Camille Alessanda de Clervaux (von Beirutt) hadn't always been what she now was. There was a time she had been a classy lady with an amazing husband to whom she was extremely faithful. He was an intelligent, and driven man someone that had swept naive flame-haired beauty right off her unsuspecting feet. Julien von Beirutt had made every second of Cami's life worthwhile, and it wasn't until his disappearance that she had found a need to evolve.
Julien travelled between Belgium, and Austria often taking the back roads between the two countries because he enjoyed the countryside. Cami never understood it since the time between their reunions was always extended due to his persistence. Sometimes she had wondered if he had some other woman waiting on him, and that was why it took so long for him to return to her, but every time his carriage came around the bend of their driveway she found her heart would begin to beat in excess simply knowing he was in the same vicinity. She had married him at quite a young age, but it was an arrangement her father was proud of. Julien had inherited quite a dowry from herself, but the real reward came in moving to his estate.
Once Cami moved into Julien's mansion is when things really began to play out, and she started to see that she was meant to be a trophy, and not really loved. Sure he was handsome, and well off as well, but at this time Camille had been in love with the idea of love. All she wanted was his dedication, and complete devotion. Yet her husband was not about to give up his bachelor lifestyle.
One dark October night Camille had woken up late after having been confined to her chamber for the duration of dinner due to having become quite sick to her stomach. Adventuring towards her toilet she was about to start vomiting. Thankfully it was simply the feeling of nauseousness that had gotten to her, but nothing was expelled from her stomach as she leant over the ceramic throne. It was then that she heard the noises coming down the hall. The manor itself was a rather large one with four separate wings, and it being in the wee hours of the morning the halls were almost as black as the night outside. Peeking her head out the door she peered up the right side of the corridor, and then turning her head she scanned the left. There was not a single person to be found, but the sound she heard had clued her in to the fact that somewhere in the house someone was awake, and certainly not alone.
