"The best secrets are the most twisted."
- Sara Shepard
"What's this?" I ask myself, while holding the strange book in my hand. I open it, and couldn't believe what I saw.
After her grandfather's death, she's taken the responsibility to hold his fortunes; with no note left for her.
Elle Hansford is just your typical girl, a bit cold and no interest in having friends. Her life seems to be "unlucky", because the fact that the things she loves the most, will end up leaving her.
But for now, she will step down a path that fated to her.
"Who... who... who are you?!" am I seeing things? No.. no... this is not real, thus it looks like.
Secrets, secrets. It must be secret. But what can you say? Curiousity can kill a cat. But it will unfold once you're on it.
What can you say Elle? This might be your grandpa's biggest secret.

The Forgotten Memories.
Lena had always felt like something was missing. There were gaps in her childhood, moments she couldn't quite grasp, as if they had been stolen from her mind. But when she stumbled upon an old, dust-covered box in her grandmother's attic, everything changed. Inside were faded photographs, letters written in a child's handwriting, and a locket she had never seen before-yet it felt so familiar. A strange sense of déjà vu washed over her as she traced the engraving on the locket: Forever Remember. As Lena pieced together the fragments of her past, memories long buried began to resurface-some warm and comforting, others dark and unsettling. She remembered laughter echoing through a sunlit house, the scent of freshly baked cookies, and the soft hum of a lullaby. But then, there were shadows-flashes of terrified screams, a locked door, and a name whispered in fear. Her heart pounded as she unfolded a fragile letter at the bottom of the box. The words sent a chill down her spine: Lena, if you ever find this, know that the truth was hidden to protect you. Do not dig further. Some memories are meant to be forgotten. But it was too late. The whispers in her dreams, the eerie familiarity of strangers on the street, and the overwhelming sense that she was being watched-it all made sense now. The forgotten memories weren't just from childhood. They were erased for a reason. And now, someone knew she was starting to remember.Complete
