Inside the trunk, Esther Cusack curled up, not even daring to breathe.

The trunk of the jeep wasn't narrow, but Esther, who was 1.65 meters in height, still found it uncomfortable. However, what disgusted her most were the intermittent flirtatious sounds coming from the front seat.

The man was Esther's boyfriend, whom Esther had dated for more than a year, and the woman was her half-blooded sister. Esther had no idea how and when they got together.

Esther didn't find out about her boyfriend having an affair with her sister until she received an anonymous text message after work today. The person who sent the message also told Esther that the shameless couple was going to check in a hotel tonight.

In order to find out the truth, Esther used the spare car keys James Gibson had left and opened the trunk, intending to wait inside. She didn't expect that she would catch them.

James directly picked Anne up downstairs from her company. They even hugged and kissed each other as soon as they got in the car. What a scene of the couple in a deep love!

When Esther realized this, her mind went blank. She was so shocked that she almost couldn't believe her ears.

James had an affair with her own sister? What an irony!

The car was moving on the road, but it had no influence on the couple who were flirting with each other.

When they came to a red light, Anne said in a delicate voice, "Darling ... I don't want to do that in the car. I'm not comfortable at all."

"Then where do you want to be?" James's said with a mischievous smile.

"I want to go to your place...."

James instinctively shook his head. "My place? If my grandpa knows it, he will skin me."

Anne giggled and returned in a provocative tone, "This is exciting.... Are you afraid?"

"Of course not." James stepped on the accelerator and the car immediately accelerated.

Esther, who was hiding in the trunk, almost exploded with anger. She clenched her hands and teeth.

Esther was still struggling if she should jump out of the trunk immediately or wait for the car to stop and then quietly sneak away. The neon light outside the window dimmed and the car had already entered an underground garage.

The car was parked in the underground garage of the Gibson's. When James led Anne out of the car, he didn't forget to put his finger on his lips to remind her, "Keep your voice down. Grandpa shouldn't be asleep at this point."

"I know. I'll keep my voice down." Anne jumped into James's arms and they kissed each other as they walked towards the stairs.

As they left the garage, Anne tilted her small face slightly and glanced in the direction of the trunk out of the corner of her eyes. A smug smile lifted the corner of her mouth.

Only after they walked away did Esther secretly get out of the trunk.

In the darkness of the night, her face was pale. Her hands, which were hanging on both sides, were still tightly clenched into fists. She was both angry and sad.

After standing there for a moment, she followed Anne and James.

Esther's grandma always praised Anne for being understanding. She even asked Esther to learn from her sister. Esther decided to video the scene of James having an affair with Anne and showed her grandmother who was partial towards Anne how hateful Anne was.

However....

When Esther followed James and Anne to the stairs, she discovered that they had disappeared from the surroundings.

The Gibson family was one of the most established ones in City R. The Chinese-style mansion was astonishingly large. Just the corridor in front of Esther was extremely long. Besides, there were many pavilions and buildings around it. Esther did not know where to go.

Maybe because it was at night or because the house was too big, the surroundings were strangely quiet.

Since James and Anne were dating secretly, they would definitely choose the most remote room, right? Esther gingerly walked towards the most remote buildings based on her intuition.

When Esther came to the first building, she put her ear to the door and listened for a while, but she did not hear anything. Then there came the second building. Esther glanced at the plaque on the door. The lively and vigorous characters 'Parasol Tree Garden' had quite a bit of artistic conception. It was very suitable for James and Anne to date!

Esther leaned her ear against the door and listened for a while. Sure enough, she heard strange groans coming from inside.

Esther, who had finally calmed down, was so angry that her entire body trembled at the sound of them.

As the groans in the room grew louder and louder, Esther took a deep breath. Having taken out her phone and turned on its camera, she pushed the door open and stepped in.

There was no light in the room, and the surroundings were dark.

With the light from the corridor, Esther could vaguely see a tall man curled up on the big bed in the middle of the bedroom. Yes, it was a man. But what puzzled Esther was the man was alone. Anne, who should be there, didn't show up, nor was there the compromising scene Esther imagined.

