The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 128

Victoria looked into the distance where bright lights illuminated the bustling city. It was so dazzling that it could easily captivate one’s eyes, yet she could only feel numbness and disgust.
Victoria looked into the distance where bright lights illuminated the bustling city. It was so dazzling that it could easily captivate one’s eyes, yet she could only feel numbness and disgust.

She massaged her sore calves before heading toward the pool in order to fish out the trash from the water into a plastic bag. After unscrewing the drain plug, she dragged her exhausted body to clean up the pool while fighting through drowsiness.

The night was chilly and it was cold to only wear a uniform. She rested the mop against herself before rubbing her palms and exhaling puffs of air.

Click. Click. Click.

Suddenly, the clattering sound of heels became louder amidst the dreaded silence on the rooftop.

Victoria turned her head to see a lady closing the door to the rooftop. Due to the dim lightning, she could only discern the lady’s figure vaguely, but not the face.

She frowned while shouting at the lady, “Don’t lock the door. I’ll lock it after I finish up everything.”

Yet, the lady merely raised her head to give Victoria a glance before locking the door. It was not until then did Victoria sense something amiss as she tossed the mop away and strode toward the lady. “What are you doing?”

Noticing Victoria’s approach, the lady hurried up her pace. After locking the door, she ran away whereas Victoria dashed to the door with a frown. It would not open no matter how hard she pushed it. “Is anyone there? Can anybody hear me? Is someone there? Anybody out there?!”

She screamed from the bottom of her lungs, but received zero responses. Of course, since office hours were over, who would be here other than her and the lady?

To make things worse, she left her phone in the dormitory because it happened to run out of battery.

A wave of breeze blew. Due to the chill, she sneezed and clenched tightly onto her clothes. Although the cleaning was yet to be done, she was not in the mood to do that anymore.

Like a car running out of fuel, she was all in and had no strength left. Thus, she pulled over a chair and took a seat.

The night wind whisked stronger as thunder could be heard from afar. It seemed like it was going to pour soon.
