My Unexpected Wedding.

2: The Palace

When we reach the palace it was dark and I couldn't see much. I haven't been here before but there are doorman waiting to open the gates. The driveway was very long and lined with big trees. It felt like we were driving forever. When we finally made it to the end, Theo stopped the car and stepped out. He came around and opened the door for me.

I see the most beautiful place I have ever seen, it is straight out of a fairytale. The large door slowly opens and out comes a beautiful girl, running towards Theo.

"Theo! You are finally home! How was the wedding?" She says with excitement, then realises I was sitting in the car. "Who is this? Did you get married too?"

"No Daphne, this is Mia, Hunter's new wife." He explains.

"Mia? What happen to Blair?" She asks confused.

"Long story." Theo shrugs. He turns and looks at me, and holds out his hand for me to grab. "Mia, this is Daphne, our younger sister."

Daphne had long blonde hair, with green eyes, and had a playful factor about her.

"Hi Mia, seems like an interesting wedding, too bad I missed it. I had a severe case of food poisoning last night and was on the bathroom floor all day." She says and puts her hand on her mouth. "Ugh, I'm feeling sick just thinking about it."

"That's ok, it's very nice to meet you." I say. I get out of the car and grab my bag.

"Mia, let me get that for you." Theo says while grabbing my bag.

We walk inside and I am stunned by the way the inside looks, high ceilings with stone walls, marble flooring, such beautiful paintings. This place is a dream.

"Why is Hunter not with you?" Daphne suddenly realises.

"I'll let him fill you in on that one." Theo says with pressed lips.

"Ok... Come with me Mia, I'll take you to Hunter's room so you can freshen up." Daphne says.

"Don't think that is a good idea." Says Theo. "Take her to the guest room next to my room in the west wing."

West wing? How big is this place?

I follow Daphne to the guest room and enter, and see a very big king size bed with about twelve pillows. It look so soft that I was tempted to run up and jump on it. She shows me the closet where I could down my clothes and then the bathroom for me to shower and change. The bathroom looked bigger than my bedroom back home. Home. I miss home. It had a tub that looked so inviting, maybe for another day.

"Well, I'll leave you to get freshened up. If you need anything let me know. Once you are done. Come down and we can all have dinner. I'll let the chef know that we are hungry, seeing you guys came back a lot earlier than I expected." Daphne says.

"Thank you Daphne." I say quietly.

Daphne smiles and turns towards the door. Once she leaves I take all the pins out of my hair and start to try to unbutton my dress and realise it really hard to take off. I walk back out into the hallway and see if Daphne is in sight to help me. Unfortunately she was no where to be seen. I turn back to go back to my room when I hear a door opposite me open. It was Theo, with his shirt unbuttoned revealing his chiseled abs. Oh, my. I caught myself looking but quickly snapped out of it. Theo smirked.

"Do you need something Mia?" Theo asked.

"Oh... No, I was just looking for Daphne." I reply.

"Why do you need Daphne?"

"The buttons on my dress are hard to reach, just need a little help."

"Oh, I can help you if you want?" Theo says as he takes a step towards me. I hesitate. Maybe I should wait for Daphne. "Daphne is probably already in the kitchen which is on the other side of the house." He says as if reading my mind.

"uh—ok..." I say nervously.
