‘Better yet, make her go insane and drive her into the psychiatric ward,’ she replied viciously.
She had hired someone to frighten Ellen, which was the same tactic someone in her university had used in the past to scare a perfectly normal girl into psychosis and a lifetime of medication, leaving her in a tragic state.
As Selena had found out that Ellen lived alone, scaring her was a fatal move. She planned to continue sending people to harass Ellen at night, rendering her unable to live in peace by keeping her on high alert at all times.
In the end, he decided to knock on her door, and he soon heard footsteps inside. Instantly, the door opened to reveal Ellen with her hair down and her forehead coated in a cold sweat, standing by the doorway with an ashen face. From the looks of it, it was clear that she had not slept well at all.
“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” he asked in concern. Ellen nodded and apologized, “Yeah. I don’t think I can go jogging today. I want to rest a bit. longer. Is that all right?”
Ellen gently nodded, not intending to tell him what she encountered last night as she felt that he already had enough work to deal with every day.
After she went back to sleep, she felt much more reinvigorated when she reawakened at eleven o’clock. Subsequently, she deleted the pictures from her phone.
In the afternoon, Jared headed to the company while she stayed at home, leisurely spending her time taking care of the cat and plants. Every afternoon at three, Jared would order a different set of afternoon tea desserts for her accompanied by a gift box, satisfying her taste buds while also giving her a new surprise each day.
When night fell, he took her out for dinner at a restaurant nearby. “Tell me, what nightmare did you have last night?” Jared asked worriedly, wondering what she dreamed of that sent her breaking into a cold sweat.
“Nothing, I just thought of something scary,” Ellen lied, not wanting to bring up the grotesque pictures to him on such a romantic night.
Keenly sensing that something was off about her, Jared handed her a glass of water and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel sick?”
As she had expected, she was unable to continue eating after looking at the plates of meat and ended her meal with only vegetables.
After dinner, Jared took her home, and the two watched documentaries on the couch in the living room. Ellen enjoyed watching historical documentaries, and so did Jared. But right now, he wasn’t paying attention to the television screen.
He stood up and got himself a glass of tea, and upon taking his seat again, he sat next to Ellen and naturally draped his long arm over her shoulders.
Sensing his intentions, she shifted her posture and allowed his arm to slide down her shoulder and wrap around her waist. At this, Jared did not have the guts to take a step further and was satisfied by letting her watch the documentary in his arms.
Before they realized it, it was already eleven. Recalling that he still had heaps of work to deal with the next day, Ellen decided not to take up any more of his time and said, “It’s late. Let’s head upstairs to sleep!”
“Okay.” Jared nodded before adding, “Just come to me if you have any nightmares.” Ellen blinked and asked, “Really? Any time?” “Of course!” Jared’s lips curled into a smile. He didn’t mind holding her while he slept at all.
Exhausted after the long day, Ellen returned to her bed after taking a bath and listening to her favorite music before she gradually drifted to sleep.
A voice continued to sound from the other end as if it were cursing her. “Ellen, I won’t let you off easily. You’ve been surrounded by evil spirits, and the Grim Reaper will take your life soon. You’ll die a horrible, horrible death.”
Soon after, a demonic wail sounded, sending chills down her spine. The curses kept pouring in from the other end of the phone, and she hung up while gasping for air.
Just then, a frightened bird suddenly fluttered. out of the darkness outside the window, causing her heart to skip a beat in fear. Immediately after, her phone began to flood with text messages once again, and she knew what was being sent to her without having to look. As she closed her eyes, the pictures she saw last night involuntarily emerged in her mind.
At that moment, her phone rang again. However, she chose to turn it off instead of looking at it, but she was unable to fall asleep again. Hence, she stayed up until dawn, and it was only after she saw the morning sun that she dared to close her eyes and fall asleep. peacefully.
Upon hearing the footsteps on the stairs, he turned around and looked at her in concern. “Just woke up? Did you have another nightmare?”
Ellen nodded, looking completely out of it. Jared stood up and poured a glass of warm water for her, which she accepted gratefully. Just as she was considering telling him what had happened in the past two nights, his phone rang.
