"We're here." Matthew informed as the car carrying us came to a halt in front of a huge steel gate. The driver said something in the intercom, and the gate opened with a beeping sound. The ride started again through a paved road, around a stone carved water fountain and stopped. 

After Matthew hopped out, I followed behind, my jaw almost dropping to the floor. The huge four-storied white building looked like something out of the magazines. A mellowy fragrance seized my attention to the sides, neatly trimmed rose bushes ornated the garden around as the evening sky ablazed with the last rays of the setting sun casted a warm, orangish glow over it.

"I think I saw a fly flying in your mouth," Matt whispered, breaking me from my trance. 

I looked at him, my mouth still hanging open. "It's so beautiful," I gushed. 

He smiled. "Welcome to the Kings Mansion, Mrs. King!" 

The new name hit me in the gut like a punch, breaking my rapture and reminding me of the reality. No matter how beautiful this place was, the dwellers inside only reminded me of monsters from nightmares. 

On approaching the porch, a woman standing at the huge wooden double door, greeted us with a warm smile dwelling on her roundish freckled face.

"Welcome, ma'am." She stepped aside to let us in.

"Thank you." I frowned. Ma'am?

"I am Donna, head of the maids here." 

Oh.

"Please call me Ember," I said, returning her smile. She seemed like a nice lady. I didn't want her to call me ma'am since she was older than me. It felt weird.

I stepped inside and looked around. This time I tried my best not to let my mouth hang open and look crazy.

"Struggling sunshine?" Matthew whispered from behind earning a playful blow from my elbow. I smirked satisfied as a groan was heard. 

The spacious foyer consisted of two grand staircases with glass railings in the middle. A gorgeous chandelier hung from the ceiling. The marble tiled floor was so clear one could see their faces in it, and the white walls were a beautiful combination of dark golden and black decorations.

A bark pulled me out of my gawking trance. I turned my gaze to the direction the sound came from, and there were two Siberian huskies up on the steps.

Doggos! Waves of excitement rushed through my veins making all the worries vaporize. But my happiness died, and fear took over my heart as soon as those two started running towards me, barking. Closing my eyes I braced myself for a bite or something... but none came. 

"Buddies!" someone squealed, then came a thud. "Ouch!" 

I opened my eyes to see Matt on the floor with the dogs on top, licking him excitedly. Awh! I was relieved and jealous at the same time. I wanted doggos to love me like that too!

"Boomer! Doser! Didn't I just put you two to sleep?" Donna pulled them off of Matt. "They belong to young sir," she told me and called another maid to take them to their room. Young sir? Did she mean Hunter? 

The dogs didn't even look at me as they left. Now I was confirmed they belonged to Hunter. Like owner, like pets, and that stung.

That very moment I took another vow to befriend those fluffy fluffers one day.

"Come on, dear! The Kings family is waiting for you." Donna motioned another maid to take away my suitcases. After saying goodbyes to Matthew, I followed Donna down the hall. We entered a room where three people were sitting on a large sectional sofa talking, apart from Hunter, of course. 

"Ah, Ember, finally you are here. I have gotten tired of waiting." Mrs. King was the first one to talk upon seeing me. She waved her hand back and forth over her face even though goosebumps rose on my body from the cool atmosphere in the room, and the feline sitting on her lap gave out a lazy yawn. 

Dramatic much?

Let's just say fondness wasn't what I felt towards her since Mr. King introduced us.

"It's only been 5 minutes, Julie!" grandma retorted, glaring at her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, you should go to bed. It's late," Mr. King stepped in. "Ember, you must be tired. Go, get some rest. Donna will show you to your room." 

I nodded. That moment, no matter how much I disliked Mr. King, I couldn't be more thankful. Family meetings could wait till morning. Resting was the necessity of the moment. Boy, was I exhausted.

"Ember, please follow me." 

I climbed the flight of stairs after Donna. After reaching the second floor, we entered a spacious hallway with four doors situated on either side of it. 

