A voice spoke behind her, startling her. "So, you are the wife."
Kalina spun around, her eyes wide with shock and fear, as she faced the person who had spoken.
Kalina was surprised to come face-to-face with a woman, and not just any woman, but one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen. The woman's striking features and confident demeanor made Kalina momentarily lower her guard, relieved that it wasn't a masked killer.
"Uhm, hi, can I help you?" Kalina asked the lady, her voice tinged with uncertainty. She glanced back at where the hooded figure had been standing, only to find him gone.
"You can't help me," the woman scoffed, drawing Kalina's attention back to her. The woman's expression was haughty, her nose in the air, exuding an air of superiority. "Instead, it is I who would help you."
