After Going Crazy On The ScumbagChapter 1 Locking Me Inside
It was around 2 a.m. when the house started to shake.
I noticed Rob Kaufman getting out of bed to rummage through a drawer.
Outside, the noise of a panicked crowd echoed through the air.
"Earthquake! Run!" someone shouted.
As I was getting out of bed, Rob glanced at me and then bolted out the door without a second thought.
Only after he was gone did I realize that he had locked the door behind him.
In that moment of panic, I knew no one could save me.
We lived on the ninth floor. Jumping out the window would be certain death.
I quickly messaged my parents, telling them that Rob had locked me inside.
If I died, I wanted to make sure the police knew I was trapped.
I was convinced Rob was after the insurance money.
Six months ago, he had taken out a life insurance policy on me worth over a million dollars.
He was the beneficiary.
He had even assured me back then, "If anything happens to you, I'll take care of your parents."
Now it all made sense why he wanted me dead.
My parents called, saying they couldn't reach Rob. They told me to hide under a table while they rushed over.
