Don't Answer Strange Calls At Midnight

But how could that be easy? I still endured each day in agony.

Until tonight, when I received that mysterious call.

After waking up, Charlie was outside preparing breakfast for me. I picked up my phone and called back.

The same woman answered again.

"Who are you? What's your purpose in making this call!?"

"Nyla, haven't you noticed? Your husband has always wanted to kill you."

I took a deep breath, trying my best to stay calm. "My husband and I are very much in love. There's no need for you to try to drive a wedge between us."

The woman on the other end of the line laughed maniacally. "Why don't you go see what your husband is really up to?"

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

I tried calling back, but the phone was turned off.

I muttered something about her being crazy, but I couldn't resist the urge to see what Charlie was doing outside.

I gently opened the door a crack and saw him making milk for me.

After pouring the milk powder into the cup, he pulled out a box of pills from his pocket!

I watched as my husband poured the pills into the glass, stirring them until they completely dissolved. A strange smile appeared on his face.

I covered my mouth and hid in the room, trembling all over.

Charlie skillfully drugged my milk, his movements practiced and precise.

"Nyla, sleepyhead, it's time to get up."

When he opened the door, I clutched my phone tightly, shaking all over.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He picked up the milk and walked towards me.

I shook my head and explained that I had just received a telemarketing call and the person wouldn't stop pestering me to buy something.

"Is that all? Honey, there's no need to get angry over that. Come on, let's drink the milk."

"I'm not drinking it!" I raised my hand in disgust, knocking over the milk, and noticed that his face turned dark.

I was all too familiar with that look. Whenever we argued, his sulky face would scare me into cowering in the corner.

"Nyla, did you see something? Hear something?"

I quickly shook my head and said no, I just wasn't feeling well, and my emotions suddenly got out of control.

I felt him sigh with relief, then he suggested we go for a walk by the sea and have breakfast outside.

Once suspicion takes hold in your heart, everything around you starts to seem suspicious.

A ball suddenly hit me on the beach, and a child pushed me into the sea from behind...

"I want to go home! They're all trying to harm me; they all want to hurt me!"

Charlie held onto me tightly, saying, "Honey, calm down. They're just kids playing around; it's not aimed at you."

But I clearly saw the malice in their eyes when they looked at me.

I was engulfed by a strong sense of unease, as if everyone wanted to harm me.

It was Charlie who suggested we go out to see the ocean. Could it be that all of this was arranged by him?

That night, I was still unable to sleep, and in the middle of the night, Charlie got up and went outside.

I didn't know where he went, but after a while, I heard faint whispers outside the villa window.

"Why haven't you made a move yet?"

Charlie said, "Wait a bit longer; she's very alert right now."

"You said you'd always love me. Besides, I'm carrying your child."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure she dies without a trace..."

"Just push her into the sea. No one will see it."

The woman's voice was unfamiliar, but the man's voice was definitely Charlie's!

My husband had an affair, and the other woman was pregnant with his child...

Because of this, he wanted to kill me without anyone knowing!

Right, Charlie's company still depended on my father's investment, so he wouldn't dare harm me openly.

But if it were all an accident, even a reasonable one...

I immediately grabbed my phone and dialed the police, then ran out of the villa under the cover of night.

The island was pitch black at night, and the darkness around me was terrifying.

As I ran down the road, I felt lost and helpless.

The husband I spent every day with wanted to kill me for another woman.

Who could I trust now?

I called my parents, but found their phones were turned off.

My dad has trouble sleeping, so they silence or turn off their phones before bed.

I hurriedly called my best friend Aria.

The phone rang for a long time before she answered, her voice groggy as if she had just woken up.

"Nyla, are you enjoying your trip? Sorry, I just finished a concert. I'm too exhausted to move."

Hearing the word 'concert' made my heart ache as if it were being twisted, the pain was such a persistent disease.

It was like a demon in the night, finding the perfect moment to gnaw at my wounds.

The venue I had booked was non-refundable, so I transferred it to Aria before the vacation.

On stage, she was greeted by applause from all directions, and on social media, she had become a dazzling new star.

I couldn't control my sobs. "Aria, please help me... Charlie, he has another woman, he wants to kill me!"

"What?" Aria was shocked. "Nyla, how are you now? He didn't hit you, did he?"

"No... I'm just so scared..."

"Don't panic. Find a safe place to hide first, and I'll call the police right away!"

The signal by the beach was poor, and our conversation was cut off.

I hid in a forest, hugging my knees and crying in despair.

Charlie had always doted on me; he would give in to my every whim since we were young.

I had trusted and depended on him so much, but would he really destroy me with his own hands for another woman?

"Nyla, come home with me."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded above me, and I turned sharply to see Charlie's face!

Terrified, I quickly retreated, nearly slipping and falling backward.

"Just push her into the sea. No one will see it."

That woman's words echoed in my mind.
