Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Attack 1

The night was eerily quiet, save for the rhythmic ticking of the clock and the distant rustle of leaves outside due to the night breeze.

The moon in its fullness adorned the night sky. Davis after several hours of battling with his thought had finally drifted into a restless sleep.

Jessica stirred from sleep and slowly opened her eyes after a gruesome nightmare that continually sent shivers down her spine.

They had been attacked by some unknown men, Davis had been brutally stabbed in several places, bleeding profusely and as much as she tried to control the blood flow, his life continuously slipped past her fingers leaving her flustered.

Despite waking up from the dream, Jessica still felt the intensity of the dream so real and raw that her body trembled continuously, her breathe coming in gasps while her senses tinglined with unease.

She quickly checked on Davis, "he is fine". She muttered under her breath but then her breathe ceased, her nerves tensed and her eyes widened as saucers at the sight before her.

A faint shadow flickered against the window, barely noticeable under the moonlight. The movement subtle, calm and quietly controlled—someone skilled, someone who knew how to blend into the darkness.

"It can’t be true that her dreams is about to come through", she mused. Her instincts since the evening screamed of danger.

Jessica’s gaze sharpened, her hands curled into a fist, her lips curving into a smirk. "Finally, they have made their move", she muttered under breathe.

"Davis, Davis", she called in a whisper close to his ears. She can’t let him sleep when she isn’t quite certain of the motive of the intruder. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Davis stirred and instinctively wrapped his arm around her patting her to sleep. "Wake up, danger", she whispered.

Davis eyes flew open, his gaze darting round the room and finally rested on the window where a shadow is skillfully prying the window sill without any noise.

"You can’t go," Davis said and held her back. It is dangerous. I have an alarm system in the room.

"No, don’t trigger the alarm system. We need to silently find out who is involved. Don’t worry, I will take care of it", she assured.

Davis knew there’s no time to waste arguing who can and who cannot. He silently pushed himself up the bed and slide down. Slowly, he crawled to the position of his wheelchair and settled in.

While Jessica without a sound, slipped out of bed, her bare feet pressing soundlessly against the cold floor. She didn’t turn on the lights—there was no need to alert the intruder that they had noticed them.

Instead, she tiptoed toward the backroom door, positioning herself at an angle where she could observe without being seen.

Her heart beating steadily, her breathing slow and controlled. She had been waiting for this moment.

The window latch gave the faintest click and a gloved hand pushed the window open inch by inch, carefully and methodical.
