Why Do Characters Get Stuck In A Mattress In Thrillers?

On Halloween, I was secretly reunited with my long-lost mafia parents. They offered to take me home, but because I couldn't bear to leave the three brothers in my foster family, I refused to go with my parents. Getting back home, I changed into the white dress and bracelet given to me by my brothers as gifts. However, this triggered the jealousy and crying tantrums of their biological sister, Tiana. To avoid putting my brothers in a difficult position, I agreed to take off the dress and bracelet. Despite that, she wasn't satisfied. To appease their biological sister that they had been separated from for years, my three brothers forcefully locked me inside a transparent decorative coffin, despite knowing that I suffered from severe claustrophobia. Suffocating, I frantically banged on the coffin's glass, begging them for help. Tiana stood on the side, smirking at me maliciously. "Sarah, aren't you a professional actress? Why is your acting so exaggerated and fake? You're just locked inside, not being strangled, so why are you gasping?" My brothers knit their brows in annoyance. "It's just a little prank. How can you not even last ten minutes? Can't you just tolerate it for a bit?" "I checked it myself. The coffin has air vents and we're standing right here watching you the whole time! You won't be in any danger, and it's impossible for you to suffocate!" "If you didn't want to make Tiana happy, you could have just said you aren't willing! There's no need to fake being miserable and pitiful just to get our attention and sympathy!" But I wasn't faking. The phobia triggered a severe stress response and it brought on an asthma attack, cutting off my airway. Through the glass, I looked at them in sheer agony and despair. I was really going to die...

She was never meant to be his. ‎ ‎One night after work, she’s taken. ‎ ‎Blindfolded. Silenced. Locked inside a stranger’s world. ‎ ‎The man who walks into the room isn’t just powerful — he’s dangerous. Cold. Calculated. A man who believes she betrayed him. ‎ ‎He doesn’t ask questions. ‎ ‎He takes control. ‎ ‎But when his phone lights up with two chilling words— ‎ ‎Wrong girl. ‎ ‎—everything unravels. ‎ ‎She isn’t the enemy he was hunting. ‎ ‎She’s innocent. Untouched by his dark empire. ‎ ‎And now she knows his face. ‎ ‎He should let her go. ‎ ‎Instead, he keeps her. ‎ ‎Because releasing her means weakness. ‎ ‎And keeping her means temptation. ‎ ‎She hates him for what he’s done. ‎ ‎For dragging her into a war she never started. ‎ ‎For making her heart race in ways it shouldn’t. ‎ ‎But somewhere between fear and fury… she begins to see the man behind the monster. ‎ ‎And he begins to realize the most dangerous mistake he ever made… ‎ ‎Was touching the wrong girl. ‎ ‎Because now that he has her… ‎ ‎He’s not sure he’ll ever let her go. ‎

When my best friend, Dulcie Quinn, and I went to Westhaven on vacation, my boyfriend, Shane Lewis, got me a lower berth in a soft-sleeper. Before I boarded, he pointed at the dark circles under his eyes. “I spent three days trying to snag you a lower berth so you’d be comfortable on the trip. “So no matter what, don’t give it up to anyone else. Not even Dulcie.” He looked so serious that I nodded and told him I understood. Sure enough, as soon as we boarded, Dulcie, who had the berth above mine, asked if we could switch. Remembering what Shane had told me, I shook my head and said no. I explained it to her too. I never expected something to go wrong that very night. When she climbed down to use the bathroom, she missed the handrail and fell. Clutching her stomach, she screamed, “My baby! My baby’s gone!” I did not even have time to ask when she had gotten pregnant. I rushed her off the train and took her to the nearest hospital. Late that night, Dulcie’s husband, Wallace Lambert, arrived at the hospital with Shane. By then, she had already undergone a D&C. The moment she saw me, she pointed at me and started cursing me out. “Do you have any idea how much I sacrificed for that baby?” Shane blamed me too. “I thought you were just joking when you said you were jealous of Dulcie. I never imagined you’d be cruel enough to do something like this!” I didn’t even get the chance to say a word before Wallace slammed me against the wall and strangled me to death. After I died, Dulcie ended up with Shane. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to three minutes before boarding the train.