"Aye, Ember!" 

I turned around to see grandma approaching me, her eyes holding a sparkle in them. I relaxed since she wasn't anything like Mrs. King.

"Yes, granny?"

"Granny?" Stopping, she inclined her head from side to side. "Who's granny? Do you see any granny here, Donna?" 

I eyed Donna, my mouth pursed, not fathoming what to say. Um...

"Karen, honey, call me Karen. I am far too young to be called a granny," She patted her imaginary muscles.

Realization hit me, and I bursted out laughing. "Right, sorry. My bad, Karen." 

She grabbed my hand and led me further down the hall. "I'm so glad there's a new female in this household. I have gotten so tired of this all-time-complaining plastic bitch. Now that you are here..." a grin appeared on her tanned face, "oh, we are gonna have so much fun!" 

A ray of sunshine peeked through the thick layer of cloud dangling over my head. I wasn't the only one who thought of Julia as a plastic. At least, someone was here I could get along with. "Yeah, we will get along just fine I can say." 

"Welcome to the Kings family!" she squealed, embracing me in a tight hug. As she pulled out, her lips were stretched from ear to ear, and she wished me goodnight, then left.

Donna opened the last door at the end of the hallway. "This is your room, dear." 

Entering, I drove my eyes about. It was just as beautiful as the rest of the house with the same color combination, a king-sized bed in the middle, and other furniture occupying around. It was like a palace with modern touches.

Donna gestured at the two other doors at the other side. "This one is the bathroom and this, the closet. Do you want me to send someone to unpack the bags now, or do you wanna do it in the morning?"  

I sent her a tight-lipped pout. "In the morning, please." 

"Sure." 

"When will Hunter be back?" I asked the dreaded question. I didn't know how I'd stay in the same room with him. 

"He is already home, in his room."

My brows puckered like a slept-in shirt. "We're staying in different rooms?"

"Er... well, dear, Hunter doesn't let anyone in his room." 

I nodded as a series of relief rippled through me. "I totally understand." 

"Rest now, dear. I'll wake you up in the morning before breakfast," saying that she left.

Glowering at the disappointed part of me, I sighed. Even though married couples were supposed to stay together in a room, I was happy I wouldn't have to. I couldn't be near a man who blackmailed me into marriage and had no sense of respect in him. 

Changing into my pajamas, I laid down on the bed, the muscles in every corner of my body hurt from exhaustion. A sigh left my mouth as my mind wandered back to my old room. It was small yet welcoming and comfortable unlike this room, it was too big and lonely. A tug at my heart reminded me of my parents. Closing my eyes, I let a tear roll down my cheek as my mother's angelic face surfaced in my mind's eye. I missed them already. Suddenly a pair of piercing sea-green orbs replaced my mother's soft blue ones making my eyes snap open. No. Why was I thinking of him? He is an insufferable bastard who deserves a kick in the shin. He...he... Soon my eyelids started drooping, and I lost into darkness.

***

"Ma'am, wake up! Ma'am! You'll be late for breakfast. Please, wake up!" A soft voice lightly shook my body.

I groaned. "A lil more, momh..."

"Ma'am, wake up, please." Ma'am? I opened my eyes and winced. The bright light peeking through the curtains almost blinded me. I sat up, shielding my eyes with the blanket. A blue-eyed blonde stood by the bed, her eyes widened and lips parted. 

"Ah... ma'am, it's 7:15. Y-you've to be at the breakfast table by 8," she informed and scurried away before I could ask for her name. Weird! What was she so scared of?

I stretched, did my five-minutes yoga poses in bed and got up. Entering the bathroom, I took my brush and looked in the mirror. 

A yelp left my mouth as the brush in my hand went flying to the mirror.

There was a ghost in the mirror, mimicking my actions.

What the! Squinting my eyes, I lifted my hand and touched my cheek. Another yelp left my mouth.

The ghost is me.

