Catalaiya's pov:

This house was fucking huge and so pretty. I try to keep my stunned expression in as I looked around.

(Living room area⬆️)

Aziel left the house while I stood in the same spot, awkwardly.

"Hi, I'm Thalia. I'm the maid here." She introduced herself. Thalia was the same height as me, she had short dirty blonde hair, rosy cheeks, dark brown eyes and she has really pale skin.

"Hi, I'm Catalaiya... the new bride." I awkwardly said the last part as I didn't know what else to say and she just smiled at me, not judging.

"Well welcome home, you look pretty in your dress." She complimented me.

It was the first compliment that I got since this morning.

"Thank you," I said sincerely.

She walked behind me and closed the door before turning toward me again.

"None of your stuff arrived yet and I doubt you want to stay in this dress... how about I lend you one of mine and then I'll show you around?" She suggested.

"Yes," I nodded.

"Sit down or walk around, I'll be back soon." She smiled as she dashed to the end of the room toward the door which I think lead outside.

She lives in the back?

I looked around at my new surroundings. I took a step forward before I stopped. The floor was shining, showing how clean it was so I lift the front of my dress and removed my heels, grabbing them by their straps.

I walked to the open glass door behind the couch and I was surprised to see the set-up of his pool. There was another set of couches outside, palm trees, a firepit area, a patio area. I didn't walk outside as I waited for Thalia. I sat on the couch which was comfy.

I heard the door open, "I'm back."

I looked at her and she walked to me with a pink dress.

"I think this will fit you." She says as she handed me the dress.

"Thank you," I said again.

"Come, I'll show you the master bedroom."

I follow her to the stairs which were on the side of the living room. I hold onto the rail as I was afraid I would step on the front of my dress and fall. Once upstairs, there was another living room in the middle.

On either side, there was a door leading in a hallway. She turned to the right side and I followed her. This hallway leads directly to one door. She opened it and stepped inside.

(Master bedroom⬆️)

"It's pretty," I commented.

She chuckled, "Aziel has a great choice."

She walked to another door near the window and she opened it, "here's the bathroom. You can change here while I'll make something for you to drink. What would you like, Coffee, tea, milkshake, juice?"

"Juice will be good," I replied and she nodded.

As she walked out of the room, I dropped the dress on the bed and my heels near the wooden sitting area. I walked near the window and slightly pull the curtain to the side to look outside. The view was the front entrance. I let go of the curtain before looking around.

There was another door that lead to the closet. His closet was behind the wall of his bed. I walked in and I was amazed by the number of suits he has. Once I was done looking around, I grabbed the dress and changed.

It felt good to be out of the wedding dress.

(Catalaiya's outfit⬆️)

Since I didn't have any shoes or sandals to wear, I had to wear my heels. I grabbed the wedding dress and laid it on the small couch. I then made my way downstairs to the kitchen where Thalia was.

(Kitchen⬆️)

I stood by the counter and she handed me a glass of juice, "Fresh orange juice for you."

"Thank you,"

I took a sip and the cold liquid felt refreshing.

"Follow me, I'll show you around."

She walked in front of me and I followed her.

"There are two guest rooms here, that we barely use."

She walked to the last room, which was closer to the back door she used earlier. She opened it and stepped aside so that I could see the inside.

"It's a small library," she spoke as my eyes roamed around. Damn this room was more colourful than the other rooms.

"Who usually reads here?" I asked curiously.

"No one... I only read a few books in my free time in my guest house, but never in here. Maybe, you will use this room more than us." She says making me look at her.

Maybe...

"Do you wanna see my guest house?" She asked and I nodded. We walked out of the room and she opened the back door. We walked on the green grass, to a guest house. She slides open the front door and made her way inside.

(Guest house⬆️)

"Alfred, we have a visitor." She says loudly before grabbing my hand. She excitedly pulled me into her living room and at the same time, Alfred walked in from their bedroom.

"Oh, who is this lovely lady?" He gave me a warm smile.

"I'm Catalaiya, nice to meet you." I introduced myself.

"She is Aziel's wife," Thalia added making Alfred's eye widen.

"And he's my husband Alfred. He's also one of Aziel's drivers." Thalia told me.

Oh...

"Aziel got married?" Alfred asked, not believing Thalia.

"Yes,"

"Well welcome," he smiled and I smiled back.

These two were nice and welcoming. I feel less miserable and sad now as I know there were two people here who I can talk to.

We stayed in the guest house for a few minutes talking before we walked back to the main house. Thalia cooked and we had dinner together. For some reason, I felt really tired. So one hour later, I was on the bed ready to sleep.
