The room was silent.
Joseph inhaled deeply before speaking.

š„ THE SHOT
Amber stepped forward.
Her veil shiftedā¦
revealing her shape.
Amber was seven months pregnant.
Mr. William froze.
"ā¦Youā¦ you'reā¦ pregnant?"
His finger twitched.
BANG.
The gunshot echoed like thunder.
But it wasn't Amber who fell.
Jonathan collapsed to the floor.
Everyone screamed.
Children:
"JONATHAN!!" š±
The house erupted into panic.
People rushed toward Jonathan, dragging him away to safety.
Soon, only two people remained in that silent hallway:
Amber
and
Mr. William.

š THE END OF WILLIAM
Reality finally hit him.
Mr. William staggered back, horrified.
"Grandā¦ fatherā¦?"
He touched his chest, confused.
"I'mā¦ shotā¦?"
He collapsed.
Breath gone.
Eyes empty.
Amber stood over himā
expressionless.
Not a tear.
Not a word.

THE CHILDREN LISTEN
The children around Joseph trembled.
Emily had goosebumps. šØ
Lussy clutched her blanket.
Thomas swallowed hard.
Eric was crying softlyā
until Justin pulled him into a quiet hug.
Justin wasn't scared.
He had seen darkness before.
He only focused on calming Eric.
---
š„ "PLEASE CONTINUE."
Joseph sighed.
"I told youā¦
this story is terrifying at the beginning.
But once you know everythingā¦
you'll realize Amber sis was trying to protect everyone." š
The kids nodded, though still shaken.
"Okay," Joseph continued.
"This is where everything truly exploded."
---
š THE DRIVE
Amber walked past Jonathan's blood without blinking.
Her voice was flat.
"Joseph. Car."
Joseph gulped.
"Yes, sisā¦"
He didn't dare look into her eyes.
During the drive, Amber didn't speak.
Not a sound.
Not a breath out of rhythm.
Joseph was shaking.
Amber was terrifyingly calm.
They reached the William estate.
Amber stepped out.
---
š„ THE HOUSE OF SIN
She entered the mansion like a storm.
No greetings.
No hesitation.
People tried to speakā
she ignored them.
Everyone who had hurt herā¦
everyone who had betrayed herā¦
everyone who had thrown her awayā
Amber confronted them one by one.
---
š MRS. WILLIAM
Mrs. William stumbled out in panic.
"Amber, what are youā!?"
Suddenly, she clutched her side and collapsed.
Her breath stopped.
Lussy:
"WaitāMrs. William??" š³
Joseph:
"Your grandpaā¦ after Amber left the familyā¦
married Natalie's aunt for business.
That woman became her stepmother."
Children:
"Ohhhā¦" š²

ā« THE DARKEST ROOM
Amber walked further inside.
A room at the end of the hall was half-open.
There were horrible noisesā
laughter mixed with something worse.
Insideā¦
A man was committing an atrocity against a lifeless body.
He turned, startledā
but Amber did not even let him speak.
A single, sharp action.
Silence.
Thenā
She covered the body gently, like protecting something fragile and human.
The kids went silent.
Even the mischievous ones.
No one dared breathe.
---
Joseph whispered:
"That was the moment I realizedā¦
Amber wasn't a monster."
"She was cleaning up a hell that adults created."
"And she was doing it alone."
