Chapter 281 - Ch. 281 I'm The Mouse Inside The Trap?

After following the path and crossing the urban areas from one to another, Roxy's phone still didn't get a signal.

Roxy became restless again. She felt like someone was stalking her and about to pounce on her. And usually, her instincts were spot on.

It didn't matter whether her phone had a signal or not; Roxy was constantly trying to contact Declan. But she was very sure Declan was on the plane now, so she tried to get Kris in vain again.

Then Roxy called her father, Danielle, or whoever was on her contact list, hoping that her phone signal would return. She glanced here and there, looking for a way out in vain. And that's when she realized the black jeep behind her was following her.

Of the many roads turns, many cars were in the same direction, but some left the clogged area by stopping or entering a building. However, this jeep has been following her, making Roxy's heart feel restless.

No. No. It might just be a coincidence. Roxy tried to convince herself, yet her instinct was telling her otherwise.

What should she do now?

Roxy decided not to follow the flow that had the green light. She decided to join the other cars who were stuck in traffic because of the red light.

For some reason, Roxy was confident she would end up falling into a mousetrap if she went with the green light path.

Roxy heaved a sigh of relief when the black jeep no longer followed her and continued into the track that had the green light. It looks like the jeep just happened to be following her because of how overpacked the road was.

But... where should she go after this?

Roxy didn't recognize the area of ​​this street area, and as time went on, she was increasingly being led away from her house or Declan's apartment.

Roxy thought she could rest her back muscles and closed her eyes while lowering her chair. But who would have thought, suddenly, the path she had chosen to be on a green light?

On the other hand, the path that was previously driving has now stopped? What happened?

Does she bring luck so that whatever path she takes will have the green light?

Or is it possible… someone purposely controlled a traffic light to lead her somewhere?

Hahaha... impossible. Roxy laughed nervously to herself.

"If I manage to get home safely, I won't go far away alone." Roxy reminded herself.

She never goes to the New York airport, and the terminal was quite far from Declan's house. Roxy never traveled anywhere that was not her or her parents' residence area.

She should have waited for Kris no matter how long it took him to arrive at the airport.

Roxy didn't have any other choice but to keep driving following the route. A pair of eyes glanced in the left rearview mirror reflexively and saw the same black jeep joining in the back lane and was in the two cars behind her.

Roxy clutched the steer, and this time she felt sure someone was following her.

She reached for her phone again, only to find there was still no signal on her phone. Did someone hack her cellphone?

Roxy glanced in all directions for any loopholes to get her out of this trap, but it seemed too late.

The car entered a one-way road and entered a long bridge with an ocean on the right and left sides.

This bridge was not the famous New York bridge, but it was leading to a suburb that people rarely crossed. Roxy decided to speed up her car to trick the jeep behind her.

She managed to keep some distance between them, and for a moment, Roxy felt like she could breathe a sigh of relief. But she suddenly hit the brakes and slammed the steering wheel so that the nose of her car headed towards the sea.

Why did she hit the brakes and swerve? That's because the very same black jeep was waiting for her upfront. Not only one or two, but dozens!

Roxy glanced to the right, where the jeep following her appeared along with a similar car.

"Looks like I'm a trapped rat. So unlucky. Why am I so careless?"

Ever since she was at the airport, Roxy had been feeling restless and nauseous, as if something unwelcome would come to her. But Roxy thought her uneasy feeling was just because she was in the airport.

Roxy believed she still couldn't get over her guilty feelings towards Kaylee and couldn't handle it. Roxy would probably never forget that day when she saw her sister for the last time. Roxy probably wouldn't be able to shake off her guilt for the rest of her life. But at least she had accepted it.

Roxy had accepted Kaylee's departure and was trying to forgive herself. She should have been able to distinguish between the anxiety caused by trauma and the alert feeling from someone stalking her.

She was the daughter of a former Hades, and she has been trained to be on guard to her surroundings. That's why she managed to escape from kidnapping or anyone who wanted to hurt her all this time.

Her instincts were quite sharp, and she was always on the lookout for anything lurking around her. But today, Roxy misinterpreted her restlessness.

Tsk. Had she not been at the airport, she would have known that something was wrong with her surroundings.

The overcrowded and packed streets were also highly suspicious as if someone had taken over the traffic light and only given her the green light. Or maybe someone did.

Then, what about Kris? Is it possible that the man was stuck in traffic because of the same person? Did someone prevent Kris from coming to her?

Roxy noticed the jeeps' riders getting out of the car with guns pointed at her.

"If you don't want to get hurt, you'd better come with us without a fight."

Roxy bit her lip in frustration at the threat of one of the people trying to catch her.

What should she do now? She wasn't afraid of them, but she couldn't fight them all.

'When the sky meets the earth, it's time to jump.'

Roxy suddenly remembered the mysterious text she received on the way. Her eyes looked straight ahead, and she saw 'the sky meets the earth.'

Does that mean…

Roxy didn't care if she died or not, but she wasn't going to let these people catch her without a fight.

She stepped on the gas pedal and crashed through the bridge's railing, and the car plunged into the sea.
