Chapter 3: The Hidden Room

Julian knew there was someone else involved.
So he searched the mansion.
Every room.
Every office.
Every hidden corner.
Until he found something behind the old library shelves.
A hidden door.
Inside was a small room filled with files.
Medical records.
Photos.
Documents.
All connected to Clara.
But there was something else.
A folder with his father's name.
Julian opened it.
And his face turned pale.
His father had never died from natural causes.
The documents revealed something impossible.
Someone had changed his medication before his death.
Someone had controlled his health.
Someone who had access to the house.
Someone trusted by the family.
Nurse Halloway.
But then Julian found another name.
Richard Blackwood.
His uncle.
The man who had recommended Halloway.
The man who had taken control of the family company after his father's death.
Julian finally understood.
This was never about Clara's illness.
It was about power.
Before he could leave, the lights suddenly went out.
A voice came from behind him.
"You should have stayed away."

Julian turned.
Nurse Halloway stood in the darkness.
