What did he mean by “I know what to do”? Arianne had a sneaking suspicion that he was “starting his engine”, but the stern look on his face told her that that was not the case… As a result, she was beginning to suspect that something had gone wrong with her mind.
He fell asleep as soon as he lay down; perhaps he was over exhausted.
Arianne carefully lay on the bedside after her shower. She couldn’t sleep but was too afraid of moving too much. That feeling was really unbearable.
Suddenly, Mark’s phone rang. As it happens, it was left on the bedside cabinet next to her. She got up and stole a glance. The lit phone screen showed one part of a message: ‘Mark, darling, are you asleep? I was wrong, I miss you. Can you come…’
The next part of the message wasn’t shown, but she could guess what it contained—Aery wanted to see him!
If she had to make a distinction, her hatred towards Mark was considered helpless and weak. However, her hatred towards Aery and Helen was as overwhelming as the sea.
A “wicked” idea formulated in her head. She would answer the message for him. Unfortunately, when she picked up the phone, she found that it was password-protected.
Arianne carefully racked through her memories. She remembered seeing Mark typing in a password on a separate occasion. Knowing him, he would prefer using the same numbers.
She gave it a try and keyed in the numbers 1027. As expected, the phone unlocked.
“He’s asleep,” was the reply she sent.
