Baldwin's Mansion

Author's POV

In this room, the Goths played a pivotal role, since it was inextricably linked to horror and the goth musical subculture, which loves all things dark. So, it isn't surprising that the most gothic interiors here are all black walls, esoteric decor, and low lighting. While ribbed vaults and sky-high spires was beyond.

Blaze , he tied his tie around his neck and stood in front of his walk-in closet mirror. As he walked back, he stared at the 1000 or more watches in front of what looked like a glass showcase. He took one gold plated watch and put it on his left wrist, then took the black blazer on one of the small sofas on his right, then left.

After entering the bedroom, he sat down at his bedside table, took the enrolment, and walked out the, getting out and ensuring that the door was securely locked. He paced toward the stairs with his secretary waiting outside. For Arthur it was impossible to enter the bedroom, because no one was allowed to do so, and why? Only Blaze knew that. Well, maybe he doesn't want anybody to see him so clearly. To know more about him.

Upon descending the stairs, his secretary informed him of his entire day's schedule. "Is Ms. Miller here?" he asked, completely disregarding his words, Arthur, his secretary checked his wrist watch, "No Boss, I don't think she's going to be late", he informed Blaze.

And he halted his steps, he headed back up the stairs, going up the stairs, walking through the corridors, and finally reaching his destination, he was standing in front of his father's bedroom door. He stood there for a few minutes and then turned the knob on to enter the room.

While standing beside his father, the look Blaze had in his eye reflected as if he felt some happiness watching his father lie lifelessly on the bed, his eyes were smiling but his lips did not show it.

He questioned Arthur "How's he doing?" Who stood just behind his boss and "Ms. Miller keeps checking on him. For now, he is doing well. I've heard he broke his skull, and that could be the main reason why he's still in bed." he continued, "The machines are keeping him alive, though."

In regards to Blaze, he stood there watching his father, it appeared that he was contemplating something, "Does Ms. Miller know about this?" he again questioned him, "Yes, she was the one who consulted Mr. Knight for him or we would not know about that skull there" Arthur explained.

"Why didn't she tell me about this?" It looked like he had more questions, especially concerning Savannah. "Maybe she forgot, she's stressed these days, or maybe you're not giving her the chance to tell you?" Arthur seemed was ready with the answer and Blaze turned himself to face his secretary "Set up a meeting with Savannah" and he walked out, leaving Arthur alone there.

Savannah's POV

I finally reached Baldwin's mansion around 11 a.m. Walking no longer like running through the large area coverage of entrance, I looked as though I was on a run. "Hold on, hold on," the same security guy who had helped me get inside the mansion on the first day said, and I finally stopped, breathing heavily.

"Why are you running?" He asked and I was out of breath, so I took some time to reply "I'm running late" regaining my breath, I replied, "It's fine Ms. Miller, you're not late, you can go at normal speed" He smiled before walking past me, and I followed his instructions and walked at normal speed. He sure was the sweetest there.

And here I'm, finally having the coffee of the day, it was quite hectic as compared to other days, the reason I was late here was again Theo's homeroom teacher haf called to come over at yhe school, she wanted to discuss something with me and once there I got to know that they're planning a show, a show for a kids there where they'll preparing little something from themselves and Theo was saying he would not do this, this year, so the homeroom teacher thought something might happend as he was saying these things, and finally having the biggest talk with my baby I got to know some kids there told him some not so good words, um about his father who is no longer with us, although Theo is strong but some sensitive things get to him like any usual person, and the participation was about they had to prepare something related to their family as father and mother but I'm a single parent, he has no father, so he got kind of discouraged. So talking some good words maf motivating him took enough time so I was late, but now that I'm finally sitting, I think I'm tired amd sleepy.

So to get rid of the sleepiness, I thought of exploring thie giant looking castle, which I was so curious about, well some things here made me want to explore this whole place and I remember what Mr. Baldwin said, I can explore the whole house without having to take permission from anyone, so I decided to do so and walked outside the room.

As I had never gone to the 3rd floor of this mansion, I decided to start my explore journey from there up.

Moving my legs, I went up the stairs to finally reach the beautiful third floor, it was the same as any Floor there, moving my legs further more my eyes caught something at the very end of this floor, it had a long corridor than on the first floor, I was curious so wanted to find out, pacing my went to that way and just as I was only a few steps closer to that end, "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?" Someone roared and it echoed through the whole mansion and I jumped in sudden fear and I turned back completely shocked and I saw a blonde man who was again in all black, black glasses on his eyes and a earpiece in his ears, "How did you get here?" Coming closer he questioned me "Who are you?" "Do you know the consequences!!" One after other he started yapping at me, it felt like I was being interrogated, suddenly he my wrist felt a harsh grip on them and he dragged him from there, "Leave my hand" I said to him but he doesn't seem to hear, as he dragged me through all the stairs down, I felt a sharp pain in my legs, I was wearing heels and I think it got through my legs, "I SAID FUCKING LEAVE" I roared my voice but again he didn't listen and continued dragging me, "I SAID LEAVE YOU BASTARD" And finally I freed my wrist from his harsh yet painful grip, it had turned red, "I'll say this only once, don't touch me again without my consent" and with that I existed the mansion. I had enough for the day, I won't accept that disrespect where I work, that man was sure psycho, I mean the least you could do is have a normal talk and understand, and I think he took advantage of no one available at that moment, I don't know where they all went but when he dragged me all the way down and when I walked outside the mansion no one was in sight. It felt everyone vanished.
