Your funeral

The grandeur of the orchestra filled the air, its melodic strains dancing through the lavishly decorated hall. People of opulence and prestige adorned the ballroom, their attire exuding sophistication and grace, a testament to their status. Amongst the well-heeled crowd, Emma and Kaoru made their entrance, a striking pair amid the sea of elegance.

A scarlet Bugatti screeched to a halt at the entrance, drawing eyes with its sheer magnificence. Emma emerged, a vision in a resplendent red gown that draped elegantly around her figure. Her poise and grace demanded attention, turning heads as she stepped out of the car. Beside her, Kaoru, clad in a striking blue tuxedo that accentuated his piercing blue eyes, exuded an air of composed sophistication.

Taking Emma's hand in his, Kaoru led her down the crimson carpet, their strides measured and purposeful as they traversed the path to the hall's entrance. Emma's gaze flitted around in awe at the breathtaking surroundings, the opulence of the ballroom leaving her momentarily spellbound.

Kaoru's mocking reminder pierced through the enchanting ambiance, drawing Emma's attention back to their clandestine mission. She shot him a reproachful look, reaffirming her determination to fulfill their purpose—forge connections and approach Ashley Dobberman, the key to unraveling the dark truths veiled within the town.

The symphony of violins filled the air, ushering in an atmosphere of merriment and jubilation. Yet amidst the revelry, Kaoru's disdain for the gathering was palpable. His eyes scanned the room, contempt evident as he cursed the guests in hushed tones, the falsity of their masks of civility grating against his sensibilities.

Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the harmony of the evening, cutting through the laughter and music. A maid, trembling with fear, burst into the hall, her voice quivering as she relayed a harrowing discovery—Ashley Dobberman lay lifeless in a pool of blood.

Kaoru's reaction was unnerving—a smirk graced his lips as he revealed himself as a private investigator and a close confidant of Ashley Dobberman. His swift action to be escorted to the scene hinted at a deeper understanding of the grim reality that unfolded before them.

While Kaoru remained composed, Emma stood shaken to her core. The sudden turn of events, the chilling revelation of Ashley Dobberman's demise, sent shockwaves through her being. Her eyes darted around in disbelief, her mind grappling with the gravity of the situation.

Sensing Emma's distress, Kaoru offered reassurance, urging her to maintain composure in the face of adversity. His calm demeanor amidst chaos served as a beacon of stability, a silent reminder that they were now embroiled in a dangerous game of secrets and deceit.

As they approached the scene, the hall descended into a cacophony of whispers and speculation. The lifeless body of Ashley Dobberman lay motionless on the floor, the once-glamorous hostess now an enigmatic figure in the throes of tragedy. Kaoru's calculated demeanor and swift action hinted at a deeper understanding of the events, while Emma struggled to comprehend the gravity of the situation.

The chapter drew to a close, leaving Emma standing amidst the chilling aftermath of Ashley Dobberman's demise, her mind swirling with questions and uncertainties. The shadows of the ballroom concealed secrets that loomed larger than ever, beckoning Emma and Kaoru into a labyrinth of danger and deception.
