The Steward
Rebecca and I drove up the long gravel way until it crested a small ridge and our new home came into view. She sucked in her breath, shocked by the magnificence of the old mansion.
"I haven't been here in thirty years. Nothing's changed."
She squeezed my hand, in excitement or perhaps disbelief. The estate belonged to my grandfather, then my uncle, and now me, a string of unfortunate deaths leaving me the only heir.
My anticipation ceased when I saw Bidwell waiting to greet us.
"What's wrong?"
"The steward. He died in the same accident that killed my uncle."
