It’s stood here for centuries, guarding secrets only my family has ever known. From the time I was a child, I heard whispers of a hidden fortune, a legacy left by the founders of my family. But no one knew where it was, or even if it truly existed.” His words faltered as if the gravity of what he was saying caught up with him. Catherine was silent, absorbing his words, her gaze following his every movement.

Kai stood a little apart, tattooed arms folded, watching everything with that intense, brooding stare. They spent the next two hours inside the museum, taking photos of old artifacts, scribbling notes about colonial history, and pretending to be serious students.

The Bentley glided up the driveway of the mansion shortly after midnight. The headlights sliced through the darkness, briefly illuminating the marble columns that had always reminded me of a mausoleum. Because that was what this house had always been: a gilded tomb for living souls. But something was different tonight. Lights were on upstairs. Movement. Shadows behind the curtains. The mansion never truly slept at midnight, but there was a different quality in the air — an electric tension, like the silence before a storm.

Kinsley lived in this lavish medieval mansion with his loyal butler Aunt Margaret, who had cared for him since he lived in Broughton Country. The mansion consists of two floors. At the front, there is a towering wall and gate. Entering the gate, you are presented with a large yard, a garden, and a small pond with a fountain in the middle of the pond. Besides the yard, there is a small garden overgrown with greenery, and a carport can accommodate ten cars.

In New York - The black limousine glided through the big gates of the Blackwood estate. The mansion was no less than a fortress of glass and stone that looked more like a modern palace than a home.

Once the car came to a halt, the silence was shattered by the sweet and melodic giggles of little Emma.

Immediately junior rushed to his room for Stacy to sigh. “Is selling the mansion necessary aunty?” She asked for cynthia to nod. “That place has become cursed. My husband brother and his wife was assassinated there, Aaron bury their home and build his own on it and what happened to him, he died before seeing his daughter.

I have heard people say that when life throws you lemons, you make lemonade with them, but I haven't heard them explain how one makes these lemonades with a broken soul. Buried in thought, I slipped into a restless nap in the car. When my eyes fluttered open again, the car had already stopped moving and was parked in front of the largest and most beautiful mansion in the city. The curvy driveway was larger than the compound of my father's house and the garden included. The building was surrounded by trees, well-manicured lawns, and six statues. Each statue conveys a message, but they all tell one story. The historical lineage of the great Drummonds family.

“I have a meeting to attend.” “You’re not coming too?” Benita asked. The desperation in her voice slipped out before she could stop it. “No, I’m not.” His tone was curt.
