It was a house filled with secrets, the kind that lingered in family portraits whose painted eyes seemed to follow her wherever she went. She found the letter by accident while cleaning an old silver locket that had belonged to her mother. The locket had a hidden compartment, and inside was a brittle piece of parchment folded into impossibly small creases. The letter was dated 1789 and written in a hurried hand. It bore Abigail Marlow’s name, a distant ancestor Eliza knew little about. The contents shocked her. It spoke of forbidden love, betrayal, and a plot against the crown. Abigail had been in love with Thomas, a revolutionary planning an uprising in England. But the letter hinted that Abigail had betrayed him and the rebellion, though it didn’t explain why. Eliza couldn’t let the mystery go. She began researching Abigail’s life, sifting through dusty records in the manor’s library. Her investigation revealed that the Marlow family’s wealth had been suspiciously acquired during the late 18th century, aligning with the timeline of the rebellion. As Eliza dug deeper, strange things started to happen. She found pages torn from her notes, her desk drawers rifled through, and once, late at night, she heard hushed voices outside her door. Someone didn’t want her uncovering the truth. Determined, Eliza ventured into the old chapel ruins on the estate. There, she discovered a journal buried beneath loose stones in the crypt. The journal belonged to Thomas, and its final entry revealed the full story: Abigail had betrayed the rebellion to save her family, but it came at a cost. Thomas had been executed, and Abigail had lived with the guilt for the rest of her life. Eliza realized that her family’s fortune had been built on Abigail’s sacrifice—and Thomas’s blood. But before she could confront her relatives, the manor caught fire one night, destroying many of the records she had uncovered. Standing among the ashes, Eliza knew someone in her family had silenced the truth. The only question was… who?
