Just as he was about to call his subordinate, the door, which had been closed moments ago, was violently kicked open again!