Last night I was too tired to take a shower or even wash the make-up off. Now I looked like a horrific ghost with the eyeliner smeared around my eyes and red lipstick smudged around my lips. Don't even get me started on my crow nest of a hair. 

Fantastic! Now that will take time. 

After showering, I got out of the bathroom and got dressed. I curled my hair in an inhuman speed and looked at the clock.

7:59 am. 

Shit! I am late. 

Descending the stairs, I ran through the hallway when a wall appeared on my way, knocking me on the floor. I groaned, looking up and rubbing my forehead. Hunter stood there with his default frown set between his brows. 

"Watch where you're going," he snapped, walking past me. 

I glared at his back. What crawled up his ass and died in the morning?

After asking a maid, I found the dining room. It was huge with a majestic-looking dining table in the middle, two crystal chandeliers hanging above it. In one of the walls hung a sophisticated painting in golden frames. Through the large window occupying the south wall, I could get a beautiful view of the flower garden outside. The two head chairs on each end of the table were occupied by Mr. senior asshole and Mr. junior asshole. Everyone already started eating. Hearing me approach they looked up, making my stomach churn at the attention. 

"Late as always, Ember." Julia stabbed her food with a fork, her fake platinum blonde hair falling freely around her gorgeous heart-shaped face. She could be a model and would be in my favorite's list, only if she didn't have such a witchy attitude.

I mumbled a sorry and sat beside Karen.

"Oh, let it be, Julie. It's her first day here. On your first day you weren't even on the table until twelve," Karen jeered. 

I bit my lip to stop the laughter from coming out. Had I said that Karen was the coolest grandma ever?

"Good morning, Ember." As always Mr. King stepped in before an atom blasted in the dining room.

"Good morning," I said politely. 

Donna wished me morning and served breakfast. Mumbling a thanks I dug in, my stomach growling from hunger. The whole time Hunter didn't even bother looking up while I kept stealing glances of him.

"After breakfast Donna will give you a tour of the Mansion, Ember," Mr. King announced, sipping on his juice.

I nodded, my mouth curving into a smile. That sounded fun.

***

My eyes almost bulged out and mouth hung open, again. I squealed, standing in the middle of the library, taking in the look of absolute heaven. The room itself was larger than the one back in my college. Every inch of the walls were occupied with glazing wooden shelves and in those, from top to bottom were organized various books with colorful covers. My fingers itched to grab the books and lock myself in the room till each and every page had been turned.

I had set on an adventure to explore the mansion with Bella, the girl who woke me up in the morning. Donna was busy with work for which she introduced me to her. Bella was my age and seemed quite nice. So, we got along pretty well.

"Ember, wanna check out the roof? The view from there is something to die for."

Yes!" I exclaimed with joy. The adventure of the Kings Mansion had me jumping up and down like a kid. I had discovered two big indoor and outdoor pools, a gaming room, music room, home theater with its own popcorn machine, private gym, salon with a spa, and so much more I had yet to explore. You could walk the whole day, and still the journey wouldn't end.

Our footsteps bounced on the tiled ground as we padded through the fourth floor of the mansion, giggling at silly jokes I learned from my dad. I was in an excellent mood. Something blueish passed by my peripheral vision halting me on my heels. Taking two steps back, I found myself in front of a beautiful blue door with delicate golden patterns adorning it. My hand went forward and twisted the knob. 

Locked. 

"Oh, no, no, Ember! Let's go from here. It's a forbidden zone." Bella started tugging me away from the door.

"What?" I frowned.

"Yes, no one's allowed near that door. Even the Kings don't open it." 

"Why? What's behind it?" My curiosity perked high above the clouds. A mysterious door in the King's mansion?

"No one knows. Well, except the Kings, of course. But they never talk about it... Oh, look! We're here. Isn't the view wonderful from up here?" 

I nodded not knowing when we reached the rooftop, for my mind was somewhere else, stuck at a certain blue door. 

What secrets are you hiding behind that door, Kings?

