******Harrison steps out of his car on arriving the family mansion. His face looks exhausted after a long day at work. He made an attempt of stretching himself a little bit when he notices another vehicle pulling into the driveway.He smiled, thinking it was his mother returning since the car looks familiar. He quickly walks over to the car, expecting to see his mom's face.But as the car door opens, he was surprised to see Carmilla stepping out.“ Hey, where have you been?”, Harrison ask, trying to sound casual despite his surprise.Carmilla surprise to see him also smiled.“ I went to see my parents. It's been a while since I last saw them, I'm sorry for not telling you about it”.He's expression softened “ No, it okay. That's sweet of you, maybe next time I will go with you to see them”.Carmilla shrugs“ It was a last-minute decision, I didn't want to bother you. Besides I needed some time with them alone”.Harrison nooded understandingly “ You look exhausted, how was work?”. C

STILL IN THE HARRINGTON'S MANSION After much deliberation among the three of them on what to do concerning the situation. Harrison decided to check up on Carmilla leaving his parents behind.Mr and Mrs HUNT ROOM “ This is getting out of hand, Margaret”, Arthur said, his voice low but urgent, as they shut the door behind them.Margaret's eyes flashes with anger.“ Shh, keep your voice down. Or do you want to draw out children's attention here?”.His face reddens.“ The children? You're worried about the children? What about the fact that our family could be in danger. Your…extracurricular activities could get us all killed”Margaret's expression turns icy.“ That's enough, Arthur. How would I know that something like this is going to happen? I'll look into this and have it taken care of. You just need to make sure that this stays within these walls. Especially Carmilla- she can't report this to her parents”.Arthur's eyes widened, feeling more disgust about his wife's words.“ You're

Arriving at the office, Carmilla notices that Rachel has been waiting anxiously for them.“ Put him on the line” Harrison orders.Rachel responded picking up the phone and dailing the familiar number. After a moment, she handed the phone over to him.“ Alex?”, said Harrison into the phone.“ Hey man”, Alex's voice came through the line.“ I've got some great news. Ive managed to recover the missing part of the CCTV footage. Trust me I didn't understand what I was watching either”.Harrison's eyes met that of Carmilla's and he could see the curiosity there.“ What did you find?” He asked Alex.“ I'd rather you see it for yourself. Is it possible for you to come to my office now?...once you're here I'll show you the footage”. He responded.“ I'll be on my way”, Harrison said, desperately as he hungs up the phone.“ Rachel, we will be heading over to Alex's office. Can you handle the work here?”, he asked hurriedly, grabbing his things and that of Carmilla's.“ Don't worry about things

*****As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the sprawling estate, Harrison and Carmilla along with their mother entered the mansion. The grand foyer, adorned with ornate mirrors and expensive art, echoed with an uncanny silence.It felt heavy, like the walls themselves were privy to the things they had just unearthed. Harrison still reeling from the police station visit, could sense the tension in the air, thick and suffocating.His mother, a woman of striking beauty with a sharp, calculating gaze, had earlier dismissed the idea for an escort home.“ There's no use in dragging this out, Harrison. You need to get back to the office”, she stated, her tone clipped and devoid of the usual maternal warmth. She pivoted her heels, Instantly returning to the facade of the composed drug dealer she has always been. Something no one knew except her husband. It wasn't like she didn't care; it was the unspoken understanding they share-some things were better left unsaid.

Moving into a new apartment and living with Mia seemed like a normal thing to her, as it brought back the memories of the old days back in college.It was a new day and Carmilla had brushed off everything she was told by Mia, deciding to face what is ahead of her instead.Only her knows the sacrifice she had to make back in the city. She also had to change her behavior to adapt into the family she married into. They were good to her in their own ways as far as she wasn't maltreated. But it just wasn't her style, she is a little bossy when it came to things about her life especially work. The sun had risen again, penetrating into their apartment giving a warm glow. Having nothing to do for the day, Mia remained asleep. Despite that she needed to rest more upon her arrival, Carmilla decided to kick her day at the office. She quickly rose up from bed, stretching and began preparing for work. Before leaving, she left a note on the little drawer beside the bed reading ‘ I'll be late’.Sh
