The road was desolate since it is too cold in winters and the sunset is early. Due to the dark days, many men finish their work early and leave for their homes.
And Ophelia had taken the desolate path intentionally to hide her steps that lead others toward the abode of girls. But who would have thought that these foolish men would follow her in such a dark path.
Even if she would shout, no one is there to help her. She had to find another way.
"What if I don't, huh? Ophelia, why are you so cold to me when you show that perfect smile of yours to everyone around you?" he took a step closer to her when she took a step back.
Fear started to dwindle down when she realized she did not have any other way to run too.
The only way towards her house was behind this man, her neighbor who often tries to molest her when he finds her alone. What a jerk.
