Portrait
Rithika found herself standing before a grand wrought-iron gate adorned with intricate swirls and flowers.
The gate slowly swung open, revealing a winding driveway lined with ancient oak trees that seemed to stretch into infinity.
Anya Salvatore
"It's not that big, but I hope you like it."
As they drove deeper into the estate, Rithika couldn't help but gasp at the sight of Anya's mansion. It was a masterpiece of architecture, with sprawling gardens and a fountains.
The mansion itself stood proudly, a blend of classical elegance and modern luxury, its stone facade gleaming softly.
Anya parked the car in front of the entrance, and as Rithika stepped out, she was struck by the sheer size and beauty of the mansion.
Anya Salvatore
"Let's go inside rithika."
The front doors, tall and imposing, opened into a grand foyer adorned with marble floors and a crystal chandelier that cast shimmering reflections across the room.
Rithika
"Wow, Anya, your house is incredible"
Rithika exclaimed, her eyes wide with awe as she took in the opulence around her.
Anya chuckled softly, clearly accustomed to such reactions.
Anya Salvatore
"Wait until you see the rest"
She said, leading Rithika through the foyer and into a series of elegantly furnished rooms.
Each one seemed more luxurious than the last, filled with antique furniture, exquisite artwork, and plush carpets that invited barefoot exploration.
Rithika was mesmerized by the beauty of it all, but as they entered the gallery, something caught her attention—a large portrait hanging prominently on the wall.
Her gaze locked onto the painting of a strikingly handsome man. He had sharp features, dark hair swept back, and piercing eyes that seemed to follow her every move.
Rithika felt a strange sensation wash over her—an inexplicable pull that seemed to emanate from the portrait itself.
Rithika asked, unable to tear her eyes away from the painting.
Anya noticed Rithika's fascination and paused for a moment before replying.
Anya Salvatore
"Oh, that's my brother, Sebastian. He's... well, he's quite the character."
Rithika frowned, still captivated by the intensity of the man's gaze in the painting.
Rithika
"He looks... mysterious. Almost as if he has a story behind those eyes."
Anya Salvatore
"You could say that. Big bro has always been a bit of an enigma. He travels alot for business, and when he's here, he keeps to himself mostly."
Rithika nodded slowly, still processing the inexplicable allure she felt from the portrait.
Rithika
"There's just something about him... his aura is so dark yet so mesmerizing."
Anya Salvatore
"He does have that effect on people. Come on, let me show you the rest of the house."
As they continued their tour through the mansion, Rithika couldn't shake off the feeling that Sebastian's presence, even in his absence, loomed large over the estate.
She couldn't wait to meet him in person and unravel the mystery behind the handsome face in the portrait.
