She turned and she saw Bryan holding a ring with a mighty diamond rock on it.
'It was extremely beautiful,' Alexa thought. For a minute there you could say she forgot all about being with a man she did not love, or arrangement of any marriage to soothe any one's needs. She was speechless just looking at the giant rock on her finger. It was so sparkling that anyone from afar could notice it.
She looked at Bryan as he was placing it, he did it with such tenderness. She felt moved just by that but later she wandered if he was careful because of her tender hands or careful because this ring on her fingers were extremely expensive and could practically would have been able to pay her moms medical bills and even feed them for two years. All these were just playing inside her mind and then she could not help me but just smiled as she lifted up her hands to really see them. They were really beautiful that all she could say was...."Thank you Sir."
"You do not have to thank me, it is what we should have done and..." he paused as he saw her face and how lightened it was for the ring.
"Hmmm...hmmm." Bryan coughed out.."You are welcome. This will no doubt convince NY grand parents that you are my wife."Bryan added.
********
They continued until they arrived at Bryan's house.
A man came and opened the door and stretched out his hands toward the lady Alexa and she held him and smiled and got out from the air conditioned Chevrolet in a white dress.
"Thank you Sir." Alexa said to the man who helped her out of the car.
"My pleasure ma'am." He replied.
Bryan got out of the car and buttoned his suit.
The driver took his bag and other documents folders in the car, while another man came after being beckoned by the driver, he came to help with Alexa's bag. The driver instructed him to take it upstairs to the Masters bedroom.
"This way Alexa." Bryan ushered Alexa inside his house which is now going to be her new home.
As she entered the house, she was marveled at how huge it was inside. The hallways into the living room had two huge golden Chandeliers. The rugs were red and blue and they were so thick that Alexa could feel her heels burying inside them. The whole place smelt really nice..'what nice fragrance, 'it smells like a palace,' she thought to herself. Not that she has gone to any palace for real, but this was definitely a palace to Alexa.
Bryan walked side by side with her opening each door leading to various areas in the house and Alexa could not say anything, all she did was nod in agreement to her mind that was telling her she was in a palace.
He showed her the dining table. It had lots of seats as if he was planning to ask the entire neighbourhood for a drink someday. It was really beautiful and huge. He also shows her the three living sitting rooms and his study, the library, the sitting Punch, the poolside.
Oh the poolside was a site to truly behold.
If not that Alexa was trying to act matured and orderly in front of Bryan she could have fainted in awe of the size of his pool.
It had layers and a section had two dolphins entangled together spitting out water from their mouth.
The water was so blue. She admired the pool so much that she forgot that she was not really a good swimmer but still it was definitely a pool to swim in.
As Bryan took her around his gigantic lovely home, Alexa thought of her mom and her brother and wished, really wished that they all could live here with her, under a different circumstance that is.
Down the hall way, Alexa noticed a room having this beautiful golden door, from all the doors in the house it was the most beautiful door and as she and Bryan approached it, she felt that yeah....it was...
"This is our room." Bryan interrupted her mind drama.
"We will stay here together. I know you would have wanted a different room or something of the sort but we have to really look like a couple. I do not want the eyes and ears in this house to see and say stuffs to you know who." Bryan explained to Alexa.
She was shaking as soon as she heard she will be sleeping inside the same room as not just only her contract husband but her real life boss man. She really tried to control her face and the fear it automatically had.
"The maids will soon come in and help you settle in properly. They will help you keep your luggage and I guess show you your closet and all those stuffs. But basically whatever you need just ask them and you will be attended to." Bryan assured her.
She still stood looking at the entire room. The bed was a king size bed that could contain herself and Bryna and also add her family to it and they all will sleep well. The sheets were pure white and had a fine red Velvet duvet folded exactly half of the bed. The bed had golden lamp stands at the side and also a chandelier was in the room and it was more beautiful than the ones she saw at the hallways.
As she stood staring at the ceiling and also the bed she turned around to ask Bryan a question.
As soon as she turned she saw him taking off his tuxedo gradually and he was interrupted by a call.
"Yes!! speak." Bryan authoritatively answered the person.
"Ok tell them I will be there in thirty minutes." the call ended and Bryan turned and noticed Alexa looking at him.
She coughed and with a shy she looked away.
"You should freshen up, today has been hectic for you as well." he said while pulling his shirt now.
