I got into a car, quickly booked a plane ticket and called my cousin in the village, hoping he would pick me up at the airport.
My cousin didn’t waste words and agreed right away.
Along the way, I was extremely nervous, afraid Stanley would notice something was wrong.
Not until the taxi dropped me at the airport did I finally relax. I knew that now, I was truly safe.
After a quick check-in, I gradually relaxed while waiting.
The moment the broadcast announced boarding, I hurriedly carried my luggage and got on the plane.
After landing, I saw my cousin wave at me and at that moment, I was finally at ease.
“Selene, what happened? Why did you suddenly come back?” My cousin looked at me and asked.
“Brian, I need your protection!” I gave him a look as I said that.
After my parents died, the only one who truly cared about me was him. So I was sure he would protect me.
Hearing my words, Brian was instantly surprised, then quickly asked, “What happened?”
“Stanley wants to kill me!”
I looked at Brian and said, “If he takes me away, I will definitely be killed by him!”
Upon hearing that, he immediately spoke, “Selene, don’t worry. No matter who it is, it’s impossible for anyone to take you away from this village!”
His promise finally made me feel at ease.
After returning to the village, Brian sent me back to the old house.
Since my parents’ death, I hadn’t been back for a long time, but now, the place was still clean as new.
Brian told me that every once in a while, he came to clean it up, so my house stayed so neat.
He told me to rest well and assured me that everyone in the village was our own people, so there was nothing to worry about.
Since our village was remote and there were no outsiders, if anyone entered, people would definitely know. When I heard this, I felt relieved.
These past few days, even when I slept, I had to guard against Stanley and Xenia. I did not know how they were going to harm me. So, I had never slept well at all and I was too tired.
Half-asleep, my phone suddenly rang urgently. When I grabbed it and saw the screen, my expression instantly changed.
I immediately tensed up when I saw his phone number, but soon after, I gradually relaxed.
Now that I was back in my hometown, I did not need to be afraid of Stanley anymore.
“Selene, where are you?”
The moment I answered, Stanley’s voice came from the phone.
