Something was awfully weird.

The moment I stepped out of the car to the villa we rented for the vacation at Miami, I had the feeling in my stomach that something was off. It wasn't because the house we rented was not as per our need, no it was better than that. However, the people about to live in the house were giving me looks. What confused me more was that they weren't even trying to hide it; all of them with a different set of expressions.

I did what I was best at, ignoring people. Brushing it off, I made my way inside with the rest of the crew that travelled with me in my car.

"Woah!" Scarlett muttered in awe as she looked around, fascinated. "Is that our private beach!?"

"Of course." Ethan winked, enclosing his arms around her from behind as they observed the beautiful vast sea that gleamed in the morning sun.

Shaking my head and trying to hide the small smile, I looked to my right only to almost shit my pants with how startled I got.

Looking up at me with big round wide questioning eyes was Sophia; too close to my liking. Feeling a little creeped out, I took a small cautious step back to not startle the wide animal in form of my sister-in-law.

"Can I help you?" I asked, slowly.

All she did was tilt her head to the side. She was looking at me but she wasn't present next to me. Carefully, I moved slowly away from her and rounded Jasper to stand on his other side making him a sheild for me from Sophia.

Jasper getting the hint waved a hand in front of Sophia's face who was yet to blink. I looked around for my idiot brother who clearly forgot to give her medicines to stop her from being creepy. Completing my search, I found him talking to the helper of the house and bringing in the suitcases.

"Hey, Sophia? Are you alright?" Jasper tried again as the waving hands weren't working.

Bloody hell. She still didn't speak but kept on staring.

"Will, I think your wife's broken." Jasper muttered after his failed attempt to get any answer from the lady in question.

Will looked at Sophia and smirked. "Ah! You have to excuse my fiance. I just gave her a surprising news."

"I think you broke my sister too." Jasper stated, oddly.

I glanced at Candice and sure she was staring at me in the similar manner along with Marisa. However, once catching my eyes, Marisa shook her head as if coming out of her small reverie.

Will chuckled and pulled Sophia close to his chest, causing her to break her stare and looking at his fiance. Finally, feeling the ability to breath without people having bore holes in my body, I took in the house.

The house or villa as we had make a booking for was quite spacious and open. Upon entering from the main entrance, there was path on both sides leading toward the rooms. At the center was a big sitting area with multiple bean bags, and a red couch facing the television. The kitchen was to the left side of the sitting area. A large sliding window stood facing the beach with a small patio with beach chairs for relaxation. Stepping down from the patio directly gives feet the ability to soak them in the soft sand.

I knew this place at the back of my hand because whenever I travelled to the States for business purpose and especially to Miami, this was the place I stayed at. So maybe this was a vacation villa for others, but for me, it was my own personal home. Some where I felt comfortable and relax.
