Maurice opened the door with excessive force, clearly displeased with the recent development.

The hinges creaked loudly and eerily, which felt like a terrifying scene from a horror movie. Eliana was so frightened that she closed her eyes immediately.

Maurice snapped, “Look inside.”

“No!” Eliana cried out and shook her head in fear.

“If you don’t open your eyes this instant, I’ll leave you here alone for the rest of your life.”

“Oh my goodness! Please don’t!”

A wise person always knew when it was best to concede. Gulping anxiously, Eliana slowly opened her eyes.

The view that greeted her was not as gloomy and horrible as she had imagined. Instead, it looked like a comfortable small room.

Located at the center was a beige bed, surrounded by a small sofa, a TV set, and an elegant cashmere carpet.

There was everything but a window.

Eliana was stunned. Pointing at the room in confusion, she asked, “Maurice, what is all this for?”

“You really can’t tell? I’m going to lock you up inside.”

A terrified look appeared on Eliana’s face. “But why? What have I done?”

“You have committed terrible mistakes. And you haven’t been completely honest with me as of late. Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?” Maurice said reproachfully.
