Dangerous Liaison

6

When we arrived at the dining hall, Dwayne was already enjoying a piece of steak. He sliced it with the sharp silver knife in his hand. A pool of blood appeared on the plate instantly.

Some blood splashed on the table. He was slightly annoyed by his clumsiness and wiped it with a napkin.

I looked at the blood-soaked white cloth in his hand and instantly retched.

As a result, I returned to the bedroom without eating anything.

The clock on the wall pointed to nine o'clock.

I stared at the tightly shut door. I was struggling in my heart. Should I run or not?

Where can I run to if I escape?

Even if I escaped from the bedroom, wouldn't the rest of the places and scenes still be in the novel?

I couldn't escape at all.

At this thought, I felt much more relaxed.

Since I couldn't escape, I had to face it.

I thought of what the maid had said, "If you can't escape, find a place to hide."

I began to search the room for a such place.

Unfortunately, there was none!
