Matilda never wanted to return to that hell hole. The sand and rocks under her boots were the only sound she heard while walking through the dead opium field. The alacran estate loomed in the distance. She walked to it as if she was drawn to it like a moth to flame. She entered the mansion with slight hesitation. She walked through the dusty halls. She noticed whiskey bottles on the floor in one of the bedrooms. She entered the room and began to look for anything valuable. She found some expensive looking jewelry. She stuffed it into her bag and opened the closet. She pulled out a very beautiful dress. It was a royal blue sundress. She got a little curious and undressed. She put on the dress and twirled in front of the mirror. She giggled and continued to admire herself. What she didn't count on was the man watching her from down the hall in front of the door.
