Helen and Cornelia can be seen walking in the hallway, going to Amber's room located at the end.

When they reached the room, Cornelia produced the key and opened the padlock, they entered the door.

Amber was already waiting at the bed, wearing the face mask and the hat.

Amber raised her head and looked at the owner of the mansion. She bowed her head and said, "Good afternoon, Lady Helen," she said.

"Good afternoon," Helen replied and went to the bed. "Can I take a look at your face for a few minutes?" she requested.

Amber removed the face mask...

Helen was startled for a few seconds. She didn't expect that Amber's face is so hideous looking, she looks like a monster. She pretended that she was not affected by her monster-looking face. "Okay, put back the mask and follow us," she said, moving towards the door.

Amber put the mask back on her face and followed the women outside.

While walking in the hallway, Amber was very happy and excited to see the world outside. It's the first time that she will be out after a long time of staying inside the room like a prisoner. She has no bad feelings towards her Aunt for locking her up in the room, she was just protecting her.

The women descended the staircase and stepped into the ground floor, then they left the house and boarded the carriage that was waiting for them outside.

Helen looked at Amber. "Dear, sit here beside the window so that you can have a good view of the whole property," she ordered gently.

"Thank you, my lady!" Amber replied gladly and sat near the window.

The carriage began moving forward at a steady pace, allowing Amber to enjoy the surroundings.

Cornelia and Helen were busy discussing the recent hefty harvest of the sugarcane and cacao plantation.

Helen was smiling brightly, very much pleased. "I'm happy with the profits that we made with last month's harvest. I'll give you a bonus, Nanny!" she said.

"Thank you so much in advance, my lady," Cornelia replied happily.

The carriage toured around the plantation.

After the tour, the carriage stopped in front of the picnic hut and the women left the carriage, entering the wooden structure. The hut was surrounded by trees, the wind produced a nice afternoon breeze.

The sun was in full display in the sky.

The women settled on the chair.

Amber was able to have a full view of the plantation after the short tour, her eyes registered happiness.

Helen looked at Amber. "Dear... did you enjoy our short tour?" she asked.

"Yes! Thank you very much, my lady!" Amber replied cheerfully.

"Great!" Helen said and continue chatting with her nanny.

Amber roamed her eyes around the trees, loving the wonderful wind caressing her skin. Her life would be much better if her Aunt will allow her to leave the room once a week to see the plantation. That's one of her wishes!

One hour later.

The carriage arrived, and the servants brought refreshments into the picnic hut and arranged them on the table.

Helen looked at the servants. "Thank you, ladies! Go back to the house and come back here after one hour," she ordered.

"Aye, my lady!" the servants replied and boarded the carriage again.

Amber watched the carriage leaving, going back to the mansion. Then she shifted her attention to the food on the table, three appetizing sweets are making her salivate. They looked so appetizing!

Helen looked at her companion. "Let's eat!" she said and picked up a plate. Then she looked at Amber. "You can take off your mask, dear. Don't worry, we're the only ones here, no need to feel ashamed," she said.

Amber hesitated to take off her mask.

Helen raised a brow. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Are you okay seeing my ugly face, my lady?" Amber asked worriedly.

Helen smiled. "That's not a problem to me. I'm not going to die seeing your face, so eat as much as you can. Let's enjoy the food and the beautiful surrounding," she said gently.

"Thank you, my lady! You're so kind," Amber said in a grateful tone. She was glad that the owner of the mansion extended her kindness to her.

"Don't mention it. Let's eat!" Helen said and began putting food on her plate.

The three women start eating...

After they finished eating, Cornelia and Helen continue discussing the current status of the plantation while Amber covered the dish bowls to keep the insects away.

In the middle of their conversation, Helen spoke, "I'll give you permission to tour Amber around the property on board the carriage at least twice a week so that she won't be bored to death in her room. Just let her wear the face mask and the hat, everything will be alright."

Cornelia nodded her head. "Yes, my lady. Thank you for your kindness towards my niece," she said gratefully.

"Thank you so much, my lady!" Amber said joyously, very much thankful for the given opportunity. The lady's permission allowing her to roam around the property twice a week with her aunt is a piece of sweet music to her ears.

"Don't mention it!" Helen smiled at her companions graciously.

One hour later.

The carriage returned and the servants took the dirty dishes back to the carriage.

The women stayed in the picnic hut for another two hours, enjoying the invigorating scenery around them.

