I Died In The Freezer

I had never thrown Joy into the freezer. On the contrary, she was the one who took me in there.

Since she had framed me up far too many times, I was very cautious and had never intended to go to her birthday party.

But before her party, she threw my mother’s favorite necklace into the freezer and threatened me.

“If you don’t go in to get that, I’m going to destroy all of Mom’s clothes.”

Because of my past experience, I was terrified of freezers. For the first time ever, I spoke to her meekly. “Please, couldn’t we do something else? I won’t bother you and William anymore.”

She ignored my request. She smashed my mother’s memorial photo.

With no other choice left, I endured my fear as I wheeled myself in.

The moment the chill settled on my skin, my heart raced so fast that I could not even breathe. It was as if a hand was squeezing down on my throat, and those horrible memories rose in my mind.

I searched with every ounce of energy that I could muster. In the end, I finally found my mother’s necklace in a corner.

I saw Joy’s sinister smile right as I wheeled myself out of the freezer with the necklace.

She shut the door slowly and locked herself inside.

At that moment, I finally knew what was going on, and alarm bells rang in my mind.

I immediately rushed over to open the door, but it was locked.

Just as I tried to call William, Joy’s maid rushed to him.

Fortunately, he made it in time. It had been less than an hour in the freezer, but Joy acted as if she had just escaped death. She trembled like a leaf and threw herself in his arms and sobbed.

“Why did you lie to me? If you don’t want me to attend my own party, I won’t! But I don’t want to die!”

She grabbed William’s collar as she cried at the top of her lungs.

Rage burned in William so fiercely that the veins on his temples bulged, and he glared at me. “Did you do this?”

I shook my head and cried, “I didn’t! It really wasn’t me…”

William shot me a doubtful glance and told his bodyguards to check the security footage.

The security footage did not show the whole thing. All it showed was me touching the door just as the door locked Joy and me inside, even though I had tried to hold open the door.

With a dark face, William grabbed my chin so hard that it hurt. “Violet, it looks like I spoiled you too much after Mom and Dad passed away. How could you try to kill someone?!”

My face twisted in pain. I cried as I tried to defend myself. “It really wasn’t me! Even if I wanted to hurt her, I wouldn’t have chosen a freezer!”

William was stunned at that. He knew I was terrified of freezers.

Just then, Joy’s maid said, “But the security footage showed you shutting the door!”

“No! She closed the door herself! I was trying to hold it open!”

“Enough, Violet!”

Furious, William kicked me into the freezer. “Did you really think I’d believe in such an outrageous lie? The evidence is clear! Nothing you say matters anymore!”

He called several bodyguards to stand guard over the freezer’s door and ordered them coldly, “If she doesn’t apologize, don’t let her out even if she dies.”

When the door shut in my face, the cold and the darkness enveloped me.

In the beginning, the freezer was at a normal temperature, and I could endure it.

But ten minutes later, the temperature dropped so quickly that I trembled in the cold and cried out for help.

In just a moment, I felt as if my blood had frozen over, and I could not breathe anymore. My heart, too, stopped beating.

In the end, I died in the freezer.

This time, no one kicked the door open and called out to me.
