Beneath the dark, looming clouds, a sudden streak of lightning was followed by a thunderclap so loud it felt like i I was right. on top of me.

I crouched down where I stood, clutching my ears in fright, nearly convinced I was about to lose my senses from the fear.

When I dared to look up again, I noticed the candle from the altar had toppled over in front of Luke.

The candle was snapped in half, and the wax spread across the floor like a dark omen.

This unsettling scene caused my grandmother, who had been watching with her usual stern concern, to nearly collapse. Thankfully, Mrs. Lambert was quick to support her. "Old Madam."

Luke, typically dismissive of superstitions, could not help but feel unnerved by the candle that had seemingly targeted him. Grandma's face paled, her voice shaky, "Thunder, broken candle, an omen of death... What have you done that is so terrible?" "Grandma, I swear, it's just a coincidence," Luke tried to reassure her, but his voice lacked conviction.

Understanding the old lady's deep-seated beliefs, Mrs. Lambert immediately summoned a servant to clean up the place.

"Old Madam, it's just a coincidence. Please, don't worry yourself. You should rest."

"Mrs. Lambert, I've been uneasy. Chloe haunts my dreams every night, and it's been over ten days since she last called," Grandma confessed, her anxiety palpable. Luke's expression darkened significantly. He was well aware of my deep attachment to Grandma, frequently visiting her or at least calling every few days.

While I might disregard him, I would never neglect Grandma.

"Grandma, are you sure Chloe hasn't called?" Luke pressed, desperate for some reassurance.

"Do I look like I would lie about this?" Grandmother snapped back, her frustration clear.

At that moment, I watched as realization dawned on Luke. His face turned white and he seemed to be getting weak in the knees.

Perhaps he was beginning to understand that the disturbing details surrounding the bloody wedding dress at the police station were more than mere coincidences.

Suddenly, a servant's voice broke the tense atmosphere, "Old Madam; your package has arrived. It's from Ms. Chloe."

Luke quickly stepped forward to receive the package. The sender's details
