Next I began to wonder what would happen to Bradon and his life now that Anthony was ready to reclaim his life back. Bradon might be less busy, which might be a good thing but sothing about him retreating back into the shadow of society made feel uncomfortable. The relationship between the two brothers was far from healed, but perhaps with more ti, their open wounds could heal themselves.
As for , I felt a shudder run down my spine as I thought of my future. Bradon ntioned before that he had sothing planned for us, but he still never got around to sharing with his plan. Evening had arrived again, and soon I knew that Bradon would return ho.
"My lady..."
Zain’s familiar voice snapped out of my thoughts and I realized that all I had been doing was sitting around idly in the living room as my thoughts consud . I hadn’t realized Zain’s presence until she was standing right in front of .
"What is it?" I asked.
The mansion felt empty and eerily quiet in a way that I couldn’t explain. Now that my senses were back, it felt like Zain and I were the only living souls in the large mansion. My eyes narrowed suspiciously as I wanted to hear what Zain had to say. Zain was silent for a mont as if he wasn’t sure what he was supposed to say.
"What is it? Did sothing happen?" I asked.
"I think...you should co and see for yourself," Zain said before bowing politely and gesturing to the doorway.
"What is going on? Is Bradon back?" I asked as I hurried past him.
Zain followed behind while keeping a respectable distance as I walked to the front door of the mansion. Sothing truly felt off because the guards that were normally on duty weren’t there. The entire place felt too quiet and too void of life.
"Where is everyone?" I asked as I turend my attention back to Zain.
The man had an empty expression on his face that gave away absolutely no answers and secrets. What greeted when I arrived in front of the mansion was pure darkness in its absolute form. What was normally as well-lit roadway and garden was shrouded in complete darkness. None of the lights were on and I could not see much beyond the mansion’s front door.
"What is going on? Why are the lights out? Is this blackout?" I demanded for answers.
I could not think of any other explanation as to why it was completely dark as far as my eyes could see. The sea of darkness that stretched out in front of only reminded that Bradon’s mansion was surrounded by a very large garden and also the forest. It was a ride to get from the front of his property to the mansion, and now all that space lacked lighting.
"Why are you suddenly so silent?" I asked, as I whirled around to face Zain.
Zain did not offer any answer, and his lack of response started to frustrate . I pulled out my mobile phone and called Bradon. I felt like he could tell what was going on and what I had to do. A blackout did not feel normal, and it didn’t explain why the mansion still had functioning electricity.
While my attention was focused on the call that refused to connect, suddenly a single light in the front driveway lit up. My attention was suddenly drawn to it and I moved the phone away from the side of my face. I was mildly surprise, but nothing could have prepared for what was to co.
I sucked in my breath and took a step back as the lights in the drive way lit up in succession one by one. Then it felt as if a symphony of light lit up all at once. So many golden decorative lights lit up all at once. Everything seed to co to life, just like the sudden break of dawn that ended the long and cold night. The garden and even the forest beyond lit up like a sea of golden light stretching as far as my eyes could see.
For a mont, I was stunned by the beauty of the sea of light in front of that I was speechless. My eyes widened and all of my worries and stress left as I stood there admiring the breathtakingly enchanting light in front of . I was speechless, but at the sa ti, it felt like there was nothing for to say. No word that I could think of could describe the intense feeling of amazent that rushed through my veins in that mont.
I never knew that living in the mont could feel so beautiful. The reason behind the unexpected display of light was still unknown to , but it didn’t seem to matter anymore. Everything faded away when all I could do was focus on the sparkling golden lights. Calm and peace took over , but it wasn’t too long before I spotted sothing moving in the distant.
"He’s back..." I murmured more to myself than to Zain.
My eyes narrowed when I spotted not one but multiple black limousine heading down the drive way towards where I was standing. It felt like I was watching a parade because all the cars were decorated with sparkling golden lights and flowers. I found myself smiling for no good reason at all. Just like a young girl watching a night parade at her favorite amusent park, I let myself enjoy the sight. Living in the mont without overthinking anything felt like more than enough.
I had no idea what was going on or what was going to happen. It also felt so pointless to even guess. One thing I knew for sure was that it was definitely Bradon’s doing. Once more, it seed like I was just another player in Bradon’s ga of mischief. Despite thinking that, I couldn’t stop smiling and I couldn’t deny that I was enjoying every single second of it.
