Chapter 4
“Stop playing dead!” Jack kicked my body aside and rushed into the room, maniacally trying to find signs of life.
He looked at the broken window that I had smashed.
“Whitney! How dare you! You’d risk your life jumping out of the 28th floor? You even found two fake bodies to trick me!”
My body had shown signs of rigor mortis. When Jack kicked my body, it turned over; my eyes looked right at him.
The sight of my body annoyed Jack, so he got someone to take it away.
“Sir, this isn’t a fake body.”
Jack grabbed his subordinate by the collar. “What else could it be if not a fake body? Take it away from me! And find Whitney! I
want her to apologize to me in person!”
Jack’s emotions were unstable. His subordinate did not dare to disobey him, so he called Albert instead.
Our bodies were stored away for the time being. Jack also threw a fit at home. He kept saying that he would get me back.
Albert picked up his walking cane and hit Jack.
“You monster! You promised me!”
Promises were only valid when they were made. People would change over time. Jack’s change of attitude toward me started
when Sandra appeared.
Jack and I went to the same university. We got engaged upon Albert’s request. I thought my happy life was about to start.
That was until we bumped into Sandra, who came from the countryside.
Sandra was my roommate. She was always in a white cotton dress. Even if it looked old and yellow, she still looked clean and tidy.
She told me that her mother left her and her father when she was very young because their family was poor.
Her father was an alcoholic who would hit her when he got drunk..
She was raised by her grandmother.
