Let Me Stay The Night

“Are you here to do the installation?”

Instinctively, Christina attempted to shut the door, but the other party managed to stop her in time with his foot.

“What are you trying to do?”

Christina took two steps back and stared at the two strange men who just strode in.

The first man took out a military knife and threatened, “Shut up. We are here for money. Do as we say, and you won’t get hurt.”

Christina steadied her breathing and retreated further in order to calm herself down.

“You should be able to tell that I have just moved here. There’s nothing valuable.”

The man eyed Christina before ordering her, “Give me everything that is of value.”

Christina handed him her phone.

“That’s it?” The man widened his eyes in disbelief. He seemed dissatisfied with the phone.

Christina felt helpless. “In today’s modern world, nobody has any cash with them anymore.” “You’re wearing something around your neck. Give it to us!” shouted the other guy impatiently.

Christina’s heart sank. Her necklace was well hidden underneath her clothes. There was no way it could be seen.

How do they know that I am wearing a necklace?

“My mom left me this necklace. It isn’t worth much. Why don’t I transfer some money to you instead?” With her hand on her chest, Christina whispered, “I promise I won’t pursue the matter or inform the police. Is that okay?”

“No. If you don’t want to get hurt, hand over the necklace right now.” The man waved his knife and appeared very determined to have the necklace,

Seeing that Christina had no intention of handing them the necklace, the man signaled to his partner. The other man went forward and tore open her collar when he saw a hint of the necklace.. Christina was so shocked that she took a few steps back and bellowed, “Get lost!”

Before her mother became unconscious, she had told Christina to take good care of the necklace. She could not afford to lose it.

The younger man became anxious. “Give me the necklace!”
