The Governor's mansion, also known as the State White House, was a grandiose structure that stood tall and proud in the heart of City Z. The mansion's facade was a masterful blend of neoclassical and modern elements, with towering columns, sweeping arches, and intricately carved stonework. The building's exterior was a warm, honey-colored stone that seemed to glow in the soft light of the setting sun.
As Mark stepped out of his car and onto the winding driveway, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer scale and majesty of the mansion. He had grown up within these walls, but he never failed to be impressed by the grandeur of his family's home.
Mark walked up the steps and into the grand foyer, where he was greeted by the warm smile of his mother, Stella. She was a statuesque woman with piercing green eyes and raven-black hair, her beauty and poise undiminished by the passing years.
