“It’s about time we put an end to all this nonsense,” she whispered as she began to walk closer to him, gripping the knife tightly and aiming to stab.

But just as Emilia was about to plunge the knife into his skin and pierce his heart, she was startled by a loud cry in the distance.

It had started again…the cries. She heard them almost every night. Her heart began to race as yet another cry echoed through the air. Fear gripped her, and she stared down at the knife in her hands.

What are you thinking, Emilia? she suddenly scolded herself. You have an opportunity now to regain your freedom, and you’re actually reconsidering it?

Determined, she shook her head and took her stance once more. As she aimed the knife high, preparing to lower it into his chest, a louder, more intense cry pierced the silence.

Once again, she froze and quickly dashed to close the door. But the cries didn’t stop. They were loud, frightening, and filled with desperation. It sounded as if someone was crying out fo

    “Miss Emilia Voss?” The receptionist called out from behind the counter, lifting his gaze from the list in front of him to the woman with long, black, wavy hair that cascaded down her back. She had been standing patiently outside the counter, waiting for him to find her name on the list.Emilia let out a sigh of relief and nodded, confirming that indeed, that was her name. “Alright, Miss Voss, please take a seat right over there and wait for me. I’ll be with you shortly,” the receptionist instructed without even looking at her. Before she could voice out a protest, he quickly turned his attention to another guest who was waiting on the opposite side of the counter.Emilia rolled her eyes in disbelief, watching as the man beamed with smiles at the new client, who was dressed extravagantly. In contrast, he had a frown on his face while dealing with her.“Um, excuse me! Excuse me? Miss?” She called out, trying to get the attention of yet another receptionist. However, they didn’t see

    In the early hours of dawn, Dante was wide awake, preparing to leave his apartment. He couldn’t shake the feeling of unease as he thought about why Emilia had called him to pick her up from a hotel at this time of the day that had just begun.There wasn’t anything inherently wrong with that, but the time of day, combined with the urgency in her voice as she insisted he hurry up, had him wondering what might have gone wrong.He stepped out of his apartment, which was one of a hundred rooms in the tall building, and made his way to his 2010 Honda Civic. He climbed into the driver’s seat, turned the key in the ignition, and listened to the familiar sound of the engine roaring to life. With a deep breath, he pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road.After about twenty minutes of driving, he arrived at the grand hotel where Emilia was waiting. He parked the car and sat there for a moment, glancing around as he reached for his phone. He dialed Emilia's number, and just as the phon

    Emilia looked defeated and depressed as she was taken out of the car that she was forced into earlier. The night was dark now and the moon was nowhere to be seen. Probably hiding behind a cluster of clouds.She let herself be carried away by both men, surrendering to their grip as they took her into the shadows of the mansion. At that moment, she didn't bother to fight back any longer.Emilia couldn't help but notice that there were dim lights hung at the gate but there wasn't a single light outside the mansion itself. It was a detail that stood out to her, even amidst the overwhelming emotions clouding her mind.The entire building loomed before her, dark and mysterious, both inside and out. They led her up a long flight of stairs and finally into a room. They unceremoniously tossed her onto the bed before leaving her alone in the room. She heard the unmistakable sound of keys turning in the lock, sealing her in.What now, Emilia? What now? The thought echoed in her mind, heavy with

    Damon's gaze locked onto Emilia's once more, but she quickly averted her eyes again, a habit that seemed to puzzle him. Ever since they sat down at the table, she've been throwing him weird glances. He arched an eyebrow at her unusual behavior before shifting his focus back to the document he held in his hands.They were seated across from each other at a long, polished table, while a man in a sharp suit stood beside Damon, the one who had handed him the paperwork just moments before.“Is she the daughter of Marcule Hales?” Damon inquired of the man next to him. However, before the man could respond, Emilia interjected, “Actually, I’m his stepdaughter.”Damon turned his attention back to her, realization dawning. “So, you are Emilia Hales…”“Voss! It’s Emilia Voss. I refuse to go by that man’s name,” she interrupted him sharply. The man standing beside Damon looked at Emilia with surprise, clearly taken aback by her boldness in interrupting Damon while he was speaking.Damon set the

    “I need to talk to Marcule Hales right now! You have to let me in!” Dante said urgently, standing outside the grand Voss mansion. He directed his demand toward Melita, the head maid and caretaker for Sarah.On the other side of the door, Melita hesitated, feeling unsure about whether to allow him entry. “Sir, I’ve already told you that Mr. Hales is not available at the moment. Why aren't you listening?” she replied, her voice tinged with frustration. She couldn’t help but wonder what was driving Dante to be so insistent that he wouldn’t simply leave and come back to see Marcule later.“Then please just let me in. If Marcule isn’t home, I would like to speak with Emy,” he pressed on, his tone unwavering.Melita let out a tired sigh. “I’ve already explained that she isn’t here either. They’re both out right now. I haven’t seen Emilia for days.”“That’s exactly why I’m here,” Dante insisted, his urgency growing. “She’s impossible to reach, and she hasn’t shown up for work in days. That

    The sound of doors creaking open and a deep male voice speaking, jolted Emilia awake from her sleep. She quickly glanced at her clock on the bedside table and noted that it was past midnight. This left her feeling uncertain; she wondered if she was just mistaking or if it was one of those strange sounds that freaked her out.She lay still for a moment, straining to listen more closely. Then she heard it again—the voice. This time, there were multiple voices, as if a group of people were having a conversation. She came to a realisation that it could very well be Damon and Mike.In a rush, she jumped out of bed and dashed over to her wardrobe. She rummaged through her clothes, her heart racing, until she finally found what she had been searching for.It was a flimsy nightdress, bright red and completely see-through. She quickly took off what she was wearing and slipped into the nightwear, then covered it with a long robe that trailed along the floor behind her.With a sense of urgency,
