Chapter 157 Teresa had fallen asleep in the backseat when they arrived at Fenwell Garden. The driver pulled over, turned off the engine, and lit a cigarette while waiting.

"Have we arrived?" She sat up and rubbed her eyes, not noticing that anything was out of the ordinary. She grabbed her bag and got out of the car. "Thanks, mister." The man leaned against the car window and watched as she entered the apartment building. Then, he took a deep drag of his cigarette before stubbing it out and getting out of the car.

Teresa's hair stood on end. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. They were coming in her direction, and whoever it was was moving quickly.
She hurriedly grabbed the broom beside the door and started whacking whoever it was when they approached. She screamed while at it.
Her victim shouted while dodging her. Then, he grabbed the broom and roared, "What the fuck is wrong with you, Teresa?" Teresa stared at him with wide eyes as she returned to her senses. "Eric?

She grabbed Eric's arm and said shakily, "I think someone was following me, Eric."
Eric was opening the door. He shook her off impatiently and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Why would someone follow a married woman like you?" He opened the door and headed inside. When he saw her still
standing there and staring at the stairwell, he frowned and snapped, "Are you coming in or not? I'm gonna shut the door if you aren't!"
