After failing to reach Lorenzo, Natalie turned to call the locksmith company. Anticipating this move, I had preemptively installed a call-blocking program on her phone.
She couldn’t make any other calls except for Lorenzo’s number. To avoid arousing suspicion, I set the block to last only 15 minutes.
Watching the seconds tick away, I hurriedly slipped on my gloves and rummaged through the safe. After reviewing all the documents, a chill deepened within me. A powerful wave of dread engulfed me.
My legs grew weak and I stumbled backward several steps, unable to control myself. It turned out Lorenzo wanted more than just the heart of the child in my womb.
When exactly had he begun plotting this horrific scheme? After securing the evidence, I sneaked back to the bedroom.
Once my emotions had settled, I called out to Natalie, “Mom, is there anyone here to open the door? My stomach hurts!”
“Patricia, don’t worry! Damn that locksmith company! Just wait till I get out there, I’ll file a complaint to them.”
Seeing her growing increasingly agitated, I turned off the interception program on her phone. Screaming loudly, I uploaded those horrifying documents to the cloud drive.
