Jessica could sense something bad when Francis asked her about leaving WE4.

"They are my friends. When no one stood up for me, they were there to support me," Jessica protested, "I can't just leave them because of a small fight."

His expression suddenly became frighteningly tough, "So you choose them over me now?"

Jessica stuttered because of nervousness, "Wh-Why do you th-think that way?"

She started sweating. She stood up instantly.

"I-I need to go to the washroom," She said.

When she was passing from beside Francis, she noticed a sharp knife in the hand folded behind his back.

She was nervous and panicked. She had no idea why she was feeling that way.

She came out of the washroom after some time. She sat on the sofa again while trembling. Suddenly she heard a psychopathic laughter coming out of the kitchen.

"What do you want as the side dish, Jessica?" Francis asked while laughing like a maniac, "I've heard that human flesh tastes really delicious. Wanna try some?"

Jessica understood his motive. She stopped breathing because of nervousness. She thought of running. But all of a sudden the electricity went out.

She could sense herself in grave trouble. But before she could think of anything, she heard footsteps slowly approaching towards her.

But she had no courage to look back or run

But she had no courage to look back or run. Because she knew that if she turned back, he would stab her instantly.

"What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?" She thought. She found a mid-sized metal flower vase within her hands reach. She picked it up.

The foot steps came closer. Jessica was prepared to defense herself. She grabbed the vase toughly. Her fists clenched as she was ready to hit.

1... 2... 3....

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Francis was flustered and hid behind the curtains. Jessica kept the vase back on place and walked towards the door.

She opened the door and noticed Jacky standing on the other side. She was internally relieved.

"Are you okay?" Jacky was panting, "Are you alone? Or there's someone else at home?"

Jessica suddenly realised what could've possibly happened. She realised that even Jacky's life could be in danger. And she knew exactly what she had to do to save the both of them. So she decided to act.

"Of course, I'm fine!" She pretended to be irritated, "Why are you even here?"

"I came to..."

"I don't need your care. In fact, I don't need YOU! I don't need WE4 anymore," Jessica said.
