And acted like he got relieved from getting exposed. Hotel Medfly: Dr Jackson entered the hotel and walked to the reception point. “Hello, Dr.”, said the receptionist and asked That if she might help him. “Yeah, I have a reservation”, Dr. Jackson told her. Hearing that from him, she checked in the computer and gave him a key card and wished, “Have a good day, sir”. Dr Jackson went to his room and ordered coffee. Then, he phoned Dr. Sheen. “Hello, Dr. Sheen”. “Hello, Dr. Jackson. I was expecting this phone tomorrow. Anyway, are you here?”, Dr. Sheen asked his friend Dr. Jackson. Dr. Jackson replied in the affirmative and angrily asked if he was ready or not. And remined him that it was his la

--- A Mysterious Letter One morning, as Isabelle sipped her tea in the sunlit kitchen, the housekeeper approached her with a letter. “This came for you, ma’am. No return address,” she said, placing the envelope on the counter. Isabelle frowned, her curiosity piqued. She tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter, her breath hitching as her eyes scanned the words. "You think it’s over, but secrets always find their way to the surface. I’m closer than you think. Watch your back." Her hands trembled, the ominous message sending a chill down her spine. She quickly folded the letter and tucked it into her pocket.

How would I just waltz into his room with this story and expect that he would applaud me for coming into the light? As I paced back and forth, my phone chimed. I rushed to it, expecting to see something from Collins but there was nothing. Instead, an article glared at me. I sank into my bed and scrolled through it, my heart stopped. “Billionaire underdog exposed as criminal mastermind… Jonathan Mysterio, serial killer and dangerous felon.” I read silently. Jonathan was none of this and it was clearly a set up. I knew whose handwork this was and my grip around my phone tightened.

A moment later, a piece of paper slid through the narrow gap beneath my door. The footsteps retreated in haste. I peered through the peephole. The hallway was empty. I didn't touch the note, afraid of smudging fingerprints. Instead, I crouched and read the words on it: I know the truth about Edmund's death. Come to the big banyan tree in Greenfield Residences at 11 p.m. Don't call the police. The note was crafted with meticulous care—letters cut out from newspapers and books, pieced together like a ransom demand, leaving no trace of handwriting.

Monroe murmured, intrigued. She clicked her acrylics across the desk, dialing her assistant. “Find out everything you can on the mystery woman from last night. The one in red. I have a feeling she’s not just another pretty face.” She didn’t usually get curious. But something about Amara’s poise in that photo—the defiance softened by doubt—made her want to dig deeper. --- Back at Amara’s apartment, she finally opened the envelope that had been sitting on her kitchen counter for two days.

Three letters. C.M. Claire Martin. The room exploded into activity. The frame opened. Not dramatically. No secret mechanism. No cinematic reveal. Just a concealed panel hidden within the wood. Simple. Elegant. Brilliant. Exactly the sort of thing Claire would design. Inside sat a sealed envelope. Yellowed with age. Untouched. Waiting. Thirty years waiting. For this moment. Jessica's hands trembled as she lifted it out. Not from fear. From history. Because suddenly Claire wasn't a mystery anymore.

Placing the milk and bread on the side I waited until the footsteps had silenced before I opened the front door, I looked both ways to make sure no one was in the hallway and looked down. There was a plain white bag with my written on it, I picked it up and brought it to the counter. Just then, the kettle had boiled. The package could wait, tea was an emergency at this point. Pouring the boiling water over the tea bag, the leaves giving off the always comforting scent, I sighed. Memories of steaming mugs at sunrise with mother sprung to mind. After letting it steep for a few minutes I took out the bag before adding a spoon of sugar and some milk, the perfect dark caramel colour was like a hu

Chuckling he took my fingers in his hand and started to move it against the cards randomly, closing his eyes and chanting something between his lips. "Seriously, I will pick one, please not this bullcrap," I pull my fingers away and randomly pick a card and place it in his hands. "Ha!" I shrieked when his voice beamed around us. Lowering the card away from his face he turned the card towards. I narrowed my eyes on the card. "Beast, " His voice bellowed behind him as I was met with a black coloured card, a serene moon shining down the lake and a majestic wolf standing by the lake looking upon the moon.

Curiosity prickled under my skin. I walked closer, still holding the phone up. “And this is… I’m not actually sure what’s in here,” I admitted with a nervous laugh. “I’ve never gone in.” “Open it!” Kira demanded, bouncing in her seat. “It could be a sex dungeon or something. Rich people are freaky.” My stomach flipped. “It’s probably just storage.” Still, I reached out and cracked the door open just a sliver, peering into the darkness. The faint scent of leather and something woodsy drifted out. I couldn’t see much—just shadows and the faint glint of metal.
