Lost in thought, she scanned the books and finally came across one written in the Eurfrican language. Although she was unfamiliar with the language, she recognized a simple word on the book’s cover, “Love.”
Standing on tiptoe, she plucked the book from the shelf.
Between its pages, she saw a photograph of a man and a woman in an intimate embrace. The woman’s blue eyes exuded an exotic allure, making her exceptionally beautiful.
Noelle swiftly stowed the photo in her pocket, switched off her phone’s light, and made to exit through the window.
Suddenly, a soft rustling of slippers sounded behind her, barely audible even in the deafening silence.
Startled, she spun around.
With the faint moonlight, she caught a glimpse of a woman with bloodshot eyes, sporting a ferocious and terrifying expression.
Noelle’s heart raced. Before she could flee, an ashtray struck her head hard.
As dizziness engulfed her, she felt someone grip her neck tightly, as their scream pierced her ears.

Swallowing, she winced at the discomfort in her neck.

“Didn’t the butler warn you not to go to the sixth floor at night?
Why didn’t you listen? How could you dare to climb in through the window?”
Noelle snapped back to reality and immediately reached to feel her trouser pocket.
Luckily, Noelle found the photo was still tucked in her pocket. Mekhi didn’t discover that she stole it from the study.
She explained, “I was just curious, you know? Our mother is right upstairs, and I haven’t seen her yet. I wanted to go up to see her.”
Mekhi let out a sigh.
“I won’t punish you this time. But know this; there are rules in this house, and now that you’re back, you’ll have to follow them, alright?”
