hapter 127
It was the midnight showing, so the restroom was practically a ghost town. Roslyn checked stall after stall -nothing but echoen.
What Roslyn did not know was that Evangeline was trapped, just one stall over, her heart pounding in her chest. She had heard Roslyn’s calls but before she could yell back. Walter’s hand was clamped over her mouth, silencing her desperate cries.
Evangeline fought like a wildcat, but Walter’s grip was unbreakable, his hands like iron against her lips.
The stall was too big and Walter had her pinned down, leaving her with only one leg free, desperately trying to kick the door to make some noise, to signal Roslyn. It was not enough, however
She was about to lose hope when Roslyn’s voice grew nearer. ‘Please, just a few more steps, Evangeline prayed silently, you’re so close to finding me.
Then, Walter’s chilling whisper slithered into her ear, a dark promise that sent shivers down her spine. “Do you really think Roslyn showing up is going to save you? Don’t bother trying: you’re not getting away
tonight.”
Walter was overpoweringly strong, pinning Evangeline down with his entire body, his hand clamped over her mouth to silence her cries, while his other hand roamed over her with a predatory ease.
“Mmph mmmh!” “Let me go!”
Evangeline squirmed and twisted, trying to escape Walter’s grasp, but her efforts seemed futile.
His touch had grown bolder and more violating, and he was on the verge of crossing an unforgivable line
when
Out of nowhere, a ringtone erupted, making Walter’s body jerk to a halt, and he stopped everything he was doing
Roslyn had been looking for Evangeline for what felt like ages, thinking maybe the bodyguard had just missed seeing Evangeline step out. She was about to head back out the door when the ringing caught her
attention.
She dashed toward the source of the sound, the urgency clear in her steps.
Behind the door, Evangeline, her mouth still covered, had stopped struggling under Walter’s menacing look
it was the sound of Roslyn’s rapid footsteps, not Walter’s glare, that gave her hope and made her stop
“Speaking Who’s this?”
