Episode 1: The Message At Midnight. 

 At exactly 11:45pm, I received a WhatsApp message from an unknown number. 

"Hey, are you home?" 

I ignored it.

Another message came in. 

"Please, answer me. I know you're awake." 

I replied, "Who is this?" 

The person responded,

"Your boyfriend" 

I laughed. 

I didn't have a boyfriend.

So I typed "Wrong number" 

Then the person sent a picture. 

It was a picture of me. 

Taken that same evening. 

I immediately sat up. 

"Who are you and where did you get this?" 

The reply came almost instantly.

"Look behind you."

I froze.

Then another message appeared.

"Don't turn around. Just listen carefully."

My phone rang.

The caller ID showed something that made my heart sink.

MUM ❤️

But my mother had died three years ago 

I rejected the call, almost dropping my phone.

Then the unknown number sent one final message:

"Why did you reject your mother's call? She has something important to tell you."

I stared at the screen, unable to understand what was happening.

A voice note arrived.

I pressed play.

It was my mother's voice.

"Baby, if you're hearing this, it means they've finally found you."

Then she whispered something that made my entire body go cold.

"Whatever happens, don't trust your father."
