Chapter 1 - The Conservatory Confrontation
The massive glass conservatory attached to the luxury American mansion was a cinematic masterpiece of immense, old-money wealth. Bright, pristine lighting illuminated exotic indoor plants and a heavy marble table. Outside the curved glass walls, a heavy snowstorm raged through the dark, freezing night.
But inside the beautiful room, a devastating scene of pure, unadulterated psychological cruelty and absolute terror was unfolding.
Sadie, a thirty-something maid wearing a neat black staff dress with a white collar and apron, was standing completely frozen. A fresh, bright red scratch on her left cheek was slowly trickling blood.
Despite the injury, Sadie stood fiercely, protectively in front of Eleanor.
Eleanor was the seventy-something matriarch of the estate. She wore a beautiful blue silk robe, her elegant silver hair trembling as she huddled behind the brave young maid. She was deeply confused, terrified, and suffering from early-stage dementia.
Standing aggressively in front of both of them was Vanessa.
Vanessa was a thirty-something woman wearing a stunning, elegant white dress, her dark hair pinned in a flawless updo. She was the highly arrogant, deeply toxic fiancée of the estate’s billionaire owner. And right now, her face was twisted into a terrifying mask of pure, demonic greed.
Vanessa was aggressively clutching a black leather folder, desperately trying to push past Sadie to reach the marble table.
