Let Me Stay The Night

Christina, who was locked up in the room, had collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

In her daze, she thought she heard the children’s voices, so she opened the window to see two tiny figures running in the corridor.

Christina was startled, and she hastily shouted at the two tiny people, “Lucas, Camila, I’m here!”

Upon hearing their mother’s voice, the children excitedly waved their hands at her. “Mommy, we’ve come for you!”

Immediately, the children rushed toward Christina’s room.

Just as they did that. Anya and the housekeepers ran after them.

Christina could no longer remain calm by then, for she knew that if the children were taken away, she would not be able to find them again.

After surveying the room, she soon found a chair. Without hesitation, she picked it up and swung it at the lock on the door.

With a resounding clang, the lock was evidently loosened. Christina swung the chair at it once more before it finally gave way and fell off.

Christina narrowed her eyes and tossed the chair away. With a rough kick on the lock, the door unlocked.

Right as she opened the door, the children lunged over and threw themselves into her arms, bawling. “Mommy, I’m so scared! She’s a bad person! Slic locked us both up!”

Camila was sniffling and crying as she spoke, tears filling her eyes.

As Christina held them tightly, she softly consoled, “Don’t be scared, Camila. I’ll take you two away from this place.”

The trio hugged each other tightly. Just as they were about to leave, Anya and the housekeepers rushed upstairs. A few of the housekeepers were even standing at the staircase, blocking their way.

A wicked grin spread across Anya’s face when her gaze fell upon the three frantic figures. “Grandma said. you have to stay here until the plan is completed.”
