The Cliffside Villa (3)

Just a few days back, the villa was abruptly shaken by the sound of something shattering. It startled the peace of the place, causing everyone to stop in their tracks and wonder what had happened.

In her room, Lady Clarissa was fuming from receiving a rejection letter from the Marchioness. Lady Clarissa had been patient, sending out loads of letters, each one asking for a chance to meet and have a simple tea with her.

The rejection hit her hard, and she was downright enraged that all the effort she put into her polite requests seemed wasted.

Mira vividly recalled the aftermath of Lady Clarissa's explosive anger. The room bore the evidence of her rage, with hundreds of broken vase shards scattered across the floor.

"Aagh!" With frustration boiling over, Lady Clarissa shoved the coffee table, creating a loud thud as it scraped across the floor.
