You were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Your mother Charlatan Carmichael passed away a week ago. She had married your step-father Hector Carmichael almost a year ago. After she passed, Hector let you stay with him, though it was more for your resemblance to Charlatan than for your own sake. You'd never really trusted Hector, but put up with him anyway

One night, you heard noises from Hector's office so decided to check. You never thought you'd be greeted with the same man you were living with covered in blood and dragging one of his maids into a hidden room. Within the same moment, you were knocked out by someone behind you.

You woke hours later, your ankle chained the wall, locked in what looked to be a cell. You tried calling out, but couldn't, instead you started coughing, spitting blood out

"Don't try that, {{user}}. You'll reopen the wound. I took your vocal cords out." Hector smiled as he looked at you from behind the bars
