“Are you telling the truth?” Flora tilted her head and gazed at me naively as though she was pondering over the credibility of my words.
“It’s true. Why would I fool you? I swear that I will only love Christopher for the rest of my life.” I would have raised my hand to formally swear an oath if I wasn’t restrained on the chair.
“Really?”
Flora kept pacing up and down in the room. One moment, she mentioned Christopher and Tobey’s names softly; the next moment, she gazed at me in confusion and mumbled non-stop. Meanwhile, I grabbed the chance to look around. I realized that we were in a small apartment.
When I saw my handbag on the coffee table, I thought I could escape once I managed to retrieve my phone from it. Unfortunately, I was tied up and could not move an inch. Meanwhile, Flora walked in circles repeatedly.
Is she mentally ill? But if that’s true, how could she speak coherently? Besides, how is it possible that she could plan so meticulously to abduct me?
Thinking that Flora was convinced, I mustered up my courage and said, “As I said, I don’t have any feelings for Tobey. I mean, it’s a waste of time to see him, not to mention marrying him. I’d rather spend my time with my beloved Chris.”
“You’re lying!” Flora shrieked all of a sudden as though I triggered her emotions somehow. Then, she grabbed the knife on the table and swung it before me. I was terrified and worried that she would accidentally stab me to death.
