I had previously visited this kind of lavish manor. During my days with Ethan, on every trip we took, he made sure to offer the best of everything-luxury cars, fine wine, jewelry, you name it.

I should've been enjoying myself, feeling completely satisfied, but deep down, there was always a sense of unease. It was like all of this was just smoke and mirrors-fading away instantly. A fleeting illusion. Something that would leave me lying awake at night, tears soaking my pillow.
