Chapter 1 - Crimson lies(1)

Episode 1: The First Blood

It was supposed to be a night of celebration.

At the isolated Silverlake Mansion, four girls reunited after years apart:

Diya, the dreamer, hiding a broken heart.

Sarah, the rich, sharp-tongued queen bee.

Sapika, the sweet but secretive one.

Hia, the wild child, always hiding scars under her laughter.

They were supposed to celebrate Hia's engagement.

But by sunrise... one of them would be dead.

---

The Setup:

Wine flowed. Music blasted. Old memories were dragged out — and old jealousies too.

Hia was marrying a man Diya once loved — a secret she never confessed.

Sarah had always believed she was better than all of them — and hated seeing Hia so happy.

Sapika watched them all with quiet guilt — because she knew a secret that could destroy them all.

At midnight, the truth started slipping out.

Diya, drunk and heartbroken, accused Hia of "stealing everything she ever wanted."

Sarah laughed cruelly and revealed that Hia's fiancé had secretly sent her love messages too.

Sapika tried to calm them — but accidentally let slip she had seen Hia kissing someone else... last week.

The room exploded into a full-blown fight.

Words sharper than knives.

Friendships shattering like glass.

---

The First Murder:

At 2:13 AM, the power went out.

Screams echoed in the dark.

When the lights flickered back on —

Sarah was lying on the grand staircase.

Her throat slashed.

Dead.

Blood smeared across the white marble like a cruel painting.

---

Immediate Chaos:

Diya's hands were covered in blood — she had been the first to find Sarah.

Hia stood frozen, trembling, whispering, "I didn't mean to..." — but what didn't she mean to do?

Sapika hid something in her jacket — something shiny and sharp.

No phones. No way to call for help.

The killer was still inside.

And they weren't done yet.

---

Ending Scene:

Outside, a thunderstorm raged.

Inside, three girls stared at each other, drenched in fear and suspicion.

Someone among them was lying.

Someone among them had killed.

And someone... would be next.
