The black giant gate opened to a smooth black tarred road, with short pine trees on both sides of the road. The height and the position of the trees were so coordinated as if it was planted by an accurate geometrist. As the chauffeur of the limousine theo sent to pick us up drove into the compound, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I wondered if I could take it all; this overwhelming new life. Soon a magnificent white edifice with a giant fountain in front of it came into view. The limo pulled up in front of the mansion, Nicole alighted first and rushed into the arms of a man standing in front of the building, it seemed as if he had been waiting for us. I alighted slowly, taking everything in carefully. “ This can't be mom's boyfriend sorry husband”, I could not believe this handsome man with one or two strands of silver hair on his hair, with the body of an athlete is Theophilus Duncan. I was expecting a greying old rich man barely standing or with a third leg, who just wanted a beautiful woman to look after him and live out his last days with. “ Hello Jessica” Theo said, he looked so absolutely happy to see me but I don't know whether I felt the same. I mumbled a cold reply and went to get my luggages. “ Don't worry I will get it for you”, a middle aged man in black and white uniform said. “ No I can carry my own bag”, “ No miss, I insist”, the man pushed me gently. “ Jessica allow Paulo help you with your bags”, I looked to my mom for help but nothing came forth then I resigned to my fate. We were ushered into the edifice and we were met by a gigantic hallway, the ceiling decor resembles the natural skyline and the floor was like a mirror, there were several passageways each leading to many other rooms. The breathtaking chandelier was giving out powerful golden lights. Amazement replaced my initial skepticism, Mr Duncan was not only rich but has exquisite taste. The beauty and magnificence of the furniture and the interior decor is undescribable. “ Let me show you around," Theo announced. He showed us the pool, gym, spa, kitchen, garden, the garage. There was even a mini museum to showcase Duncan's family achievement. I was wowed, yes, but not enough to betray my late father's feelings. When I was fed up with the apparent show of vanity, I declared “ Can someone show me my room or something, I need to be alone now”, What I was ushered into was not just a room but a mini apartment. The size alone is bigger than my whole house back in new Leeds town. I have my own sitting room, two bedrooms, ultra modern bathrooms and kitchen. Everything was furnished to the highest taste, no funds were held back. One of the rooms is a master's bedroom with a king sized bed with exquisite decor while the other one is smaller but has a fine but minimalistic decor. I immediately chose the master bedroom. I love the furniture and decor. They were all made with cream coloured expensive silk. I looked up and saw a balcony, I went outside to take a look and gasped, the view was breathtaking. Below I can see the open swimming pool, the tennis court, the water fountain beyond the fence of the estates was stretches of endless evergreen lush forest and ranges of mountains that stretch into the horizon, the air around was so clean and fresh, I took a deep breath. “ You like it, I choose l your favorite colour”, I shrugged in response, I don't want to appear too excited. “ I have always wanted to give you the best things from childhood yet I couldn't afford it ”, “ It's pretty”, I said honestly. “ You deserve it all honey”, then she got emotional and draw me to a hug, “ And this is all yours, your brother's quarter is right next to yours”, “ Oh Philip Duncan, the smart, handsome and perfect son”, I have done a little research on the Duncan family “ He is your stepbrother now, you have every right as him in this house”, “ You know I don't care about this whole thing right,” “ I won't stop until you take this house as your home”, I shrugged “Alright I will leave you now to rest,” Nicole planted a quick kiss on my forehead and left. I did not rest, instead I stood up and started unpacking my stuff. I walked into my closet and it was filled with assorted clothes, shoes and bags. I picked up one of the clothes and screamed at the exorbitant price tag. I took a selfie, I am going to send it to my Friend Phoebe later.. I went to the balcony to take more selfies when I noticed a naked masculine torso that looks like it was carved by a Greek god emerging from the pool, his body was tanned and spotless and his figure delicious. The aquamarine blue swimming trunk he was wearing clung to his body accentuating his perfectly shaped butt. He took off his google, grabbed his towel from a reclining chair and wiped his face with it, as if he felt by instinct that someone was spying on him he turned exactly to my direction. I withdrew back inside instantly, I don't know whether he saw me or not. Who is he??
