Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 408

Leo felt slightly embarrassed. At his age, he still found himself seeking refuge behind his Uncle Andre whenever he got scared. Therefore, he decided to stay put.

Andre didn’t force him. He figured if Leo was really that terrified, he would eventually join him.

The two guys inside were already spooked, jumping at the slightest noise and running aimlessly around the room. Before long, they found themselves in another chamber. This one was with a distinctively eerie theme.

As soon as they entered, the atmosphere changed. A fog began to fill the room, and out of the mist, a figure appeared. On closer inspection, it was a skeleton. It was a girl wearing a school uniform, and her face was as white as a sheet.

“Ah!!!”

Before the ghost, a girl in a bloody school uniform, had a chance to start her scare tactics, a scream echoed through the room. “I haven’t even started scaring you yet.”

Michael directed her. “Go after them. This theme is a haunted school.”

So, they found themselves being chased around by a schoolgirl ghost. The tapping of her shoes echoed eerily in the silent room. “Come out. I know you’re here. It’s fun. Come play with me.”

The father-son duo fled aimlessly until they found themselves in what seemed like a safer room. They shut the door behind them, only to hear a knock echoing in the silence. Each knock felt like a punch to their hearts, making their legs go weak.

In their fear, they forgot about their pretense of being mad men. They didn’t dare open the door. But inside the room, there was something even more terrifying.

The room was filled with dolls – old, bloody, and some that seemed to move on their own!

Then, an eerie laughter filled the room, which was a sound deliberately added in post-production. The laughter was chilling, like a baby’s. “You’re here, finally. Will you play with me?”

Hearing this, both of them were rooted to the spot. Their eyes were wide open in terror. They even forgot to run.

The previous fear made them run instinctively, but this baby doll room made their legs shake uncontrollably. They both ended up wetting their pants.

Then, the baby’s laughter turned into a wail, echoing continuously in their ears. A room of dolls all seemed to be staring at them.

Ellory was the first to surrender, stuttering in fear, “No, no, don’t come for us. We didn’t harm you. Your mother is alive. You can be reincarnated.”

Andre frowned at the screen, puzzled.

Kyle, another family member, kneeled on the ground. “Don’t come for me. I didn’t harm you. It wasn’t me. Don’t come closer. We’ve already paid the price.”

Leo also frowned, wondering what was happening.

The knocking stopped at that moment. The father and son got up from the floor, finding nothing scarier in the entire room than the baby dolls. They were frightened enough to prefer dealing with other ghosts.

However, as soon as they opened the door, they saw a high school girl standing at the door with a creepy smile. The light hit her from under her chin, making her look frighteningly ominous. Also hanging in mid-air was a red-dressed ghost drifting towards them, as if coming to claim their lives.

At this point, Ellory and Kyle felt like fainting.

Michael appeared in his costume, floating there, looking like a real ghost from hell. To be more convincing, his voice also turned eerie, "I heard, you guys are fools, I like to play with fools the most."

Then, various crawling things, mechanical walkers, and jumpers from the corridor all headed towards this room. Behind them was an inescapable nightmare of a baby's cry, and in front of them was a group of ghosts that were terrifying.

Back then, the Cedillo family was consumed by tragedy. Their lives were bleak and colorless. Only Naomi, the sole woman in the family, was holding the family together.

Then, Naomi got pregnant. Her pregnancy was like a burst of color in the Cedillo family’s monochromatic life.

The family finally had something to celebrate, and the gloomy atmosphere lightened.

Hansen felt a renewed sense of hope. Andre visited Naomi a few times. Bruce even got promoted. Naomi’s status in the family rose implicitly.

The Cedillo family was slowly improving, and surprisingly, they didn’t fall apart.

However, the person who wanted to see the Cedillo family crumble, to see them lose all their women and live in sorrow forever, couldn’t tolerate this. He wanted to ensure that the Cedillo family remained colorless, and made their life a living hell.

It was his command that sealed Naomi’s fate. His lawfully wedded wife and eldest daughter were green with envy over everything Naomi had. Their jealousy was a lethal weapon for him.

Years ago, his wife and daughter were manipulated by this man into killing Naomi. They obeyed his orders, exploiting Naomi’s gratitude towards Mr. Rodrigo. They told her, “Your grandpa is on his last legs. Come back to bid him a final farewell.” That was how they tricked her into returning to the Mastin family.

Little did Naomi know, her return would lead to her imprisonment by the Mastin family. They locked her in the basement, torturing her with all means until her legs were covered in crimson, until she passed out from the pain.

In fact, he could have killed Naomi directly. But after all, that meant taking a life, staining his hands with blood. So he decided to wait it out and let the grim reaper take her naturally when she could no longer bear the torment.

In the end, the Cedillo family stormed the Mastin house, forcing Rodrigo to reveal Naomi’s whereabouts.
