Chapter 9 - Imperial suit 2

On the left and right side are hallways with marble floor on both sides, and on the edge was the glass railing that kept the danger of falling down into the living room low. You could also see 3 doors on both sides; these were the guest bedrooms, there was a total of 6 bedrooms.

These guest bedrooms were meticulously designed and thoughtfully positioned on the same level as the master bedroom, offering a harmonious blend of luxury and convenience:

Each guest bedroom featured king-size beds with high-thread-count linens, inviting relaxation and rest. En-suite bathrooms provided a spa-like experience with contemporary fixtures, rainfall showers, and heated marble flooring. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows framed breathtaking cityscape views, with remote-controlled blackout curtains for privacy. Custom-designed walk-in closets ensured organization and convenience. Smart technology-controlled room features, and dedicated workstations provided functionality. Soundproofing and privacy measures ensured uninterrupted tranquillity and the elegant decor, high-definition TVs, with some rooms even having private balconies added to the overall experience.

Every room was really good and 2 of the six even had a balcony. Once they were done, they took the elevator that was at the end of the left hallway; this elevator could only bring you down to the 2nd floor, where you then would get off and take the other private elevator. A second elevator had to be built so that the layout of the penthouse would be clearer; that's why the second elevator was built in the far end of the left hallway.

You can still take the stairs to go to the fourth floor, but they decided to take the elevator this time. The fourth floor was dedicated to entertainment, relaxation, and recreation. It's a sprawling space where Lucien and his guests can indulge in a wide array of luxurious amenities. Once Lucien stepped outside of the elevator, he saw the same hallway but this time the hallway was higher, and there was a room on the right that was separated through glass panels, it was the fitness center, equipped with the latest exercise machines, free weights, and cardio equipment. There were also floor-to-ceiling windows at the back that provided invigorating views while residents worked on their fitness.

On the left was a door, through which you could get to a spa retreat. The private spa retreat is a serene sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. It includes a sauna and a steam room, that providies residents with a tranquil escape.

Just in front of the spa retreat was a big outdoor terrace that spanned over the whole left starting from the spa retreat.

Once he saw it, he was immediately drawn to the breathtaking Outdoor Terrace that awaited him. This spacious oasis was a masterpiece of design, offering a harmonious blend of natural beauty and modern luxury.

The first thing that struck him was the panoramic views that stretched out before his eyes. From this vantage point, he could take in the city's iconic skyline, with its dazzling lights and architectural marvels, all framed by the vast open sky.

Lush greenery and carefully curated plants adorned the terrace, creating a serene and natural environment. Vibrant foliage added a touch of tranquility, offering a refreshing contrast to the bustling streets below.

Multiple seating areas were thoughtfully arranged throughout the terrace, each providing a different perspective of the city. Plush outdoor furniture beckoned him to unwind, socialize, or simply enjoy moments of solitude while immersed in the open air.

At the heart of the terrace, a stylish fire pit served as a focal point for gatherings. Surrounded by cozy seating, it was the perfect spot to enjoy conversations, toast marshmallows, or simply bask in the warmth of the flames on cool evenings.

What truly caught his attention was the high-tech retractable roof that stretched above the terrace. Controlled by a user-friendly interface, he could open it to reveal the expansive sky on clear days or close it to provide shade and shelter during inclement weather. This innovative feature ensured that the terrace could be enjoyed year-round, whether under the sun or beneath a starry sky.

A soothing water feature added to the overall ambiance, with cascading water creating a calming soundtrack for moments of relaxation. The gentle flow of water contributed to a sense of tranquility, enhancing the outdoor experience.

An outdoor dining area with a large, elegant table provided the perfect setting for al fresco meals. He could already imagine himself enjoying gourmet dining with the city as his backdrop, creating unforgettable culinary experiences.

And finally, an outdoor kitchen equipped with a built-in grill, bar, and dining area made hosting gatherings with friends and family effortless. It allowed him to prepare and serve meals while enjoying the refreshing outdoor atmosphere, although he knew that he still needed to practice his culinary skills for that.

Once you went back inside, you could go to the left where the stairs were and go to the other side. Once you reached the other side, you would see a bar and lounge. The bar and lounge area, offers a stylish space for cocktails and conversation. It features a fully stocked bar with top-shelf spirits, a sleek marble countertop, and comfortable seating. This is the ideal setting for hosting intimate gatherings or enjoying a nightcap.

Right next to it on the right was the billiards lounge, that was a large open space. Here, Lucien and his guests could enjoy friendly games of billiards in an elegant setting. The room is adorned with exquisite wood paneling and classic billiards decor.

