Stella didn't hold back. Foreman collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
As the bookshelf door slowly closed, Stella slipped into the secret passage.
The moment she stepped inside, the bookshelf behind her slid shut without a sound.
The corridor was cold and narrow. The wall sconces on either side cast a ghostly yellow glow, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Just then, Stella saw a room ahead whose door had not yet closed. The walls inside were plastered with her photos.
There were recent ones and some from long ago, pictures of her at banquets and candid shots from her daily life.
Every single photo was of her.
A pile of her pictures also sat on a nearby table.
The room's dim lighting gave it a sinister, terrifying feel.
Seeing the room full of her photos, a chill spread from Stella's limbs through her entire body.
No wonder Foreman was capable of such extreme acts.
He was truly unhinged.
With that thought, Stella wasted no more time and continued forward.
After walking for what felt like a long time, the path ahead gradually brightened.
At the same time, her surroundings opened up.
Stella saw the light from a doorway.
A surge of joy rose in her heart.
However, when she reached the door, she was greeted by an identical set of locks: passcode, fingerprint, and iris scan.
Foreman was nothing if not cautious.
Stella knew that leaving through the main entrance was almost impossible.
She stood in thought for a moment, then returned to the room filled with her photos.
She had found the room too unsettling before and hadn't inspected it carefully.
This time, she turned on the light and meticulously checked every corner.

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
