The last chamber! A servant’s chamber. A small, dirty chamber, where there was only one drawer. Alexandra closed her eyes and took a deep breath before grabbing hold of the drawer and turning it upside down. Like magic, sheets after sheets of paper came floating down from it, like feathers. Alexandra felt like her heart was stuck in her throat. She got down on her knees and began to look at each paper one by one, reading over its contents out loud. “Stock, stock, a list for the weekly grocery shopping.”

She began to panic before she grabbed hold of one yellow and delicate piece of paper. Her green eyes traveled over the ink, imprinted letters, and let out a sigh of relief.

“Documentation of the house property… Mansion Thompson.”

She felt like jumping, and so she did. She looked down and saw both her father’s and mother’s signature, and once again, she jumped, higher. “Damn it!” She looked upwards and closed her eyes. “About time you got on my side, huh?”

Suddenly, the sound of a heavy book hitting the ground made her reopen her eyes and looked at the source. She tilted her head, got on her knees, and grabbed hold of a pocket-size book, with its cover eroded by the humidity. It appeared that the drawer had a false bottom, which became loose with her shaking.

Without putting much thought into it, she placed the book inside her back pocket and ran out of the room.
