Prologue

"This is a really unusual place for a lady!!" ,exclaimed Marylyn Scott as she walked into a withered castle-like mansion.

Trotting through the empty hallway of old broken wooden floor and walls covered in cobwebs and dust.

Upon approaching the stairs she felt a little breeze sway her long red locks as she went to the top floor to get signatures of her client

"Holy Jesus!!" ,She yelped as she got startled by sudden cold she felt as she opened the door.

"Why should Anne get to go to Florence with boss ,when I get stuck in a haunted house " she grunted as she stepped in the room

"Good morning dear",an elderly voice echoed in room

"Good morning madam!",she said looking upon a really aged woman lying on the bed ....smiling gently she said "I am from Princeton law chambers,I came here to talk about your property and...."she got cut off by the woman

"I would like to give it to people living there now"she said without thinking twice

"Then, I guess you would have to sign a will "

"I can't go to a typist as you can see dear"said the old woman a little sad

"I'll type for you,if you please madam "she was polite with her words

"God bless you my child "

"Ok so I'm noting in my book for now,I'll type it as soon as possible if it's ok with you?"asked Mary she didn't like the place but she was compassionate nonetheless

"Sure,help yourself dear ! Sit down,you must be exhausted! I'll make you some tea!" Said the sweet old woman

*she got up from her bed and head downstairs and Marylyn waited in the room*

"Thank you!" Mary told loudly and stood near the open window and looked outside as she saw foggy hill sides and long stretches of dark green forest as far as sight goes

She saw a graveyard nearby and many trees in this strangely gloomy place

"Why do I get stuck in this haunted house and Anne gets to go to Florence with Miss Andrew! when I do all the work ",she thought as she felt the cold in her bones

"Enchanting isn't it?"a voice interrupted her thoughts

"Yes very much " she stuttered

*marylyn came and sat on a seemingly hundred years old sofa while the old woman stirred the tea*

"So before we begin I think we should loosen up "said the woman

"Sure !" Agreed Marylyn

"So where are you from?"

"Originally from Sussex but now I work in London "

"Your turn ask me anything you want "woman smiled

" how did a fine lady as yourself end up here alone?" Mary addressed her burning question only to receive the smile fade and turn into a sad serious face

"I am sorry if I offended you "Mary hurried to clear her mistake

"No well do you really want to know?"she asked now serious

"Yes well I understand if you don't want to "said Mary

"I will tell you dear " she said and looked towards the window

This is inspired by a famous Emily brontë novel wuthering heights
