Isadora rose from Sophia's bed and headed to her own room, recalling a mysterious text she had received in the past. The message had come from an unknown number, instructing her to reach out if any similar issues arose. Isadora's phone had been wiped by Mrs. Adriana, but she remembered saving the contact in her Gmail account, ensuring its recovery.
She accessed her contacts and found the unknown person's number. With a sense of unease, Isadora sent a text: "Hi, I'm reaching out because Sophia left the mansion last night and hasn't returned. You told me to contact you if something like this happened again."
Isadora waited anxiously on her bed for a response, wondering who was on the other end of the mysterious number.
Just then, a persistent knock at the door broke the silence. Isadora got up to answer it, revealing Marcus on the other side. "Marcus, what brings you here?" Isadora asked, surprised.
