Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Did She Bribe The Judges

Half an hour passed, and a heavy silence slowly descended over the space. It feels as though we’re trapped in some ancient and mysterious corner of the world, and no one knows we’re here. If another half an hour passes. the oxygen in this tiny space will probably all be gone.

A thin sheen of sweat covered Christina’s forehead. In such an environment, a person’s fear of the dark would grow and intensify slowly but surely like sand through an hourglass.

Feeling dizzy. Tina walked over to the doors, raised her hands, and pounded on them. “Are you all dead? Why isn’t anyone coming to save me!”

After a while, her hands started to hurt so much that she switched to kicking. The doors were made entirely of solid steel, so she would be unable to make a crack even if she broke a bone.

With all the pent-up anger bubbling inside her, Tina pointed at the figure in the corner and lashed out at her. “It’s all your fault, Christina Steele! Someone must’ve been trying to prank you, and that’s why we got caught up in this mess!”

It was not the first time someone had played a prank on Christina in the office. Sometimes it was just one person, and sometimes there were more. Everyone knew about it, but no one said anything and quietly allowed such behavior to carry on.

Christina felt a suffocating sensation in her chest, and she started to panic. The last time she had felt like that was while kissing Nathaniel on the bed in a hotel. However, the sensation felt way more uncomfortable now.

The sound of Tina’s voice yapping away made her feel even more frustrated, so she turned away and ignored the former. Although she had been standing in a corner at first, she gradually felt weak and slumped to the floor in a heap. She stared into space, her eyes unfocused. It was impossible to guess what was running through her mind.

Time continued ticking by, then suddenly, they heard a deep voice on the other side of the doors. “Christina, are you in there?”

It was Nathaniel’s voice!

Christina sprang up from the floor with a thud like an arrow released from a taut bowstring, then rushed to the doors. “Nathaniel. it’s me! I’m inside!”

No one knew that her mind had already been gripped with fear for her life just a second before. She was overcome with emotion, so much so that her eyes instantly brimmed with tears.

“Don’t be afraid, and don’t come close to the doors. I’m going to get you out of there immediately!”
