Episode 45

She rolled on her side and sq££zed her face.

One side of her head was throbbing with a blinding ache. She took a deep breath, placed both hands on her head and sat up. She tried to swallow spittle, but, her mouth was unusually dry. She raised her head and looked around the room.

The bottle water on the bedside drawer was empty. She groaned and got down from the bed.

She frowned. She didn’t lock the door. Why was it stiff?

She tried to open it again. It remained still. She bent her head and checked the knob. She discovered that the door had been locked on the otherside. She stood straight and frowned.

Who locked her up? Why was she locked up?

What sort of games was the person playing?

A sharp pain pierced her tummy. She cried out, held her stomach and fell on her knees.

Oh God help me!
