SWNOVELS Chapter 51
Chapter: 51
The sleep cleared off Ariana’s eyes in a split second. She got out of bed. She checked the bathroom
and ran out of the bedroom, looking for the child.
Ariana looked everywhere, but Alina was nowhere to be found. She finally stopped at the stairs leading
to the fourth floor.”
It was the only floor left to be checked.
All the lights were turned off here. Using her phone as a flashlight, Ariana walked to the fourth floor and
called Alina’s name in a low voice.
She walked down the corridor until she arrived at few meters away from the last room. Helen’s words
echoed in her head.
Ariana wondered who secret was hidden in the room at the end of the fourth floor.
A strange energy pushed Ariana forward. She slowly put her hand on the doorknob and twisted it.
The door opened immediately.
It was three o’clock in the morning. The rain got heavier, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
The door of the room opened slightly in front of Ariana. A force was sucking her in as two voices fought
in her head. One voice told her to go in while the other told her not to. Ariana stopped, indecision
clouding her mind.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She almost jumped out of her skin.
She closed the door and stepped backward.
She recalled how serious Judy was when she told her this room was forbidden.
“Don’t do it, girl,” said Ariana, shaking her head. She’d better not cross Theodore’s bottom line. She
took a deep breath and turned around.
Before walking away, she turned to look at the doorknob in confusion. Since this room was out of
bounds, why didn’t Theodore lock it up? Why was it so easy to gain entry?
Her phone vibrated again. This time, it was a call from Theodore!
What the hell! Why was he calling her at this time? Did he somehow know what she was up to? No,
that couldn’t be possible!
Ariana took a deep breath and answered the phone, Theodore’s impatient voice came immediately.
“Come to my room, right now!”
He then hung up.
The call lasted no more than five seconds.
Ariana’s eyebrows arched in confusion. She tiptoed away from the fourth floor and went to Theodore’s
room. She didn’t want to keep him waiting, for fear of incurring his wrath.