Because the light was too dim, Esther could not see the face of the man on the bed clearly, but she could clearly feel that the man seemed to be experiencing some kind of pain. The groans she had just heard outside the door were from him.

'What's wrong with him? Is he sick?'

It seemed that Esther had gone to the wrong room because this man was not James. Esther, who did not want to cause trouble, was about to quietly retreat when the man on the bed suddenly let out a painful groan and fell to the ground.

Seeing how badly he fell, Esther unconsciously stopped. Out of kindness, she asked carefully, "Are ... you alright?"

At the sound of Esther's voice, the man who curled up on the ground in pain suddenly raised his head and stared at her. In the dark night, his gaze was like a sharp sword, scaring off the phone in Esther's hand.

That gaze was the most frightening Esther had ever seen.

"I'm sorry. I was wrong ... I'm leaving now." Esther instinctively retreated, not even bothering to pick up her phone.

The man who was supposed too painful to move suddenly stood up and pounced towards Esther like a male lion.

"What ... what are you doing?" Esther screamed in horror and instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding the man's attack.

Her mind went blank and she panicked completely!

Even if she went to the wrong room and said too much ... this man shouldn't have directly attacked her, right? Moreover, he seemed to have completely lost his rationality.

'Heavens! Who exactly have I run into? A madman? Or....'

Affording no time to think about it, Esther turned around and was about to escape, but the man immediately hugged her from behind the moment she put her hand on the door. Then, he pulled her around and pressed her to the ground.

Although she didn't feel any pain because of the wool carpet on the floor, she was frightened by the sudden pressure from an unfamiliar man. She struggled and screamed, "What are you doing? Let go of me...."

What was he doing? He was kissing Esther and ripping her clothes.

What a pervert! He was indeed a pervert!

Instead of catching her boyfriend having an affair with her sister, Esther was taken advantage of. If such an embarrassing matter got out, Esther would be disgraced. No, even if no one else knew it, she couldn't allow a strange man to sleep her!

However, the more she struggled, the crazier the man on her became.

In panic, Esther discovered that this man was tall and sturdy, and his aura was unique and domineering....

She used almost all her strength to push him away, but it was useless at all. Just when Esther thought that she was going to be raped by the man for no reason, the man on her suddenly stopped kissing wildly and buried his head in her subscapular fossa.

He let out a dull groan in pain. Esther felt a burst of pain coming from her shoulders, followed by a faint smell of blood.

"It hurts...." Esther was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes, but the man only cared about venting out his pain. He had no intention of letting go of Esther at all.

Hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Someone rushed in and helped the man up from Esther's body as they anxiously said, "Mr. Terence suffers a relapse. Hurry up and call Dr. Ross over...."

"Got it!" Someone else answered and ran out.

Esther, who had finally been freed, endured the pain and sat up from the ground. She stared blankly at the swaying figure in front of her as she watched the madman being helped back to bed by the crowd.

Everyone only cared about the man on the bed, in no mood to notice Esther who was hiding in the corner and trembling from fear.

Esther did not dare to stay here any longer, nor did she dare to look at the man anymore. It was even more impossible for her to hold him accountable. She almost crawled up from the ground and ran towards the door.

After leaving the bedroom, she looked around and tightened the torn clothes on her body. Having backtracked and returned to the garage, she curled up in the trunk and trembled.

Esther heard from James that the Gibson's was heavily guarded, and that it was difficult for ordinary people to enter and exit freely. If she rushed out like this, it would be easy for the guards to catch her, so she could only wait for James and Anne to come out.

Curling up in the trunk, Esther kept thinking of the thrilling scene that had just happened to her. At the thought of that she was almost raped by an unfamiliar man and that the man bit her shoulder, she unconsciously shivered.

Esther raised her hand and touched the wound on her shoulder. It was sticky and covered in blood. No wonder it hurt so much....

Fortunately, the man didn't bite her neck. If he did, she would die without a doubt.

After Esther waited in the trunk for an hour, James and Anne finally appeared. Their faces were filled with satisfaction. It was obvious that 'the battle' just now went on very successfully.
