Aniya bolted up in her bed when someone attempted to turn the handle of her door. Must be her father because if it was Valerie she would have been screaming her name as well.
With sleepy eyes, she squinted at the timepiece. It read 2 am. The sound of the door echoed louder due to the silence in the house.
Thanks to Lisa who ordered a safety lock from an online company and gave it to her. It was supposed to be put under the doorknob. Lisa had instructed her to carry it with her in the bathroom too.
At least Aniya had gotten back her precious sleep due to it.
But now the way someone was trying to shake the door it seemed like he wanted to break in.
Aniya kept looking at the door, half expecting it to splinter and break off its hinges.
The only thing she was scared of, was her father's intentions.
After a full minute of relentless torment, he finally seemed to give up. Aniya listened as his footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
