Chapter 998

Author: Summer Knowles
Scarlett clamped her left hand over her mouth, wiping away tears with the other. Then she broke into a smile—relieved, overjoyed—as she took a step toward the door of hope.

She could see it.

It was right there.

So close.

But then that twisted laughter returned—sharp, hideous, and far too familiar. Her whole body spun around in panic.

“Get away from me! Stop laughing!” she screamed into the pitch-black void.

Suddenly, her feet felt like they were weighed down by anchors. She looked down in terror—and froze.

Those monstrous faces were back—right beneath her.

The solid ground beneath her had turned into a swirling black vortex. Dozens of hands shot up from the spinning darkness, grabbing at her ankles, her calves, dragging her down.

“Don’t touch me! Help! Is anyone there?! Please, someone help me!” Scarlett screamed, utterly panicked, her face pale and soaked in tears.

Steven rushed into the room the second he heard the commotion—and the sight nearly shattered him.

    After waking up, Scarlett lay motionless on the bed, staring into space.Steven noticed her eyes were open. Worried that she might be uncomfortable, he gently helped her sit up. She was like a delicate porcelain doll—quiet, expressionless, letting him move her without any resistance.He fluffed a pillow behind her back, and as he looked into her vacant eyes, a wave of heartache washed over him. He softened his voice, speaking to her with utmost care.Just then, his phone alarm went off.“The soup should be done,” he said quickly. “I’ll go check in the kitchen—I’ll be right back.”He stood and walked out.Scarlett didn’t react. She just sat there blankly, though silent tears had already begun slipping from the corners of her eyes.In the kitchen, Steven added a splash of water to the pot. The chicken soup needed a few more minutes before it was just right.He stood in front of the stove, watching the swirling blue and red flames, but his mind was somewhere far away. It wasn’t un

    Just then, something clicked for Zachary. A sudden realization hit him.—At Steven’s house“Scarlett! Why are you just standing there? Come on, JR just dropped their new collection—if we’re late, we’ll miss it!”The urgent voice of a girl echoed from a distance.Scarlett blinked, startled. Instinctively, she glanced down at her outfit.It was a weird move—one she didn’t even understand herself. She tilted her head, visibly confused.“Scarlett!” The voice called again, this time sharper.She quickly looked up and shouted back, “Coming, coming!”Then she started running toward the voice. Her friend was waving at her, getting closer by the second. The tension in Scarlett’s chest eased, her lips curling into a small smile.But the smile froze on her face.Because the closer she got, the clearer it became: her friend had no face.Still, the faceless girl kept waving at her like some mechanical doll, her voice turning hollow and creepy.“Scarlett… come here… come…”Scarlett’s

    “Any word from Melvin?” Zachary asked.The assistant hesitated before answering. “Mr. Sanders took his mother to the hospital. He’s still there. He hasn’t called back.”The hospital?Something clicked in Zachary’s mind.—At City General Hospital, Melvin helped his mother onto the bed. The doctor said her dizziness was due to extreme emotional stress.“Melvin, I’ve had this for years,” Mrs. Sanders said hoarsely. “If something’s come up at the company, go. Don’t worry about me.”But Melvin was staring blankly at the medication the nurse had just brought in. “Why didn’t you ever tell me about the dizziness?”“I didn’t want to worry you,” she replied with a weak shake of her head. “You’re always so busy. And it’s nothing serious.”Shawn rushed in. “What happened? Why is she in the hospital?”Melvin quickly filled him in and added, “Just stay with her for now.”He looked like he wanted to say something else, and his hesitation didn’t go unnoticed.“What is it?” Mr. Sanders aske

    But even with blood trickling from the fresh cut, Vivian didn’t flinch. She actually smiled.“You won’t do it, will you? That’s your problem, Sarah—you’re too soft. That’s why you’ll never beat me.”Sarah scoffed. “You think I’m scared to kill you? Please. I just think death would be letting you off too easy. You’ve ruined so many lives—you don’t deserve a clean way out. I want the law, the same one you mock, to make you pay.”Vivian gave a mocking laugh. “The law? Oh, that reminds me. That night at the bar? I recorded everything. What if I accidentally leaked that footage, huh? That’d be a real mess.”“You recorded it?” Sarah’s voice shook with fury as she dropped the broken shard. Her whole face was flushed. “How could you?!”“I like having leverage,” Vivian said casually. “So maybe next time, don’t come at me with a sharp object. You never know—I might get in a bad mood and drop a few videos online just for fun.”Sarah’s pupils contracted. Her breath hitched. “You’re vile.”V

    She glanced at the closed door and let out a soft laugh.“You really think you can win her over?”“That’s none of your business,” Leon said, eyes filled with distrust.“I should go,” Vivian said lightly.Leon nodded. “By the way—she asked me to pass along a message.”“Oh?” Vivian tilted her head, intrigued. “What message?”Leon gave a slow, amused smile.“She said… you’re going to regret this.”Vivian’s eyes lit up with interest. She strolled to the tightly shut door and raised her voice deliberately.“Think you can let me talk to her?”“No,” Leon replied flatly.“Oh, come on. I’m not gonna hurt her,” Vivian said with a playful tone. “We’re both in this mess together, aren’t we? Maybe I can even help you out.”Leon looked at her coolly and shook his head.“She won’t want to see you.”“You don’t know that,” Vivian said, her voice picking up with excitement. “Why not try?”The living room fell silent for a moment. Just then, a voice came from behind the door—calm, clear, an
