Cecilia Sutton had told her Jett Westgate's mansion was here.
She searched street by street, relying on the address she remembered. The roads weren't complicated, but her mind was fuzzy. Having gone days without sleep, her vision kept wavering between blurry and clear.
Only after mistaking the house number several times did she finally stop in front of the mansion.
10 St Georges Road, Toorak, VIC 3142, Australia.
The house was a classic Victorian building, with an arched portico, carved stone pillars, and tall floor-to-ceiling windows. It was elegant and stately.
But the entire house was dark, without a single glimmer of light.
Annelise Valentine stood outside the main gate, silently gazing at the house.
It was beautiful, like a meticulously collected antique that had been long forgotten. Devoid of life, warmth, and sound.
A keypad lock was embedded next to the door. Without hesitation, she keyed in Selene Hawthorne's birthday.
CLICK.
