Chapter 1 Whispers in the Night

The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the town of Willow Creek. Emily Carter stood at the edge of the forest, her breath misting in the crisp night air. In the distance, the silhouette of the Vanishing Mansion loomed, its darkened windows staring out like hollow eyes.As a journalist, Emily had always been drawn to stories shrouded in mystery. And the legend of the Vanishing Mansion was one that had captured her imagination like no other.

Rumors of ghostly apparitions and unsolved mysteries had plagued Willow Creek for centuries, and Emily was determined to uncover the truth behind the haunting tale.With a sense of trepidation mingled with excitement, Emily ventured deeper into the forest, her footsteps muffled by fallen leaves. The darkness enveloped her like a cloak, and the only sound was the distant hoot of an owl.As she approached the outskirts of the town, Emily's heart quickened with anticipation. The Vanishing Mansion stood before her, its once-grand facade now weathered and worn with age. Ivy snaked its way up the crumbling walls, and the air was heavy with the scent of decay.Drawing closer, Emily could hear the faintest whisper of voices carried on the night breeze. She strained to listen, her senses on high alert. Was it merely the wind playing tricks on her ears, or were there truly whispers in the night?Pressing forward, Emily stepped over the threshold of the mansion, her pulse racing with a mixture of fear and excitement. The interior was cloaked in darkness, the only illumination coming from the pale moonlight filtering through broken windows.Her footsteps echoed hollowly on the dusty floorboards as she made her way through the deserted halls. Cobwebs clung to the corners like ghostly shrouds, and the air was thick with the scent of decay.Suddenly, a faint glimmer caught Emily's eye. She turned toward it, her heart pounding in her chest. There, in the corner of the room, stood a mirror, its surface tarnished with age.Approaching cautiously, Emily reached out a trembling hand and touched the cool glass. In an instant, the mirror seemed to come alive, shimmering with an otherworldly light.And then, she saw it – a fleeting glimpse of a figure standing behind her, its features obscured in shadow. Before Emily could react, the figure vanished, leaving her alone in the darkness once more.With a shiver running down her spine, Emily knew that she had stumbled upon something beyond her wildest imaginings. The Vanishing Mansion held secrets far darker than she could have ever imagined, and she was determined to uncover them, no matter the cost.As she made her way back through the forest, the whispers of the night seemed to follow her, echoing in her ears like a haunting refrain. And though fear gnawed at her heart, Emily knew that she had only just begun to scratch the surface of the mysteries that lay hidden within the shadows of Willow Creek.

The kiss grew more passionate as he felt her warm supple body pressing against his chest. He couldn't believe how soft she was. He was gentler this time, making love to her with a slow, languorous pace, pausing now and then to check the expression on her face. Kira was. transported. She no longer felt the fabric of the sheets underneath her. One moment, she was floating in the air, cuddled by cotton candy clouds. The next, she'd become one with a dinghy, bobbing up and down with the undulating waves. His scent enveloped her. He was on top of her, using his arms to support his weight and avoid crushing her. She snuggled up closer to him, safe and snug, cocooned in his warmth. Kira had always marvelled at Austyn's stamina, but he outdid himself tonight. In the midst of overwhelming rapture, Kira still had the presence of mind to broach the subject she'd been meaning to bring up. 'My dad's medical bills.' Austyn paused. He frowned as he looked into those beseeching eyes. 'It'll be taken care of by the end of business day tomorrow,' he said with a bit of an edge in his voice. Kira breathed out. ****** She is a 21-year-old college student who dreams of becoming a journalist. He is the heir of the McCarthy family and president of a business empire. She is bright-eyed and vivacious, a glass-half-full kind of gal. When life throws her a curveball, she knocks it out of the park. He is the archetypal alpha male, aggressive and domineering. Endowed with both brains and brawn, he steamrolls over his enemies and rules his company with an iron fist. The two would never have crossed paths if not for a cruel twist of fate. Kira's world was turned upside down when her father was hospitalised after a car accident. The medical bills were astronomical. Austyn McCarthy offered her a way out. The price: becoming his contract wife. At night, he consummated their marriage but called out another woman's name. Who was she? Why did Austyn marry Kira if he was in love with someone else? Kira was his lawful wife, but she had no right to ask these questions. Then one day, the woman showed up in front of her.
