The sun had barely risen over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the grand estate.

Millicent, still feeling a bit concerned about Amy's nightmare from the previous night, made a sumptuous meal , hoping a hearty breakfast would lift everyone's spirit,

Amy screamed "

He was a tall, imposing figure with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes that seemed to bore into those he looked at. His dark hair was flecked with gray, giving him a distinguished air that was hard to ignore.

"Good morning, everyone," he boomed, his voice filling the room. "I trust you're all doing well?" He said taking his seat at the head of the table, dropping his suit case and giving a signal to his driver to go keep his suit case up stairs

Amy was so excited that she told father all that has happened while he was away .

Including her night mare, But little did they know, father's arrival would soon bring a dramatic turn to their pleasant breakfast gathering.

Slowly the room fell silent as everyone waited for him to continue. Millicent, sensing a hint of tension in the air, reached for a croissant, hoping to break the silence.

But before she could take a bite, sir Backwood called her ,

His eyes locked onto Millicent's, a hint of apology in his expression. "Millicent, dear, I assume your a new staff here or rather a new chef
