The antique dealer had practically swindled Martha out of her life savings for this house. She’d been so blinded by the charm, the promises of a quiet life. Now, standing in the musty, unfinished basement, fists clenched, she wanted to smash something. The realtor had *sworn* there were no hidden rooms. The back wall of the storage closet, newly exposed, was clearly not original, the wood looking out of place compared to the rough-hewn stone around it. “Liar!” she spat, her voice tight, echoing in the confined space. This was a betrayal, a complete and utter fraud. She would make him pay.
