The weight of the legal documents felt heavy in Amelia's hands, a physical representation of the disappointment she felt. Her brother, Jasper, received the family’s publishing house, the legacy and the promise of continuing the family name. She was given a simple, wooden box filled with old, blank journals and pens.

She watched her brother’s face, his expression one of triumph and pride. The words of the lawyer were a dull echo in her ears. She felt like an outsider, disconnected.

She retreated to her quiet bedroom, the silence a comfort and the journals a mystery. She picked up a pen, and slowly began to write, letting her thoughts flow onto the page. She realized her inheritance was a chance to finally tell her own story.
