Suddenly, Liam reached out and grasped her hand, his touch was surprisingly comforting. "Come with me, Annabelle," he whispered. "I'll keep you safe."

Annabelle hesitated, unsure if she should trust this mysterious stranger. But his piercing blue eyes made her feel like she had no choice.

She nodded, and Liam led her out of the garden, into the darkness of the night. They walked in silence, the only sound being the crunch of gravel beneath their feet.

As they walked, Annabelle realized they were heading towards the woods. The same woods where she had first met Liam.

"Liam, where are we going?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiwpqCMNlK
Liam didn't respond, but instead, kept walking, his grip on her hand tightening.

And then, they reached the edge of the woods, and Annabelle saw it - a magnificent mansion, hidden away from prying eyes.

"Welcome to your new home, Annabelle," Liam said, his eyes gleaming with a knowing light.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpJcccmiju
Annabelle's mind reeled as she realized she was being taken to a place where she would uncover more about her family's past.

Annabelle's eyes widened as she stepped into the mansion, her heart racing with anticipation. What secrets lay hidden within these walls?
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjoH4qDOr
As she entered the mansion, Annabelle was struck by its grandeur. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a kaleidoscope of colors across the walls. Portraits of her ancestors adorned the walls, their eyes seeming to follow her every move.

Liam led her to a door hidden behind a tapestry. "This is the library," he said, pushing the door open. "Here, you'll find the history of your family's past."

Annabelle's heart skipped a beat as she stepped inside. The room was filled with ancient tomes, their leather covers creaking with age. She ran her fingers over the spines, feeling a strange energy emanating from them.

Suddenly, a book fell off the shelf, opening to a page marked with a strange symbol. Annabelle staggered forward, she recognized the symbol - it was the same one on the scroll, the same one in her nightmares.

Liam's eyes locked onto hers. "You're ready to know the truth," he said, his voice low and husky, sounding more like a statement than a question.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawTKKf0tyE
Annabelle nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. And then, Liam began to speak, his words weaving a tale of magic, power, and betrayal...
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQrAOejZws
Liam's words painted a picture of a family legacy shrouded in mystery and magic. But as Annabelle listened, she began to feel a nagging sense of doubt.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49MD2eHD9Z
"Wait," she said, her voice trembling. "That's not true. My family would never..."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwnSGGGvJu
Liam's expression turned somber. "I'm afraid they would, Annabelle. Your family has been lying to you your entire life."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79aWHfbW9n
Annabelle's world spun around her. "What do you mean?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErvzBg1z6e
Liam's eyes locked onto hers. "You're not who you think you are. You're not even a part of this family."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj97PNwyIx6
Annabelle froze as Liam's words hit her like a ton of bricks. "What do you mean? Of course, I'm a part of this family!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQi6tEPOhj
Liam's voice was gentle but firm. "Annabelle, Your family has been using you to further their own interests. They've been manipulating you, controlling you..."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzGgsThwdS
Annabelle felt like she'd been punched in the gut. She couldn't breathe, couldn't think. Her whole life, everything she thought she knew, was a lie.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BoLlFSYZo
And then, Liam dropped another bombshell: "Your real parents, Annabelle, they're not dead. They're alive, and they've been searching for you."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w85KcZVfZ
Annabelle's world shattered into a million pieces. She felt like she was living in a dream, a nightmare that she couldn't wake up from.
