Claimed by My First Love's Brother (by Evergreen) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Run Away From a Pervert

Before I could speak, someone called out to my brother from the other end of the line.

Quentin quickly said, “Ralda, I’ll call you back, okay? I’ve got something to take care of right now…”

The call ended. I was going to ask if he could come pick me up, but those words never made it out.

I slowly wrapped my arms around myself, staring into the pitch–black night. For the first time, I felt the desolation of being truly homeless.

I sat down on the steps in a daze, not knowing where else to go.

Should I try Vonnie?

But she wasn’t in Freybourne now.

She messaged me this morning saying she was going to the countryside to visit her mother and wouldn’t be back for a few days.

The night wind was chilly, but my heart felt even colder.

It was already this late, and my brother was still busy, probably trying to scrape together 1.05 million dollars for my dad’s gambling debt.

Meanwhile, after all I’d gone through today, I’d achieved nothing.

Just thinking about the 500 thousand dollars that slipped right through my fingers made me want to cry.

I hugged my knees as sorrow welled up in my chest.

Suddenly, behind me, a strange laugh rang out.

My scalp went numb. I jerked my head around and saw a man staring straight at me.

His face was slightly flushed, probably because he’d been drinking.

He didn’t come any closer, just leaning against the elevator entrance and smiling at me.

The way he looked at me and the way he smiled were kind of weird and creepy. It was like he had a mental problem or something.

Who knows how long he had been watching me like that?

A chill ran down my spine. I quickly stood up and walked away.

After some distance, I pulled out my phone and planned to call a cab to a nearby hotel.

But then, I noticed another shadow on the ground.

I turned around, and that creepy guy had followed me.

Fear flooded me.

I took off toward the main road.

He chased after me, calling out, “Hey, chick!”

His laughter sent shivers down my spine.

This was a high–end residential area, quiet and secluded. All around, it was pitch dark.

There was not a single person in sight. Not even a car.

My only chance was to make it to the main road.

There were always cars passing through there.

In the middle of running, I fumbled with my phone, trying to call my parents for help.

However, just as I opened the contact list, the phone was out of battery. and went dead.

My heart sank.

What should I do now?

The main road was still a long way off.

That pervert ran fast, almost catching up with me.

Should I hide?

Frantically, I looked around.

There were several alleys between the buildings.

The pervert was getting closer and closer.

I gritted my teeth and darted into the alley on the left.

In the end, it split into two more paths.

I ran like hell and turned right.

Then, I kept weaving through twists and turns until even I had no idea where I’d ended up.

I had no clue whether I’d ditched him.

But I was too tired to

continue running.

Leaning against a wall, I gasped for breath.

After a while, I straightened up and tried to take in my surroundings.

Not far away was a tall building, lit up brightly. Through the glow, I vaguely saw the words “Malgrave Hotel“.

If I could just get there, I’d be safe.

I was about to walk out of the alley and head toward the hotel when at human shadow suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.

I froze, unable to process what had just happened.
