A Love Trap

Entering the large living room, Ashley looked around silently. When she visited the villa last time, her mind was occupied with something else, so she didn't pay that much attention to the house and just put the idea on the back of her mind.

However, this time, Ashley thought she might live here for quite a long period, so she checked on everything carefully.

The decorations were modern and simple. The house itself was dignified but not restrained, luxurious but not extravagant. All kinds of furniture were displayed in the living room, but the way they sparkled with light made Ashley assume that almost all the pieces of stuff were brand new and had never been used before. She wasn't sure though if she had guessed it wrong.

A gloomy atmosphere was cast upon the walls as they were painted black and white with heavy draperies hung by the window. A surge of nostalgia crept through Ashley, for she was used to her small warm room. Being at the vast and lonely villa made her think that it was such a monotonous and huge place to live.

When she reached the bedroom, she looked lazily at the empty room and thought something was not right here and there, and everywhere in the house. All of a sudden, she felt uncomfortable.

Looking around, she had come to realize that the style of the bedroom was similar to that of the living room.

A large white floppy bed was in the middle of the room, but it didn't look strange because the room was spacious.

On the right of the bed was a desk, which was just the right size to hold the bedside lamp. Maybe Andrew put it there on purpose because he needed to check some files occasionally.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Ashley put her suitcase beside the desk. Johnny sent her to the villa, but the host hadn't come back yet, so she thought it would be impolite to use anything without his consent.

With an absent mind, Ashley seemed to have forgotten that she was married to Andrew, and as the hostess of the house, she had no reason to think it was impolite after all.

On the left of the bed was a big French window. Through the window, she could see clearly what was happening outside the house. Peeking through, Ashley noticed a large flower nursery just under the window.

The camellias were in full bloom inside the nursery. The big white flowers and green leaves were very attractive and pleasant to the eye.

In an instant, at the look of the flowers, Ashley had fallen in love with the house. Gone was her feeling of remorse earlier.

Observing the place further, Ashley saw that there was also a huge swimming pool beside the flower nursery. The deck chairs and tables were arranged around the swimming pool. Everything was prepared, clean and neat. One could enjoy the sunshine while lying on the deck chair or do anything as he liked in the large pool. From the amenities and the annexes, it could be reckoned that the owner of the house knew how to enjoy life.
