“Is something wrong?”

Violet was taken aback. Her heart leaped up her throat, and her knees felt weak.

George simply opened the door and invited. “Please, Ms. Violet, take a look Inside.”

unclear.

Ignoring their previous disagreements, Violet crept into the room, finding it unnervingly silent, not the gruesome sight she had braced for.

The dim light softened his features, giving him a princely appearance. However, it was tinged with

a sense of solitude.
