Maureen didn’t want to stay alone in such vast emptiness, so she returned to her room.

She took out her phone and played some music.

The soft melodies brought her a sliver of calm.

“Boom-!”

Thunder cracked outside as lightning split the sky.

Soon, rain poured down relentlessly.

Maureen stared blankly at the downpour. She’d nearly fallen asleep when car sounds approached outside, followed by the doorbell.

Who could it be at this hour?

Unsure if Geoffrey was asleep, Maureen went to answer. Upon opening the door, she saw Andrea still in hospital clothes, a bandage around her neck, drenched and deathly pale on the doorstep.

Andrea froze upon seeing Maureen. “Where’s Geoffrey?”

“I don’t know.”

Maureen felt no obligation to explain, stepping aside to leave.

At the entrance and stairs covered in marble slabs, a loud “crack” echoed, like the sound of a skull fracturing.

Maureen hadn’t processed it when Geoffrey yanked her backward the next instant.

Geoffrey rushed forward.

Andrea lay on the ground, rain washing blood from her head.
