What Separates Me and You

Chapter 124 You Are Disappointing

It was already late at night.

Josephine kept tossing and turning on the couch, unable to fall asleep. She stared at the clock on the wall, which showed 11 pm. There was a high chance that Lewis wouldn’t return home again that night.

She turned around once more and was about to fall asleep when she heard a noise coming from the level above her.

Josephine raised her head to look at the ceiling above her. She strained to catch any sounds around her, but no sounds reached her ears, so she settled back on the couch.

However, she heard the same noise again. It sounded like someone was trying to push a window open.

Josephine immediately frowned as she got up from the couch and headed toward the staircase, thinking she had forgotten to close a window.

When Josephine arrived at her bedroom, she opened the door and was about to flick on the light switch when a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her wrist.

The silhouette that popped out all of a sudden scared the wits out of Josephine, causing her body to stiffen up immediately. Her first instinct was to open her mouth and scream at the top of her lungs, but her breath seemed to be lodged in her throat. No matter what she did, she could barely emit a sound.

It was the same as before.

A soft chuckle came from the side. “I thought you’d be able to scream.”

That voice was even scarier compared to the sudden pair of hands that gripped Josephine’s wrists.

She worked hard to free herself from the hands immediately, but they maintained a firm grip on her. Josephine gripped the doorframe in return and attempted to flee from the room.

The disparity in their strength was evident, leaving Josephine outmatched against the intruder’s sheer power. The next moment she knew, he had kicked the door shut right before

her.

The room was incredibly dark. Since Josephine couldn’t communicate with the intruder, she could only lean against the door in a state of desperation.

Seth, the intruder, was the one who turned on the lights. His smiling face popped up in front of Josephine’s vision. Clearly, he didn’t care about the fact that he had trespassed into someone’s private property, seeing as his smile was as bright as ever.

Josephine bit her bottom lip, not daring to breathe out loud.

She gestured, “What do you

want?”

Seth pinned her against the door while slamming a palm against the surface next to her ear. Then, he replied smilingly, “It’s been a long time since I last saw you, Josephine. That’s why I popped over for a quick visit.”

Josephine turned her head away. She didn’t believe his ridiculous lies.

She pressed her ear against the door, hoping to hear any sounds or noises coming from the outside. Unfortunately, there was only silence.

“Are you waiting for Lewis to come home?”

Josephine froze on the spot. She heard Seth continuing, “He’s with Sierra right now. Perhaps he’s already asleep after making love to her. If you’re hoping for him to come and rescue you, then I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”
