Chapter 984 The Moment In The Escape Room
It was a rough kiss laced with desire.
Perhaps it was better to describe the kiss as more of a bite.
Natalie widened her eyes and moaned, “It hurts!” At the same time, she drew her brows together.
Fortunately, the room had the occasional shrieks of the crows and other strange sound effects, so no one else noticed the moan.
Although others did not hear it, there was no way Samuel did not. Nevertheless, he did not plan to let Natalie go.
He could not vent his jealousy anywhere else, and the maniacal possessiveness he had over Natalie was flaring again. In fact, an extreme thought formed in his head.
It hurts? I can make you hurt even more!
The man’s rough invasion was out of Natalie’s expectations. Instinctively, she pushed him away, but only after a second of struggling, his hand grabbed hers and pinned them above her head.
“Why are you—”
The last bit of hope in him—that Natalie would not recognize him—made him stay silent. Still, he kissed her even more vigorously. The heated moment between them was as if the two of them were the only ones in the room.
The other players in the room were panicking as they rushed to solve the puzzles.
They had no idea that in the very same room they were in, a man was cornering a woman and kissing her fervently.
As the room was too dark, and the others were not very smart, they remained in the room for over thirty minutes without triggering the next mechanism. On the other hand, the room on the right was speeding through the puzzles. To reunite with Natalie again, Jerome had focused all of his attention on finding the clues. Thus, he was extremely swift in solving the puzzles, and his speed dumbfounded the other players.
At Jerome’s rapid actions, the hair-raising classroom no longer seemed scary.
Once Jerome solved the puzzle regarding the character’s suicide and the key clue, a rumbling sound reverberated in the room again. Then, the tunnel that connected the two rooms slowly opened.
Stunned by the abrupt sounds of people screaming and the door opening, Natalie subconsciously flinched.
Samuel panted quietly and narrowed his eyes.
Before entering the room, Samuel had already figured out all of the mechanisms and secret spots in the room. Thus, he knew that the players in the other room had to have solved everything to have opened the door.
In other words, it was time for him to stop kissing her.
However, he could not slow his heartbeat down as quickly as he stopped his actions.
“You kissed me…” Natalie reminded in a quiet voice by the man’s ear as she tiptoed.
Indeed, it was a fact that Samuel had kissed her, but he was unsure whether he should admit to it or not.
If he were to come clean to Natalie, he would no longer be able to hide the fact that he had an untreatable poison in him.
Samuel was fine with sharing his joys with her but not his misery, for he loved her to the moon and back. As such, he would rather beat around the bush and keep their relationship an intimate but ambiguous one. He would keep it that way until the day he was too weak to approach her anymore. He would then submit to fate and depart from the world she was in.
While Samuel was steeling himself for his inevitable end, Natalie was smiling, for she knew it had been him along.
Just as Natalie was waiting for the lights to come back to the room and to catch Samuel red-handed, the man suddenly took a few steps back.
Natalie’s heart lurched as a foreboding sense washed over her.
Is he faking his ignorance, or is he really unaware? He can’t be thinking that I took him for Jerome and let him kiss me for almost half an hour, right?
However, the man did not answer her, and Natalie could not figure out the answer herself either.
Samuel strode away from her. Before the secret door that linked the two rooms opened completely, he went into the tunnel where the actors were hiding and left the room.
Natalie reached her hands out into the darkness to hold the man again.
She tried multiple times to grab him, yet she could reach nothing but air.
