"We're here, miss," her driver turned to her as he spoke. When someone opened the door for her, she got off the car dressed like a young, pure princess in white.
She looked around and was amazed by how beautiful the place was. It basically looked like it was a gray mini mansion in a large garden. Though one thing was strange, she saw no flowering plants around. Everything was so green and fresh but still, something seemed off.
Davi turned her head and skimmed through the whole place once again and she frowned the moment she found what was wrong.
Her brows furrowed with the fact that there were just two colors around, dark green and dark gray. Davi was mystified but she saw the bodyguard, Mr. Chen, approaching her along with an honorable looking old man in his seventies, so she immediately shifted her attention to them.
"Miss, please allow me to introduce this house's butler. This is Mr. Gou. You can ask him for whatever you need."
Er, so he's a butler? Davi wasn't sure how to react so she bowed at him as a sign of respect to the elder and the two men's eyes suddenly widened.
"No, no. Please don't do that, Miss. The precious wife of our young master shouldn't bow to a mere butler like me." The old man looked very apologetic while Davi didn't know whether she was supposed to laugh or cry.
"By the way Miss, the young master, I mean, your husband will be here soon." Mr Chen told her before he asked the butler to take her on a tour around the house while waiting for the boss.
Davi still looked calm but for some reason, she felt so nervous the moment she heard her husband was coming. The butler was showing her around but her mind was wandering. She was thinking about a lot of things. She was thinking about her husband. She was thinking why he didn't want her to see his face. She was thinking why his people didn't tell her anything about him, not even his name.
Her mind was filled with questions. When she realized that they were already back to the wide, luxurious yet dull looking, living room where they started a while ago she breathed deep.
"Okay Miss, my job is done here. I'm now going back---"
"Huh? Where? You're going to leave me here alone?"
"Haha, please don't worry, young miss. The butlers and maids in this house are just meters away from here. You can always call us if you need something. Besides, the young master is almost here, so I need to leave now."
The butler gave her a warm smile and left right away. Davi was left alone in the wide, silent and dull living room. She looked around and saw nothing. Not a single photo was hanging on the spacious walls, nor were there flowers on top of the empty tables. After a single glance, Davi felt nothing but emptiness in this luxurious, gray house. The sad empty feeling was just too strong that Davi subconsciously hugged herself as she stared at the hanging silver colored chandelier.
"Is it cold?"
A deep voice suddenly echoed inside the house and instantly made Davi's nerves seem paralyzed for a moment. She didn't know why but she suddenly felt chilled upon hearing his voice.
And then, she heard his faint steps getting closer, causing her to force herself to turn and face him.
"N-nope… I'm just…" Davi couldn't continue speaking. She was suddenly tongue tied upon seeing the man in front of her.
M-m-masked?
Her eyes almost bulged out. A tall man in a black tailored suit, which perfectly showed his faultless body shape, was standing in front of her… wearing a black mask covering his upper face. Davi's mouth slightly opened subconsciously as she stared at him. She couldn't believe that this man, whose whole face she couldn't even see, still looked oh so gorgeous. Even though she could only see half of his face, she just could not stop feeling charmed by his seemingly hidden ethereal beauty. He looked like a mysteriously gorgeous masked prince in a masquerade party intended only for demigods.
"W-who are you?" Davi forced her stunned self to talk.
"Your husband." The man replied with his same slightly deep and sexy voice. However, his short reply 'your husband', was enough to cause chaos inside her. Davi's emotions had gone wild, contradicting one another, that she didn't know what she was feeling at this very moment anymore.
