I frowned and asked quietly, âWhatâs happening?â
The butler regained his balance only after the tremors stopped.
Clutching his chest, he replied, âIâm not sure.
Please wait a moment.
Iâll look into it right away.
â
I nodded.
However, before the butler could leave, the door burst open.
A subordinate rushed in, panicked.
âMr.
Pierce!â His voice was filled with terror.
âThe rift has completely opened, and the other world has merged with ours!â
Debraâs POV:
Following my talk with Ivy, I decided to hit the hay early like I usually did.
As I lay in the cozy bed, drifting into pleasant dreams, a sudden strong shake woke me up.
I was completely startled.
Before I could figure out what was happening, Ivyâs panicked cries reached me.
She shouted, âHoney, itâs an earthquake! Wake up fast!â
An earthquake?
That snapped me wide awake.
Without a second thought, I yelled âRun!â I didnât even bother to get dressed properly and rushed to my daughterâs crib with my nightgown, picking her up and hurrying outside.
Thankfully, she was sound asleep and didnât get scared by the sudden chaos.
âARIâ
Amidst the relentless shaking of the house, I stumbled, struggling to keep my balance, almost falling with my daughter in my arms.
Even though Iâd never been through an earthquake, Iâd seen it on the news, people trapped under rubble, desperate measures for survival.
It terrified me.
Somehow, I managed to make it out of the room, heading for the stairs when the shaking suddenly stopped, and everything went quiet.
I paused, my heart still pounding hard.
âIs it done?â I looked around, confused.
Ivy, just as confused as me, paused before saying, âHoney, should we go outside to check? There might be aftershocks or other dangers.
