âThis is your home?!â I exclaim as soon as we drive past the iron wreath gate leading to Pearlâs family home.
Iâve always known Pearl comes from a wealthy family. In fact, the Morrigan name is quite famous in the business world. The Morriganâs are a pretty large family and are known for their involvement and success in the textile industry.
Although Pearl has never really shown interest in the family business, sheâs the most likely to inherit the whole thing, especially since her father chose a whole other career path for himself. Pearl, despite not talking about her family often, had briefly mentioned her grandparentsâ blatant disapproval when she decided to open up a yoga studio, but she had done it, anyway.
âNot anymore,â Pearl says quietly, her face taking on a somber expressionâlike this is the last place she wants to be.
Itâs pretty clear that if she had a choice, she wouldnât be here, and judging by the way she insisted I come with her, she doesnât want to be here all by herself. However, I wonder why anyone would not want to spend every second of every day in this paradise.
The family estate unfolds before us, as Pearl and I arrive for her cousinâs sweet sixteen birthday party. Pearlâs grandparents had insisted that every member of the family be present at the event, much to her dismay.
The grandeur of the mansion is nothing short of breathtaking. Tall, elegant columns adorn the entrance, and the sprawling grounds showcase meticulous landscaping, each element a testament to the affluence that envelops this estate.
âWelcome to the family homestead,â Pearl announces with a faint smile, her arm linked with mine as we step out of her Maserati.
I gaze in awe at the sprawling grounds, my eyes drawn to the pristine lawns and manicured gardens that stretch as far as the eye can see. The mansion itself is a grandiose masterpiece, its architecture blending modern luxury with timeless elegance.
âWow, Pearl, this place is incredible,â I express, unable to conceal my admiration.
She smirks, clearly accustomed to the marvel her family's estate tends to elicit. âIt has its charm, doesnât it? Wait until you see the inside.â
Before we make our way in, I pull her back. âAre you okay?â I ask, searching her eyes. âWe can always come up with an excuse if you donât want to be here.â
âTrust me, we canât,â she replies. âIâm just glad I have you here with me. My family can be⦠pretty intense and blunt, so donât take anything they say personally. Just stick by my side and you should be fine.â
That doesnât put my mind at ease, but we keep going anyway.
As we step through the front doors, the opulence continues. A grand staircase ascends to the upper floors, adorned with an ornate chandelier that casts a warm, golden glow throughout the foyer. The walls showcase an array of artwork, each piece a testament to the familyâs appreciation for culture and beauty.
The party is in full swing, the sound of laughter and music filling the air.
