After everything that had happened, Suzan's parents and Jonah had decided to stay with her at the mansion. The house felt too big, too cold, and too haunted to leave her alone in it during such a tough time.

Her father, Paul, barely spoke. He just sat in the living room with his newspaper unread on his lap, watching the gate. Her mother, Eva, hovered around the kitchen, making tea no one drank. And Jonah, her younger brother, kept checking the doors and windows, as if grief was a thief that c

    Maria was quiet too. She was sitting in the corner of the living room, not eating, not playing. She knew Nanny Sara was watching her.Suzan left both of them with Sara and walked to her parents' compound. Her father Paul was sitting alone under the mango tree, on his old plastic chair. He was not reading his newspaper today. He was just staring at the old photo - him, Eva, and Samuel.He looked 10 years older overnight.Suzan knelt beside him. She took his cold, shaking hands in hers."Dad," she whispered. "I am going to fix everything, don't worry. No more secrets. No more running."Paul looked at her with red eyes. "Suzan, my daughter, you don't understand. This secret... It has eaten me for 28 years.""Then we will end it today," Suzan said. "Make sure you tell Jonah the truth. All of it. Jonah is my young brother, he needs to know why you ran from the village. He is now 26, he is a man, he deserves to know about our family."Her father was quiet for a long time. Then he said a sent

    Suzan went straight to her room.She didn't say anything to her mother. She didn't say anything to her father. She just walked past them, her bleeding hand hidden, the brown envelope tight in her bag. Her mother called her name once, "Suzan?" but she didn't answer. She couldn't. If she opened her mouth, she would scream.She opened her own front door. The house was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that comes when children are waiting for their mother.Then little feet ran. Fast and loud on the tiles."Mommy!"Fred, her only son, came running from the living room and hugged her legs tight. His hair was rough, his school shirt still on, his socks mismatched. He had been waiting by the window all evening."Mommy, did you bring my ice cream?"Suzan's heart broke into pieces.She always brought ice cream. Every single day after work. Vanilla for Fred, in that small white cup from the supermarket near her office. It was their thing. Their ritual. Even when she was tired, even when it was

    Suzan didn't call her father. She didn't call security about the broken window. She didn't even pick up the glass from the floor.She ran.She held the old photo so tight in her bleeding hand that her sweat was making the colors bleed. The brown envelope was crumpled and wet in her other hand. Her bag was open, her heels clicking loudly on the office tiles. Everyone was staring - her blouse had a small cut with blood on it, her hair was a mess, her eyes were red."Madam Suzan! You are bleeding!" the receptionist screamed.She didn't answer. She pushed the glass doors open and ran into the hot city sun.Outside, the cab drivers shouted, "Boss! Where are you going?" but she didn't hear them. All she could hear were those five words burning in her brain._ASK YOUR FATHER WHO IS HE?_She stopped a cab in the middle of the road."My home. It's just a few meters from here. Fast. Very fast!"The wind hit her face as the cab moved fast through traffic, but it didn't cool her fear. The photo w

    After everything that had happened that night, Suzan decided to go to work. Maybe work would help. Maybe if she buried herself in files and meetings and deadlines and the cold air conditioning of her office, she could finally ignore him. The masked man. The way he had stared at her. The way he seemed to know everything. She didn't sleep. How could she sleep when a stranger in a mask knew her name, knew her house, knew her family? So she put on her best suit, her red lipstick, and her strongest perfume. She would pretend she was fine. She entered the office and everyone greeted her. "Morning, Madam Suzan!" "Good morning, boss!" She smiled. She nodded. She said good morning back. But her mind wasn't there at all. Her mind was still in that dark moment, on that mask staring at her . On the cold feeling that someone was watching her even now. It was time for the morning meeting. She sat at the head of the long table, her notebook open, her pen in her hand, her manager's face on.

    "THERE! He was there!"Suzan's finger was shaking so hard she could not point straight. Her whole body was ice. The water jar was shattered at her feet, water spreading on the cold floor like blood.Jonah didn't ask questions. He was already at the window, half-naked, chest heaving."Where! Which side did he go to!" he shouted, jumping outside into the dark compound, looking left, right, behind the water tank. “Dad! Come with a torch!"Paul and Eva came running downstairs, Eva tying her wrapper with shaking hands."What is it? Suzan? What happened? Who was here?" Eva grabbed her daughter's face. "Talk to us!"Suzan could not talk. Her teeth were knocking."There was... a man. Black mask. Tall. He had a paper. Red... red writing. He said "I KNOW YOUR FATHER'S SECRET." Her voice was a whisper. "He was sitting on that chair."Everyone looked.The chair was empty.The living room was dark and quiet, only the curtains moving small-small from the night wind. The window was open. The same wi

    Suzan let go of Jonah.She didn't want to. Her fingers were still curled around his wrist, tight with anger and fear, but when she looked at his face that was tired, confused, just a boy — she released him."Go to your room and sleep," she told him softly, her voice low so she wouldn't wake the others. "It was a long day. A very long day."Jonah nodded quickly. He didn't say sorry. He didn't say anything. He just walked fast to his room and closed the door gently, like he was afraid the sound would break something.The house finally went quiet.Everybody was asleep. Or at least, everybody was supposed to be.Suzan stood in the hallway for a moment, listening. The old house creaked. The wind brushed against the windows. From far, she could hear the crickets outside.As she walked past her parents' room, the door was slightly ajar. A soft yellow light from their small lamp spilled out. She was about to close it for them when she overheard her father.Paul's voice, usually so deep and se
