Vows of Silence and Shadows
By @Abhi Abhi
Dr. James Vance is the toast of London, a brilliant general physician whose sharp scalpel is matched only by his colder ambition. Today, he married Andrea, the mute heiress to a massive shipping empire. James doesn't love her; he married her for her vast fortune, her striking beauty, and the quiet compliance her silence promises. As they arrive at his gloomy Victorian estate after the wedding, Andrea's face shines with hopeful innocence, while James's expression remains a mask of cold calculations. He walks inside without a word, leaving his new bride to follow him into the dark. But James is hiding a desperate secret: he is deeply in debt to London's underground syndicate, and this marriage is his only escape. What he doesn't know is that Andrea’s silence isn't a physical affliction, but a self-imposed lock on a terrifying supernatural secret. Inside the walls of his ancestral home, the hunt begins, and James's greed might just be his undoing.
