Daniel looked up at the stairs.

As Bella went up, a light came on in a room on the third floor. He could see a slender figure moving behind the curtain.

Bella put the groceries in the fridge and put out some vegetables and meat. She made a simple noodle.

Picking up the fragrant noodles, she took a bite with her chopsticks.

As she swallowed, a look of satisfaction came over her delicate face.

After a quick bite, she took the phone and looked at it. She was hesitating whether to turn it off.

After all, the bombshell call from her mom is sure to come.

But hesitantly, she still didn't have the guts to turn it off. She was afraid that Mrs. Carter would fly straight from City C to City A to deal with her when she couldn't get through.

Somehow, Sabina's words came back to her.

The name Daniel filled her chest when she thought of it.

She clutched her soft hair irritably and muttered to herself, "It's all about Carl and Natalie! If it hadn't been for the two of them, I wouldn't have been so stupid to go after Daniel!"

Daniel, in her impression, he is a boy who is always smoking with a little evil smile.

"Forget it! How can I bring back all these old memories! Don't think about it! It's all over!"

Bella banged her head hard, still muttering to herself, "Stop thinking, no matter Carl, Natalie, or Daniel, I will never meet them again!"

After forcing herself to shake off her confused thoughts, her appetite, which had been so good, was gone already.

She got up and went to the kitchen to empty the bowl and wash it. Looking at the kitchen rubbish, she sorted it out and took it downstairs to throw it away.

Bella lives in a modest neighborhood. She rents this.

She wanted to buy a house with two bedrooms and one living room in City A, but Maggie refused to come, so she bought a house for her in City C.

There was no elevator in the building, so Bella went downstairs. The trash can is at the entrance of the community, which is about five minutes' walk.

Standing outside, it was completely dark outside.

She said to herself as she walked toward the trash can, "It's my mother's fault that she had to let me go on a blind date. I took an afternoon off and lost my bonus this month!"

Daniel sat in the car, smoking cigarette after cigarette. His cold eyes drooped, his expression indifferent, and he could not tell what he was thinking.

He didn't respond until Bella reappeared. He puffed out the smoke from his cigarette.

A wicked smile played on his lips. Looking at her back, he saw something like possessiveness in his eyes.

He picked up his phone and called someone. He said, "Shut the electricity down in the Sunshine Community for 20 minutes. Yes, now!"

Put the phone down. Bella had thrown out the trash and was heading back.

Bella looked up at the night sky. It was dark, not even a star. It seems that the weather forecast that it would rain tomorrow was true.

Shaking her head, she put her foot up and went in.

Stepping on the stairs, she did not know whether she is paranoid, she always felt behind there were some slight footsteps with her overlap.

She looked back warily, but there was no one in the empty stairs.

She touched the back of her head doubtfully, wondering if she was being paranoid.

Is she getting a little jumpy from mom's blind dates lately?

With a faint sigh, she continued upstairs.

Then Bella realized that the stairs were scary.

There were not even any windows, and if the lights suddenly went out, it would be dark and terrible.

The thought flashed through her mind, and suddenly the staircase lights went out.

Bella's eyes went black and startled. She scolded herself. What a mean mouth!

It was so dark that she was really afraid. She reached into her trouser pocket for her phone and thought about turning on the light.

But before she could open it, a big hand grabbed her slender arm, and with a strong push, a tall and masculine body pressed her against the wall.

"Who are you....................."

Bella asked, but the words couldn’t come to her lips. And before she could say two words, she was gagged.

It was the man's lips, a bitter nicotine tongue, which forced her clenched teeth open.

It was an intense kiss.

Bella was terrified in total darkness. She tried to open her mouth for help, but her mouth was so choked that all she could do was mumble a little.

She pounded her body in fear.

But one of her hand was tightly held, and the strength of the other was limited. She just exhausted strength a few times. The man just directly seized both of her hands.

A huge hand clasped her hands and held them high above her head, leaving Bella unable to struggle an inch longer.

Bella was in tears. In fear, the kiss gradually gentled down.

Bella was still in fear for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in the back of her neck and she could not help crying out.

The man gave her a nasty bite on the neck.

Realizing that her life was in danger, Bella finally came to her senses.

She shivered slightly and said: "Sir, please, I still have money, as long as you let me go. I will give you all! I promise I won't call the police!"

The man paused, and it seemed to Bella that he hesitated.

"Sir, I still have 200,000 yuan in my account, which is really all I have. If that's not enough for you, I'll borrow some more from my friend. Can I give it all to you and just let me go?"

Bella's voice took on a whining tone.

But the man did not move. After a moment he was still silent. He leaned over and gave her a shallow peck on the lip.

Bella felt the man loosen his grip on her, and the footsteps receded.

The guy just walked away? !

Bella collapsed to the ground as the man left, gasping in shock.

It was not until the stair light came on that she felt weak and stood up, leaning against the wall, and stumbled up.

As soon as she opened the door, she slipped in and shut it quickly.

Bella fell to the floor, soft as mud. Her back leaned against the door panel.
