My Three Darlings by Anonymous novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

It was so quiet that even the sound of the breeze could be heard.

“Ding dong-”

Eliza’s phone rang, indicating low battery.

Worried, she turned off the flashlight and hoped that she could use the dwindling power to call Graciana.

However, as soon as she dialed the number, the phone screen went black.

It ran out of battery.

All of a sudden, the surrounding darkness overwhelmed her and she couldn’t catch her breath.

Eliza felt her heart drumming against her chest as anxiety struck her.

The quiet darkness was like a monster baring its fangs and engulfing her whole. She was terrified of the darkness.

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, she called out for help desperately. O

“Is anyone here? Please!”

“Please save me!”

“Is anybody here?”

She knocked on the door as hard as she could, hoping that the noise would attract the passersby’s attention.

Even after her throat was sore from shouting and her hand was throbbing in pain from banging on the door, still, nobody came to help her.

In the end, Eliza leaned against the door as she wallowed in despair.

The wound on her shoulder started pulsing in pain again.

When they were on set just now, Eliza could feel Jay’s fingers digging into her shoulder, causing the healing wound to rip apart once again.

Now that she had woken up, her fear of darkness was greater than the pain in her shoulder.

However, she could still feel her shoulder throbbing in excruciating pain.

She closed her eyes.

All of a sudden, memories of five years ago flashed before her eyes. That man and her dead baby flooded her mind.

“Your lips are so soft and sweet…”

“Shame on you, b*tch!”

“How shameless can you be! You literally just sold your body to another man!”

“You can’t even protect your own baby. You don’t deserve to live!”

“How dare you ask me for money when the baby is dead!”

Memories of the past struck at her all at once.

She froze in motion, not daring to breathe. Deep inside, she knew that she didn’t deserve to be alive.   Tears rolled down her cheeks as she tugged at her hair with her fingers. Only through experiencing pain could she stop thinking about her terrible past. However, it didn’t seem to work at all.

She was trapped in the darkness for a long time. “Bang!” Suddenly, someone kicked the door and it was forced open. At that moment, the lights from outside filtered into the dark room. Eliza looked up instantly.

Beau, who was dressed in a green windbreaker, stood at the entrance.

From her point of view, he looked really tall.

The lights in the corridor illuminated his figure.

As he walked toward her slowly, her heart grew fonder of him with every step.

Right at that moment, she came to a realization that he was in fact, the light of her life.

He was the blazing light who could get rid of the darkness of her heart and the nightmares that had been shrouding her with misery.

“Eliza.”

He walked to her side and called out her name in a low voice.

She teared up and happiness welled up inside her.

Almost instinctively, she threw herself into his arms. “Mr. Valentine…”

She wrapped her hands around his body tightly. From her trembling body, he could see that she was beyond frightened.

Beau looked down and said, “It’s okay. You’re okay now.”

“Okay.”

Outside the room, the boss of Parson Media, the management, and the representatives of the set stood at two sides of the entrance as they bowed respectfully.

When Beau walked out with Eliza in his arms, everyone lowered their heads and held their breath.

Just as Beau reached the car door, the boss of Parson Media, Tom Ellis, mustered up his courage and approached him, “Mr. Valentine, this is an accident.”

“Such accidents rarely happen in Parson Media…” Beau looked up and said coldly. ‘Is this your way of welcoming your new boss?” Although he sounded indifferent, his threat was implicit, yet very obvious. Tom shivered with fear upon hearing his words.   He shook his head and stuttered nervously, “I will investigate this and find the culprit.” “I’ll give you one day to find out who it is.”

After that, he got into the car and the black Maserati sped into the night.

Tom stood there with his head dipped low. When the car disappeared from view, only then did he heaved in a deep breath and yelled, “Find the culprit now! Work overtime if you have to!”
