Chapter 778

Damp, gloomy, and bone–chilling.

A musty stench of dust mingled with the sharp scent of tobacco hit Marilla as she struggled to pry her heavy eyelids open, blurring the line between dream and reality.

In her daze, she felt a pair of hands, cold as a serpent’s tongue, slithering across her skin.

“Who?”

Marilla snapped her eyes wide open as if breaking free from a nightmare, only to plunge into another terrifying dream.

Marilla trembled all over, desperately trying to break free, only to find her limbs bound, rendering her helpless!

Powerless and despondent, she watched the man’s vile hands defile her, enduring the scorching shame that filled her veins like molten
