Speed Candles novel Chapter 44

The next afternoon, she rushed to the hospital after work to take care of Maisie. When she went back, it was almost ten o’clock.

Recently she got used to living in her apartment and rarely returned to the Morris mansion.

She was used to looking around when she walked alone at night, even when many people coming and going.

Someone unexpected really appeared there. As soon as she arrived at the gate of the apartment, she saw a figure standing under a tree with a flickering red dot.

Seeing her enter the community, that person also followed in. It should be a man at least 5’10’’, dressed in all black.

She was nervous, and whether the man was following her or not, she had to test him, for fear that something dangerous would happen.

She deliberately went to the crowded place and walked another way. It was not until she found that that man disappeared that she felt at ease.

But when she reached the place with few people, the man appeared in a flash. She could choose the road just now, but now, she must pass this road to get to her apartment. Besides, she had already walked halfway, and couldn’t turn back, but she still dared not rush forward.

If she couldn’t run faster than that man, she would bite the hook and be caught by him.

Emily was so scared that she just wanted to run straight away. But when she looked back, she knew very well that she couldn’t run faster than that man. Just now, she took a glance at him and found he must be good at running.

What happened yesterday really made her terrified. Today she met this man. The god of destiny was definitely making fool of her.

“I’ve really had bad luck or whom else have I offended?”

She muttered to herself.

The more she moved forward, the more nervous she was, and her heart was thumping extremely fast.

It’s said that good deeds were blessed by God, but she hadn’t done anything bad...It was Dorothy who deserved to be punished.

When Emily got to the elevator, she felt herself on the verge of total derangement.

Walking into the elevator, she looked back and found that there was no suspicious man behind her except for some pedestrians.

Luckily, nothing dangerous had happened. After a false alarm, she had the illusion of escaping from death. It was exciting and nervous, just like what happened in a Hollywood movie.

When she got to the door of her apartment, she took the key to open the door. Because of her weak vigilance there, she saw a black figure flash into the room just as she entered in, “Hey…who are you...”

When the figure flashed in, she didn’t know what to do. She immediately wanted to get out of the door, but it was too late. He quickly pulled her in, and then the door slammed beside her ear.

Then the back of her head hit the hard door, which hurt badly. But when people were in danger, they would make a lot of unconscious actions. Emily acted faster than consciousness. She raised her hand to push that man and pulled the door directly.

The bag in her hand fell on the floor, and her hand was controlled by that man the moment when she reached out.

There was no light in the room, even though her eyes were wide open, she couldn’t see anything in the dark and the face of the man in front of her.
