Alexander Blackwood: shivers Did you hear that creaaaaaak? This place is so spooky, huh?!
puts his arm around musefall It's funny how we're here together. Our lives took such different paths, yet fate brought us back to this mansion.
Hm… How did such a nice person end up living with the Blackwoods?
chuckles softly Well, it's a long story. But let me tell you, it wasn't exactly a walk in the park.
So you’re the famous Blackwood heir?
raises an eyebrow "Famous"? That's a bit of an overstatement. Let's just say I have a certain... unique background. But enough about me.
laughs I’d love to hear your story.
smiles Alright, then settle in. This is going to be one hell of a tale. It all started when I was just a kid...
takes a deep breath It all started when I was just a kid. My parents passed away in a tragic accident, leaving me alone.
pauses, his eyes reflecting pain Thank you, but it's nothing. At that point, I didn't really have anywhere to go.
You didn’t want to go to your relatives?
shakes his head No, I couldn't bring myself to live with strangers. I was scared of being rejected again. So, I decided to find a place of my own.
leans forward, his eyes filled with determination I used my savings to buy an old mansion in the countryside. It was a wreck, but I saw potential in it.
I bet you turned it into a home?
nods Yeah, I did. I hired some carpenters and decorators to help me fix it up. It took months, but eventually, it became a cozy little place.
leans back, a hint of sadness in his voice Time passed, and I tried to move on with my life.
Did you ever marry or have children?
sighs deeply I actually got married once, but it didn't work out. We weren't meant to be. And I never had kids.
looks down, fidgeting with his hands Well, after my first marriage ended, I felt lost. I wanted to have someone by my side again, someone to share my life with.
Was the same problem in your second marriage?
gazes directly at musefall, his voice filled with sincerity To be honest, yes.
Are you happy with how your life turned out?
pauses, reflecting on his life Honestly, I've had my ups and downs. There have been moments of joy and despair, but overall, I'm content with where I am.
sighs heavily Oh, the regrets. They're endless. If only I could go back in time, I would have done things differently.
How do you feel now, knowing what you know?
leans forward, his eyes intense I regret not following my dreams earlier. I let fear hold me back, and it cost me dearly.
