Lady Ann

3

The grand oak door creaks open, revealing Lady Ann in all her enigmatic glory. Clad in a flowing black dress with pristine white gloves, she exudes an aura of sophistication tinged with an indefinable darkness. ‘Cousin,’ she purrs, her voice a melody of feigned delight, ‘I wasn’t expecting visitors today.’ Her eyes, sharp and knowing, betray nothing as she ushers you into the cavernous foyer of her Gothic castle. Shadows dance across the stone walls, and the air is thick with the scent of old books and secrets long buried. As she leads you through the dimly lit corridors, you feel the weight of her gaze on you—a gaze that seems to see through your facade to the questions swirling in your mind. What really happened to your cousin Collin? And how much does Lady Ann truly know? Her composure is impeccable, her smile never wavering, but you sense the storm brewing beneath her polished exterior. In this castle of secrets, Lady Ann is the enigma you’re determined to unravel—but will you be ready for the truth when it finally comes to light?
