“I want to sever all ties with all of you.”
Meanwhile, her friends had just been allowed to leave the restaurant.
As soon as they got their phones back, Debbie’s message popped up on their screens simultaneously. Immediately, their faces flooded with shock at her words.
“What’s wrong, Debbie?”
Having lost his patience, Jared called her directly. Soon, Kristina found a new post in her Moments on WeChat.
“The whole world has abandoned me!”
“Debbie, what’s happened? Some bodyguards took us to a big dinner tonight. The meal was fantastic. But they took away all of our phones, which was weird. We have just gotten our phones back, and received your messages. Why did you say that? What’s wrong?” Jared poured out in a flow as soon as the call was answered.

‘It must be the work of that Evil Carlos, ‘ Debbie suspected.
“Oh, I’m fine and just going to sleep. How are you guys?”
“We’re fine too. We’ve been wondering who invited us to that dinner. We thought of calling you to join us, but we didn’t have our phones, you know,” Jared joked.
Debbie’s friends wouldn’t have dragged her into the dinner recklessly, without knowing who those bodyguards worked for.
It puzzled them immensely why someone would anonymously invite them to a dinner out of the blue and force them to eat.
Finding herself in no mood to talk, Debbie looked out the window. After a flash of lightning caught her by surprise, she got out of bed and drew the curtains.
“Go back to the dorm quickly. I think it’s going to rain soon,” she said to Jared.
“Okay. See you tomorrow. Good night.”
At 1 a.m. there was a heavy downpour. The sound of emptiness was disrupted by the loud gregarious boom of thunder which Lit up the entire room.
Debbie clutched the covers tightly. Generally, she wasn’t scared as long as the lights were on, but tonight, her visit to the martyrs’ park had frightened the life out of her.
Lying in bed, she turned and rolled, afraid to close her eyes. Feeling restless, she took her phone from the night table and started to read the updates on Weibo. Outside, the rain was getting heavier. A jagged bolt of white hot lightning split the chilly sky, and within seconds the rolling boom of the thunder reverberated overhead.
As if things weren’t bad enough, an introduction of a horror novel popped up on her screen. The book was about the wedding of the dead.
The pictures of a coffin and a dead bride in a wedding gown, along with the introduction was cripplingly horrifying.
Debbie was so shaken up, she could barely suppress her scream. She sat up immediately and looked around her bedroom.
A few deep breaths steadied her rapid heartbeats. Only then did she remember that Carlos was in the next room.
‘At this late hour, he must be sleeping.’
Here, she was losing her mind, trembling in fear, while he was sound asleep in the next room? Life could be so unfair sometimes. ‘Hmph, he wishes! *
