Lila RENDAL" That’s horrible. As soon as I went in, the illusion of the house disappeared. Instead, I saw someone sitting in front of a grave. This whole place was a graveyard. What was the point of the house if it would disappear after? The girl was crying so badly. I pitied her, so I wanted to console her, but remember what happened with Robert.

Chapter 13 Adaline rushed into the mansion the moment the car came to a halt. She didn't wait for the driver. She didn't look back. Her shoes barely made a sound against the marble floor as she hurried inside, her chest tight, her vision blurred. She kept her head down, as if the walls themselves might laugh at her if she lifted her gaze. Mrs. Margareta was in the hallway. The older woman looked up just in time to see Adaline pass too fast, too stiff, her shoulders trembling despite the rigid way she held herself. One look was enough. Years of serving in that house had taught Margareta how to read silence better than words. Something was wrong.

Reaching back into the recesses of my mind, I search for Adeline. 'Adeline,' I whisper weakly in my mind. 'I am here,' her voice and presence is weak within me. 'What happened?' I ask her hoping that she remembers more than what I do. 'I don't know,' Adeline's voice is fading softer and softer. 'But I feel myself fading away.' 'Adeline,' I call out in my mind as loud as I can but there is no response. 'Adeline,' I whisper again but she is gone.

she thought, despair creeping in. The sound of laughter and chatter outside the stall amplified her unease. Adeline opened her eyes, determination sparking. "I need to get out of here." Adeline walked toward the exit, eager to escape the evening's discomfort. As she turned a corner, her eyes fell on two shadowy figures in the dark alley. She slowed her pace, curiosity getting the better of her. A familiar voice whispered, "I'll always love him." Adeline's heart skipped a beat. Emily. She moved closer, her eyes adjusting to the dim light.

And strangely, I didn’t feel any attraction towards her. I wasn’t sure if it had faded over time since it was a stupid infatuation or if was it replaced by someone more…important? I walked out of the manor and found the ‘more important.’ Adeline stood before the birds with a bowl of grain in her hand, and she fed them. The birds seemed to be flocking around her as if she was snow white. Her lips moved as she looked at one of them. Was she talking to them? I moved closer to listen in.

Caroline's room to invite her to have lunch with her. Upon arrival there, she immediately pressed the doorbell of the room. However, there was no response from Mrs. Caroline. “Mom, let's have lunch together!” Adaline kept ringing the bell. Until finally, she decided to go straight in because there was no answer from her mother. “AAAKKK!” Adaline immediately screamed hysterically when she saw her mother lying unconscious on the floor with a charred body. Alex and the maids who heard her scream immediately ran over to Adaline.

Silent tears flowed out as I dipped lower in the mattress. My headache had finally resided by the time I woke up. The curtains were drawn on the window and it was already dark outside. I stared out at the moonless night beyond as my heard wrapped around the reality. Sighing inaudibly, I turned around and saw Adeline hunched over her study table, her nose poking into a book. She was really engrossed into whatever she was reading. Getting off the bed, I tiptoed toward her. As my shadow fell over her book, she turned around, "Oh, hi, you are finally up." Putting the bookmark inside the page, she continued, "How is your headache?"

I crossed the space between us and crouched beside her. She didn’t flinch, but she didn’t look at me either. “It’s getting worse,” she said, voice low. “The air. The scent.” I nodded. “I feel it too. Like rot.” She finally turned her eyes to me. “It’s him, Silas. The cursed master. He’s stirring.” The moment she said it, the wind changed. No louder, no stronger—just... wrong. Like the forest itself had been turned inside out. That night, she curled beside me, her head against my chest, and for the first time in days, she slept.

Diego’s POV The night was quiet, but my mind was anything but. The halls of the estate stretched endlessly, my footsteps echoing like accusations against stone. Sleep eluded me, and every time I closed my eyes, I saw her—Ava. The way her gaze lingered with unspoken questions, the way her presence stirred something deep inside me that was both comforting and terrifying.
