Chapter 50: No Strings Attached
The car glided to a stop in front of a grand mansion. Its imposing facade, with its towering columns and manicured gardens, was a stark contrast to the sleek, modern apartment Lyse had not yet even had the chance to get used to. As she stepped out of the car, she could not help but feel a surge of awe.
"Welcome home," Levi said, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Home?" Lyse echoed, her voice filled with disbelief. "You can’t be serious."
Levi chuckled. "Oh, i am very serious. We are married now and are expected to live together and we can’t exactly live in my bachelor pad now, can we?"
Lyse was speechless. She had never imagined a life like this, a life of luxury and opulence. She had always been a simple girl, content with her modest apartment and her quiet existence. But now, she was being thrust into a world of wealth and privilege, and it was all a bit overwhelming.
She wanted to protest, to take a stand and take back the reins of her life that she could feel slipping out of her hands but what was the point? She took a deep breath and muttered under her breath.
"Just five more months, just five more months."
"What was that?" Levi asked and she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Nothing, just admiring the house."
