Chapter 12 - The Empty MansionThe Montgomery estate felt different after Isabella left.
The rooms were enormous.
Too enormous.
The ballroom where hundreds once celebrated now stood empty.
The gold-framed painting had been removed.
The hidden wall was demolished.
Arthur ordered the entire corridor rebuilt.
But he kept one small section of the old brickwork.
Not as a monument to horror.
As a reminder.
Never assume a beautiful house is a safe house.
May you like
Never confuse wealth with love.
And never stop listening.
