The day of the charity gala…
The evening sky was a deep, velvety blue, studded with stars that twinkled above the stately estate. The grand entrance to the mayor's mansion was a breathtaking sight.
The mansion itself was an imposing structure, its elegant architecture illuminated by dozens of strategically placed lights that cast a warm, golden glow across the sprawling lawns and meticulously manicured gardens.
A red carpet had been rolled out from the circular driveway to the grand front doors, lined with tall, flickering torches that lent an air of old-world grandeur to the event. Guests in elegant evening attire were making their way up the steps, greeted by well-dressed attendants who opened the massive, ornately carved doors, revealing the opulent interior beyond.
