I was not surprised, but I felt a little sorry that I couldn’t see him for the last time.
I stood up and wanted to leave, but found that I was the only one left on the fifth floor of the hotel and the door
was locked from the outside.
The situation around me made me feel that something was wrong, so I immediately called Marty and it was
indeed his secretary who answered the phone.
“Miss Hanson, Mr. Howard said that Miss Eland finally fell asleep and no one is allowed to disturb her.”
At this time, a puff of black smoke floated out from the side, choking me and making me cough and my
uneasiness became stronger.
all.
“Please give the phone to Marty, something happened here, it seems to be on fire.”
The tablecloth behind me suddenly caught fire and I smashed the door frantically, but it couldn’t be opened at
“Miss Hanson, I hope you don’t use such a cheap method. Mr. Howard won’t answer anyone’s call now.”
The secretary hung up the phone and the fire behind me burned more and more fiercely. I didn’t know when 119 would arrive and my consciousness became more and more blurred.
On the other side, Marty looked at Naomi sleeping soundly on the bed, his eyes full of tenderness.
Suddenly, the secretary rushed in in a panic.
“Mr. Howard, it’s bad. The police just called and said that the fifth floor of the hotel where your wife went suddenly caught fire. At that time, your wife was the only one on the fifth floor. When the firefighters arrived, the fifth floor had been burned to ashes.”
Marty sat up suddenly from the bed and stared at the secretary in disbelief.
“What did you say?”
The secretary lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
“Mr. Howard, didn’t you say you were going to have dinner with your wife this afternoon? She waited on the fifth floor of the hotel for an afternoon and the fifth floor suddenly caught fire and she couldn’t come out.”
Marty grabbed the phone in disbelief.
“How is it possible? Didn’t she call me when I didn’t go there?”
The secretary was so scared that she broke out in cold sweats and her voice became smaller and smaller.
“You said Miss Eland was sleeping and nothing could disturb you.”
Naomi, who was next to him, took Marty’s arm.
“Marty, Hazel was burned to death because she was unlucky and you still have me!”
This time, Marty pushed Naomi away and drove toward the hotel.
Along the way, he was hoping that he would not see the body. Maybe Hazel escaped temporarily!
When he arrived at the scene, there was nothing recognizable on the fifth floor except the dark wall. The firefighters were doing the final finishing work.
Marty immediately stopped one of them and asked, “Have you found Hazel’s body? Is she still alive?”
The firefighter looked at him solemnly.
“Sir, please accept my condolences. The surveillance on the fourth floor shows that Miss Hanson did not walk out of the fifth floor or jump out of the building to escape. The preliminary judgment is that she is dead. On the lawn below the hotel, we found a mobile phone wrapped in layers. It should belong to Miss Hanson. Do you want to see
it?”
Marty took the phone. At this moment, he only felt a buzzing in his ears and his hands were shaking so much
that he could hardly hold the phone.
The firefighter next to him looked pitifully at him, so he helped him hold the phone. Marty opened the phone and
saw a recording.
“Marty, when you hear this recording, I have been burned to death. Your secretary said that I used despica means to attract your attention. Didn’t expect that the fire was real! In fact, I still thank you for these years, ahem… If
it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come out of the shadow of the broken engagement so quickly. Ahem… Although I
know that the feelings you gave me were based on exploitation, you really love Naomi.”
“But I still cherish this fake love. That design draft has always been my dream, but I didn’t expect it to become a tool for you to please Naomi. But since I’m going to die, that design draft is of no use to me. Just treat it as your last gift to you and now you don’t have to worry about the future. Goodbye, Marty!”
As the voice fell, Marty seemed to have been drained of all his strength and sat on the ground.
The secretary next to him saw that the situation was not right and raised her legs to run, but Marty grabbed her
“It’s all your fault! Why didn’t you tell me! She clearly called me! Why didn’t you tell me?”
