Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Esther’s grandma always praised Anne for being understanding. She even asked Esther to learn from her sister. Esther decided to video the scene of James having an affair with Anne and showed her grandmother who was partial towards Anne how hateful Anne was.

However….

When Esther followed James and Anne to the stairs, she discovered that they had disappeared from the surroundings.

The Gibson family was one of the most established ones in City R. The Chinese-style mansion was astonishingly large. Just the corridor in front of Esther was extremely long. Besides, there were many pavilions and buildings around it. Esther did not know where to go.

Maybe because it was at night or because the house was too big, the surroundings were strangely quiet.

Since James and Anne were dating secretly, they would definitely choose the most remote room, right? Esther gingerly walked towards the most remote buildings based on her intuition.

When Esther came to the first building, she put her ear to the door and listened for a while, but she did not hear anything. Then there came the second building. Esther glanced at the plaque on the door. The lively and vigorous characters ‘Parasol Tree Garden’ had quite a bit of artistic conception. It was very suitable for James and Anne to date!

Esther leaned her ear against the door and listened for a while. Sure enough, she heard strange groans coming from inside.

Esther, who had finally calmed down, was so angry that her entire body trembled at the sound of them.

As the groans in the room grew louder and louder, Esther took a deep breath. Having taken out her phone and turned on its camera, she pushed the door open and stepped in.

There was no light in the room, and the surroundings were dark.

With the light from the corridor, Esther could vaguely see a tall man curled up on the big bed in the middle of the bedroom. Yes, it was a man. But what puzzled Esther was the man was alone. Anne, who should be there, didn’t show up, nor was there the compromising scene Esther imagined.

Because the light was too dim, Esther could not see the face of the man on the bed clearly, but she could clearly feel that the man seemed to be experiencing some kind of pain. The groans she had just heard outside the door were from him.

‘What’s wrong with him? Is he sick?’

It seemed that Esther had gone to the wrong room because this man was not James. Esther, who did not want to cause trouble, was about to quietly retreat when the man on the bed suddenly let out a painful groan and fell to the ground.

Seeing how badly he fell, Esther unconsciously stopped. Out of kindness, she asked carefully, “Are … you alright?”

At the sound of Esther’s voice, the man who curled up on the ground in pain suddenly raised his head and stared at her. In the dark night, his gaze was like a sharp sword, scaring off the phone in Esther’s hand.

That gaze was the most frightening Esther had ever seen.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong … I’m leaving now.” Esther instinctively retreated, not even bothering to pick up her phone.

The man who was supposed too painful to move suddenly stood up and pounced towards Esther like a male lion.

“What … what are you doing?” Esther screamed in horror and instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding the man’s attack.

Her mind went blank and she panicked completely!

Even if she went to the wrong room and said too much … this man shouldn’t have directly attacked her, right? Moreover, he seemed to have completely lost his rationality.
