The Wrong Letter

“Oh, dam-nn!" She stuttered.

The name on the envelope was not the one she had prayed to see, it was different and that fact alone made her tremble slightly.

Bella’s fingers tightened around the paper as if doing that alone could change the ink.

For a moment she simply stood there staring at the paper while different scenes were playing out in her mind while she was struggling to catch up with what her heart already understood.

The maid had taken the wrong one somehow. A lette

    Behind Closed DoorsThe voices downstairs grew louder with every passing second as they moved swiftly. Bella barely heard Aria calling after her as she stormed out of the room. Her heartbeat pounded violently against her ribs while the silver button remained clenched tightly inside her palm.Aria didn't try to stop her, perhaps it was just her accepting that she couldn't or just that feeling of frustration from trying whatever it was it didn't at that point.The estate corridors felt colder now as they stepped out…Servants moved quickly out of her path the moment they saw the expression on her face. Even the guards stationed near the staircase straightened uneasily as she approached.Nobody stopped her as they all stepped out of her way and modded their head momentarily Downstairs the meeting room doors stood slightly open while muffled voices echoed from within.Bella slowed near the entrance and leaned her ears. She could hear it all.“…searched the east district twice already.”

    Facades IIBella had not moved from where she was in almost an hour as her mind still had remained unsettled. She walked slowly around the room with her feet heavy while listening to the sound of the rain that would've been soothing,today they held a different energy entirely. One that she didn't understand fully.The fire crackled softly nearby while the grandfather clock ticked louder with every passing minute. Outside the tall windows the storm still dragged across the estate with restless rain as all of this happened she seemed half aware of it all as her mind was deeply distracted.She sat curled near the edge of the couch with Theo’s silver button resting against her palm. Some part of her was still not accepting the fact that all of this was true and he was gone while the other part still was about the letter.Lady Eleanor had not asked for it again but at a time like this , no stones were to be left untouched. Sighing deeply, Bella let herself sit close to the fireplace.

    Facades.The man stared down at Theo’s hand gripping his wrist. For a second neither of them moved.The pub remained loud around them as laughter echoed from somewhere near the bar while rain battered softly against the windows. Yet inside that booth the tension sat heavy enough to suffocate.Theo slowly loosened his grip. “Please.” The word came out quieter this time. The older man looked at him carefully before lowering himself back into the seat with a tired sigh. His expression had changed now as it was no longer irritated.“You really don’t know anything, do you?”Theo’s jaw tightened. “If I did, I wouldn’t be here.”The man rubbed his face slowly before reaching for the untouched whiskey in front of him. He swallowed once then looked away toward the crowd like he suddenly hated this conversation.“She died three years ago,” he muttered.Everything around Theo seemed to stop. The noise…The lights. Even the voices nearby became distant.Theo blinked once but said nothing. “I d

    Wrong Choice, Right Choice.Bella kept staring at the silver button resting against her palm like it might suddenly explain itself if she looked long enough.It was definitely Theo and somehow out of everyone in the house that name somehow unsettled her the most.Aria glanced once down the hallway before lowering her voice carefully. “Are you sure?”Bella nodded slowly without taking her eyes off it. “I’ve seen this insignia before. Theo wears them on almost every jacket he owns.”Her chest tightened harder as she could feel her heart beating loudly. The button felt cold in her hand as she held it tightly.Aria crossed her arms tightly. “Then he was here.”Bella immediately shook her head though the movement lacked confidence. “That doesn’t mean he took the letter.”“Are you really putting sentiment into this,he might've.”Silence stretched between them again as she processed it deeply. Perhaps Aria was right.Somewhere downstairs voices echoed faintly through the mansion while serva

    Things We Treasure Nobody spoke after Eleanor’s final warning as the room was filled with anxiety or fear may be both. The fire continued crackling softly behind them, but the warmth no longer reached the room. Bella stood near the table with her thoughts spiraling so fast she could barely keep hold of one before another replaced it.The letter had to be down somewhere, she had remembered throwing it but that was also the last time she saw it or she had touched it.Her stomach twisted harder as the implications was starting to dawn on her.Eleanor finally inhaled slowly before turning toward her again. “Think carefully.” Her voice was calmer now, though the strain beneath it remained obvious. “Where exactly did you put it after taking it?”Bella forced herself to think past the panic.“I took it from my room that night.” she admitted quietly.Eleanor looked confused…she could understand everything or the situation whatever it felt like, what she was trying to understand was why.Wh

    Finding Clues.For a second, nobody moved as the fire crackled softly in the background while Eleanor’s final words lingered heavily inside the room.Bella stared at her, trying to understand why the older woman suddenly looked even more frightened than before.“The letter?” Bella repeated carefully. She was starting to panic herself but his the look on her face.Eleanor nodded immediately. “Yes.”Her voice sounded strained now and more urgent…Not the composed, controlled tone she normally carried. This was different.Bella exchanged a quick glance with Aria before looking back at her again.“What is going on where is it?”Bella swallowed once. “Errm…I.” She stuttered.The room went silent again as Eleanor looked at her confused and not understanding the situation.Bella’s brows pulled together faintly. “That is what I am trying to tell you.” She started.“Yes…Continue” Eleanor stepped closer this time, lowering her voice as though even the walls should not hear what came next.“It i

    A Mistake?“Damn! Andre." He cussed as he stormed into the passageway that led to his wing.Theo found Amardi near the lower courtyard waiting with most of the servants long since withdrawn.Amardi stood with his hands clasped behind him, staring at nothing in particular. He did not turn when Theo

    Lurking In Darkness.The corridor led back to Bella's room who was completely unaware of the conversation just underneath her window if she looked outside.She wasn't in her room anyways. Bella had remained where she was until her father disappeared beyond the curve of the staircase. Only then did

    What Lingers in SilenceThe morning came quietly, almost too precise for a place that had known so much unrest the night before. It almost didn't feel like it even as the sunlight slipped through the tall windows in rays. Settling across the room in soft glitters.It brushed over the bed, over the
