Revenge After Death

Everyone held their breath and glanced at their surroundings cautiously.

I leaned against the wall breathing rapidly. Then, I looked down at my own hands only to find them covered in blood...

I'd only cut Mark's arm with the knife though, there shouldn't be this much blood on my hands.

I tucked my hand behind my back instinctively and tried to hastily rub the blood off.

It wasn't me... I didn't kill him.

But why was there so much blood on my hands?

"It's her!" Howard suddenly accused. "I saw the blood on her hands."

"Lunatic... all the people around the lunatic are also lunatics!"

Everyone started getting worked up.

"If it were up to me, I say we should kill his wife if he didn't let us out." Howard said in a low voice, trying to turn me into their target.

"Yeah! Let us out, or else we'll kill her!" They surrounded me and yelled at the camera.

My entire body froze as I sat on the floor.

"Killing me won't do anything. Steven isn't the one behind all of this," I said. "Even if he was... Killing me would still be useless-he's already abandoned me."

"Killing you would still be an excellent outlet for my anger," Someone scoffed.

I clenched my fists and tried to calm myself.

Then, I said, "Instead of wasting time on me, you should be looking for an exit before the lights go off again,

"Haven't you realized that someone dies every time it blacks out? If I had the strength to kill someone and hang them from the ceiling, I wouldn't be sitting here listening to your bullshit."

I leaned against the wall and got on my feet, staring cautiously at the people around me.

They could make a move anytime, and I only had myself for defense right now.

"I found the exit!"

Just as Howard was about to provoke them further, Michael's voice rang out from the other end of the corridor.

Everyone immediately turned around and rushed in the direction of his voice.

"Stephie..." He ran over from the opposite direction.

Then, he took a backward glance and said softly, "They're already on the 16th floor. Follow me."Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He held my wrist and led me down the end of the corridor.

My breathing got heavier and my headache worsened.

Just as we got to the exit, the entire floor blacked out again with a loud snap.

Howard and the rest of them were already downstairs, only me Michael were technically s standing on the 17th

belongs to Stet

My heart immediately leaped to my throat.

In the dark, I seemed to instinctively push Michael onto the top of the staircase.

"Go..."

A loud bang was heard.

I stood beside the stairwell and felt someone shove me from behind in the dark. Then, I fell down the stairs.

As I fell down the building, I heard Michael's panicked voice.

"Stephanie!"

The minute hit the ground, I felt

incredibly dazed from the impachet

couldn't feel the pain, but it feltdike my consciousness and my body were separated.

The stairwell wasn't that high up, so it didn't get me killed.

The entire 16th floor was lit-up. I felt like my nose was bleeding, and my consciousness was slowly slipping away.

...

I didn't know how long I was unconscious for. I heard people arguing.

"You still think she's Stephanie, don't you? How many times do I need to tell you that she's a fraud?"

"You're thinking too much."Michael's voice was low, as though he was suppressing his anger.

"What is it then? Why did you go back to save her? Why were you so anxious when she fell down? "Why are you so afraid? Are you in love with her?"

Yasmin snapped relentlessly. At that moment, she didn't look like 'Stephanie' at all.

Even if it were me staying at the Fords' after I lost my memory, I would've never questioned Michael that way.

Poor Michael... Putting up with this and pretending to believe in her lies.

"Is she alright? She's not dead is she?" Joel mumbled at the side.

Quinn caressed my forehead and said in a soft voice, "It's nothing serious, I'm only worried she has concussion. We should get her out to a hospital as soon as possible."

"Are all her limbs intact?" He threw out a series of questions but none of them were any good.

I only felt the excruciating pain from all over my body when I forced my eyes open.

Unable to suppress it, I let out a sound of pain.

"She's awake!" Joel rushed over in joy and helped me up. "Are you alright?"
