Villa Soon

On the first day I reunite with the wealthy Holloways, as soon as I step into the villa, I'm instantly whisked into a car with tinted windows. The fake heiress, Kate Holloway, cuts my ID and bank card with a pair of scissors right in front of my biological parents. She grins smugly at me the whole time. "You see, Rosalie, I've offended that one person who must not be offended at all costs in Ravenfield. You should go kneel in his estate for a few days. Think of this as your way to repay the Hollways for giving birth to you in this world." My heartless parents even tell the driver, "Make sure that she doesn't escape. It all depends on her whether or not our family will be able to survive this crisis." The journey to the mysterious man's estate is bumpy. But the scenery outside the window becomes more familiar as time passes. Finally, the driver stops right outside a well-guarded estate. He reports in a frightened tone, "W-We are here to deliver the girl to Mr. Whitethorn." Mr. Whitethorn? As in the powerful man who is prone to mood swings and can easily make families such as the Holloways go into bankruptcy with just a twitch of his finger? Wait, isn't that Dominic Whitethorn, my adoptive father who has doted on me since I was a little girl? The Holloways have chosen to make me the scapegoat in order to protect Kate. They probably never would've thought that the fearsome Mr. Whitethorn, who's capable of determining their survival, has scoured the entire city for me because I didn't come home last night.

"Vanessa, I really feel sorry for you. The person your husband has always loved is me." Isabella stated smugly. Vanessa frowned eyeing at Isabella’s bulging belly, "but you’re already Austin Jones Sister-in-law and pregnant." Isabella sneered, "soon, I’d make him divorce you." Before Vanessa could realize what was going on, a loud thud was heard, and Isabella purposely slipped down the stairs and vanessa tripped herself while trying to save Isabella. A scandal broke out in the Jones family, one of the wealthiest and most powerful families in New York. Austin Jones's wife Vanessa was held responsible for his sister-in-law, Isabella’s fall and her baby’s death. Over the years, Austin Jones had only had Isabella in his heart, and he married Vanessa to cover up his love on Isabella. But her fall made Austin go berserk and he punished Vanessa by making her kneel in front of the Jones villa the whole night while she was already drenched and had a high fever. Realizing her three years of married life was nothing but a joke, Vanessa regretted leaving her family and all her assets behind just to marry Austin Jones. Disappointed, Vanessa proposed divorce and left the city, and started a new life. She went back to her family and became a rich lady with billions of assets! Now, Vanessa returned as the new General Manager of the Grant Corporation. Could she be able to make Austin regret leaving her? Would Austin fall for her knowing how charming she had become?

Dans la villa déserte, Sophie Jonathan était assise sur le canapé, immobile. Ce n’est qu’après un long moment que la porte d’entrée s’est ouverte et que Théo Réaumur a fait son apparition. Son regard s’est attardé un instant sur elle avant que son visage ne s’assombrisse instantanément. « Aujourd’hui, Camille a de la fièvre. Pourquoi m’as-tu appelé autant de fois ? »

When I arrive at a villa to fulfill an order, the beautiful young woman living there looks at me expectantly, her face flushed. "Stop looking around—there aren't any dogs here. I'm the one you need to feed…" She changes into inviting lingerie and pins me to the couch. Her voice is coy, and her lips are soft. She parts them slightly and looks at me lovingly. "Remember to use all your strength to fill me up, okay? If you don't, I'll give you a bad rating…"

