CHAPTER 14~ HOUSE TOUR

Mariann programmed the elevator to take them to the third floor. As it went up, she turned to Larisa. “Your room is on the third floor, I’ll take you there first.”

Larisa nodded, waiting on the doors to open when the elevator stopped. When they finally did, Mariann was the first to walk out and Larisa followed.

Just like the previous floor, the wall was painted white, and a gold chandelier hung from the roof of the sitting room that greeted them as soon as they exited the hall.

“There are three rooms on this floor. Yours; which is the first room on the left, Mr. Maverick’s which is right beside yours and the room on the right is being used as Mr. Maverick’s home office. There is also a kitchen just after the hallway between your room and the office. I usually do the cooking though, so you might not have to use it.” She gestured towards the first door on the left; Larisa’s room. “Let’s have a look. Everything you could possibly need is in there, even the bathroom is adjoined. Mr. Maverick must’ve wanted you to be comfortable. He sorted out everything in person yesterday, he didn’t even go to work…and he always goes to work.”

Larisa chuckled nervously. “Yes, that must be it.” It her ass…Larisa knew wholeheartedly that that man didn’t want to see her comfortable, he wanted to see her scared and cornered.

But Mariann seemed clueless, she seemed so humble too.

Following her to the room, Larisa curiously peeked inside when the door opened. The room was huge, probably as big as the ‘house’ she lived in before; kitchen, hall and bathroom combined. The white wall matched so well with the lavender curtains that made way to large, glass windows. The sheet on the bed was lavender too and so was the runner on the dresser top.

On top of that runner was a flowerpot with a flourishing plant in it, there were also ceramic ornaments and a flower painting etched to the wall right above the dresser.

The king-sized bed looked comfortable. The fluffy pillows were leant against a beautiful headboard made of wood the exact same color as the dresser and as the double doors etched between the wall in front of the bed.

Larisa gestured towards them, silently asking for permission to enter.

“Go ahead, everything in here is yours. That door actually leads to the closet and the one in the corner over there is the bathroom door.” She pointed over at it to solidate her words.

Larisa walked over to the double doors, slowly pulling them open to reveal a walk-in closet. It was huge, and everything inside was organized accordingly.

Shoes; more shoes than she’d owned from baby days until now were stacked like books on a library shelf. There were also bags and purses of different colors along with perfume and other hygienic products, all aligned in three different columns on the left side of the closet.

On the other side, all she could really see were clothes; dresses and suits hung up on hangers and beneath them were more clothes neatly folded and stacked. There were also three drawers, columnized in one line. When she checked inside each, she realized that they were for bras, lingerie, panties and one entirely made and layered to withhold jewelry.

It was all so beautifully put together, but what really mesmerized her was the huge mirror in the very center of it all. It was more than 6ft wide and 6ft tall, making a perfect square against the wooden wall. She could see all of herself; her head straight down to her bare feet and she looked…well, she looked awfully disoriented.

Her hair was a mess and the shirt she wore covered most of the pajama bottom she had on. She also looked really short in the mirror, Mariann being a head taller than her. “Do you like it?”

Larisa nodded slowly. “It’s nice.”

“I’m glad, Mr. Maverick will be happy.” She smiled, gesturing towards the footwear section of the closet. “I’d suggest you put on a slippers to your liking, the next place I’ll be taking you is to the garden outside, you’ll probably love it there too.”

|-_-| /-_- |-_-|

The garden was really a sight to behold. The rose archway at the entrance created a beautiful path to the greenhouse, and inside was colorful, filled with different plants and flowers.

There were three benches on the sidelines, two of which were almost covered by running plants. Larisa’s index finger ran along the edge of a hanging flowerpot, a slight smile gracing the edge of her lips as she thoroughly looked around.

The sunlight gleamed above the glass, creating a scene Larisa thought she could only see in movies. Rocks were used to create a trail, separating the plants from the walk-way. It seemed so magical that Larisa was actually sad when it was time to leave.

After looking around the garden, she was taken to the outdoor pool, Mariann also explained that there was a more private pool on the first floor which she was later shown after visiting the gym. There was an entertainment room just a door away from the gym where you could play pool and board games. There were also two dart boards against the wall and a couple arcade machines. Seemed fun.

The last room she was taken to on the second floor withheld a huge home theater, where even her footsteps echoed every time she walked.

And that marked the end of her ‘new home’ tour. After that, Mariann gathered the employees and introduced her to them as their ‘Main priority’, and then she was taken back on the third floor to her room.

Larisa flopped down on the bed as soon as Mariann left, promising to bring her lunch in an hour or so. She was tired, the house was so big that she felt she’d walked miles just to tour it.

It was beautiful and all, but Larisa did not want to live here…not with him; not with that monster.

Sighing frustratedly, she twisted on the bed, closing her eyes and trying to find peace until somewhere along the lines, she did find it.

She found peace in a long thoughtless sleep.
