But a few days later when Lowen, Jeremy and his son shift away from the mansion Lowen finds
a letter. In which Verity tells about how the manuscript was just an exercise for writing her
novels because the novels she wrote was from the villain’s point of view, therefore she made
entries where she made herself the villain of her life by changing the details of her own entries

The whole book makes us believe that Verity was indeed the Villain of their life, but the letter
