She'd spent years trying to forget that place, to build a life far removed from its shadows. And now, this. This glossy advertisement, this betrayal of everything she’d tried to leave behind. She imagined the new owners, oblivious to the history, to the pain.

She felt a surge of violent energy. She wanted to sabotage the sale, to ruin their happiness, to make them understand the truth of what they were getting into. She wanted them to know the ugliness hidden beneath the beautiful facade.
