Leah was a light sleeper. So, she did not sleep well because she was not used to the
hardboard bed in the village.
So, she was wide awake immediately when she sensed the gaze in the dark.
Leah could not see what was there because her back was facing outwards. So, she
listened attentively. Some very light footsteps were walking around, and they could be
heard clearly on a quiet night like this.
Leah clenched her hand under the blanket. Then, she reached out and pinched Serena,
sleeping beside her.
However, Serena continued to sleep soundly, like she did not feel the pinch.
Behind Leah, a pair of hands slowly approached her.
The air around Leah was becoming more intense.
Leah figured that person might be so bold, assuming she was sleeping. But, on the other
hand, Leah thought she might be scared away that person if she woke up.
So, Leah turned around. Her eyes met with another pair of eyes.
Both of them were startled.
“Sunny?” asked Leah, breaking the intense silence.
Sunny smirked. His smile looked terrifying under the moonlight that crept through the
paper-covered window into the unlit room.
Supposedly, Leah should feel relieved seeing Sunny, but she became more nervous
because of the behavior he displayed the past few days.
Leah immediately sat up, fully alert. “Why are you in our room instead of sleeping at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChief’s house?”
A weird excitement crept up Sunny’s face.
He moved closer to Leah. “I miss you, so I come to see you.”
Leah’s eyebrows snapped together. “Sunny Cole, watch yourself. Do you know what you
are saying? Are you mad?”
Sunny shook his head. He looked hurt at Leah’s words. “I’m not mad, Miss White. I’ve
fallen in love with you since I first saw you two years ago. I’ve been waiting for you for the
past two years. Would you leave Ian and be with me?”
Leah found him ridiculous. “Aren’t you afraid that I will tell Ian about this?” she smirked.
Leave Ian and be with him? Dream on!
“I knew it!” Suddenly, Sunny became delirious. He scrunched up his face and his voice
became horse. “I should have known earlier you are a gold digger, just like other women.
The only thing Ian is better than me is he is richer. We had similar results at the university,
yet all the girls swooned over him. Even the girl I liked also confessed to him! All of you
are just bimbos!”
Leah started to worry when she saw Sunny becoming more hysterical, but she tried to
keep a calm face.
“Stop telling me this nonsense. Please leave.”
However, Sunny seemed deep in an agitated state and could not be rational anymore.
He moved closer to Leah, his hands almost touching her. “I want Ian to know how it feels
to be betrayed by the woman he loves most.”
Then, Sunny lunged at Leah.
Leah let out a scream. She turned and scarcely got away from his grab. “Wake up,
Serena!” Leah shook Serena.
“Stop waking her up. It’s not going to do anything.” Sunny laughed maniacally. “I put
something in her dinner today. Don’t worry. She’ll sleep through the night.”
“Sunny Cole, you bastard!” Leah cursed him through gritted teeth.
“Go ahead and curse me. After tonight, your lips will only moan my name when I make
you my woman.” Sunny’s usually polite and friendly face was no longer there. Instead, his
face had become evil and disgusting.
Once Leah knew she was what Sunny was after, and it was unlikely he would hurt Serena,
Leah decided to run for help.
When Sunny jumped on Leah, she bit his hand hard. Then, when Sunny was still shocked
at the pain, Leah immediately pushed him away and ran out.
“You are not getting away!” Sunny’s sound came from behind.
Leah ran out of her room and knocked on other doors. “Wake up! Anyone?”
However, her scream was met with silence.
“That’s not going to work. Everyone’s dinner was doped,” said Sunny casually.
Leah’s heart sank.
If that was true, that meant Sunny had planned this for a long time, yet Leah was utterly
unaware of it.
So, Leah stopped knocking on doors and ran out instead.
There was no street light in the village at night. It was illuminated only by moonlight.
Leah decided to run towards places with people. If there were someone else, Sunny
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprobably would not do anything to her.
On the other hand, Sunny seemed to notice Leah’s intention. He did not expect Leah to
fight back so hard. He started to get anxious and quickened his steps.
The wind blew past Leah’s ears, accompanied by Sunny’s rapid footsteps from behind.
Leah was exhausted from running but did not dare to slow down.
Leah started to run aimlessly.
Suddenly, she lost her footing over a stone and twisted her ankle. Then, she fell to the
ground.
“Haha, got you!” Sunny’s voice came from behind, panting with excitement.
Leah paled. She wanted to get up and continue to run, but her twisted ankle was too
painful to stand.
Sunny finally stood in front of Leah, looking down from above like he was examining the
lamb he was going to slaughter.
Sunny grabbed Leah’s shirt, and she tried to fight back. However, Leah’s summer shirt
was quite thin.
Rip!
The sound of clothes ripping cut through the quiet night, yet no one would find them in
the wilderness.
Leah started to despair and wondered if she could get away unharmed today.
When Sunny thought he could finally get his way, the sound of steady footsteps came
from his back.
Then, a flashlight shone on Sunny.
“What are you doing?” said a deep voice.
Leah looked up in disbelief. She would never imagine seeing Han at that place, at that
moment!
