"You are my happiness. That is what you do not understand. I would do any soul-crushing task without you even asking, simply because as long as you're happy, my world is upright."
Verna is a sharp, independent, cunning girl who never found it difficult to talk her way out of a situation-not that she'd ever had to. She is a rule follower. A woman who values due process and finds perfection to be the standard.
After studying at Oxford, she meets Beatrice Holmes, and they quickly become inseparable. However, this also meant she must now meet her brothers. Mycroft is like Verna. He's perfect in every sense and often leads his life with precision. Sherlock, on the other hand, was the opposite.
Verna found him impulsive and never appreciated the way he refused to do things the proper way. Yet, that never stopped her from lending a helping hand when he needed it, and now was no different.
After people who have lived in their family homes for generations either suddenly gained enough money to move to more lavish parts of England, eyebrows rose, but no one became interested until some began to disappear.
England was supposed to be a fresh start for Verna, but now she found herself in the same cat-and-mouse game as she always did when Sherlock was around.
But this time was different.
This time, she was not only chasing down a murder but also running from her own mystery that could possibly end in her signing her life away.
