Author's pov.

Willa's throat broke open in a raw piercing cry the moment she saw Ivy. A frail confused woman she staggered forward and threw herself into her sisters wide arms.

“Ivy!”

In a maze of limbs and tears the sisters held on to one another in the middle of the grand hallway. Willa was hit by a wave of reality as Ivy's arms encircled her slender body. It wasnt a dream. Solid and breathing against her Willa was alive.

Ivy burrowed her face in her sisters dusty hair and cried “Willa… oh my God Willa. It's you... I thought I wouldn't see you ever again.”

Willa's body was shaking uncontrollably and her voice was a choked whisper. “All night long I ran. I just kept running without knowing where I was going. I could hear them talking while they held me in a cellar. Their purpose was to be used against you.”

A fierce protective instinct took precedence over all other considerations and Ivy held her closer.

“Willa it's over now. You're all right. We're safe.”

    Author's pov Ever since Sophia's desperate search for Sloan a subdued anticipation and an odd silence had hung over the mansions great halls. Victor showed up on schedule his demeanor a façade of composed professionalism. Sloan had called him sharply and asked for an urgent meeting Victor's mind was buzzing with all the possible outcomes. He walked into the foyer with a relaxed self-assured smile prepared to talk about whatever urgent issue had come up. Sloan was waiting for him with his arms folded across his chest and a somber expression. There was no small talk or the customary cordial greeting. There was an unspoken tension in the air right away. They were speaking in a low voice that was barely audible in the hall when the sound of heavy deliberate footsteps on the marble floor abruptly broke the silence. A group of police officers filed into the mansion their presence a startling intrusion in the opulent setting. Victor's assured grin wavered. His gaze flitted to Sloan a qu

    Author's pov Sophia smiled as she walked with a light assured gait. She had awoken from a particularly restless night with a renewed sense of purpose and energy. The early morning light coming through the mansions windows felt like a new beginning and a sign that things would get better today. Ivette's room was where she was going. She wanted to see her before they were overwhelmed by the tasks of the day and more importantly to find out where Ivette had gone the previous evening. Sophia was acutely aware of the minute changes occurring in the mansion and Ivette's abrupt late-night departure had been a noticeable shock. After reaching Ivette's door she was ready to knock when she heard a low agitated voice coming from inside. It was from Ivette.The voice was more piercing tinged with a desperate rage Sophia had hardly ever seen. Curiosity held her back a strong and perilous force. She hesitated and pressed her ear against the cool doors wood. “Don’t blame me Victor! I followed yo

    IVETTEWith a chilly smile on my lips I entered the mansion through the hefty front doors. Inside the atmosphere felt different heavier and burdened by the weight of unspoken sorrow. It was the ambiance I had meticulously planned and was anticipating. My mind had been replaying the scene all morning: the desperate muttering the womans agonized cries, the abrupt tragic silence and finally the solemn procession of bereaved family members and distraught employee's. It was a bitterly perfect triumph. I had had the perfect plan. This powerful odorless liquid which I obtained from a contact was the result of days of painstaking preparation. There were only a few drops of this supplement added Ivy's meal.It was a slow-acting poison designed to resemble an unexpected sickness a terrible fever that would eat away at her from the inside out. It was intended to gradually kill her while removing the baby and erasing any evidence of my involvement. I had visualized her, her glowing beauty wani

    WILLA.The silence of my room was a canvas for every sound I could hear—the distant creak of a pipe, the soft hum of electricity, the rhythmic pounding of my own heart. I lay on the thin mattress, my body a coiled spring of tension, waiting. Victor's words echoed in my mind, a careless whisper that was now my only hope"Don't lock her in. I don't want her scared." I knew it was a lie, a cheap trick to make me feel safe, but it was a lie I was going to use against him. I waited until the footsteps of the guards had faded completely, until there was nothing but a deafening, oppressive quiet.I crept off the bed, my bare feet landing silently on the cold concrete floor. The darkness was absolute, a heavy blanket that hid my movements. I made my way to the door, my fingers finding the cool metal of the handle. I turned it slowly, the click of the latch an explosion of sound in the silence. I held my breath, waiting. No one came. No one shouted. With a trembling hand, I pushed the door o

    WILLA.The tour of the "grand facility" was a chilling procession through a house of horrors disguised as a school. I walked through cold, echoing hallways, past doors that were either locked or ajar, revealing young people who looked more like ghosts than students. The grim reality of the place, with its stained walls and flickering lights, was a sharp contrast to the silky promises of Victor and Ivette.Finally, a guard led me to a small, nondescript door and pushed it open. "This is your room," he grunted, his face a hard mask. "It's a five-to-one, but you'll be getting it all to yourself, for now."I stepped inside and my heart sank. It was a concrete box. The room was small, with a single, small window high on one wall. A narrow bed with a thin mattress was pushed against the opposite wall. The floor was bare, a cold slab of cement, and the air was thick with the smell of mold and old fear. The guard left without another word, the heavy metal door clicking shut behind him with
