Chapter 2

The limo took Colton and Marlee to an impressive looking restaurant where he ordered for both of them. Plates and plates of beautiful, inventive looking, food creations were served to them. They ate their fill of perfectly steamed vegetables with smoked salmon, vibrantly colored rice and pasta, and desserts that were to die for.

They rode in style to the other side of town. The pair got out in front of another towering ultramodern skyscraper of steel, concrete, and glass.

Colton took hold of Marlee’s suitcase, and they strode into the lobby.

She was taken aback by the place. The interior was unbelievably lavish in its design.

Colton, unfazed by the spectacular building that he simply called home, held the elevator door for her and pressed the button for the twenty-seventh floor.

The elevator opened in the carpeted hallway outside a single locked door. He opened it with his key device and waved Marlee inside.

To her surprise, she found herself in a huge garden. Palm trees and other exotic, green feather-like plants grew toward a high glass ceiling, and a little stream flowed over a rocky waterfall next to the platform on which she stood. Koy darted in a pool next to her feet, and flowering fuchsias and orchids drooped all around her head.

Marlee stopped in her tracks. “What is this place?”

Colton laughed. “This is my apartment. Come on. I’ll show you to your room, and you can make yourself comfortable.”

She followed as he walked away down a marble bridge crossing the stream.

The tiles turned into a curving atrium rising into the sky. Marlee couldn’t see the top of it, but a beam of daylight streamed down from above.

He turned aside into a hall cutting sideways. “This is the guest wing.”

The hall ended in a huge bedroom suite. Marlee never saw a bed bigger than the one standing on a raised dais in the center. Sheer silk embroidered Gauzy curtains surrounded it, and tall windows shed more light into the place.

A curved glass wall separated the bathroom suite from the main room.

Marlee just caught sight of an overflowing tub of steaming water. Trimmed trees and ferns surrounded it, and grey stone pebbles across the floor made it look like a forest hideaway. Across the room from the bed, a kitchenette hugged one wall. A glass-fronted fridge and freezer sat next to the stainless steel sink. She froze. “You don’t seriously expect me to stay in a place like this, do you?”

Colton shrugged. “You don’t have to stay here if you don’t want to. You can sleep on the couch if you prefer.”

She cringed. “I hate to ask even what kind of living room couch that would be!” She laughed

“This is just my guest bedroom. Come on. I’ll show you around the rest of the place.” He parked her suitcase next to the bed.

Still stunned, she followed him out of the so- called guest bedroom.

Back down the hall, he turned a different way off the atrium. Already Marlee started to lose her way in this massive apartment.
