Chapter 22

 

Mona lay on her bed shivering. She had been feeling feverish for more than two hours now and it was almost time for her to entertain her guest.

 

Placing the blanket all over her head, she was still shivering. There was a knock on her door and it was opened slowly.

 

"Miss Anderson, we have come to prepare you for tonight," a female voice said.

 

Mona wanted to scream at them to leave her alone but she just couldn't. She remembered what that evil man had said to her. She can't let him harm Ella or anyone.

 

She just had to do it.

 

"Give me some minutes and I will call out to you," Mona said, trying to hide her feverish tone.

 

" Alright, Miss Anderson but we have less than an hour to get you prepared"

 

" It won't be up to five minutes" Mona replied.

 

She heard the door open before it closes again. Mona got up from the bed and tried to keep her temperature warm by rubbing her hands. No matter how much she tried to keep warm, she just couldn't.
