I had thought that this would all come to an end, and Emma would stop causing me troubles, especially after Michael had made himself clear to her.
However, it was evident that I had underestimated her jealousy. The next day, the doorbell at home rang.
Upon answering the door, I saw a few tough-looking men standing outside. Taking in their fierce expressions, I somehow had a bad feeling that they were here with no good intentions.
I glanced nervously at them as I asked timidly, “Who are you?”
“Are you Anna Garcia?” The man in lead asked coldly.
“I am. Why are you looking for me?” I had to admit I was terrified to face a few fierce-looking men alone.
“Guys, we’re at the right place!” The man in lead turned around and said to the men behind him.
I frowned in confusion. Just when I was about to ask more, the leader of the group suddenly shoved me aside. He then barged into my house with his men.
They started smashing the furniture and electrical appliances inside without saying anything else. I widened my eyes in shock, my anger slowly surging within me.
“Who are you people? Why are you smashing my stuff?”
I rushed into the living room and shouted at them. This was outrageous. They were smashing my stuff without a valid reason.
However, my efforts to protest were to no avail. They didn’t even look at me as they continued smashing around. One of them even started walking toward the bedroom.
“You’d better stop now! Otherwise, I’d be calling the police. You are trespassing on private property and attacking a citizen. You will go to jail for this!”
Seeing that none of them was paying attention to me, I got even more furious. Everything in this house contained memories of Michael and me. I was devastated to see them being smashed into pieces.
They finally reacted a little to my threat. They shot me fierce glances while one of them walked toward me.
“You want to call the police? Sure, go ahead! I doubt you’d dare to do so!”
He was staring at the phone in my hand as he walked closer and closer toward me with a threatening aura.
I backed away slowly as I trembled in fear. I was terrified at that moment since I had no idea what their intentions were.
“Why are you doing this? I don’t even know you. Why did you barge into my house and start smashing my stuff?” I forced myself to fix my gaze on him as I questioned loudly.
I had never seen these men before, and I knew I never had any grudges with anyone else. As such, I was puzzled by this whole situation.
“We were hired by someone else to do this. Young lady, you have no one but yourself to blame for making such an enemy.”
Upon hearing that, I finally understood that they were merely hired help paid to do someone’s dirty job.
However, I still couldn’t think of anyone else that had bad blood with me, except for Emma.
Is she crazy? She should know how dangerous it is to have a few men barging in when I’m living on my own. Why did she do this?
