What are you looking for?" Sebastian asked again, his voice cool and distant, as if he hadn't heard a word of Rose's explanation.Rose felt a pang of frustration but kept her composure. "I thought I might have dropped a piece of jewelry the last time I was in your room," she replied, trying to sound casual. "And when I saw that the door was open, I decided to check if it was still there."Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't respond.

As Rose woke up from her unsettling dream, she couldn't shake off the lingering feeling of unease. Her mind was still reeling from what Sebastian had said the night before and the shocking discovery of Sebastian's surveillance cameras and secret files. She hadn't even had a chance to speak with her brother, Michael, and her mother, Emily, about the impending visit that Sebastian had planned for them.Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a soft knock on her bedroom door interrupted her reverie. Rose hesitated for a moment, unsure of who it might be.

"When your family arrives, you will act as if everything is perfect. You will smile, you will laugh, and you will do exactly as I say. Do you understand?"Rose nodded weakly, feeling trapped and powerless. She knew that she had no choice but to comply with his demands, at least
