As she turned to leave, a sound of heavy chains suddenly emanated from one of the rooms along the corridor.

The heavy iron chains could be heard scraping against the floor.
This sound was unsettling in the otherwise quiet house.
“Mother? Is that you?” Noelle called out again but got no response.
The atmosphere grew increasingly unsettling.
“What are you doing here?”
A cold, low voice of a man unexpectedly sounded from behind, sending a chill down Noelle’s spine.
Shaking with fear, she turned around, her heart filled with dread.
Beneath the moonlight, Mekhi’s usually handsome face wore an eerie gloom that made Noelle terrified.
“Mekhi. Noelle steadied herself and gripped the razor tightly. She was ready to defend herself at a moment’s notice.
Wearing a stern expression, Mekhi inquired, “Why aren’t you in your room? What brings you to the top floor? Didn’t I warn you to behave yourself after the last incident?”

“I… I couldn’t sleep. I heard some noise from upstairs, so I came to check. Just as I was about to leave, I ran into you.” She swallowed hard and changed the subject.

“When did you return? It’s so late, and you’re still in your military uniform…”
Mekhi replied calmly, “I just completed a mission. Tomorrow is the banquet in your honor, so I returned to attend.”
“Oh, alright. Have a good rest,” Noelle said respectfully, bowing her head.
His face and voice remained cold.
“Return to your room.”
“Okay.” Noelle nodded. But thinking of the eerie sound of chains earlier, she couldn’t let it go.
“Is mother’s room really on the top floor? I heard the sound of iron chains scraping the floor. Is that her?”
“She’s asleep. You must have misheard,” he said, his expression unchanged.
“But…” Noelle persisted, “I didn’t mishear. I swear I heard it. If she’s the only one on the top floor, why lock her up?”
Mekhi narrowed his eyes at her coldly and remained quiet.
“Mekhi, I’m part of this family too. We should be honest with each other. I have every right to know the Shaw family’s secret.”
“Don’t overthink it. There are no secrets in the Shaw family. Now, go get some sleep.”
