The First Clue and a Journey to the Past

The Aggarwal mansion, a place that had been a silent, imposing fortress for so long, was now a launching pad for a new kind of quest. The ghosts of the past, a silent, heartbreaking testament to a family's shame, were no longer a haunting presence, but a guiding light. Anika and Vikram, a united front against a world of deceit and betrayal, were no longer fighting for a legacy; they were fighting for a person. For a forgotten child. For a truth that was not yet ready to be forgotten. The diary, a brittle, yellowed testament to a life that had been a silent, heartbreaking lie, was their compass. The locket, a small, cold, beautiful thing of a thousand secrets, was their map.
