Bella's worries

With cold eyes, Sea approached the unconscious Archer.

Drrt...

Archer's phone vibrated with the screen on.

Sea immediately grabbed the flat object.

After checking, it turned out to be a message from his wife Archer.

Bella wrote a message for her husband.

[Archer, is it true that you are going home tomorrow? Daniel and Diana keep asking about your return over and over]

The writing in a message sent by Bella.

"You, Bastard! Married, but still likes other women," Sea mumbled.

Sea immediately replied to messages from Bella.

[Dear wife, forgive your husband, maybe tomorrow I can't go home. And if I'm not found until next month, you can find another man to replace me] Sea wrote.

After the message was sent, Sea took out the card and battery from her phone.

Then she threw it in the trash.

"All right, Mister Archer, I'll keep you from cheating forever," Sea mumbled as she pulled Archer's body.

The high dose of sleeping pills Sea had given Archer now left Archer completely unable to do anything.

He didn't wake up even though Sea pulled his body and carried him to the basement.

When she arrived in the room, this was what Sea had been waiting for.

The blue-eyed woman started talking to the dry corpses she thought of as her family. Sea introduced Archer to all of them.

"Hey everyone, I found trash on the street, maybe you won't accept it, this man can't be a family, but at least we can make him a servant!" Sea's smirked.

"I'll put you here, Mister Archer. I'll kill a man like you slowly. Because if I kill him too soon, it will be unpleasant," she concluded with a faint smile. Sea tied all of Archer's hands and feet with rope.

"I like torturing you, ah... not torturing, but to playing," said Sea, smiling sarcastically.

After that, she came out of the basement.

And from behind the window Sea saw her neighbor's house still looked empty.

"She hasn't come home yet, has she?"

"Haha good..."

Sea sits on the sofa reading a cookbook.

Meanwhile, Bella looks furious after receiving a chat reply from Archer.

"Why, Archer, reply to my messages with words like these?" Bella mumbled.

She tried many times to call her husband but the number was off.

"Archer, what are you doing, baby!" Bella was getting worried. Her face panicked, she paced back and forth with her hand on the phone, hoping her husband would pick up the phone from her.

"Mom, why haven't you slept yet?" asked Diana, Bella's little daughter.

"Ah, I called your Dad, honey," Bella replied.

"Mom, Dad said, he's at work, so better get some sleep, don't disturb, Dad," Diana said.

Bella stroked her daughter's hair.

The girl who is now only 5 years old looked at her mother's face in disbelief.

There seems to be a problem with her mother.

But Diana didn't know what the problem was, she didn't understand adult problems.

"Diana, do you want to sleep now?" Bella asked Diana.

"Yes, Mom. I want to sleep, but you also have to sleep, I want to sleep while being hugged with you," said Diana.

A request that Diana rarely made.

Usually, the little girl with wavy blonde hair is always independent, doesn't need to ask for a hug while sleeping, she even dares to go to the toilet alone at night.

Diana and Daniel are very brave and independent children.

But somehow tonight Diana wanted to sleep in her mother's arms.

Bella was surprised by Diana's different attitude than usual

"Diana, so sleep now?"

"Yes, Mom,"

"Come on let's go to sleep let me hug you," said Bella.

"Okay, Mom," answered Diana.

The girl was lying on the bed right next to her brother, Daniel.

Then Bella slept beside her hugging Diana.

Bella slowly asked Diana.

"Diana, you want to be hugged by Mom, what's the matter?" she asked.

"I'm scared, Mom," answered Diana.

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm just scared, somehow I feel bad, Mom. I always remember dad's face," explained Diana.

'Why is Diana talking like that, it turns out that we feel the same. Oh my God, what is this? Please protect Archer,' Bella said to herself.

Even though she was worried about her husband's condition, Bella couldn't look fragile in front of her daughter, because that would only make Diana sadder.

"Diana, trust, if your Dad is okay," Bella said.

"How, Mom, can talk like that?" The innocent girl asked again.

"...because Daddy, currently at work, can't be bothered. Diana is very worried it might be because you miss Daddy. So Diana should sleep, and pray that Dad is okay," Bella said, advising her daughter.

"Is that so, Mom?"

"Okay, let's go to sleep"

In Bella's warm embrace, the little girl finally began to close her eyes and drift off to sleep.

But Bella was still awake, she remembered Alice.

"Ah Alice," Bella nodded her head, "maybe she can help me with giving news about Archer, because the shooting location where Archer works is not far from where Alice lives," Bella immediately got up from her bed and grabbed her. phone again.

Drt...

"Ah, who's calling me at this time of night?" Alice took out her cell phone from her pocket.

The woman just got home.

"Hello, Bella! What's wrong?"

[Alice, may I ask a favor?]

"Of course, if I could, I would help you," Alice replied.

[Alice, please come to the shooting location where Archer works, I want to know Archer's condition,] Bella said.

"What's wrong with your husband?"

[I don't know, he just texted me with a weird sentence, and after that, the number was no longer active. Diana and I were very worried about Archer. So I beg you, please come to Archer's workplace and tell me about his condition,] Bella said.

'If I go there, Archer, it'll think I'm giving him hope,' Alice thought to herself.

[How, Alice, can you help me?] Bella asked.

Although very lazy to meet Archer, Alice also doesn't want to disappoint Bella, so she has to obey Bella's request.

"Ah well, Bella, can you send me the address where Archer works, I'll be there tomorrow morning," Alice said.

[Thanks, Alice, I'll send you the address,] Bella said.

Although not completely calm, at least Bella's mental burden can be reduced, because Alice is willing to help her.
