A Heartless Brother

At the back of the mansion, was an open field that slopped down towards a glistening body of fresh water. The sights, sounds, and smells of nature provided the perfect backdrop for a peaceful gathering.

Amelia could feel a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the air filled her lungs, with a blend of wet earth, spices and wildflowers littered on the grassy field.

She explored the mapped-out section of the large circular grassy field which was organized like a family picnic arena. There were different mounted open tents, - acting as shade from the sun, gaming sections, outdoor chairs, picnic blankets and pillows, and a ground-mounted 201-inch television screen.

Servants dressed in black and white uniforms were seen moving around making finishing touches to the already perfect surroundings.

And by the south end was a man, dressed in a chef-like uniform, attending to an outdoor charcoal grill.
