The Woman From Hell

I was

shocked and quickly turned on the light. It was Theo. Dressed in black, he was seated quietly by the be

Why did this man always like to scare me by sitting on the edge of the bed like this?

I patted my chest, feeling relieved, “You scared me.”

“You did not do anything wrong. What is there to be afraid of?” He said calmly.

“People could really scare other people to death, don‘t you know that?” I rolled my eyes at him and sat

up straight.

I had just woke up with sleepy eyes, and my hair messy. I had not changed out of my mightgown yet. I r
