Serena's words lingered in Suzy's mind, carving themselves deep: "That man looked quite a bit like you..."
0010: 00000 0000000000 000000000:
She had seen him before-the man Serena described was the sone she'd encountered that night at
Evangeline's estate.
If what Serena said was true, that the man had lived here since childhood, then perhaps he wasn't who Suzy
thought he might be.
The more she thought about it, the more tangled her thoughts became, like an unsolvable knot.
As she was trying to make sense of it all, the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.
Suzy assumed it was a power outage and reached for her phone to use its flashlight, but before she could, she
sensed someone's presence approaching her.
Her first instinct was that it must be another of that woman's lackeys.
Quickly orienting herself to the sound of the footsteps, she prepared to attack, but a voice interrupted her.
"You already know too much. If you value your life, you should leave now and go back to where you cfrom."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuzy was speechless.
It wasn't an assassin?
Suzy let out a soft laugh. "You sound more like a friend than an enemy. Since you're so concerned about me, why
not drop the mystery and tellwho you are?"
"I may not be your enemy, but I'm not your friend either," the voice replied coldly. "I'm here to ensure that
innocent people don't get hurt because of you. There are things better left unknown. If you continue down this
path, those around you will suffer consequences they don't deserve."
Suzy scoffed. "What's that supposed to mean? You're saying | shouldn't know certain things? Are you implying
I'm in the wrong here? Maybe you should check your facts-they were the ones who cafterfirst."
"Sometimes it's better to let things go. A bit of patience can bring peace, and taking a step back can give you a
clearer perspective."
Suzy's curiosity flared. "You seem awfully concerned about me. Did someone send you to softenup? Or are
you here to threatenin sroundabout way?"
The person fell silent for a long moment before speaking again. "I've said what | needed

1. to. Think carefully about the consequences. Don't let those around you end up like Dylan Wright. If that
happens, regret will ctoo late."
With those words, Suzy heard the faint sound of the person turning and walking away.
Realizing he was about to leave, Suzy narrowed her eyes but kept her composure. Just as he opened the door,
she moved swiftly, leaping off the bed and slamming her hand down on his shoulder.
"Leaving without even showing your face? That's a bit rude, don't you think?"
As she spoke, Suzy flicked the light switch near the door. The room, which had been shrouded in darkness, was
instantly bathed in bright light. She thought she'd finally get a good look at him, but his reflexes were just as
quick.
Dodging her grasp with ease, the man slipped through the door and bolted down the hallway.
Suzy wasn't about to let him get away. She chased after him, her strides long and purposeful, cornering him at
the far end of the corridor where there was nowhere left to
run.
He stood there, his back to her, unmoving.
"Why won't you face me?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuzy's gaze sharpened as she studied him. "Why won't
"It won't do you any good," the man said, his voice calm but distant.
"And why not?"
you're so hide Suzy pressed, taking a slow step closer. "What are you hiding? Or is it that
you're so hideous you're afraid you'll scare me?"
The man remained silent, but Suzy continued, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. "Relax. I've got nerves of steel.
Even if you look like a monster, | promise | won't run screaming."
As she spoke, the gap between them narrowed. Suzy inched closer and closer, her hand almost brushing his
shoulder again.
But just as she was about to grab him, the man suddenly pushed open a nearby window. Without a moment's
hesitation, he leapt through it.
