Carrington P.O.V.
Denver, Colorado (Mile High City)
I took a deep breath and walked into my new room and closed the door. As I surveyed the bedroom, I dropped my overnight bag to the floor. I close my eyes and take another deep breath as a wave of unanswered questions flood my brain cells.
What in the world just happened? Why is my heart beating out of my chest?
Damn, that man is Fineeeee.... I am more confused than before. If that was even possible.
Why do I feel like I have just entered the twilight zone, and I am in a twisted version where I am Eve, the rapper marrying Maximillion Cooper? Well, t****k did say All Gingers are now BLACK. And are OFFICIALLY invited to every COOKOUT.
More importantly, why does a MAN that gorgeous and apparently very RICH need to HIRE a DAMN WIFE? I am sure women are lining up by the busload to throw themselves at him.
This bedroom is fabulous.
It's cream - everything.
The bedroom screams of timeless elegance, creating a serene backdrop almost like a spa. The walls, the furniture and even the carpet are creamy white, forming a sophisticated base, making the room feel airy while still allowing the view to shine. It's more of a small suite than a bedroom with its luxurious, hotel-grade master bathroom, functional and dreamy walk-in wardrobe and balcony with a stunning mountain landscape. A beautifully appointed room that feels like a private spa retreat after walking through the whole suite.
Not wanting to go another second in these shoes, I quickly took them off.
Then, I carried my shoes and my bags into the sprawling, private dressing room with custom built-ins. I took my coat off and hung it up.
Next, I grabbed my bag and went into the bathroom. Today, Monday, December 1, the first day of purposefully building a new life based on lies.
A resort-style ensuite with a freestanding tub and dual rain showers. This isn't just the bathroom, it's a vast, light-filled retreat. A generously proportioned master bath, feeling more like a private spa wing. It features a spa-inspired oasis, complete with heated floors and a double vanity.
I quickly removed my make-up and pinned my hair up. I put my copper silk bonnet on my head. I took off my jewelry. I placed my skin care products, make-up and hair care products as well as all my Bath & Body Works products.
After that, I took the most relaxing bath I have ever had in my life. Afterward, I put on my classic Victoria's Secret copper two - piece satin pajama set with buttons and long sleeves, as well as the cozy lounge pant.
Thereafter, I set my alarm and climbed into that bed. It was like sleeping on a cloud. It was so soft. I didn't know they made beds that could feel this amazing. And...before I knew it, I was in La La Land.
I didn't open my eyes again until my alarm went off. I felt much better. I needed that sleep.
I glanced over and saw a phone next to my bed.
I want so badly to pick it up and hear my father's voice. To tell him I was about to get married. I never in a million years dreamed I would get married, and my father wouldn't be there to walk me down the aisle. I can't risk messing up my plan.
I can't call him. This is for the best and I just have to be strong. I am safe and as long as I stay gone and hidden, my family and friends will be okay as well.
I get up and walk into my walk-in closet. I started looking through my bag for something to wear. I needed to get dressed to meet Klay for dinner on time. I don't want to be late.
All of a sudden, butterflies start dancing in my stomach at the thought of seeing that seexxxxxy Ginger, again.
I try to push them away. This is strictly a business deal. Keep your silly feelings out of this transaction....you can't afford the luxury of falling in love right now. Not with a mass murder out to silence you for good.
Quickly, I decided on my dark olive casual V-neck knit sweatsuit set with wide-leg lounge pants. It looks like a nice sweater set as well as my Victoria's Secret PINK logo green flip-flop slides. It's age appropriate but still classy and sophisticated.
Klay said dinner was relaxed and casual.
Most importantly, we are eating here inside the penthouse. I am not ready to meet people yet. Not until I have a better understanding of what's expected of me.
It's not giving vixen vibes at all. Everything is covered up and nothing is too tight.
The only thing on display will be my cute ivory french manure and pedicure. It's V-neck but nothing slutty.
Next, I decided to wear my gold herringbone necklace that holds a gold heart-shaped locket showcasing pictures of my family on one side and on the other me and my Dad with the engraving on the back: "Always in my Heart."
Along with my 14k yellow gold heart stud earrings from Macy's and my 10 pc Gold Bangle Bracelet set.
Wanting to be fresh, I quickly walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I brushed my teeth and chased the sandman away, as my mother used to say. I took off my bonnet and quickly unpinned my hair. My hair fell right into place.
After that, I unbuttoned my copper satin long-sleeve pajama shirt and walked back into the bedroom to go into my walk-in-wardrobe to get dressed. That's when I hear a sharp intake of breath.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Klay standing in the doorway looking directly at me. You would have thought I was in the middle of a TLC music video with my black lace push bra exposed showcasing my girls. I quickly closed my shirt and stared at him.
We were both standing there looking at each other.
