Chapter 14 :- Being With Him Part 1

Aisha was feeling restless and eager for some fresh air, when she remembered she had promised with Alexander that she would be on the lunch table with him.

She stepped out of her room and made her way to the dining hall where is lunch table sat up.

When she arrived, the dining room was vacant and there was not even a single maid in sight.

Aisha is used to this kind of disrespect, but she was not prepared for Alexander to pull the same practical prank on her.

So she settled down to her meal, lost in her thoughts.

A few moments later, to her surprise, Alexander appeared and took a seat across from her.

They exchanged a quick glare before delving into their food.

As they finished their meal,

"Aisha let's go outside."

Aisha nodded, she followed him outside to the waiting car,

But as she reached for the back door, she noticed someone missing.

"Where's Mr. Bill?" she asked, puzzled.

A hint of coldness showed on Alexander's face as he shook his head without saying a word.

Opening the driver's side door, he gestured for Aisha to get in.

She complied silently, a mix of confusion and anticipation swirling within her.

Seated beside her in the car, Alexander took the driver's seat.

Aisha's eyes widened in astonishment.

She had never seen him drive before, and the realization sparked a flood of questions in her mind.

However, she chose to hold her tongue and watched in silence as he maneuvered the vehicle onto the open road.

Hours passed in a blur of rolling landscapes and changing scenery.

The sun dipped lower in the sky, casting long shadows across the land.

Aisha's curiosity grew as she spotted a grand, luxurious gate looming in the distance,

Its imposing structure hints at secrets waiting to be revealed.

As they approached the gate, Aisha's heart raced with a mix of excitement and trepidation.

The car halted in front of the entrance, and as the gates slowly swung open, revealing a sprawling estate beyond,

Aisha's breath caught in her throat.

The plan I work on is going to happen,

I knew he would take me here but I didn't expect him to take me here directly.

Although I have never been here in my previous life, this mansion is perfect for my plans.

The car glided through the gates,

The car's slow, measured pace on the long driveway allowed Aisha ample time to absorb her surroundings.

The road was flanked by meticulously trimmed bushes and ancient trees,

whose verdant branches swayed in the breeze.

Her earlier disbelief at the grandeur of the entry gate had only deepened during their half-hour drive deeper into the estate.

The scenery was sublime, giving her a sense of entering another world,

a sanctuary far removed from the hustles of everyday life.

As their destination came into full view,

Aisha's jaw practically dropped.

The mansion that now stood proudly before her was a towering testament to luxury.

It glistened under the mid-afternoon sun,

each detail from its expansive front lawn to the intricate moldings adorning its walls exuding opulence.

Its scale and grandeur far exceeded Salvatore's mansion where she lived,

already an epitome of luxury. This was on an entirely different level.

This man how rich can he be, I know he had a big mansion on Imperial Street.

However, I had no idea that his mansion would be even larger than Imperial Academy.

Imperial Street is known for Imperial Academy even an apartment will cost a fortune.

Aisha is shocked to learn that Alexander has a large mansion all to himself.

"Do you like this place?" Alexander asked,

his eyes watching her closely as he stepped out of the car and came around to open her door.

"Are you kidding with me?" Aisha exclaimed, her eyes still taking in the splendor of the mansion.

She turned to face him with wide eyes. "When I saw your mansion for the first time, I thought maybe thousands of people lived there. It was the biggest place I had ever seen, even your parking lot is bigger than the mansion I came from. But this is gigantic. So big."

A hint of a smile played on Alexander's red lips as he listened.

"That place is for random persons, but this...," he gestured towards the grand building before them, "this is my real place, where I live. Only a few authorized people can enter here."

His words sent a ripple through Aisha.

There was an intimacy to them, a sense of privilege that made her feel remarkably special and trusted.

She looked at him, a warmth spreading through her chest. Smiling warmly, she gently took his arm in hers.

"Thanks for trusting me," she said softly, her eyes searching his as if trying to understand the depth of his trust. "Can we go inside?"

Alexander nodded, placing his hand over hers and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

They walked up the stone steps and through the oversized double doors,

which opened effortlessly at Alexander's touch.

The interior was just as magnificent as Aisha had imagined, if not more.

Black Marble floors gleamed under elaborate chandeliers, and the vast foyer gave way to an opulent staircase that curved gracefully upwards.

Golden-colored tapestries hung on the walls.

She looked around, awestruck by the paintings and sculptures that adorned every nook.

The blend of modern luxury and historical elegance was perfectly balanced, making the space feel both timeless and welcoming.

"Come," Alexander said, guiding her through the foyer and into a spacious living room that overlooked the stunning grounds.

The room was filled with plush furniture,

the kind one might expect to see in a palace,

yet it felt remarkably comfortable.

The focal point was a grand fireplace,

above which hung an exquisite painting of a mountain landscape,

its purples and blues bring an air of serene majesty to the space.

It dawned on Aisha why Alexander had brought her here.

Today, her phone call to Cat Eye makes Alexander suspicious of the spy.

The secret police and White Snake's leash are loosened.

Alexander brought her here because he did not want to take any chances.

For this reason, she did not see anyone today,

when they went outside.

And there were four other cars like our car on the street.

They were following us at first, but it soon became clear to me that they were only following the car on the street to serve as a distraction.

Then I realize they are Alexander's bodyguards.

With danger lurking in the shadows,

He could protect her and also monitor her by keeping her close to him.

Aisha was lost in her thoughts when she felt a gentle hand rest on her forehead.

She saw Alexander touch her forehead gently, breaking her reverie.

Aisha warmly smiles at Alexander.
