My Darkest Dream

What to believe

We waited for him in the guest room as we gaped at the interiors of his house...seriously it was so well maintained...that it looked like a museum...
"Hello there, hope you like my house.." Said a trailing manly voice which of course was of Mr Fernandez.
"Yes of course Mr.Fernandez , we loved your house."

"Hahaha...so sweet of you.. But I think I hardly know you.."
"Ohh I am Chloe and he is Celeb, we took all the pain to come here...as we liked your house in the countryside forest of New York so if you could..." But before I could finish he cut me off.

"Dear children, that mansion is freaking old and has deep secrets in it...don't even dare to infiltrate it."

"But sir, we seriously liked it's infrastructure and architecture...Please just help us to have a look us it's interiors" said Celeb
But he seemed to get something and looked at us with a blank face. Then out of nowhere he said..
"Don't worry, your friend will be alright...I help you to get her back."

And we stood dumbfounded with our jaws touching the floor.
"How come..." I stuttered
"You are not the first, this is the third time she is sending people like you to me..just to get me back.
Don't believe her. She is leading you both to the wrong path. She was never my wife. Grace was my one and only wife. But Dorothy was my best friend..I never knew that she had feelings for me." He stopped and gave out a sigh and continued
"When she came to know that I loved Grace , she tried to push her from the top of the balcony...but as luck would have it ,she herself fell down and died. Before she died she cursed me and said that she would come back to hunt me down.
After a few years of our marriage, we witnessed some unnatural happenings in the house, afterwards we came to know that she had cone back and she will never leave us to live in peace. She even tried to kill Grace. Soon afterwards we left the house."

I looked at him with wide eyes...whom to believe and whom to not...oh my god....what to do...???

But before I could process the whole situation, he said "Children, I have to make an end to this, and you have to help me."
His pleading eyes looked for assurance and deep somewhere I could feel he was not lying. Further, why would I choose a witch, who has captured my friend over a human being.
"But, how can we know that you are telling the truth?" said Celeb, breaking my eerie of thoughts.
"No, Celeb I think, I trust him. We'll help him." Said I.
"Alright then, we'll go back when the time comes, till then just stay here and make yourself comfortable"
He summoned his servants and told them to help us to our rooms.
So the next few days in this mansion. Great!
