Early the next morning, Eliana woke up with a start. There was someone knocking persistently at the door.

She forced her eyes open, and her mind was still in a daze.

The knocking grew louder as time went on. Eliana sat up and yawned, taking a moment to absorb her surroundings.

Where was she? What happened last night?

Maurice was already awake at this time. Seeing the confused look on her face, he suddenly had an idea. It was the perfect opportunity to pull a prank on her.

While she was still groggy, he suddenly grabbed her shoulder and said worriedly, “Run! My wife is back. She can’t catch you in my bed. You have to leave immediately or all hell will break loose!”

What in the world was he talking about?

His wife was at the door?

Was she going to let herself get caught cheating with Maurice in bed?

Not a chance! She had to run now before it was too late!

With her mind still stuck in a daze, Eliana quickly believed Maurice’s story.

“Oh no! I have to get out of here fast!”

As soon as Maurice finished his words, Eliana jumped out of bed and headed for the door.

Maurice suppressed his laughter and exclaimed, “Wait, where are you going? My wife is right outside! You can’t escape that way!”

“Oh, you’re right! Where should I go?”
