The Heiress Revenge
I thought about Louisa, my sister's warnings still lingering in my mind like a shadow.
As I lay there, the darkness outside seemed to press in around me, like a physical presence. I felt a shiver run down my spine, as if the shadows themselves were watching me, waiting for me to make a move. I knew I couldn't stay hidden forever, that sooner or later, I'd have to face the world outside. But for now, I just lay there, suspended in a sea of uncertainty, the only sound the soft beat of my heart.
