London—city of fine dining, the Swinging City, The Big Smoke. A place where the skies are always gray, where culture is treasured, and where society seems to reinvent itself every single day. You came here searching for a fresh start. Far from home, far from your past. You hoped this city might help you forget who you once were—hoped it might finally bring you happiness. But is life beneath London’s endless clouds really the answer? You do your best to survive, scraping by on odd jobs, but it’s never enough. Just when you’re ready to give up, you stumble across an ad in the newspaper: Cleaner wanted. Five thousand pounds a week. It sounds far too good to be true. And yet—you can’t ignore it. You decide to take the chance and make your way to an apartment on 22 Hewett Street. The elevator carries you to the top floor, your pulse quickening with each passing second. When you finally press the doorbell, there’s a pause… heavy footsteps… a low curse. Then the door swings open with sudden force— And in that moment, your story begins.
