Chapter 19 Have to Give Up?
Claire lay unconscious on the bed, unaware that she was locked in the room.
As time passed slowly, she finally woke up in the dead of night.
After a week of abuse, relentless work, and illness, she barely had the strength to move.
Opening her eyes, she realized she was back in her room. Rubbing her head, she recalled everything that had happened before she fainted.
She remembered feeling freezing cold and collapsing in the yard of Halfmoon Manor.
During her unconsciousness, she vaguely sensed someone dragging her away.
As she tried to move, a sharp pain shot through her head, and her throat felt dry and sore.
She had no strength left, and her eyelids felt heavy.
Looking around the room, she noticed there was no water or food.
"Is anyone there? Help!" she called out, summoning all her energy to shout towards the door.

But her weak voice barely carried, and with everyone else asleep, she felt hopeless.
It was already 1 AM.
Gathering her strength, she attempted to get up, but after several failed attempts, she could only shout weakly, "Is anyone there?"
Eventually, she resigned herself to waiting until morning, hoping the staff would hear her when they started their day.
As dawn broke, Claire woke again, this time at 8 AM.
Her head felt like it was on fire, and she was painfully aware of her hunger and thirst.
"Is anyone there?" she tried again, but her voice was even weaker now.
She thought to herself that such a faint call would never be heard, so she pushed herself toward the door.
In her extreme weakness, she finally made it to the door, using the wall for support.
She turned the doorknob, only to find it locked from the outside.
Her heart sank.
Caroline had locked her in!

In that moment, all her hope crumbled.
Her hand slipped from the doorknob, and she collapsed to the
floor.
Caroline wanted her to die in this room!
With a burning head, a numb stomach, and an overwhelming thirst, panic set in.
Coughing violently, she felt her heart race, almost suffocating her.
Desperate breaths followed, and she feared she might truly die here.
""No! I can't die here!"
The thought of the warm blood, the strong stench of decay from the prison haunted her, driving her into a frenzy.
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Claire muttered, her eyes vacant and her mind spiraling.
Summoning her last bit of strength, she crawled back to the bed and reached for her phone hidden under the pillow.
Leaning against the bed, she dialed Caroline's number, knowing that Frederick was not in the villa and Caroline was her only chance of rescue. Chapter 19 Have to Give Up?
Meanwhile, in the dining room, Caroline was enjoying breakfast, elegantly using her knife and fork while sipping milk.
When her phone rang, she glanced at the screen and saw it was Claire calling. With a smirk, she silenced the call and set the phone down.
She knew Claire was just begging for mercy, wanting her to let her go.
Caroline was determined to teach her a lesson this time.
"Hmph, Claire, this time I won't believe you're still not moving out and are still clinging to Frederick."
In Claire's room, she called Caroline repeatedly, but only heard the mechanical voice of voicemail.
Despair washed over her as she realized death was creeping closer.
With no other options, she sent Caroline a text, revealing the truth: [Caroline, do you really think I wanted to stay in the villa? It was Frederick who wanted me to stay.] Caroline, having finished her meal and wiped her mouth, picked
her phone again, only to see Claire's message.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
