Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“That’s normal. A lot of people like to hang photos on the wall. It’s a type of decoration. But the technology that was used for those photos could only be found 100 years ago, so, that indirectly explains just how wealthy the village is. There must’ve been some treasures hidden there, right?” Eli guessed.

“Yeah, they are probably very rich, because those photos were really, really old. But there were too many photos of different people there. It seemed as though they were portraits of all of the villagers there,” Sean continued.

“I’m guessing that the old lady is the Chief of the village, right?”

“Nope, the young lady is the Chief of the village. The old lady is the servant of their family. She prepared dinner for my friends according to the Chief’s orders.”

“People in that old village are so considerate and kind,” Eli smiled lightly.

Sean smiled, then continued, “My friend needed to use the toilet, so he went out, but he didn’t know where the door was. When he walked to the back door, he heard someone knocking. He did not understand what was going on, so he went to have a look. He saw a girl in her twenties, knocking on the door desperately. The girl was wearing modern clothes. It was a beautiful yellow dress, and there was even a ribbon around her neck. She looked like a fairy.”

“Why was the girl locked up in the house?” Eli asked curiously.

“My friend was as curious as you are, so he asked her that question too.

That girl yelled at my friend. She told him to hurry and run away and to not stay at this place any longer.

My friend looked at the girl carefully. She looked very similar to one of the photos he saw on the wall. He wanted to help the girl, but he could not open the door. It would not budge even no matter how hard he tried.

At this time, the girl shouted, ‘You’d better go, she’s coming. If she comes, all of you are going to die. Leave, it’s too late for me to escape this place. Hurry up and leave.’

After hearing what she said, my friend got really scared. He immediately opened the door back to the hall. However, he did not leave. He wanted to see what was going to happen.

He saw the 16-year-old lady coming over with a gloomy face a minute after. She walked to the door and asked, “Why did you come out here? Do you want to save them? Aren’t you afraid that you’d be boiled in the hot oil again?”

Eli realized that Sean’s voice had become sharper, and his expression got more ferocious too. Fear started to grow inside her.

Sean continued, “My friend was scared out of his wits, and his face turned pale. He noticed that the young lady was looking at him. He immediately ran to the hall, but he realized that all his classmates were gone. He did not have time to call them, so he opened the door and escaped.”

Eli’s face was a little pale. “Sean, are you telling me a horror story?”

“No, this is a true story,” Sean corrected her.

“What happened after that? Where did his classmates go?” Eli was afraid and curious, wanting to know the truth.

“My friend was not sure where his classmates had disappeared. However, he did not have time to think anymore. He rushed out and saw the beggar on the roadside. He stopped and asked him if he had seen any of his classmates.”

Eli recalled the beggar in the story. He was probably the same person whom she had insulted earlier, “So, did he see them?”

“When my classmate ran in front of the beggar, he realized that the beggar had long been dead. The beggar was wearing a black hood, so he did not realize it. My friend was so scared that he ran away from the village, but he could not find the place where they had first entered the village. He could not seem to escape no matter where he ran.”

Eli shivered and curled herself up. “He must have escaped in the end right? How else could he tell you this story then?”

Sean did not answer her question directly, “He did not find that path, but the sky was getting darker and darker, yet he dared not enter the village, so he climbed onto a tree, and thought about finding a way to leave the next day. As soon as he climbed up the tree, he saw one of his classmates running towards him frantically. He immediately got down from the tree. Hmm, you don’t know my friend, so let’s just call him Jaden. The person that ran over, I forgot their name. Let’s just call that friend Sam…”

“Is Sam a boy or a girl?” Eli asked.

Sean looked at her and said, “He’s a boy.”

“Oh, what happened next?”

“My friend asked what happened. Sam said that the three of them were waiting in the hall. Suddenly, a photo fell down from the wall. He picked it up and saw a girl who looked about 25 years old in that photo. She was quite beautiful. She wore modern clothes, a yellow dress, and had a ribbon around her neck. She looked as beautiful as a fairy.”

“Isn’t that the girl who was locked up in the room?” Eli could feel that there was something fishy.

“Yes. When Sam was about to hang the photo back, he realized that there was a hole behind the photo. There were ashes and spirit cards in the hole, and the card had the picture of the girl on it,” Sean continued to say.

Eli tidied up her clothes. It was obviously summer, but she was feeling cold, “So was the girl already dead?”

“After he hung the girl’s photo back to the wall, he saw the photo of the 16-year-old young lady. She was wearing the same dress that she was wearing at that time. The girl in the photo seemed to have blinked, and he thought there was something wrong with his eyes. So, he took the photo down. There was a hole behind the photo too and inside the hole were ashes and a card. The difference was that someone was burning incense in front of the girl’s card.”

Eli grew even more nervous, “It must be a prank, right? How could that be real?”

“It’s not a prank. Pranks are done in reality shows or between friends. They got lost in Scaveria Village, how could they be pranked?”

“So the girl really died? Is she a ghost? No way, ghosts are just superstition. They’re not real. Maybe the girl who died was just her sister. Maybe they just looked alike.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“At first, my friend thought of the same thing too. But he got scared when he thought about the words that the girl said earlier about boiling someone in hot oil. The two of them then decided to go to another house and find out what was going on. They thought that perhaps they could also find their other classmates along the way. The two of them returned to the village and motivated each other to move forward.”

They took a detour and went to the furthest house from the village. My friend wanted to knock on the door, but he was stopped by his friend. What if an angry ghost was inside? So, the two of them slowly pushed the door open and entered. When they went in, they got a big fright.”

“What happened?” Eli held Sean’s hand.

“The decoration inside was identical to the house they had entered earlier. The walls were full of photos, but the photos were different. The two of them were frightened to death. They immediately left that house and dared not enter again.”
