The Grand Princess Novel

In the quiet of the forest, the darkest fears are born. The people of Dunballan, harbour a dark secret. A secret more terrible than the Beast that stalks the dense forests of Dunballan. A secret that holds David McCavendish, last in a long line of Lairds, in its unbreakable grip. It’s down to Sally, David’s lover, to free David from the sinister clutches of the Beast. But, with the whole town against her, she must ally herself with an ancient woodland force and trace Dunballan’s secret back to its bitter origins. Those origins lie within the McCavendish family history, and a blasphemous heresy that stretches back to the beginning of time. Some truths are too terrible to face, and the darkest of these lie waiting for Sally, in the Quiet Places. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

On my fifth year anniversary, the first two things I receive are two bills for water and electricity. My wife, Whitney Chapman, comes home at a late hour. She's carrying a food container that's filled with food that has gone cold. "Sorry, I was dealing with an extremely difficult client. I can only make it up to you with supper." She puts down the container before walking into the bathroom. While she doesn't reek of alcohol, there's dust coating the hem of her windbreaker. I call Whitney's secretary, only to find out that she has not been to the company today. A second before I end the call, the secretary adds, "By the way, Mr. Spencer, the new warehouse manager, Maxwell Clarke, was also absent from work today." Maxwell Clarke? The illegitimate child who brings nothing but shame to the Spencer family? What a big coincidence… or was it? I quickly contact the property manager of the villa based on the bills I've received. "A father-and-son duo have just moved into the villa last month." The manager then sends the list of inhabitants to me. The name listed is also Maxwell Clarke. This villa happens to be a property my father left for me back when Whitney and I first got married. Since it's too far from the city, I've left it vacant all this time because I wanted to reserve it as a villa meant for vacation purposes. Now, the people I hate are the ones living in that villa.

"Nous voilà arrivés à votre nouvel établissement, votre Altesse." Je baissais la vitre teintée pour avoir une meilleure vue de l'édifice avant d'attraper mon sac prête à sortir de la limousine. "Pas si vite mademoiselle." Je me tournais vers Edgar la bouche en cœur. "Cela ne marche pas sur moi, votre Altesse." Je soufflais contrariée et reprenais place sur la banquette arrière. "La directrice de l'établissement va venir vous chercher. Elle vous donnera votre emploi du temps et votre chambre. Vous allez devoir la partager avec une autre jeune fille." Je n'en pouvais plus d'attendre mais je me forçais à rester assise. J'étais dans une limousine après tout je ne voulais pas attirer les regards. "Je peux y aller maintenant? -Abrielle n'oubliez pas que vous êtes ici sous couverture. Personne ne doit découvrir qui vous êtes ou sinon... -Sinon Gaspard risquerait de me retrouver. Je le sais. -Vos parents seraient fières de vous. -Fières? Satisfaits maximum. Je leur obéit au doigt et à l'œil sans rechigner. On me cache d'un psychopathe qui me veut du mal pour prendre de l'argent à mes parents. Personne ne sait que j'existe... -Ils font cela pour votre bien. Ils tiennent à vous. -C'est cela oui. Je ne les ai pas vus depuis mes quatre ans. Ils ne m'ont même pas envoyé de carte pour mon anniversaire. Tout ce que j'ai d'eux est une carte bancaire. Pour moi ce n'est pas cela tenir à quelqu'un. J'ai de la chance qu'ils aient acceptés que j'aille à l'école avec les autres adolescents de mon âge. Si ça ne tenait qu'à eux je serais enfermée dans une tour. -Mademoiselle Abrielle... -Je serai sage."