Upon hearing the sound of his phone ringing, Ellen was suddenly reminded of the prank calls and clamped her mouth shut. “Can’t you turn them down?” After the person on the other end replied, he conceded helplessly, “All right.”
Upon saying that, he hung up and said to Ellen, “I have something to attend to tonight and will be coming home late. Will you be fine at home alone?”
Ellen nodded and replied breezily, “I’ll be fine.” Jared walked over and rubbed her hair, saying, “Okay, I’ll try to come back earlier.”
After Jared left for the company in the afternoon, Ellen sat next to Milkshake on the couch when her phone suddenly rang. After casting it a glance and noticing that it was an unregistered number, albeit a different one, she hesitated before turning on the speaker and answering the call.
“Ellen… Ellen…” A ghastly cry suddenly sounded from the other end, only calling out her name.
Ellen hurriedly hung up the call, tensing in fear, but she soon heard her phone chiming with a chain of notifications again. She looked at her phone. Although she chose not to be afraid, she couldn’t help but wonder to herself.
Who exactly is pranking me? Whose bad side did I get on? Even after thinking about it carefully, she could only recall the issue with Connor, but she felt that he would not try to scare her with these tactics. In that case, was it Selena or Olivia?
Ellen bit her lip, realizing that this was certainly something they would do. Outside the window, the sun was about to set. Ellen normally enjoyed this sight as she loved when the sky was getting dark, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat in fear.
As the villa was too spacious and empty except for Milkshake which was in her arms, Ellen lost her appetite for dinner and only stayed on the couch in the living room. Just then, her phone rang.
She instantly jolted in fear, but upon seeing that the call was from Jared, she let out a small sigh of relief and answered, “Hello?” “Have you eaten?”
After hanging up, she suddenly realized that Milkshake had disappeared. If it had escaped outside at this hour, it would be difficult to find it. “Milkshake! Where did you go, Milkshake?”
As Ellen spoke, she picked up her phone and walked toward the exit of the living room. She didn’t notice that, just inside the back cushion, there was a small tail that belonged to Milkshake swaying in the air. Milkshake was on the couch all along. “Milkshake, don’t run around. Where are you?” Ellen called out, heading outside to search for the cat.
Ellen ended up trailing into the garden as she was searching, but just then, her phone rang again. After taking a glance at her phone, she saw that it was yet another unknown number. Although the number was different, she knew that it was a prank call even without picking up.
Thus, she decided not to answer and silenced her phone as she still needed it to light her way. However, she could still feel the chilling wind sweeping around her, leaving her with no choice but to return to the living room.
However, her phone continued to ring with calls, all from unknown numbers, and she soon had more than ten missed calls before she realized it. This urging was torture on her mind, leaving her with no choice but to turn off her phone.
As time slowly ticked by, the autumn breeze roared harshly as Ellen curled up on the couch.. Although her surroundings were brightly illuminated, the silence seemed even louder after she turned off her phone.
At that moment, she was enshrouded by her memories, unable to get rid of them no matter how hard she tried. Her mental state slowly got chipped away bit by bit, as if she were stuck in a maze without an exit.
Jared was just deep in thought about his work when he looked up and saw a figure flashing toward him. Immediately after, Ellen jumped into his arms, firmly wrapping her arms around him.
He jolted in surprise at first, but he soon sensed something off about her. She was hugging him extremely tightly as if she were afraid of something.
Jared returned her embrace and gently caressed the back of her head, asking gently, “What’s wrong?”
Just then, her phone rang again. Clearly, the prankster was not only calling her after midnight. As long as her phone was turned on, they would keep calling her.
Ellen jolted at the sound, and as she looked at her phone, Jared reached out and took her phone with his large hand, asking, “Do you want to pick it up?”
“Someone’s pranking me by scaring me through the phone,” she replied.
Hearing that, he answered the call, only to hear a harrowing cry from the other end. “Ellen Reiss, I won’t let you off easily. I’ll turn into a spirit and haunt you for the rest of your life.”
Jared’s handsome face darkened as he immediately hung up. Just as he was about to return Ellen’s phone to her, a large number of text message notifications sounded on her phone.
Seeing that he was about to open the texts, she hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t look, those are all scary pictures.”
