Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett‘s POV:

When I came out of the bathroom, I found Tracy staring at her smartphone, eyes wide as saucers. Out of curiosity, I asked, “What are you looking at?” 

Tracy looked at me; her face had turned pale. “Janet told me to tell you that she and Richard dug up Rita‘s grave at midnight yesterday and found that Rita‘s coffin was empty,” 

My heart skipped a beat.

‘How is it empty? Is that damned murderer, Rita, still alive?‘ I exclaimed inwardly. 

With a blank stare, I looked at Tracy. “So, you‘ve been communicating with Janet behind my back, huh?” 

“Yes. And I‘m sorry about that, Scarlett. I forgot to tell you.” Tracy put her phone away, lowering her gaze. I could tell she must be feeling guilty. 

Just then, her phone rang. It sounded particularly ominous amidst our silence. 

Tracy looked at me, too afraid to glance at her phone. 

“Just go ahead and read it,” I said calmly. 

She then took out her phone from her pocket and read the contents of the message. The following second, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Upon seeing her reaction, I asked, “What‘s wrong?” 

With trembling lips, she said, “Scarlett, Janet told me that someone sent a message to Charles, saying that James is still alive.”

My heart skipped a beat and my ears began to buzz. Right now, all I could think of was that James was still alive.
