A sleek Rolls-Royce pulled up at a semi-mountain villa. Far from the urban hustle, it was surrounded by serene and elegant scenery. The villa’s style mirrored Bowen’s persona-seemingly tranquil with pavilions and terraces, yet deeply cold.

“The domestic helpers here live in the secondary villa; they don’t come to the main one unless needed,” Bowen briefed Aubree on the general setup.

As he spoke, he pointed to the middle-aged couple who had been waiting at the door. “This is Hugh Watson and Carol. They’re a couple and different from the others hired; they’re part of the Turner family. Hugh is the butler, and Carol manages everything in the main villa.”