    "Julia ma'am doesn't like the name Julie, yet Karen ma'am keeps calling her that," Bella said, her dainty build shaking from laughter along with mine as she shared the two women's battle tale. "Karen's a savage!" I commented, somewhat proud at her boldness even at this age. "They're always ripping each other's hair, and poor Mr. King, sir gets crushed between them. It's so funny to watch." My smile tightened at the mention of Mr. King. "Yeah." Poor, my foot! Bella was helping me unload my suitcases and arrange the clothes in the closet. The war between Julia and Karen was certainly hilarious to watch as per Bella stated. I shouldn't be praying so, but I very much looked forward to witnessing more of that comedy war. My eyes darted to her as something else crossed my mind. "Tell me about Hunter." The weather of the room d

Oh no!"Yes, ma'am."As if time slowed down, with every step Donna took, Hunter's smirk broadened, and my eyes widened. She placed the bowl in front of Julia and uncovered the lid.Like the earth on a sunny day, Julia's face lit up as she shoved a spoonful of mousse in her mouth. "Mhm... Donna, did we change the cook or something? How did his boring mousse get so good today?"I let out the breath I was holding. Phew! She liked my recipe.

    Yesterday was a hectic day. I called Ana later at night to check on her. She was alright. Matt called her twice since the incident which was really sweet of him. I was more than glad for what he did for Ana. If anything was to happen to her, I wouldn't be able to live. She was my sister more than she was my friend along with Beth. Since our childhood, we had been facing everything good and bad together. Once when we were in kindergarten, Ana stood up to my bullies for me even though she was the most sensitive and sweetest girl in the school. That day I knew I couldn't be weak anymore. I had to be strong. She was the reason I could look people in the eyes now without cowering away.Today I decided to explore the library.

    The creepy bald man from the party was walking right to the direction of the elevator. Why was he here? What did he have to do with Hunter? Could he...? Did Hunter...? Oh, God!! A swirl of questions flooded my head as I pushed on the first floor button, praying he wouldn't notice. But since fate wasn't working in my favor lately, his eyes landed on me, and his feet padded faster.Oh, no, no, no!My breath got caught in my throat, and my heart felt like jumping out of my mouth. I kept pushing on the button until a ding reached my ear. A sigh of relief almost left my mouth when a foot stepped in-between the closing doors, blocking the process.Oh hell, no! Not today!He stepped in the doorway, and my hands balled into fists.

    Warmth tagged my face, and I opened my eyes to a squint only to shut them back as a ray of sunlight, peeking through the white curtains, shone on my face. Groaning, I pulled the blanket over my head and turned around.I almost faded to the paradise called sleep when a blaring siren erupted in my room, and the bed trembled beneath me. Panicked, I jumped and landed on the floor, tangled in the blanket. My hands shot to my ears, saving my brains from bursting from the hammering noise. What was going on? Was the world coming to an end? I started looking around frantically when my eyes landed on the small black object lying on my bedside table. Frowning, I proceeded to touch it, but my hand froze in midair.What if it was a bomb?“Eek...” Letting out a yelp, I jumped a few steps away. Oh my God! Who would want to kill me?

    A warm, buttery aroma with a splash of citrus wafted through my nose as we smeared icing and wrapped edible sheets around the four-story cake, topping it up with esculent red laces, rose petals, and finally a cute pair of tiny bride and groom. Proud we stepped back and observed the masterpiece we two expert ladies made. "It's perfect," I gushed, glancing at my mom and bursting out in laughter as traces of shortening decorated her rosy cheeks giving her a look of a curious kid. "You got some..." I pointed at her face cackling more. "You should see your face, darling," she smugged. Widening my eyes I turned back observing myself in the glass door that separated the kitchen from the shop and gasped as bits of the white coating laced my nose as well. As I looked back both our frames shook from mirth and fueling it appeared dad showered in cake mix.

