One year ago

It was Grace's 25th birthday. She was getting ready to go for her party at the club with her friends. She hired a cab to send her there. After a few hours, she still did not turn up. Grace remained missing for the next five days. On the fifth day, the cops found Grace in an abandoned warehouse. She was kidnapped and physically tortured for 5 days. She was tortured so badly that she lost the ability to conceive.

On the bright side, the cab driver was arrested and imprisoned for the rest of his life, but Grace lost everything. She can't live peacefully anymore without experiencing constant nightmares about that incident and that revolting 'creature' which she encountered in the store room. The only decision she has ever regretted her entire life is hiring a cab to the club on the night of her birthday party. She shouldn't have. She shouldn't have.

Grace was immediately brought to present life when she heard someone calling her. It was Aunt Steph. The moment she looked at Aunt Steph, she began to weep. Grace felt too scared to live anymore. She wanted to die. It has been a year since she slept peacefully. She can't even be in the dark for three minutes. Every time she closed her eyes, she can still feel the pain of being tortured.
