The hairdryer continued to whir loudly as she blew her hair dry with it. Right then, she saw a shadow flash across the room from the mirror.

Startled, she spun round at once and looked behind where the shadow had flashed by.

No one was there, though.

It was as if what she had seen earlier was nothing but a figment of her imagination.

Surely, it can’t be an illusion.

She had perfect eyesight. There was no way she could have gotten it wrong. Plus, she saw it clearly.

Her frightened heart skipped a beat.

The doors were properly locked; how could anyone have gotten inside?

A keycard was required to enter the hotel room.

Unless it was the hotel’s staff with a spare keycard, no one would be able to enter.

“Who is it?!” she shouted.

No one responded, though.

With her fists balled up, she nervously stepped out of the bathroom and gave a sweeping look of bewilderment across the huge living room. Nothing seemed suspicious or out of place, though.

This luxury suite that she was staying in came with a bedroom and a living room, yet there was no one else in sight.

Did I… really see wrongly?

The woman frowned tiredly.

I’m probably exhausted!

Her fully packed schedule left her little time to rest for the past few days. Hence, she surmised that she had seen wrongly due to exhaustion.

At the thought of this, her heart finally settled down. She went back to the bathroom to finish up drying her hair, and once she was done, she tied the knot to her bathrobe and headed straight to the bedroom.

As she pushed open the bedroom door, a blast of cold air from the window assaulted her.

She could not help knitting her brows in astonishment.

Eh?

Why are the windows open?

She recalled… closing them and drawing the curtains earlier.

Now, the windows were wide open. As her suite was on a relatively high floor, the wind kept gushing in from outside and making the curtains flap around.

Bewildered, she walked over to close them and instantly keenly detected another presence in the deadly silent room.

The woman stiffened as her heart pounded thunderously.

She bit hard on her lower flap; her body, which had stiffened at once, refused to cooperate and move.

Her awareness had always been abnormally keen. The wind was howling loudly earlier, but once the windows were closed, the huge bedroom instantly quieted down, and as such, she clearly felt another unfamiliar presence in the room!

Like a beast with eyes on its prey, the person had a terrifying and invasive aura. She could even feel a penetrating gaze on her back!

Who is it?

Just as she moved to turn around and put up a defense, she heard the sound of aggressive footsteps getting louder behind her and caught a towering figure closing in on her from her periphery!

She did not even manage to get a clear look of his face before—

Bang!

A powerful figure pressed hard against her, trapping her in front of the cold windowpane.

“Ahhhh!”

She struggled wildly against him in panic. Just as she tried to scream, she felt the man’s big hands groping all over her body and then tugging off the knot between her waist.
