Her Marriage To Hades

Paradise

After a few minutes, Grace came back with a bowl of warm milk. They had actually thought Snow would eat flesh like the rest, but it looks like they don't have to be bothered about that anymore. She placed the bowl on the floor and Snow went forward to her milk, drinking gracefully. Juniper sat crossed-legged on the floor as she watched snow drink and the others watching her closely, utterly amazed. She suddenly remembered something and a long sigh left her lips.

"My husband said I should leave before he gets back" she said, pulling their attention to her. "I should probably start packing my things then" she pursed her lips.

"Where will you go, young miss?" Lydia asked, and Juniper sighed again.

"I'll ask the butler to show me to my new room" she replied. Unknowingly, they heaved a sigh. For a moment they had thought she was going to leave the house. So it's just their bedroom? "Could you call the butler, Grace?"

"Hmm" she nodded and then left the room. After a while, Roland, the old butler came.

"You called me, young miss" he said.

"Yes. I was wondering which room is mine" Juniper said.

"You can choose whichever you want. Young master didn't specify which room you should use" Roland said.

"Oh.... Then, I'll take a room three doors after this" she wanted to be close to him, but not that close. Just in case the times comes for her sneaky stuffs, he wouldn't hear much.

"We'll help you pack your things, then" Lydia said and Juniper smiled at her. They helped her in packing her things and moving it to her new room. It was also very big. In fact, all the rooms on the third floor are so big compared to the first and second. They gently rearranged everything, while Juniper jumped childishly on the soft bed.

After that, they all went to explore the house. Juniper and Snow were so awestruck. The compound was so large that she thought he bought a whole village and built his house on it. The huge white mansion was tinted with gold at the edges, giving it a majestic look. The furniture was also white with golden edges. The hallway had glass floor-to-ceiling windows and plants grew from beneath to the roof, another beautiful work of art. The garden was so large with flowers littered around in an organised manner, it made her feel she was in a complete different place. There was a white swing in the garden under the trees, and dining table for outdoor meals. They walked further and their eyes caught a large artificial lake. It was almost as if it was natural. But what was so surprising was that they were plastic Swans and flamingos on the lake.

Her jaws dropped more than it already has. OMG! THIS IS SO FASCINATING! Juniper couldn't contain how fascinated she had been, that she ended up running around and laughing. This is not a house or a mansion, or a castle. It's Paradise. She can't believe she's now leaving in the earth version of heaven.

That's not all. There's a maze in the compound. Curiosity kicked in. What could be inside? Just as she was about to walk towards it, Lydia stopped her.

"Young miss, you can't go in there." she said.

"Why?" she was asking like a child who was denied the right to buy candies.

"You won't be able to get out from there. It's only young master who can. And it's been a long time since he went in there. You might never be able to come out again" Lydia explained, hoping for the young miss to listen or that would be the end of them.

"O-okay" she agreed. But that doesn't mean she wouldn't go in there if she wants to. They turned around and explored more into the house. Never had she seen such extravangance. Though her family were rich, they weren't as rich as the Reyes. And to think only Zayn Reyes lives in this paradise alone. She wondered how her in-laws' place would be.

After walking around for almost two hours, they finally went to her room.

"This place is so lovely" Juniper said, smiling brightly. "My husband really has a good taste"

"That's right" Lydia butted in.

"But tell me, between this majestic house and me, which is more beautiful?" Juniper asked, blinking her eyes and leaning forward in anticipation of their answer.

"You're more beautiful, young miss" Lydia replied.

"Really? Does that mean my husband would soon get attracted to me? And start to love me?"

Lydia and Grace: "..."

"Well, uh..."

"Nah... Young master loves his house more than any woman" Grace blurted, cutting Lydia off, and Juniper's smiles disappeared. " Oww... Why did you slap me?" Lydia had slapped her head after she said those.

"What's wrong with you? Do not get young miss angry. Who knows what snow would do to you" Lydia snapped and the girl could only twitch her lips. Juniper on the other hand stared sadly at the floor, with her lips pursed. How can this house be more attractive in her husband's eyes than her? She's very beautiful, right?

"Do not mind her, young miss. Don't worry, young master would get attracted to you soon" Lydia tried to be positive to change her mood.

"What if he doesn't?" Juniper spoke, still staring at the floor "What if he really likes someone else?"

Lydia couldn't deny that fact. She had been with Zayn since his childhood, and she knew he liked someone. But the thing is, he doesn't know where or how to find her. He has no information about her. All he knew was her face. She wondered how they met and he began to love her. It's been years, and it's like he hasn't gotten over that feeling. She wondered if he would stop now and focus on his new wife.

"You don't have to worry about that. With time he'll get to love you" Lydia said and the girl let out a long sigh. She suddenly remembered she hadn't called her friends yet. They'll be mad if she doesn't call them now. She took her laptop her went into zoom where she can make a video call with all of them.

"Could you guys excuse me, please? I would like to speak with my friends"

"Of course" they stood up and left her alone with snow.
