Ashley
My heart pounded hard in my chest as I drove into the driveway of the royal Mansion.
Just like my grandfather's Mansion, it exuded an aura of wealth and legacy yet rivaled it in building, making it seem like a common home in comparison.
The beauty of the Mansion was breathtaking as I reached the front door, where Christian was waiting for me, dressed in a tailored blue suit that accentuated his chiseled features.
A dazzling smile spread across his face as our eyes met, and I felt excitement.
This was all fake, I reminded myself, but my heart pounded harder as he approached, still smiling.
I forgot how to breathe for a second as he reached my side and stretched forth his hand for me to take.
''Welcome, Ashley,'' he said, his voice low and smooth. ''You look beautiful.'' My face suddenly turned red, and I tried hard to avoid looking at him as each glance made my heart race faster.
