Chapter 5 - Lucy Reveals Terrifying Secrets Of The Nursery
Hearing the familiar chime of the video clips playing, Lucy winced and gripped her father’s collar even tighter.
“Daddy... don't let them send me back to the cold room upstairs,” Lucy whispered into his ear with a trembling breath.
Vittorio stopped walking, looking down at his daughter with a heart wrenching mixture of guilt and suffocating sorrow.
“What cold room, sweetheart? Tell Daddy what else they did when I was away on business trips,” Vittorio coaxed softly.

“It’s a conspiracy! The maid doctored those files to blackmail us for a severance payout!” Marcus shrieked hysterically.
