Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 112: Mega-Mansion

It's five past six when we arrive at our destination.

Entering the huge black gate with six armed men who opened the gate for us, I thought I would finally

be able to see the mega-mansion that Rian had stated earlier...but to my dismay, huge and tall trees

came first to my eyes.

The guards said that we still have to drive at least two minutes to get to the venue, which I remembered

that Rian also said earlier that it was in the middle of 100, 000 square meters. Whoa! That's too big!

Her friend is truly rich... well, based on her story and of course on the evidence flaunting around us.

The sun had finally set and the darkness spread around the area if not for the lights flickering on the

branches of trees that can be seen on the side of the road. Different types of flowering plants have also

added color to the green surroundings which make it magnificent to my naked eyes.

But my attention caught by the specific flower in different colors which also happened to be my

favorite... tulips. I opened the window and a smile spread on my lips as their scents filled my nostrils.

I closed my eyes and imagined myself walking on that road every morning to pick one of those flowers,

pink, white, yellow, orange and of course, purple and stuck it on my ear... or maybe cut many of them to

bring them to 'our' room.

A few moments later...

"We're here, Sis."

"Huh?" My eyes snapped open when I felt a light tap on my arm.

"We're here." She repeats and then Ben opened the side of my door.

The first thing I noticed when I stepped out was the number of cars... mostly expensive cars parked in a

wide-open space in front of us, second was the huge fountain in the middle with dancing lights around

it...in purple? Hmm...now I believe that her friend's fiancee really loves purple too.

"Wow..." I breathe in awe and containing my mouth from opening, but not anymore when we pass the

fountain area as all the lights turned off and when they returned, I couldn't help the loud gasp that

escaped through my lips. A contemporary architectural mega-mansion appeared right in front of my

eyes.

"Whoa!" I have to blink twice...thrice... (until I lost count) ... just to make sure I ain't dreaming.

"This mansion measures 80'000 square meter - not to mention the extra 20, 000 square meters of

outdoor decks, pool patios and established gardens... so all in all, it measures 100'000 square meter."

Rian explained having a broad smile on her lips.

She has already explained to me how big is the mansion is while we were on our way here, but it still

seems new to my ears.

"Hmm. Do you think the owners of this mansion can able to see each other every day? I mean... this is

so freaking big for the two of them, forgodsake!"

She laughed at my reaction.

"Don't worry, Sis, my brother has his own ways of finding you in every corner of this house." She

winked at me, but that only brought confusion on my already confused state.

"What do you mean with your brother has his own ways of finding me? It's as if you're saying this

house is his?" I asked, my eyes weren't moving away from the huge structure built a few meters away

from us and I mentally chuckled at the silly idea that came to my head. Maybe because I still have

slight envy of her friend's fiancee.

"Oh! What I mean is that when he, my brother buys you a house like this." She shrugged.

I sighed. Honestly, I don't really care if he buys me a villa, a huge mansion or a very small apartment as

long as we're together. Because for me, marriage and relationships are not based on how big or small

their home is, it is how they treat, respect and loves each other.

Tsk.tsk.tsk. I shake my head. I promised tonight to enjoy this party and leave all my problems for

tomorrow or when he comes back. From NôvelDrama.Org.

..........................................

"Rian, are sure this is the venue of your friend's engagement party?" I asked her when we reached the

main door.

Doubt started to fill me as I don't see any guests or a sign of having a party except the luxurious cars

parked outside.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"Uhmm... I don't hear music coming from inside."

She gave me a wide smile.

"Because it's a soundproof door, Sis."

"Oh, I see. That didn't come to my mind. Tsk.tsk... how silly of me." I said blowing a heavy breath.

"You looked tense, Sophia Yzabelle Kelley. Are you okay?"

"Of course, I am!"

"Hmm...okay, but may I remind you this party isn't yours."

"I know and I didn't say that!"

Her chuckles rang in my ears. I don't know where she got that idea.

"Are you ready?"

I glanced at her and nodded... with a silent question on the back of my head. 'Why the hell wouldn't I be

ready? This party isn't mine.'

When the large double wooden door opened, soft music came to my ears, but I almost choked on the

blinding smoke that hit our face.

"What the hell!" I mumbled which caused Rian to laugh at me.

Forgodsake! Why do they need to put such a smoke effect like this? As if this is a halloween party

instead of a surprise engagement party... duh!

When we get past the freaking smoke effect, I freeze on my spot.

Paparazzi.

Flashes of cameras from every corner strike us. I thought the fake smoke was what would blind me, but

I was wrong as the flashes coming from everywhere now making me blind and I don't know where to

look first, so I grabbed Rian's arm.

"Sis, relax and don't worry because they were highly paid for taking pictures but not for having an

interview with any of the guests."

"Really? Is that even possible? I mean, they were media personnel and it's their job to scope an article

especially in----"

"Come on, don't mind them. Just wear your smile and let's enjoy this party, okay?"

"Alright." I sighed. Do I have a choice?

Looking ahead of me, I almost felt dizzy. Well, it's not because of the number of guests gathering

inside... which I already expected... but how huge and luxurious the living room was. I'm sure

everything in this living room is expensive... from the furniture to the silver decorations that made it

interesting by adding tidbits of purple, lighting fixtures and a large painting hanging on the left side of

the room in which it added glam to space.

But I couldn't help frowning as I noticed that every piece of decoration I saw was quite familiar. The

furniture, the large sputnik chandelier and the painting. I simply glanced back on it.

Who would have thought that the owner of this mansion also loved abstract paintings?

I am about to open my mouth when I felt Rian's hand tug on my arm. But she just smiled at me when I

looked at her.
