About an hour after leaving the event we arrived at Aiden's house. I wouldn't use the word 'house' to describe it though.
After turning down a few back roads we pulled up to a massive gate that had a huge W made into the top. After he put in a code in the security box on the side, We pulled down a long gravel road that was surrounded by woods and had old timey lanterns lighting the way. After about a 5 minute ride we cleared the gravel road and I was faced with something that I could only describe, as a Unbelievable.
I live in modern two story home that would easily be described as "nice" or "charming". But Aiden's home was extravagant! He pulled around a circular driveway and parked at the front door. I looked through my window and the first thing I noticed was a huge window showing a beautiful chandelier above the front double doors. Aiden was opening my door for me before I knew it, because my attention was on the home in front of me. He extended his hand and I placed my own inside of his.
He helped me from the car and began to lead me up the steps. The front of the porch was supported by 2 big white columns. The house itself look liked it was made from beautiful multicolor stones.
The inside was even more impressive! The room we entered had stairs on both sides leading to the top. The floor was black marble tile and the walls were painted with a dark ruby red. I took a moment to take it all in. When I focused my gaze back on Aiden he was looking at me with a knowing smile.
"Follow Me." He said as an order. I stiffened my back and followed behind him. He led me down a dark hallway colored in the same dark red as the foyer. We reached a dark wooden door and Aiden paused slightly and pushed open the door allowing me to enter first.
It seemed we entered an office of some sort but it reminded me more of a Study like one that I would read about in a Victorian romance novel. This room was painted dark blue, there was a massive stone fireplace on one side of the wall and across the room was a beautiful vintage looking desk. It looked to be made of marble and mahogany with a huge leather office chair behind it.
There were a few paintings hanging on the walls which looked to be expensive and originals. There was a midnight blue Persian rug on the floor. In front of the desk were two chairs which both looked to be made of some high price dark blue treated leather.
Working for my father's construction company I know expensive furnishings when I see them and Aiden's home reeked of money!
Aiden had been watching me absorb his home with silence. I schooled my face into what I hoped to be expressionless when I turned my gaze to him.
"Explain."
Aiden walked over to his desk,sat in the chair and placed his hands on his desk precariously. "Have a Seat." he said in a formal manner.
"I think I prefer to stand." I replied through gritted teeth. He nodded his head, leaned back in his chair and turned to look out the window directly to the right of his desk.
He stayed silent for a few moments and within those moments my temper was steadily rising.
Before I could articulate my anger he spoke.
