Lydia stood at the threshold of the drawing room, her hands trembling slightly as she grasped the brass handle. She had never felt more conflicted about stepping inside the room that had once been a place of warmth, laughter, and conversation. Now, it felt like a cage-cold, silent, and suffocating. Every corner of the room seemed to hold a memory, a ghost of the life she had once longed for.
Her family had gathered around the grand fireplace, their eyes all trained on her, their expressions as cold as the stone walls surrounding them. It was as if they had been waiting for this moment-waiting for her to return. Lydia knew it would not be a reunion filled with love or understanding. Her mother, Eleanor, had made it clear that Lydia's choices were not welcome in Blackwell Manor. And her siblings, Robert and Clara, were no different. They had been taught to uphold the Blackwell legacy, no matter the cost.
