George watched as Frank walked away from him, shaking his head as he sat down in a chair facing the fireplace. He still couldn't believe the words of his servant, who dared to hallucinate in front of him. He intended to call Malcolm when morning came and ask about the origin of Frank, who had just started working in the castle. George was startled and his thoughts disappeared when he heard the bell ring once. His eyes were attacked by a strong drowsiness.
The wealthy man immediately got up and left the living room, heading to his bedroom. There, he saw his wife sleeping soundly. George lay down next to his wife, gazing at the woman he loved so much. He was very happy to marry a noblewoman who had been his childhood friend. Their parents had arranged their marriage when they both graduated from university, and now they had three children. That night, George couldn't close his eyes, even though his eyes were sleepy. His mind drifted back to the past, and he still remembered a very sad event that broke his heart.
At the age of seven, he witnessed his grandfather Roger being killed on the highway. He cried and called out to his lifeless grandfather, who was covered in blood after being hit by someone. George could still see the shadow of the perpetrator, dressed in all black and wearing a mask, passing by the scene and looking in his direction. He screamed and tried to ask the people around for help in chasing the car, but some of them failed to catch the culprit. Shortly after, one of the villagers kindly brought his grandfather's body home, and at that time, George's parents looked shocked and cried as they mourned Roger's departure.
However, it was not the same for Brenda, who appeared to be very strong in accepting the bitter reality. The death of her husband deeply affected her, and she could only bow her head and shed tears during the funeral. At that time, the Mathew Barkeley family arrived, including Marinda, who was then their closest family
Night is creeping towards the second day, George's eyes are still unable to close, he just stares at the wall of the house while continuing his memories of his childhood. It was then that he met Marinda, who was one year younger than him. The little girl invited him to talk when his heart was experiencing a great trauma. Marinda tried to strengthen herself, who couldn't forget the tragic event that happened so suddenly, and since then they became even closer. Especially after George's parents enrolled him in the same junior high school as Marinda, George's first love began to blossom.
Day after day, the two teenagers lived happily, learning and going through their teenage years beautifully until they entered adulthood. George's daydream was interrupted when he heard the howling of wolves in the Parvun forest. His heart, which was beating, seemed to want to stop, and now he heard the howling of the wolves inside his castle. George immediately got up from his bed and locked his door tightly, his face panicked and pale. Shortly after, the sound of the wolves echoed throughout the castle, startling all its inhabitants.
Marinda woke up and her face looked very surprised, then she looked at her husband with fear.
"What's wrong, my dear?" Marinda asked as she got up from her bed.
"It seems like the sound of wolves, my love," George answered as he got up from his bed.
"Damn it! If that animal is here, then we will all die!" Marinda exclaimed in panic.
"Try to calm yourself, I will investigate," George replied, trying to calm his wife.
The man walked to the door and opened it, then with long strides, he hurried to the living room. But when he arrived there, he didn't see any wolves, everything was still as it was before. George was just stunned, where he was now standing, many questions were reflected in his mind that were difficult to explain in words. Once again, he tried to look around the room, but there was still no significant change. Then, he returned to the room with a puzzled look on his face.
Marinda sat on the sofa, waiting for her husband with hope and anxiety, and shortly after, she heard quick footsteps and her husband entered the room with a gloomy face.
"What happened, my dear?" Miranda asked anxiously.
"There are no wolves in that room," George answered flatly as he sat on the bed.
"Then what does the howling mean?" Miranda asked, not understanding her husband's answer.
"I'm also puzzled by all of this," George replied, shrugging his shoulders.
"In that case, let's continue sleeping," Miranda said as she got up from her bed to lock the door.
George sighed deeply, he didn't understand the events experienced by his servants and himself. Finally, they fell into a deep sleep until morning came.
George woke up with a confused mind, then he looked to the side and saw Marinda still sleeping soundly. Shortly after, he got up from his bed and walked to his locked office.
This nobleman felt his way to his nightclothes pocket and took out the key, but after the door opened, he was very surprised to see a pile of money and gold bars on the table, there were so many. George quickly entered and locked his office, his heart pounding as he looked at the scene in front of him. Several times the same incident had happened in his office, and he didn't know who was doing this.
"I'm really amazed at how this can happen so often?" he wondered to himself as he looked at the money and gold.
Then he took all the items and stored them in the safe inside the room, locking it tightly. Although still confused, George's face showed overflowing joy and he imagined his wealth increasing since the wolf often visited his castle and he could rise from the poverty he had once suffered. In addition, he could help all the people in his village with all his wealth.
George kept all the events about the appearance of the mysterious money and gold secret from Miranda. He didn't want his beloved wife to be involved in something that was very impossible to explain. Then he returned to his room and saw his wife had woken up and was sitting on the bed, smiling at him.
"Where have you been, George?" Miranda asked as she got up from her bed and sat on the sofa.
"I just went around the garden and saw the beautiful morning view," George lied.
"Unfortunately, I woke up late," Miranda said.
"Next time we will go for a morning walk together, my love," George replied.
Not long after, George and Miranda left the room and went to the office to oversee the operation of their beverage company.
