The mansion was lit up from inside having a royalty vibes. Oil panting where hang on the huge white walls. Beautiful Sculpture looking magnificent. Pillars were having detailed carving creating a glamourour look.
Her shoes softly clicked on the marble floor.
Her eyes wondering around the high ceilings.
When they finally approached in front of a double door with Stephen guiding the way. Stephen knocked at the door.
"Come in". A sweet voice came from inside the room, welcoming them inside.
Pushing the door Stella entered behind Stephan.
"Stephen why did you come back? Did you forgot something?"
The girl sweet voice asked Stephen. The girl didn't notice Stella as Stephen had stood right in front of her blocking their sight from each other. He was 169 cm tall covering Stella's 165 cm height.
"No I didn't, I actually brought someone to meet you". Stephen said moving away.
A woman came into Stella's view. She was young having blonde wavy hairs flowing below her shoulder. Arched eyebrows and beautiful eyes with perfect lips. She was a head turner.
"Who is she?" The blonde hair women ask Stephen who was the least bother to explain.
"She is …..." Stephen looked at Stella scratching his forehead trying to remember her name.
'He can't even freaking remember a name. IS MY NAME SO HARD TO REMEMBER.'
"Stella" Stella replied.
"Stella, this is Ayla". Stephen said nonchalantly introducing them both.
Hearing this Ayla's eyes widen with surprise. A beaming smile appeared on her beautiful face which was like sunshine. She came forward where Stella stood and took hold of her hand in hers.
"Oh It's great to finally meet you, you came here earlier than I expected." Ayla stepped forward and hugged Stella which took her by surprise.
Stephen told Ayla that she had been assight by their uncle to look after Stella as they had to have to attend an important matter.
"Uncle have asked you to look after her as they have gone to meet Mr. Blaton". Stephen said.
Hearing this there was worry in Ayla's eyes.
"Ohh, we received the notice so early. Ufff, why is everything happening so unexpectedly lately?". Ayla said with a gloomy face, leaving a sigh at the end.
"I thought you were an imposter, you were lucky enough that uncle and aunty came on time or else you would have been swaped by my amazing sword", said Stephen boosting about his skills with a wide grin on his face.
Ayla: "Dork".
"WHOOO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING DORK…. can't you see this handsome face of mine" said Stephen who was triggered by Ayla's remark and took off his leave stomping his feets in anger.
Stella: "…."
'I thought he was an firm hunk but I guess everyone has a other side'
Stella then turned to Ayla .
"When will they be back?"
"They?" Not knowing who she was refering to Ayla asked with a confuse look.
"My mother and father". Stella said.
"Ohhh, uncle and aunty... they will be here anytime soon. As the matter is of importance it will take some time but as they know you are here they will be here as soon as its get over". Ayla said.
"Until then umm... Let me show you your room. You must be exhausted with the long journey till here". Ayla said changing the subject on which Stella said nothing.
Ayla brought her to a room not so far away from the room they just left.
Opening the double door of the room a beautiful room came into Stella's sight and the first thing that her eye caught was the balcony view.
Moving toward the balcony she opended the closed floor to celling glass windows and moved in.
The vast emerald green forest come into sight with the sound of lake rushing, the sound of insect chipring in moon light. Cold breeze hit her, making her shiver from head to toe.
"Its cold here at night so make sure to close the windows before you sleep". Ayla informed Stella from inside.
The night view presented in front of Stella was breath taking with a drop dead gorgeous reflection of the moon in the lake mesmerizing her. For a moment all sense of anxiety and fustration cage within her evaporated like water vapours in the night breeze.
Lifting her hand to her face Stella gently tuckle the hair behind her ears which has come loose on her face hindering her view.
Not so far away with the cool breeze moving.
A man stood in his balcony which was adjacent from Stella's but Stella stood a level above his balcony.
Enjoying the senery which was presented to him while holding a wine glass in his long fingers. Darren was staring at Stella whom he had already met yeaterday, who now was standing in her balcony. The same refined feature, her black hair swiftly moving with the wind. There was something different about this girl, keeping him captive in her.
Not knowing someone was looking at her, Stella was enjoying the movement as she spoted a small movement from a tree like someone was there. Narrowing her eyes to see more clearly, but it was to much dark with only the moon light to see anything clearly. A tiny spark was seen due the moon light falling on the object the person has on him from behind the tree.
Seeing Stella narrowing her eyes, Darren's eyes also leisurely followed the direction to where Stella was intensely looking at. He also notice there was shadow hidding to attack, but before he could do anything a sword comes from somewhere moving toward the shadow's direction.
Stella had subconsciously pulled out the small sword which was placed on the wall at the side near her and draws it at the direction where she noticed someone hidding near a tree.
Darren followed the direction where the sword had came from to only see Stella standing in the balcony with shocked filled in her big eyes.
But before he could observe her more Ayla comes from behind Stella with the same shocked expression as she also didn't expected to see something like this.
Ayla moving her eyes in every direction to see if anyone else had witness this and saw a person she didn't expect to see, Darren.
He was in his balcony looking at them. This means he had witnessed everything. Thinking this Ayla nodded in acknowlegemeant toward him and pulled Stella inside the room at lightning speed who was shocked with what just she did and Ayla closing the curtains shut after dragging Stella inside the room.
"What happen?". Stella asked mortified as she brought her hand up turning then back and front. She staired at her hand completely frozen not believing what she just did. It felt like her hand did not belong to her.
