Red Mansion Chapter 1 Novels & Stories

Chapter 1: The Arrival The car rolled up the long gravel driveway. Thick fog covered everything around the mansion. It looked dark and old, with tall towers that disappeared into the gray sky. I stared out the window, my heart beating fast. This place felt like it came straight out of one of Damien's books. I took the job because the money was really good and the contract was strict. But now, stepping out with my bag while the driver left quickly, I started to wonder if this was a bad idea.

“Am I bringing more trouble trying to get their help? Chaz used to say to never trust the vampires and Amor too said the same, but I hope they are both wrong. Just this time, I wish vampire’s heart to melt.” I made up my mind to enter the first mansion I came across. I reached out and opened the huge main gate made of iron bars. The gate opened with a shrill metallic creak. I entered the precinct. There was an enormous garden that was more like a mini forest. Amidst the garden was the path that took me to the mansion. The thickets of the garden moved behind me. But when I looked behind, no one was there. I reached out to knock on the door when an icy wind sent goosebumps all over my body.

Chapter 4 Soon we arrived in front of the biggest mansion I had ever seen in my life. It looked straight out of a movie. Before I could have time to gasp at the sheer size of it. The Alpha rudely yanked me into the house. As I stumbled into the house, my breath was blown away... this looked like the house of kings! It was so luxuriously decorated that I couldn’t stop my jaw from dropping..... Damn! This man was filthy rich!

Give me back my hard-earned eight-pack abs! END OF CHAPTER 1

*Reminisce* Elara's POV: The grandeur of the mansion always struck me, though tonight it only filled me with dread. The tall, dark doors opened before me, revealing a lavishly decorated hallway lined with ornate sconces casting a soft, golden glow. I stepped inside, the scent of polished wood and expensive perfume clinging to the air. Surprisingly, the mansion was quite empty, just Harden standing at the end of the hallway, his figure in a dark suit, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth, which irked me. My distaste for him increased to such an extent that everything about him disgusted me.

Chapter 14 Emily stepped through the towering entrance, and the sheer grandeur of the mansion threatened to swallow her whole. The sheer luxury of it all made her stomach twist. She wasn’t supposed to be here. This wasn’t her world. A massive chandelier loomed overhead, its crystals twinkling as if someone had trapped a night sky within its frame. The air smelled of aged oak and expensive cologne, the kind of scent that whispered power, old money, and unshakable legacies. Everywhere she turned, there was wealth—gold-trimmed walls, velvet drapes that pooled onto marble floors, and paintings so large they could tell entire histories.

---- Blackwood Mansion — Morning That Was Not Morning It began with silence. Not the whispering kind that welcomes a day, but the whisperingly kind that clings by a grave like a fog. The mansion, as a house of silence, was even quieter somehow. Whisperingly so. As if it had something she did not. Leya had known the instant she entered the hallway— baskets of fresh, ironed napkins spilling down her legs, stiff, rough hands from washing all day, dry mouth for lack of sleep.

While I remained rooted to my spot, too shocked to move an inch, She placed her palm on my hand and led me through the staircase, up into the mansion, while I followed absentmindedly, she came to a halt right before a huge door, opened it and led me in, The room was opulently furnished, with a majestic bed that commanded attention in the expensive space, Plush, velvety cushions called out to me to indulge in their comfort, a white silky cotton made from the finest silk bellowed down the window, dancing to the wind that streamed into the room, "Welcome to your home," Nanny Ruth said with a warm smile on her face, which only served as a confirmation that I was far from a nightmare, As soon as

My heart pounds out of dread and determination, my grip on the teddy bear and the bag unyielding. Braxton, his gold eyes never leaving mine, gently squeezes my hand, a reassurance in the face of the impending confrontation. Surprisingly, the mansion’s Omegas nicely welcome us. They push the heavy doors open and respectfully motion for us to enter the opulent foyer, as if they are already expecting our arrival. The interior is a contrast to the scene outside. Chandeliers bathe the space in a warm, golden glow, and ornate tapestries adorn the walls, depicting scenes of opulence and power. But the air is thick with tension, and a chilling silence envelopes us. At the end of a long corridor, a

Chapter 116: Perplexed **Bryan’s POV** I returned home again, the mansion no longer felt like mine. It reeked of a life I didn’t want anymore. It reeked of lies, of betrayal, of everything I was desperate to cut away from. The polished marble floors gleamed under the chandeliers, the scent of fresh roses clung to the hallways, yet the air itself felt rotten. Staff whispered as I passed, their eyes flicking nervously toward Bella’s wing of the house. The heavy doors there were shut tight, as though the darkness itself had bolted them.
