Chapter 1.

How can you look into my eyes as if they were open doors?

The agonizing whisper of a person undoubtedly sick could be heard in the air; the gasps were mixed with a putrid stench, and a Machiavellian laugh gave way to a ruthless man, who, seeing how her body trembled and with a sinister and mocking smile, said to her: what a pretty thing, my dear Glades. ¿Are you ready to know what my mind is plotting?... said Chester Valt with a tone of sadistic mischief and feeling tickling in his hands, which demanded to start playing with that work of human art.

Glades answered him, I beg you, I have children and a mother that I must take care of; my husband must be worried, I assure you that if he frees me this will remain between the two of us, but Chester did not care, he brought his face closer to the face of the frightened Glades; and joining his forehead with hers he looked at her fixedly and said: don't be afraid sweetheart, it won't hurt; tears began to flow from the woman's eyes, who in a whisper asked him: please don't hurt me. Chester looked at her and ran his tongue all over her face, while firmly grabbing the woman's black and messy hair saying to her... No bunny, you will not see anyone again tonight but me; then, the woman stifled a cry of despair and agony while wishing she had never left the house that day...

It was nine twenty in the morning when Glades woke up shivering with fear and wondering if that really happened or if it was just a trick of her mind, playing a bad joke on her.

She barely recognized that she was at home and in her bed, that was when she was able to expel the air that she felt stuck in her lungs, and then, three nice little heads peeked through the door, they were her three children: Louis; Liam and Chris, triplets who made her life charming and filled her with happiness… she could definitely say that she was the luckiest woman in the world for having such special angels in her life for two years now, in addition to a wonderful husband named Logan and a mother named Marie who was always with her…

During that week, Glades could not get out of her mind the disturbing image of that man who seemed to sneak into her dreams at night, to the point that every time she looked into her husband's eyes, she remembered the eyes of that sadistic man. She could not even enjoy kisses and caresses in her most intimate moments, because that man always seemed to be present and would never leave her mind, perhaps because he had already taken over her, but she could not realize for herself if it had been a dream or if it really happened…

Her mother, Marie, decided that she would return to the countryside to rest a little from the hustle and bustle of the city and would take her grandchildren with her so they could have a little vacation for the next thirty days; That was funny to Logan, who had recently begun to notice his wife distant and attributed this behavior to the tiredness of raising three hyperactive and mischievous children, so he practically felt admiration for his mother-in-law, when deciding, at her age, to take that short vacation with those three little ones. Thus, the time came when the old woman left with the children; and that night Glades went with Logan to a small restaurant where they took the opportunity to remember when they were young and immature... That night was very pleasant for both, because they sang, danced and came to feel that that spark and complicity of yesteryear seemed to be back. Then, a mysterious man entered the same place where they were and sat in front of her and behind Logan's back with a beer in his hand; The dim lighting made it a little difficult to recognize the features of that face, but suddenly she raised her head and saw over her husband's shoulder the person standing behind him, smiling at her twistedly while winking at her, which made her feel the need to run away from the place, but she couldn't really move, it seemed like his words had gone away and were no longer with her, maybe fate was playing a trick on him and had confused him, so she looked again, and the man was no longer there, so she sighed relaxed thinking that it was only her mind that was playing a joke on her, so she continued talking about many things with Logan, including the children's education, work, daycare and how difficult it had been to try to financially maintain that marriage for ten years, but they both seemed to be as in love as the first day...

During the way home they walked very calmly, the night sky was all they both needed along with the fresh air and holding hands as if they were They were two young people in love.

Suddenly, she noticed that her husband seemed to have tripped on a stone and was holding his knees as if something hurt him, so she asked him He asked: “Honey, ¿is everything okay?” And just then he realized that he had blood coming out of his mouth, while his feet had been left behind the rest of his body, which he confirmed when he turned around and looked and saw that both of his feet had indeed been cut off at the ankles, and because of that, the man could barely breathe, much less move because he was bleeding to death; and to make matters worse, that day they had left their cell phone at home, so, desperate, she began to scream for help... help, someone help me! And right at that moment, a car stopped in front of them and she ran straight to the passenger window, where she could see that it was a blonde woman no older than thirty who looked scared... However, she asked her,¿do you need help?, to which Glades simply said: something cut off my husband's feet, please help me take him to the nearest hospital... the woman, nervous, answered that she should put him in the car; bewildered, Glades accepted, and helping her husband she carried him to the car, then when she went to put him in the back door, she noticed that there was a familiar face, which turned out to be that of that man; Then, she fell and looked at the blonde woman, who began to tell her: I didn't want to do it, he forced me... Falling on the sidewalk, Glades crawled back when she saw him get out of the car while he said to her:¿Did you think you would get rid of me easily, pretty thing? Get ready, because today you will not see the sun again; then she heard a loud ringing in her ears and immediately afterwards she fainted.

 When she woke up, she was surprised to find that she was at home lying in her own bed, desperate, she went to get up, but when she went to move from the bed, she noticed that she was chained to it; and then, all the events she had lived through came back to her mind, because they had not been a dream, they were real... realizing this, she managed to sit up in bed and began to scream for help, but no one heard her... And because of that, no one would respond to her cry for help, so she just broke down in tears and trusted in her beliefs... Several days passed and dehydration made her lose consciousness frequently, but for some reason she always fainted when she felt like she had to do her physiological needs, however, every time she woke up, she could notice that she was wearing a different outfit, as if someone had changed her when she was not conscious, which awakened a sea of ​​doubts in her and she began to scream the name of that poor man that she clearly remembered as Chester Valt.
