Melanie didn’t let it show in front of the twins that she was marveled at what she saw. The house she was in was too beautiful to be real.
‘‘Should I call you Melanie or sis?’’ Elle asked as she settled on a couch, pulling Melanie to sit beside her.
‘‘Melanie is fine,’’ Melanie smiled.
‘‘Okay, what would you like to eat?’’ Elle asked.
‘‘I’m okay, Elle,’’ Melanie replied.
‘‘Well, I’m not accepting that, sister-in-law. Elle smiled.
‘‘Mrs. Mary!’’ Elle shouted the maid’s name who ran towards her almost immediately.
‘‘Get the rest,’’ Elle ordered.
Fifteen workers rushed in a few seconds after Mrs. Mary had left.
‘‘You all should listen to what I’m about to say attentively, this is my brother's fiance, so, you all should treat her well. You know what will happen if you ever offend her, right?’’
Elle asked, and they all nodded in unison.
Who would want to cross Flynn Harlan’s favorite person in the world?
“I want you guys to prepare something very delicious for the future Mrs. Harlan,’’ Elle said.
‘‘You’re being too bossy! These people are just going to hate you unnecessarily,’’ Kyle hit Elle at the back of her head.
‘‘Who cares if they hate me?’’ Elle rolled her eyes.
‘‘I don’t know if you will have a room or not so I’m going to take you to Flynn’s room,’’ Elle faced Melanie.
‘‘You can just give me a new room. I don’t have a problem with it,’’ Melanie said, trying to convince Elle.
‘‘No, sister-in-law, I will take you to Flynn’s room,'' Elle smiled and stood up pulling Melanie with her.
Melanie could not believe what she was seeing, as she trailed after Elle, she couldn't help but feel she was in a royal home. This house was too beautiful to be real. Melanie walked past many doors and wondered where exactly Flynn's room would be.
''We have twenty guest rooms and this is the guest quarters. Kyle's room and mine are over there'' Elle said pointing at a corridor then, headed towards another staircase.
Melanie nodded her head in awe, twenty guest rooms? Wow.
As soon as they ascended the stairs, Melanie was astonished at what she saw again. Before she was a living room decorated like a royal house. The room she was in was very big like the one downstairs.
''As you can see, this part is singled out from the mansion. This is Flynn's Domain, he doesn't like being disturbed so he is the only one staying here,'' Elle explained.
Melanie shook her head at what Elle said, then looked around the living room.
''There are five rooms here, I guess Flynn is also planning for the future. Your kids will occupy the other rooms and you will be with Flynn in a room, how sweet,'' Elle giggled hitting Melanie playfully.
Kids? Oh please.
Melanie scoffed inwardly.
Elle led her to Flynn's room and said, ''I'll be waiting for you downstairs, Lanie. Look around and come downstairs when you are through.''
Melanie nodded her head and watched Elle as she left the room. Melanie took her time to Marvel at Flynn's room.
She rushed towards the bed and sat on it, with a smile spread across her face.
The room was very big and could contain four of her room at home. Melanie loved the texture of the room. Her gaze caught the portrait of Flynn hung carefully on the wall and walked towards it
''This portrait fits your personality so much,'' Melanie rolled her eyes.
How could someone not smile one bit even when taking pictures?
What a boring person.

Flynn was sorting some paper works in his office when his cell phone rang. He hissed as soon as he saw the caller, why was this woman calling him now?
''Yes?''
''Is that how to greet someone you haven't seen in a while? I'm at the reception and your receptionist won't let me in,'' The woman said.
''What are you doing here, Camila?'' Flynn asked through gritted teeth.
''Would you at least let me in before I cause a scene here, you know I'm very good at that,'' Camila said, and Flynn imagined the smirk on her face.
Flynn ended the call and grabbed the intercom on the table and passed a message to the receptionist to let Camila on.
A few minutes later, a young woman appeared in a black dress and red lipstick which made her look very charming and seductive.
Flynn stood up and walked towards the woman and scanned her body then turned his gaze to her eyes.
''What the hell are you doing here, Camila. I thought I told you never to come here,'' Flynn said.
''Well, what was I supposed to do, you refused to pick my call and you didn't call me either. What was that rubbish I saw on the television!? You are getting married!?'' Camila shouted.
''What is wrong with that?'' Flynn asked.
''What is wrong with that? What of me? Did you plan on making me your fvck mate for the rest of my life?'' Camilla questioned, obviously angry.
''You and I never talked about marriage, Camila and you know that. You're my Lil b!tch and I think you know that already,'' Flynn replied.
''Seriously, Flynn? I thought we had a thing!'' Camila screamed.
''Stop dreaming too far, girl. Shall we meet at our usual place later tonight?'' Flynn asked as he cupped her butt with his left hand.
''This is very unfair, Flynn!'' Camila said and walk towards the door.
''I'll be waiting for you, Flynn,'' Camila said seductively then turned the knob of the door and walked outside.
Flynn shook his head at Camila's shamelessness and headed back to his seat.
Camila Hayes entered her car angrily and ordered her driver to drive the car.
How could Flynn do this to her?
They've been together for almost five years and this is how he could repay her.
Even when he was almost a shadow of himself five years ago, she was always with him, cheering him up in every way she could, and now he wants to get married to that little girl?
That's very thoughtful of you, Flynn!
Camila grabbed her phone and dialed a number.
''I want you to find me everything about that Melanie Tatum, in twenty-four hours!'' She said and ended the call.
She needs to know who her enemy was before she starts a fight, right?
