Amelia was right,her misery began that day.

The tension in the air grew by the moment when she alighted at the mansion.Even Drake was perplexed,he didn't know how to handle the consequence of his rash decision.

    Drake let out a sigh as the door opened unexpectedly, his eyes met with Maya’s and he could swear she was already in the knowing.
