She carved away a piece of flesh, leaving a trail of warm blood behind.
When I finally dared to open my eyes, I met Serena's gaze, filled with a twisted sense of satisfaction.
"Without this mole, I’ll be the only one in Simon’s heart from now on!"
After that, she left with everyone.
I fell to my knees, feeling the warmth of my own blood mixed with tears as they hit the ground in small, red droplets. Each one a bloom on the floor.
I could not understand why this was happening.
Was this really what Simon wanted?
I took a deep breath.
I endured the pain as I groped my way along the dim light.
Not long after, I finally found a gap, pushing through and emerging directly into the center of the ballroom.
"Ahhh!"
The guests recoiled in shock as they saw me covered in blood and mud. They screamed and their eyes widened with fear.
They immediately surrounded me like I was a stranger to them.
"Oh my god, what’s going on? Why would something like this come out of the richest man’s basement?"
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Look at her face. It’s disfigured. God, she’s covered in blood, it’s terrifying."
