Even though she knew it was a trap waiting for her, she couldn't help but dive headfirst into it, desperate for the truth.

Slowly pushing open the study door, Ariana stepped inside and flicked on the light.

This marked her second venture into the study, still haunted by the memory of Theodore scolding her the first time she mistakenly entered.

In that moment, panic coursed through her veins. With bated breath, Ariana approached the desk, her steps heavy, fixating on the photo before her.
