Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 3

Chapter

That day, I was in so much pain that I fainted

When I woke up, it was daytime. That was six days before the incident

After the rain, the sun was shining brightly. I struggled to get up from the ground. The blood between my legs had already dried

I’m scared, Michael. What should we do?” 

Yasmin’s cries were coming from the living room. She kept shaking as she said she was targeted by the killer

She was afraid to die

Michael, we’ve checked the surveillance footage. Yasmin was indeed targeted. Should we call the police?” 

No, MichaelDon’t call the police. This killer is cruel and specifically targets young women

The police have already found six bodies, but they can’t even find him. If we were to anger him… 

Yasmin shook her head in fear. She didn’t want to call the police at all

Yas, don’t be afraid.Michael held onto Yasmin as he comforted her gently

It wasn’t like he didn’t know how to be gentle. It was just that he had never shown me the slightest bit of gentleness

I stood still and felt awkward. It felt wrong to leave. But it didn’t feel right to stay either

Yasmin, when you were in Serenity Lane yesterday, what were you wearing?Michael’s best buddy, Zack Ziegler, asked

A red onepiece dress.After Yasmin said that, she glanced at me. Stephie” 

I didn’t say anything and avoided her gaze. I walked to the kitchen with py legs shaking. I wanted to get something to eat

Michael, I have a plan. Let’s lure out the killer and catch him before we call the police

That way, we can prevent him from seeking revenge on Yasmin if we fail. At least, it feels safer that way,Zack suggested as he looked at Michael

Michael nodded. Continue.” 

Let’s find a woman to wear Yasmin’s dress and go to Serenity Lane at midnight to lure that guy out. There’ll be cameras everywhere, and we will be watching closely. Nothing will go wrong.” 

Michael frowned. What a terrible idea. Are you letting your girlfriend do it?” 

Yasmin’s gaze 

fell on me once again. She asked softly, Stephie, you don’t look too well. Are you okay

Chapter

” 

Why care about her? She almost got you killed.Michael held tightly onto Yasmin as he spoke with 

annoyance

My hand froze, even with a cup of hot coffee in it. The pain in my heart instantly spread all over me

Then, let her do it! We already have a candidate here!” 

She almost got Yasmin killed. She owes Yasmin one, so let her atone for her sins!” 

That’s right! Let Stephanie do it. She resembles Yasmin a little anyway, so she should go!” 

I looked at Michael in panic, hoping to hear him reject the idea

He clearly knew that I was afraid of the dark. Why in the world would I go somewhere shady like that… 

Michael was stunned for a while. He looked at me with his cold gaze for a long time before speaking

You owe Yasmin one, so you must do it

That one reply from him felt like a thousand arrows piercing through me

My fingers went numb. I lost grip of the cup full of hot coffee, and it spilled all over my hand

Even though the coffee was piping hot, I felt as if I had lost all senses

I wasted a decade of my life and still failed to warm this man’s heart

On the other hand, Yasmin did it without lifting a finger

I’m not goingI rejected. There was no way I would risk my life like this

Michael, don’t force StephieYasmin’s eyes teared up. Stephie didn’t mean to push me down the 

stairs.” 

Stop defending her!Michael suddenly erupted with rage

Even Yasmin 

Even Yasmin was shocked

Michael got up and rushed toward me

I shook my head in dread. Michael, I’m not going!” 

It’s not up to you!Michael was determined to make me go

We’ll be keeping watch and not let you die.It sounded like Michael was making a promise to me
