Chapter 219 No More Hiding

Stella let out another scream, sprang up, and turned on the light.

Stella gritted her teeth through the soreness and forced herself to clean the room, wiping away every trace that could betray what had happened.

Finally, she made her way to the bathroom. Just as she retrieved the bloodstained scarf, there was a knock at the door.

Dragging her aching legs to the door, Stella realized how much her body hurt now that the adrenaline from dealing with Eddie and Abraham had worn off.

Stella froze.