Helen looked heavenward.

It's already 5:30 in the afternoon, the sun was about to set on the horizon.

She rose to her feet and looked at her companions. "I want to walk back to the mansion. Let's go home!" she said.

"Okay, my lady," Cornelia replied.

The women left the picnic hut and strolled on the path leading back to the mansion.

Amber was savoring the wonderful experience that she was enjoying right now. It feels so good to be outside rather than being holed up inside the room 24/7. Although the books are fun to read, they can't compare to the wonderful feeling to be able to enjoy the outdoor even for just a few hours.

The women reached the mansion after half an hour of walking.

They proceed to the garden at the back of the house to rest and enjoy the colorful flowers in full bloom.

They went inside the gazebo and settled on the comfortable couch.

Helen looked at Cornelia. "Nanny, I want to eat dinner here in the garden. Please inform the cook to prepare my favorite dishes and bring our food here afterward," she ordered.

"Okay, my lady," Cornelia replied, she stood up and left the gazebo going to the house to inform the cook and the servant about the lady's order.

Back in the gazebo.

Helen looked at Amber. "Dear... do you need more books to read? I can give you more..." she offered.

"Thank you, my lady. But I haven't finish reading all the books in my room yet," she replied shyly.

Helen smiled. "Alright, take your time. After you finish reading all the books, just inform your aunt because there are more books to read in the library," she said.

"Thank you for your generosity, my lady," Amber said, liking the kind and generous lady even more.

"Don't mention it. If you need anything, you can tell your aunt about it," Helen said.

"Aye, my lady," Amber replied.

A few minutes later.

Cornelia returned to the gazebo and chatted with Lady Helen once more.

An hour later.

The servants arrived at the gazebo, carrying wooden trays laden with delicious dishes, and arranged them carefully in the center table.

Helen looked at the servants and smiled. "Thank you, ladies!" she said.

"You're welcome, my lady," the servants replied and left the gazebo.

Helen looked at the delicious feast in front of her. "Let's eat!" she told her companions.

The women ate their meals with gusto.

After they finished eating in the garden, they finally retired to their rooms on the second floor of the mansion and rest for the night.

Sighing, Amber is back in her prison room again. She went to the window and stared at the view outside.

The night is dark, the stars and moon were absent tonight.

She bit her lip, feeling sad and lonely. She felt a longing stirring deep inside her heart... as if her heart is missing something or someone!

Of course, she was missing her parents. Unfortunately, she can't picture how they look in her mind no matter how hard she tries. Her mind is blank, the only thing it contains was her memories in this mansion.

Her life in the village with her parents, they're nonexistent!

She released a deep sigh.

Maybe one day, she will be able to remember what happened in the ocean before the boat capsized - before her parents went missing. She was wondering where are their bodies right now?

She hoped that their bodies reached the seashore intact, and kind villagers found them and gave them a proper burial.

After staring at the darkness for one hour, Amber finally closed the window and went to bed.

She lies in bed, staring at the ceiling.

Two hours later.

Amber's eyelids were dropping fast and she drifted into a deep slumber.

She was dreaming in her sleep.

She was on board a boat with strangers, then suddenly... big waves appeared out of nowhere and tossed the boat violently until the passengers fell into the raging sea except her.

The strangers were shouting for help... among the passengers are two grannies, one beautiful woman and there's a handsome guy as well. They looked familiar to her but she can't remember their names or where did she meet them.

"Sabrina... help us!" the two grannies screamed in panic, floating in the water.

"Help me, friend!" the beautiful woman shouted, fear leaping from her eyes.

"My love, help me please!" the handsome guy said, his eyes begging for her mercy and help.

When Amber was about to help the strangers they were swept away by the big waves and vanished from her eyes. She looked at the scary waves helplessly, she shut her eyes, waiting for them to devour her.

A few minutes later, she opened her eyes and was greeted with the sight of calm water, the big waves were gone as if they didn't exist in the first place.

The boat continues drifting in the vast ocean in no particular direction.

...

The following day.

Amber woke up at 7:00 in the morning.

Then she remembered her dream last night, she was wondering why those strangers called her Sabrina?

She finds it strange that those people looked familiar to her!

Who are they?

She got up from the bed, shaking her head in confusion, then she went inside the bathroom to do her thing.

Her day just started, reading books as always, not giving much attention to her weird dream last night.
