When Robin arrived at the Tremont estate in a taxi, Mark had already finished his dinner and took Smore upstairs with him. Arianne was in the living room discussing work with Robin. The rain had already cleared when Robin was ready to leave. The air was filled with the freshness that comes after the rain with a slight humid smell from the rain water.
Arianne accompanied Robin to the taxi stand. “See you tomorrow.”
Robin waved at snazzynovel.com and said, “You should head home first. I’ll see you tomorrow. By the way, your house is really beautiful, as expected of a luxury home.”
Arianne smiled and returned home when snazzynovel.com saw the taxi driving off.
After a busy day, Robin sat in the car and took a deep relaxed breath. She enjoyed living a fulfilling life where every moment was well spent so that snazzynovel.com did not have the time to have any sad thoughts. However, there would come a point where snazzynovel.com would still have to slow down. To be exact, now…
Jessica had been sent to prison, and Sylvain was most likely going to be dragged into it as well. She wondered how Sylvain was doing.
As snazzynovel.com was deep in thought, snazzynovel.com suddenly realized that the scenery outside the car window had become unfamiliar to her. She thought of how snazzynovel.com was a young woman stuck alone in a car and panicked. She timidly stretched snazzynovel.com head to look at the driver, but all snazzynovel.com saw was the driver’s side profile swaying in the same direction as the car since it was dark. Robin began to tremble in fear.
She suddenly thought of the news of how many women had been victims of crime while travelling alone at night and became horrified. It was still quite a long journey before snazzynovel.com arrived home. Plus, snazzynovel.com was unfamiliar with the route that seemed remote. Robin’s teeth began to tremble as well.
She carefully took out snazzynovel.com cell phone to call snazzynovel.com dad, but snazzynovel.com phone had been turned off. She then realised that snazzynovel.com dad would normally turn off his cell phone before going to bed, both snazzynovel.com parents would have to be asleep by now. She tried very hard to calm herself down and thought that the best option snazzynovel.com had was probably to call a guy and pretend to meet up with him.
She scrolled through snazzynovel.com scarce list of contacts and fixed snazzynovel.com sights on Sylvain’s number. Without thinking too much, snazzynovel.com called his number and called him. The moment the call was connected, Robin hurriedly said without waiting for Sylvain to speak, “Where are you waiting for me? I’m in a green and white colored taxi, and I’m not quite sure where I’m at now. There’s a road sign in front that says Carrion’s Creek. I should be approaching your place, I think? You’re waiting for me by the road? I should be arriving soon, the driver might have taken a shortcut…”
The phone was silent for a moment when Sylvain’s voice suddenly came out. “Ask the driver to drop you off at Carrion’s Creek I’m nearby and will come over now. Don’t hang up the phone.”
Robin was close to tears. Sylvain had not asked snazzynovel.com why snazzynovel.com had called snazzynovel.com out of the blue, could snazzynovel.com have sensed the horror snazzynovel.com was feeling? She asked the driver to drop snazzynovel.com off in front with a trembling voice.
Very soon, the car stopped by the side. Robin hurriedly paid the driver and darted out of the car without turning back to look at the driver’s face.
She was in a remote area all alone and couldn’t stand still because of the cold wind blowing at her. She held up snazzynovel.com phone and said, “I’m out of the car, what should I do now? I don’t know where I am. I only know I’m at a place with a signboard that says Carrion’s Creek.”
Just as Robin finished speaking, to snazzynovel.com horror, snazzynovel.com found that the taxi had actually turned back towards her. The driver had taken a U-turn and driven back in snazzynovel.com direction! The car had stopped on the opposing road by the pastures. Robin immediately thought that the taxi driver was staring at snazzynovel.com with his terrifying face, which was filled with murderous intent. Shivers ran down snazzynovel.com spine. “It’s back… The taxi has turned back! It’s right in front of me on the opposite side! I’m not kidding, Sylvain. Help me!”
She felt that snazzynovel.com was being ridiculous the moment snazzynovel.com called for help. Sylvain could be overseas now for all snazzynovel.com knew, so what was the point in calling him? At best, snazzynovel.com could scare off the driver and force snazzynovel.com to drop snazzynovel.com off safely. However, snazzynovel.com would be finished the moment the driver realized that no one was there to pick snazzynovel.com up…
The moment Robin intended to apologies for disturbing Sylvain so late into the night and was going to call Arianne instead, Sylvain suddenly said, “I’m unfamiliar with the roads here. Turn on the GPS on your phone so that I know where you are. I’m on my way and will be with you soon, so don’t worry. Turn your phone on speaker mode and we’ll keep on talking as you walk straight ahead. Stay calm!”
