Liam's car moved through the first gates of the Bennett residence and Amelie couldn't help but feel speechless.
The mansion was located just on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by a huge, well-kept garden with a lake. Although Amelie used to admire this building every time she saw its pictures in newspapers and magazines when she was younger, she had never had an opportunity to see it herself.
And now, she was more than simply amazed.
The white stone façade gave the mansion an air of timeless sophistication, while the tall, arched windows reflected the soft, golden glow of the setting sun. The meticulously arranged trees and bushes and pristine lawns framed the estate perfectly, enveloping it in an unexpected coziness.
A long, cobblestone driveway led to the grand entrance, where ornate iron gates stood as silent guardians. For the first time in her life, Amelie felt intimidated not by a person but by a building.