It'd been three weeks, and my mind was already going bananas."Yes. Please, take me home already."The corners of his lips slightly raised in his rare smile as he extended his hands. Taking them I carefully alighted my legs as my feet touched the cold floor and propped on them. A faint ache still gnawed at the spot, but the feeling of elation dominated all."Are you sure you can walk?"Flashing my overprotective hubby with a hearty smile I got on my tippi-toes and planted a peck on his warm lips. "I can. Now let's go."Immediately he leaned down pressing his lips back on mine in a lingering kiss as a warm fe

    Everything seemed to slow down as I watched the spark alighting off the tiny muzzle hole, smoke arising after it, and like a wave of energy it hit me throwing me off my feet as I flew some inches behind, my body colliding into a hard yet warm one. Two protective arms wrapped around me lowering my body to the ground."Ember..." his deep alarmed voice reached my ears, and I glanced at his pained gaze growing anxious. Did the bullet hit him? I was sure it didn't hit me for I felt no piercing pain like a tiny metal tearing through the flesh but numb. All I felt was numb down in the torso.My eyes traveled forward where the pretty redhead officer had Vienna pinned as she struggled. And then my gaze fell on my tummy, the white top painted into a new color. Red, and it was spreading. A burning sensation began to rise in the spot though I wasn't sure if it was from my imagination or from...

    "Ember, darling. Now what shall we do with you? I can't simply allow my brother to have any means of happiness in his life." He glanced up brooding, a finger tapping his lip. "Oh wait, I know." He strode closer to Hunter and leaned down. "How about I give you a demo of how I dispatched our mother, huh little brother? Hmm... That'll be fun.""Wh-What do you mean?" Gulping I glanced at Hunter who looked like he was lost in his own world and wasn't coming back anytime sooner."Come on, boys. Bring her here.""Nonono. Hunter! Ah, noo! Hunter!" I screamed and thrashed against their hold but in vain as they dragged me towards the steep hill. I dug my toes in the soil in an attempt to obstruct them yet luck didn't support me, and the guards pushed me right on Christian's arms.The pure disdain that ran through my veins against him, scorched the skin

    My senses began to sharpen, and whispers tingled my ears. My eyes fluttered open only to shut back from a blinding light. A groan left my mouth as my head felt heavy like it was made of concrete. I lifted my hand up but nothing happened. I tried again yet it didn't budge from behind me. What was going on? Ignoring the shooting ache in my head and body, I frantically surveyed my circumambient, my vision blurry. From the look of it, I was bound to a chair in the same room I fainted, this time a bulb above me illuminated my surroundings better. Patches of blood stains occupied the roof and the walls, and a sharp metallic stench hit my nose causing a bile to rise. I didn't even wanna think about what happened here before. Wait... "Caleb!" "E-Ember, a-are you ok?" My head whipped to the direction, at the far dark corner.

He even took me to a minikin ice cream date.Right now we sat outside an ice skating rink which he rented for the day just for us, and I decided to ruin his plan by inviting Liliana, Matt, Beth and Lea which he wasn't much pleased about. Therefore he sat there with a grouchy face while I enjoyed the fanciful skating session of the charming couples.Beth and Lea just skated around, hand in hand while holding Ana's hand, Matt spun her around like a pro. Then holding her from behind he lifted her and spun himself, Ana doing a perfect landing at the end with his support.

    Stepping out of the building I marched to him stopping a couple feet away. Hunter straightened up, and the crowd parted as he strode towards me, my breathing hitching at my throat. His suit which I had been considering as his second skin all this time was gone and replaced with a V neck white shirt topped with a dark leather jacket and denim jeans."I'm glad you came." He lifted my hand to his lips and placed a kiss on the back."I hope I don't regret it," I said as lights flashed around us and people whispered but nothing bothered me for the heart drumming against my chest sounded louder.The corners of his rosy lips quirked up into a smile. Not a ghost of a smile nor an arrogant smirk but an actual genuine smile even though tiny which just made him a thousand times hotter than before. "I assure you won't. Come."