​Zwei Menschen. Ein verbotenes Grab aus Kalk und Pigmenten. Und eine Wahrheit, die tödlich ist. ​Die renommierte Restauratorin Isabella bekommt das Angebot ihres Lebens: In einer abgelegenen, prachtvollen Villa in Italien soll sie ein jahrhundertealtes Fresko freilegen. Doch schon bei ihrer Ankunft spürt sie, dass die Mauern der Villa mehr verbergen als nur alte Kunst. Ihr Auftraggeber, der unterkühlte und machtbesessene Enzo, kontrolliert jeden ihrer Handgriffe über ein Netz aus Kameras. Er ist ein Mann, der keine Fehler duldet und Gefühle als eine tödliche Schwäche betrachtet – eine Lektion, die er blutig lernen musste. ​Während Isabella Schicht für Schicht den alten Gips abträgt, stößt sie auf ein Geheimnis, das niemals das Tageslicht hätte sehen dürfen. Ein Auge starrt sie aus der Wand an – ein Zeuge eines Verbrechens, das Enzo um jeden Preis unter Verschluss halten will. Trotz seiner ausdrücklichen Warnung, nur das Auge freizulegen, treibt Isabellas unbezähmbare Neugier sie weiter. Unter ihrem Spachtel erscheint ein schreiender Mund, und mit ihm die Gewissheit: Dieses Fresko ist kein Kunstwerk, es ist ein Grabstein. ​Als der ehemalige Polizist Paolo Rossini vor den Toren der Villa auftaucht und Isabella vor dem Schicksal ihrer verschwundenen Vorgängerin warnt, muss sie sich entscheiden. Rossini bietet ihr die Flucht an, doch die dunkle Anziehungskraft zwischen ihr und Enzo ist längst zu einer gefährlichen Fessel geworden. ​Enzo merkt, dass er die Kontrolle verliert – über das Geheimnis, über sein Haus und über sich selbst. In der staubigen Stille des Ateliers prallen zwei Welten aufeinander: Isabellas Drang nach der Wahrheit und Enzos Wille, sie im Dunkeln zu lassen. Doch je näher sie sich kommen, desto klarer wird: Wer die Schichten der Vergangenheit freilegt, muss bereit sein, unter ihnen begraben zu werden. ​Die Wahrheit will gesehen werden. Doch manche Blicke überlebt man nicht.

During a classmates' reunion party, the villa unexpectedly collapses, trapping both Priscilla Hobbs, my husband's true love, and me beneath the fallen ceiling. My husband is a member of the rescue team. To keep Priscilla alive, he chooses to lift the ceiling from her side. He says, "Pris is an actress. She can't be crippled." The ceiling crushes my legs as it's lifted from the other end. My husband seems to have forgotten that I have a congenital blood clotting disorder. Without my legs, I'll die…

The little boy I had saved when we were kids grew up to be a possessive, obsessive CEO. For ten years, he kept me by his side, using my grandmother's illness as a bargaining chip to force me into marrying him. He tried everything to win my heart, pulling every trick in the book, but no matter what he did, he could never make me love him. In a fit of rage, he found a woman who looked almost exactly like me to take my place. They flaunted their relationship for everyone to see, and people whispered that the CEO had finally found his true love. But that day, the woman, riding on his affection, barged into the villa with her entourage. She broke my fingers one by one, slashed my face with a utility knife, and removed my clothes to humiliate me. "Even though you had surgery to look like me, I'll let that slide. But you even learned to paint like me, too? You really did your homework. Let's see how you try to seduce men now!" Just as I was bleeding out and on the verge of death, the obsessive CEO finally showed up. The stand-in grabbed my hair and dragged me in front of him, smugly reporting, "Honey, this wench was hiding in the villa trying to seduce you. I've made sure she can't succeed!"

Ian Ludwig and I have grown more in sync in the eight years we have been married. I believe him when he lies to me that he's on a business trip, when in reality he's buying a villa for Francesca Yarrington, his childhood friend. He also believes me when I hand him a divorce agreement, saying that it is a property transfer agreement. There's still one month left in the cooling-off period before our divorce is finalized. That gives me just enough time to clear out everything from our eight years of marriage.

A dark and gloomy villa stood in the middle of the barren landscape, hidden from sight by a perched hedge. It was phenomenal and spectacular, but it makes it appear to have succumbed to a sullen and ominous atmosphere, both inside and out. A lanky hedge and gnarled shrubs give off the impression that the house has indeed been overlooked. The rainstorm seeping from the sewer pipes made the place appear miserable and dispirited. Needless to say, the house appeared razed to the ground and devoid of life. The house was made of rune stone that had been smeared darker in spots by downpours, sending it an insidious demeanor even during the day. The window frames were all padlocked and bricked up in steel frames and woods, as if what was inside would have been too grotesque to see, trying to give the impression that someone must have attempted to prevent something horrible from escaping. People have claimed that the residence was plagued by the witch who died there, but there has been no tangible evidence to substantiate their claims. It was even widely speculated that the villa was venomous and mowed down the leaves of trees that come into direct contact with its concrete pillars. People also construed a terrifying presumption that whoever tries to enter the house will never make it out alive because there is something inside that you would never dare to see with your very own eyes. Whatever was real or not, it was unmistakably foreshadowing, exponentially cold and savage at a hundredth of a thousand glances. A breathtaking doll sat competently on a rocking chair inside the house. Waiting complacently for someone brave and heroic enough to unravel the abominable and ghoulish mystery and paradox behind her enchanting, spine-chilling smile.
