     The house itself was new. The secrets and lies that were hidden inside have been happening ever since Ludmillas mother was with her birth father. The man who she was now married to wasn't great, but she fell in love with him out of loneliness. The house was the latest addition from their marriage that was soon to be ended.
     Michelle married Wayne and all that they had was Ludmilla and Wayne's son from a previous engagement with another woman. The boy was adopted by him and later was not heard from again until he was in jail. He came back into their life and as soon as he was, he was gone. Leaving to be with the mother of his unborn child. But was soon caught and sent back to jail for breaking his parole​.
     The house they bought wasn't bought out of love for another, but for their own wanting. Their selfish needs. It is a nice house. Simple yet elegant that didn't scream rich not poor. The outside was covered in red white and black stone standing out against the other neighbors houses which were red with black or red and white. The front garden was torn up due hating the mulch that the landscapers had used because Wayne said they brought termites. The grade and trees were trimmed with the same white stone used to build their house.
     The kitchen, dining room, and living room, we're all open to one another. The front foyer behind the black door that kept all those secrets led out to the dining room, and into the entry way for both the kitchen and living room. The dining room had a breakfast nook where the antique table that once belonged to Ludmillas' great grandmother. The blinds were open in the morning but only on the weekends so Ludmilla could see the birds that visited her birdbath in the front.
     The kitchen could be entered on the opposite wall from the windows of the breakfast nook. The counters were a thick granite and deep cherry wood cabinets lined the walls. They had all the latest appliances and coffee pots for each person. Dishes were piled high nearly every night and left for Ludmilla to wash. The bar the divided the kitchen from the living room had a cat bed on it near the wall for the family cat.
     The living room was plain and boring. A dog kennel in the corner keeping the dog trapped behind bars since Wayne had moved in, a TV that Wayne said they could for in the living room since it was broken.  And the patio was connected to the living room. There was a hallway that sat in between the kitchen and the living room that led into the opposite side of the house. There lied the bedrooms, bathrooms, and the laundry room. Nothing special was in that hallway.
     Rye was right with what he said about the house. That the house was a mystery. Only time would be able to tell when the secrets finally were to leave Ludmillas' mouth. Or if Rye found out first.
