The Hidden Truth

Mike Schmitt x OC

A joyful childhood with a tragic end. A trope for many novels and movies throughout tIme, but one that had become reality to one girl in particular. Anastasia Windsor grew up with a loving family. Her parents and her little sister. But that all came crashing down when her sister disappeared and left the family in shambles.

Thirteen years later, it's just her and her mother now. Anastasia lives a humble yet solitary life, barely able to make ends meet in her small apartment. The only job she was able to keep was as a freelance journalist for the local newspaper. She suffered from restless sleep, nightmares, and her past that haunted her at every turn. However, her life turns upside down when she receives a letter from her father addressed to her, seven years prior. Bewildered, Anastasia is sent on a spiraling trail to discover what happened to her sister and the mysterious death of her father.

After running into a strange man she had never seen before in her dream, she discovers his life is not much different than hers. What friendship could arise from similar tragedies? What importance would they hold each other to?
