Unknown place

Present-day

My phone buzzed indicated that a message is been come

I freeze when I looked it's from that same unknown number

I opened it,
I hope you remember, that you have to meet me at an address I messaged you-- you are a well-wisher

I come towards the balcony, and looked out fresh wind touch my skin giving me goosebumps

I have to do this, for the sake of Aaron, I have to do this, but the problem is how will I meet that unknown man,
I mean Aaron never allowed me to go without security guards, they never leave me alone, but I have to find any other way to go out of the mansion

What will I do now, suddenly I remember him, my best friend Andrew, he is my other bestie from University, only he can help me, we did so many pranks in our college life, you know sticking funny stickers on the window of the principal's house, in the night, I smiled when I remember the time I spent with my best friend, he is expert when it comes to adventures things like this

But we lost touch, after college
But I have to contact him,
I pulled out my phone but damm I don't have his number

Wait, I can contact him through Instagram, great, why I didn't think about this before

I quickly pulled out my phone and open my Instagram and search for him

Finally, I found his id, he didn't change much, same blonde hair, black eyes
I quickly messaged him

"Hey Andy"

After some time his reply comes
"Cutie is that you" He recognizes me because only I call him Andy

"Yeah, give me your number I want to talk to you" I replied

After he gave me his number, I quickly called him

"Cutie, you know I want to kill you right now," He said to me

I chuckled "I am so sorry Andy, so much happened to me," I said

He sighed "okay how are you cutie, you got married to Aaron knight, how, I heard that he is a very ruthless, merciless, arrogant billionaire, " He asked me

"Andrew he is ruthless to those who will come in his path, plus don't talk about him like this, I don't like it," I said to him while my lips pressed into a white slash

"God, calm down cutie, you still not changed short-tempered," He said chuckling

"How do you know that I married to Aaron Knight," I asked while my eyebrows furrowing and then releasing

"Come on cutie, it's front headlines of newspapers, and top celebrity gossip magazines, everywhere," He said

"Andrew, I want to talk to you about something very important," I said and tell him the whole thing about that stranger calling me and telling me that he has something to tell me about my husband's safety

"Hmm, that's sounds suspicious cutie, I don't think so you should go there, I think you should tell Aaron about it," He said to me in a hard tone

"Andrew please, I can't tell Aaron, he tells me that he will give that information only to me, please Andrew try to understand, it's about my husband, you believe your bestie," I said to him and exhaling while the eyes lookup

I heard him sighing "Okay, I have a plan, but I still think cutie you should tell Aaron," He said but, told me plan anyway

After hearing up his plan, I felt my  adrenaline causing alertness, and after an hour, I saw Andrew come here disguised as a plumber
I go towards the living room, I can see outside, Collins and security guards are checking him,

After that, he comes inside in mansion and looked at me, waving lowly at me, I waved back at him

"Um, tap of my bathroom is not working, please check it," I said to him

Before Collins can follow us, I quickly said "um, Collins, I just shop a handbag from the store, can you go to the mall and take my parcel from there," I said to him and he obeyed me "Eternity, I will call Guard he will company this plumber," Collins said to me

"Yes, I will call him by myself you go before that store closes," I said to Collins and he goes, I felt Light-headedness and released my breath which I am holding God knows since how long

I and Andrew who is disguised as a plumber come into my room,

"Thank you so much, Andy, for helping me," I said to him with my dimpled smile

"Silly, don't you know there is no sorry no thanks in friendships," He said while giving me a side hug

"By the way how am I looking, cutie as a plumber," He said winking playfully and nudging me and we laughed together

"Okay, now let's work as per plan," I said to him and he nodded

"Here," He said to me while giving me extra pair of plumber cloths same like he is wearing 

I go towards my closet and change my clothes into that plumber clothes, and comes out,
"perfect, now I will go from the backward way of this mansion
Hidingly so that no one sees me
And you will go from the front main gate here take this bag of materials of the plumber," He said while giving me that bag

I nodded and put the cap
After Andrew successfully goes from backward without anyone noticing him, I go towards the living room, going out " I spot Collins is back after taking up my parcel, I feel bad to lie to him, he is a nice person, but I have to do this for Aaron

"Stop " I heard Collins said
My heart stopped he recognizes me, I stop but didn't turn around
"Did tap of Mrs. Knight's bathroom start working? " He asked and I nodded relief
That he didn't recognize me

I successfully come out of the mansion and spot my taxi which I hired is already waiting for me

I quickly sat up in the taxi and tell him the address, taxi driver seems confused when I told him that I want to go, it's an abandoned place in new York

When we reached there, I come down from the taxi, am give him his fare

The evening has already arrived, I go near that abandoned building

What terrified me the most was its isolation. I was alone... Exposed to an unknown edifice that stared at me in return. As I lifted my head to defy its substantial stare, something caught my eye. I had not observed now, as the infinitely long walls made it almost impossible to see: there was no ceiling. Where had it gone? This question made me less afraid of the building and more curious as to what had happened to it.
I walked towards the entrance door. From there, the whole structure appeared to be monstrously massive. I truly thought the feeling of inferiority would cease when I entered the building. It did not. From the inside, it looked as big as ever before, for there were no floors or ceiling. Four endless walls and a staircase leading to the cold foggy sky. It was almost as if it were a message, telling me that it was all over... but was it?
The dust, cobwebs, and graffitis on the walls and corners brought me back to reality. I was not the first to experience this unwelcoming, macabre pile of bricks. But yet the remains of furniture that lay disorderly cluttered on the floor reminded me of death, for this had once been the home of many happy lives and therefore full of life itself. And it was all gone. replaced by rats, spiders, and their cobwebs, dirt, dust, fleece, and trash. And trash. How sad, it was ripped, dismantled, and stained. Abandoned...
Newspapers that gave the date of a hundred years ago - barely, for they were covered in dust. Boxes that read "FRAGILE" where one could identify broken pieces of jars, plates, and glass. There were no answers in there, simply the smell of rot, the sound of creaking, the touch of a rough surface, the sight of a horror scene, and the taste of regurgitated food. For I felt I would certainly throw up. It was too much for me to bear.
As the cold wind rushed against my face, I quickly come out fro that abandoned building

"Sweetheart," I heard that stranger's voice making me flinch and taking some steps backward.
