Husband With Benefits

Olivia shuddered at the malice on Emma’s face. Until now, she had been worried about Emma being a threat but suddenly things felt much more real. She’d guessed that Emma had been behind the accident and behind that oil with the poisoned fumes. Of course she had also given her something just now to make her dizzy.

She needed to escape. Finally, the knot on her hands had come undone which meant that she would have to take action before anything Emma realized what to do. Carefully, she wrapped the rope around her and started to think of an escape plan. At the moment, they were too close to each other and Emma stood between the escape route and her.

With her pregnancy, she would not be able to run fast so she’d need to make sure that Emma couldn’t follow her immediately.

However, as she reached it to turn around the handle, she realized that it was locked...She jiggled the door handle, praying desperately that it would open by some miracle. But it would not budge. There was no key hole, nothing that would tell her how to get this open.

She could still hear, Emma’s gloating voice echoing in the room," It unlocks from outside, Olivia. You see, I could not risk something like this. You’re going to be trapped in here with me, forever... or Until ’the end. Your end.’

Ignoring her, Olivia pounded on the door, desperately screaming," Help! Is somebody there?"

Even if no one could hear her, she would not give up and go down without a fight. Even if she had to scream until she could no longer make a sound.

Just as Emma continued to gloat, and Olivia felt more and more hopeless,
