A broke student found a sugar daddy offering easy money for strange favors. What started as simple tasks soon turned into a chilling mystery she won't forget.
Life as a university student can be tough, especially when money is tight. Many look for creative ways to make ends meet. For one young woman, a simple online profile promised an unusual solution: easy cash, no strings attached, from a man calling himself Jack.
His Tinder profile was clear: "Looking for a sugar baby. $700 weekly. No sex." It sounded too good to be true, a dream come true for someone struggling to pay bills. She swiped right, and moments later, a match was made, setting in motion a series of events she could never have predicted.
Easy Money, Strange Requests
Jack quickly made contact, sending a message that felt a little too familiar. He claimed to own his own business, though he never said what kind. After a brief chat, he asked for her payment details and sent the first $700 right away.
Seeing the money appear in her account felt unreal. She waited, expecting a catch, but it seemed legitimate. When she asked what he wanted in return, his reply was simple: "I’m just looking for you to do a few favors for me :)" The first favor was a delivery.
The Mysterious
Delivery and a Warning
Jack gave her an address for a pickup, then his own address for the drop-off. He sent a key location for his house and stressed a strange rule: lock the door both times, when entering and when leaving. This seemed excessive for a simple package delivery.
She drove to the pickup location, which turned out to be a rundown, almost abandoned house. A huge, tattooed man appeared, asking, "You here for Jack’s shit?" He handed her a damp, shoebox-sized package, placing it directly in her car trunk. As she left, he offered a chilling warning: "Watch out."
A Series of Odd Jobs
Over the next few weeks, the student completed several more unusual tasks for Jack. She once drove a luxury BMW to a park in another city, only to swap it for a different car to drive back to Jack's house. Another time, she picked up a briefcase from one of his "employees" and was told not to look inside.
On several occasions, Jack asked her to simply visit the man from the first delivery, whose name was Julio, and stay with him for a specific amount of time. Each task earned her a good sum, and she had accumulated around $
- The money was great, but the tasks grew stranger with each passing week.
The Overnight
Stay and Its Bizarre Rules
One day, Jack offered her $1000 to spend a night at his house. This was the most money yet for a single favor, but it came with a long list of specific rules. She agreed, driving to his impressive home that evening, the porch light already on.
Inside, everything was as luxurious as before. On the dining room table, a piece of paper held down by an empty glass contained the rules for her stay:
- Lock the door when you come in.
- Only answer calls from Marvin.
- Don’t turn on any faucets between 9 pm and 11 pm.
- Don’t open the door for anyone, no matter who they say they are, after 10 pm.
- If the door to the closet at the end of the hall is open, sleep in the library. If closed, sleep in any of the bedrooms.
- The gardener comes at midnight. If he starts knocking on the windows, hide.
- Turn the TV on and let it play on static through the night. DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS.
- Help yourself to anything in the fridge. :)
- I’ll pay you in the morning. Goodnight!
The rules were unsettling, making her wonder if Jack's house was haunted. Still, the money was a powerful motivator, and she decided to follow them to the letter.
A Night of
Paranoia and Unanswered Calls
She spent a few hours lounging around, making sure to brush her teeth before 9 pm to avoid breaking the faucet rule. After checking the hallway closet and finding it open, she moved her belongings to the library, preparing to sleep on the couch.
At 10:16 pm, the doorbell rang, jolting her awake. She remembered the rule: *Don’t open the door for anyone, no matter who they say they are, after 10 pm.
- She stayed still, her heart pounding. A voice called out, "It’s the police! Open up."
She didn't move. The calls continued for nearly an hour, with different voices, including one that sounded exactly like Jack, trying to get her to open the door. She remained hidden, clinging to the rules. Eventually, the knocking stopped, and she managed to fall back asleep, the gardener never appearing.
The Morning
After and a Chilling Discovery
When she woke, she heard someone in the kitchen. Peering in, she saw Jack, just as he looked in his pictures, making scrambled eggs and coffee. He greeted her cheerfully, and they ate breakfast in an awkward silence. She told him nothing particularly "freaky" had happened.
Eager to leave, she made an excuse about class and quickly departed, Jack watching her from the driveway. Back home, while unpacking, she found the list of rules still in her pocket. Reading it again, her blood ran cold as she noticed something vital she had missed.
She had forgotten the rule about the television: *"Turn the TV on and let it play on static through the night. DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS."
- The words screamed at her from the page. Maybe it wasn't important, she hoped, trying to calm her rising panic.
The Real
Jack and a Terrifying Message
Just then, her phone buzzed with a text from Jack. He had sent the $1000 payment. His message read: "I’m not in town right now, I should be back next week, so you’re free from running any more errands for me until then! Just sent the payment, go do something fun ;)"
Her mind reeled. *Not in town right now?
- But she had just seen him. She had eaten breakfast with him. Who was that man in the kitchen? The realization hit her with sickening force.
Minutes later, a new text arrived from an unknown number: "Did you forget to do something? ;)" This was followed by a picture of a man, identical to the "Jack" she had seen that morning, standing in front of a television screen displaying static. Then came another picture, this one of the outside of her own house. The final text was simple, and terrifying: "Watch out."
The easy money had come with an unthinkable price. The strange favors had led her into a mystery far deeper and more dangerous than she could have imagined. Now, she was left with the chilling certainty that someone, or something, was watching her, and the game was far from over.
