Fiora's (POV)

I fluttered open my eyes to the beautiful morning and practically dragged myself to sit upright on the bed. My whole body felt so stiff, that even my head was killing me. I yawned and stretched a little; it felt so good.

As I turned to get out of my bed, my eyes landed on the most beautiful sight, or I would say, a beautiful man. My cheeks became red, and my lips curved to form a smile.

I must be dreaming. There's no way that this man would be in my room, sleeping on the chair.

I got up from my bed and slowly approached him, "This dream is way too real," I thought and smiled. I bent down and reached my hand to his forehead, tracing his face longitudinally to his lips... soft, plumed red lips with my thumb "How would they feel against me" my mind poked me, I immediately dismissed that thought and traced down my fingers to his jawline, to his Adam's apple that's when my eyes shot up to his golden-green eyes staring at me with lust-filled in them.

When those two beautiful orbs connected to mine, his eye colour changed to arctic blue ones, and he growled lowly, uttering the word "Mine" Seduction and possession mixed in his voice.

His eyes were transfixed on my lips and at that moment I realized how dangerously close I was to him

He didn't waste any time and closed the distance between them with a very soft kiss. He got up from his chair, never leaving me. One of his hands went up in my hair and the other at the back, pulling me as close as he could slowly increasing his pace.

"This dream feels way too real" my mind taunted. I suddenly pulled back and maintained an arm's distance from him and looked around.

"This is not my room where am I, oh I remember waterfall, CEO, cave, sword, blast"

I looked at him and asked, "Where am I" I looked down at myself I exclaimed "My clothes... my clothes ....did you change my clothes?" I realized I had spoken louder than intended.

His eyes went big like a saucer, he opened his mouth rather shocked, and he composed his posture his face was red and I am certain mine too mirrored his. "Uhmm... You are in my house, my bedroom to be specific... You became unconscious outside the cave remember ?" He questioned and I nodded my head.

"I couldn't leave you there in that condition so, I brought you here... and as for your clothes Arnica did them" He explained and I nodded my head in understanding

I bowed to express my apology, for the inconvenience I caused and gratitude for taking care of me, but instead, I heard a growling sound. "Did he just growl at me?" I thought and looked up at him very confused his body language and expression changed to a very stern one.

"Breakfast is downstairs, whenever you are ready come downstairs and your clothes will be delivered to you soon," he said and left the room

"Is he mad at me... WHY... did I say or do something wrong... no ..... ah it's so frustrating why just why do I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS he is my superior, and I will lose my job after this...I need to apologize... I'll remember to do it next time..." My mind kept ranting on and on while I stepped in for the shower

"To be honest he is an attractive person, and a weirdo I mean what could have made him growl at me, those eyes certainly changed colour, or maybe I was daydreaming I don't know, this place has started to freak me out should I just leave before something could happen! even Miss Mathew and Mr. Miller are strange......" My thoughts were interrupted by Arnica's voice

"Fiora I brought you clothes, I'm placing them on the bed and breakfast is downstairs hurry and come down" she said while I was taking my shower

"Thank you Arnica I'll be there in a minute" I replied and heard her leaving the room

After getting ready, I walked towards the staircase, and oh my God! the corridor was so pretty; it gave me the old historic palace vibes. I reached the staircase, admiring the beauty and observing the odds.

Down the hallway, I could see light stands, statues, different kinds of potted plants, carvings, and paintings hung on the walls. It was so beautiful; the ceiling contained modern-day art, and the walls had an antique touch to them. It was a treat for a person who is a designer, a perfect combination till I started noticing the odds.

Some potted plants have very different species of flowers which neither I have studied nor have seen, the light stands used to brighten up the halls seemed like they were used as fire holders, some of the statue stands have claw-like marks, some of the carvings have a human figure, a woman to be specific and an animal which could be any one of the canine family

Further down the corridor, I found the stairs and I went down through them. To say I was shocked would be an understatement; the corridor was just the starter I had no idea I was in a mansion. A very huge mansion where there were so many incredible things: chandeliers, a huge table, a fireplace, and walls of art. One of the walls that caught my attention seemed like a family tree, but a very odd family tree

All the portraits were divided into two halves: the first half of each portrait contained a pair of males and females, well-dressed and looking very much in love, just like my father and mother, probably the ancestors of the CEO

The other half of each portrait had some unique pictures; some contained two dogs, maybe wolves or someone from the canine family, wild but beautiful, while some other portraits had only one member from the canine family, and another person(male or female) was in some kind of costume, I guess. Some had wings on their back but they looked super real and beautiful, some had a fire on their hand, some had water bubbles, and some had a small tornado

One that captured my eyes was a woman with green ropes around her with white moonflowers on them. I think I should salute the artist who drew them; all portraits looked so real while some were just glowing pictures.

It looked mesmerizing and funny at the same time CEO's family was humorous

Arnica tapped on my shoulder and asked what I was smiling at.

Nothing, just these pictures are funny and beautiful. CEO's family must be really into fairy tales, and these dogs are super cute.

Hmm I agree but they are not dogs

Then? I asked

Why don't you ask him? she replied in a cheeky way

I turned around and saw the CEO entering, Suddenly atmosphere around me changed, all the people around me stiffened and bowed to him like he was the prince of, I don't know what country

I was very confused! Should I bow as well? I did it anyway