The last room that was on the right was also the biggest; it was the entertainment room. As he stepped into the Entertainment Room on the fourth floor, he was immediately immersed in a world of cinematic luxury. The room was a masterpiece of design, meticulously crafted to provide an unrivaled audiovisual experience.

The centerpiece of the room was undoubtedly the massive 120-inch OLED screen that dominated one wall. It seemed to stretch from floor to ceiling, creating an imposing presence. The screen's 4K resolution and vibrant colors promised a viewing experience of unparalleled clarity and brilliance.

Plush leather seating arrangements were strategically positioned for optimal viewing. Each seat was designed with the utmost comfort in mind, featuring sumptuous upholstery and ample space to stretch out. He sank into the soft cushions, feeling as if he were settling into a personal cocoon of relaxation.

Surround sound speakers were discreetly integrated into the room, ensuring that he would be enveloped in a rich, immersive audio experience. Whether he was watching an action-packed blockbuster or a poignant drama, the sound quality would be nothing short of exceptional.

Innovation was at the heart of the room's design. A cutting-edge control panel allowed him to customize every aspect of his viewing experience. With a touch of a button, he could adjust the lighting to create the perfect ambiance. Dimmed lights and blackout curtains were at his command, ensuring that the room could be transformed into a private cinema at a moment's notice.

And now, an added touch of convenience and indulgence awaited him. In one corner of the room, a sleek and modern snack and drink bar had been seamlessly integrated. The bar featured a selection of gourmet snacks, from popcorn and nachos to chocolates and artisanal cookies. A variety of beverages were on offer as well, including a curated collection of wines, craft beers, and non-alcoholic options.

He could simply help himself to his favorite treats and beverages, all within arm's reach, without ever having to leave the comfort of his seat. The bar's countertop was illuminated by soft, ambient lighting, casting a warm and inviting glow over the delectable offerings.

A selection of the latest streaming services and an extensive library of films were also readily available, offering an endless array of entertainment options. He could access his favorite movies and TV shows with ease, all from the comfort of the plush seating.

Meanwhile, the room's decor exuded sophistication, with tasteful artwork adorning the walls and elegant furnishings adding to the ambiance. Even the choice of textiles, from the curtains to the throw pillows, had been carefully curated to create a visually stunning environment.

He tried sitting down on one of the plush chairs and couldn't help but be surprised at how comfortable they were. Victoria also sat down and was also a little surprised. Although Lucien was surprised, he didn't actually let it show on his face and stood up after a little while.

They then went to the elevator that was near them and went up to the rooftop, the fifth and last floor of the penthouse.

He stepped out of the elevator onto the rooftop terrace, an enclosed room with a glass front that offered a breathtaking preview of the outdoor space. The room served as a transition, seamlessly connecting the penthouse to the terrace, on the right was also the staircase leading up from the fourth floor. Its floor-to-ceiling glass walls provided sweeping cityscape views, and a glass door at the front allowed easy access to the terrace.

To the left, under the roof that extended ten to fifteen meters high, he discovered the dining area and kitchen. This covered space was designed for al fresco dining and entertaining. An outdoor kitchen featured top-of-the-line appliances, including a built-in grill and a bar, all set against high-quality marble countertops. Adjacent to it, a formal dining area welcomed grand gatherings, complete with a crystal chandelier casting a warm, inviting glow over a dining table crafted from rare, exotic wood. The flooring beneath was adorned with luxurious wood paneling, adding an inviting warmth and sophistication to the space. Further beyond, additional seating areas with plush sofas and armchairs provided cozy spots for relaxation and conversation, with adjustable lighting enhancing the evening ambiance.

On the whole front side of the rooftop terrace lay the infinity pool, the central masterpiece of the space. Stretching out towards the cityscape, its sleek design featured glass edges that seemingly merged with the skyline. It was heated year-round and boasted an automated cover for safety and maintenance. Along the entire length of the pool's edge, except for the right end, he found luxurious and comfortable sun loungers, perfect for basking in the sun while taking in the breathtaking views. Two sunken whirlpools, with adjustable water pressure and temperature settings, were thoughtfully placed in the middle of the infinity pool's edge, offering residents a spa-like experience. Under the roof on the right side, there were more seating areas, providing shaded spots for those who preferred to enjoy the outdoors without direct sunlight.

The flooring under the roof was composed of elegant wood panels, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication to the covered area. Meanwhile, the pool area featured non-slip, high-quality stone tiles to ensure safety. Lighting was thoughtfully designed, with concealed LED fixtures and elegant outdoor pendant lights that allowed for adjustable lighting levels, creating the desired ambiance for various occasions, whether it was a romantic evening or a daytime gathering.
