Burden Mansion 소설 & 이야기

The return to the Knight Mansion was a grand affair, but for Zara, it felt like entering a beautiful, gilded prison. Three black SUVs pulled into the winding driveway, their tires crunching on the pristine white gravel. Begum Salma sat in the back of the lead car, her hand resting firmly on Zara’s. She refused to let go, as if Zara were the only anchor keeping her tethered to the world of the living.

The SUV crunched to a halt on the gravel drive of Thorne Manor. The estate was a sprawling gothic monolith of black stone and narrow, watchful windows, tucked away behind a forest that felt far older than the surrounding London suburbs. Elias didn't wait for the driver. He opened the door, his hand instantly finding the small of Cat’s back, guiding her with a possessive firmness that made her skin hum. Inside, the manor was a tomb of silent luxury—vaulted ceilings, marble floors that reflected the flicker of candlelight, and walls lined with maps that looked like they were drawn in dried blood.

"He took the wrong medication. Or it was a heart attack. Do you hear me?" She crouched down and began gathering the torn scraps of paper Jamie had scattered across the floor. "Put the pill bottles away. Throw them out downstairs—separately. Burn this paper." She lifted her head and looked at the two children, both frozen with fear. "For this thirty thousand. For Stephanie's schooling. For your tuition… Charles can only have died by 'accident.'" The police came soon too. A neighbor had called the police after hearing the commotion, just before Jamie arrived.

He thinks that they are troublesome. Driver let go to the mansion. James said sitting in the car. After 30 minutes they enter in the gate of mansion with heavily tight security, looking at the entrance anyone can might think that it is a president house but actually it is the ancestral mansion of Business tycoon James Anderson. It was located just outside of the city. It whole 400 square yard front area was covered in the garden between it was the stone path to walk toward the mansion with an enormous fountain in it, design with beautiful statue and fairy lights.

It'd been a week since the burial, it rained all through the week, but somehow William and Amelia managed to move their belongings away from the little apartment into the mansion, their new home! Everyone was settled in and life in the mansion had begun. The old red, brick mansion had been passed on from parents to children over the years, it was a tradition. The mansion was never to be sold or abandoned, it was an inheritance, a history, the Johnson family legacy.

River Black House Eventide was a sprawling manor surrounded by a wrought iron fence dripping with crimson roses. Four stories and made of marble, it was the most beautiful building she’d ever seen in person. It did look like a prince would live there. Something about it was sad too, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Most of the windows were dark, heavy curtains drawn. The gardens in the courtyard were a little overgrown. It looked to be a grand place forgotten. She supposed that’s what made it sad.

So are you ready to leave with me now? "Yes." I whispered and we walked to the car. When we got into the car, Bennett zoomed off. The drive was a long one, and finally we pulled over into a beautiful mansion in the middle of nowhere... "It's an Estate." He said. "I'm sorry Sir, but I'm not seeing any houses here." I said. Who would build a house in the middle of nowhere? A Mafia man. He chuckled. "It's behind the mansion. Plenty of houses." "And it's all yours, right?" I asked and he nodded.

She swallowed her words, and Tyler pushed out of the mansion in her wheelchair.

February 2025 - Blackthorpe Residence Nash The summons to lunch arrived on a Wednesday morning. No explanation. No pleasantries. Just a message from my father's secretary requesting that both Mason and I attend luncheon at the family residence on Saturday. I stared at it for a long moment. The Blackthorpe mansion had never been home. It was merely the place where I'd grown up. There was a difference. The estate sat in the heart of Old Westbury, hidden behind towering wrought-iron gates and acres of perfectly manicured grounds. The old-money enclave was where hedge fund billionaires, industrial dynasties and generations of inherited wealth disappeared behind stone walls and tree-lined drives.

Nicholas held the car door open for Zane meanwhile Zane took her purse and Nicholas’s smartphone with her so Nicholas wouldn’t have to take two trips back. Zane was awed by the beautiful mansion before them. It was a classic mansion with a monochrome gray palette, it had a big patio that would welcome anyone warmly with its bright lights and exquisite designs. The intricate wall carvings speak a lot for the whole mansion since it is a simple foretelling of the werewolf’s world. For normal people, they would think that it was just for the design, when in fact it is the real history of the Bane royal family from the very first descendant of the bloodline.
