Recalling the suffering she went through last time, a chill raced down Raegan’s spine.
Standing before Raegan, Tessa seemed even more unhinged and twisted, wearing the scars of countless terrors.
“You seem to have a good sleep!” Tessa’s voice, rough and harsh, cut through the air.
Raegan summoned her courage and confronted Tessa.
“Tessa, this is the second time you’ve kidnapped me. Is this your way of seeking life behind the bar by committing crime upon crime?”
“Crime? How hilarious! You really have no idea what a true crime is!”
With slow and deliberate movements, Tessa removed her hat and mask, revealing a visage that horrified Raegan.
Tessa’s face bore clear evidence of her suffering. It was a grotesque patchwork of cuts and festering wounds.

The stench of decaying flesh hung thick in the air. It was sickening and nauseating. It was really unbearable.
Closing in, Tessa asked Raegan tauntingly, “Have you seen it clearly?
I can’t go back to the days when I was a decent lady from a wealthy family. What else do I have left to fear in this world?”
Raegan’s eyes widened, and she was left speechless. She couldn’t quite comprehend what Tessa had gone through.
Tessa’s disfigured countenance was a terrible sight to see. It was capable of reducing children to tears and inflicting nightmares upon adults.
“Do you know why I look like this?”
Raegan managed to free her hands behind her back from the rope and asked, “Why?”
“It’s all thanks to Mitchel! He launched an intense and unrelenting chase after me. While the police had been tracking me down, he lent a helping hand on it, blocking all possible escape routes. Desperate and penniless, I sought refuge with an elderly fisherman on a remote coastal island…”
Memories filled Tessa’s mind in an instant.

The fisherman first treated her well, giving her food and clean clothes.
But hope soon turned to despair when she discovered the dark truth.
The fisherman held numerous women captive and subjected them to unimaginable torment.
His sadistic acts had left scars on their bodies. He had also salted their wounds to avoid putrefaction.
When he took Tessa in, the last captive was barely breathing, legs and body covered in bloody cuts.
The fisherman had calmly put salt on the woman’s wound and said, “By doing this, it won’t stink.”
Tessa was trapped in that living nightmare and did not dare to resist.
