With the first light of dawn filtering through the curtains, the unfamiliar room was bathed in a soft, golden glow. Lily's surroundings came into focus as she lay on the bed, her thoughts slowly aligning with her surroundings. A mix of emotions swirled within her—the remnants of her encounter with Nikolai, the weight of her departure from Lucian's estate, and the uncertainty of her current situation.
The room itself was elegantly furnished, its décor reflecting an old-world charm. A sense of opulence and mystery lingered in the air, reminding Lily that she was far removed from her familiar surroundings. Her gaze traveled to the closed door, and a sense of curiosity stirred within her. It was her first day in this unfamiliar house, and she decided to take the opportunity to explore.
