The Woman From Hell

I followed him all the way to the end of the hotel corridor. The man then turned into the last room. Despite being hesitant, I followed him in since I did not want the matter to be exposed. After I entered the room, the man closed the door. He took the folder out and laid out the photos from inside one by one.

The photos were those of Shannon and me when we were in the mountains. Although there was nothing incriminating, if he deliberately exposed them and added some polish to them, the impact would be great. What was more, Nina had at that time...

After looking at the photos, I looked up at the man. "Who are you and why do you have these photos?"

The man's skin was dark and callous. It was obvious that he did work under the sun for many years. He looked at me, a smile gracing the corners of his lips. "My name is Samuel Aster."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

His was an unfamiliar name, and I was sure I did not know him.

"Mr. Aster, this is probably our first meeting. Considering you have these photos, were you also there?" I remained calm as I tried to get information from him.

Samuel rolled his eyes slightly. Although he was a rough man, he was rather quick-minded. "Don't try to set me up. I won't be fooled. I brought these photos here to let you know that I'm not playing around."

His voice was heavy and distant in the huge room. My throat bobbed. Smiling calmly, I replied, "We don't have much history. Why did you choose to appear now?"

"Time is the ripest it is now. With the wedding going on outside, something so beautiful will also become an ugly thing if I were to reveal these photos. You'd only listen to me obediently if I do this. Isn't that right, Wanda Lane?" Samuel's small eyes narrowed, looking sinister and cunning.

I glanced at the photos on the table again and said slowly, "What do you want me to do?"

Samuel tapped the photos and

raised his eyes to me. "You don't have to do anything for now. Of course, I'll tell you what you need to do when the time comes. You can take these photos first. But know that have more copies. You and my

that bride outside are still in

hands. You'll have to listen to me

when I need you next time."

When he needed me... I frowned.

Hearing my question, Samuel smiled. "Don't worry, it's not what you think. In short, I'll definitely be needing you for something. You just need to do what I want you to do when the time comes. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that these photos will remain a secret. The bride also seemed to have gotten an abortion too, no?"

I clenched my hand slightly and gritted my teeth. "I'll listen to you as long as you don't expose this."

"Good. You're a smart woman." Samuel smiled brightly. "Remember that I'll contact you. You don't have to look for me specifically, but even if you try, it doesn't matter. You won't be able to find me."

After saying this, he left the photos, opened the door, and walked away.

I approached the table, the photos glaring. I put them away into a folder.

Samuel Aster... He looked very confident, but he did not seem to have much of a status. Someone might be backing him. It was obvious that he had been following my every move. He even knew w w what happened in the mountains. It was obvious he had been following me for a long time, yet I had not noticed anything.

Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my back. I was creeped out. Who was he? What was his game? What did he want me to do? He had copies of these photos. Would he really not go public with them... The many doubts in my mind upset me. Grabbing the folder, I left the room first...
