-Eleonora-

Home sweet home or should I say home unknown home because I am for the 213th time lost in this big ass lifeless apartment.

Our sweet 'honeymoon' ended... I was getting used to go meet the animals I finally found something to find and then we went away it got me a bit frustrated but I knew it was coming.

The day were the same sort of a loop, I would wake up with him leaving the bedroom I would have breakfast, go hangout with Benjamin or Mason they would teach me some things about animals and the story of that place, things about the mountains ant the green pasture, the flowers and the lake. I would have lunch outside with them, I got to know every single one of the workers there they were very friendly besides Albert who seemed to have something against me. I would go inside around 7 pm I would have dinner and head back to the bedroom to slepp. In 7 days this was my routine. Very romantic wasn't it? We weren't there for that either so, at least I had fun and he wasn't being bored and emotionless like he always is, or maybe he was didn't really know because I would never see him.

We got to our 'house' today I should correct myself to an apartment sweet apartment. Turns out Blazed lived in a lifeless apartment just like I though.

The maid, the only maid in the apartment was the one showing me around, and I was having a headache at the amount of white and black this house had. It was so lifeless and monotone it didn't looked like someone live here.

The main door was the elevator because this was a penthouse. Don't get me wrong I love the idea of penthouses but penthouse that looked like home.

This house- may I call it that? A house? - whatever, this so called house was so monotone like Blaze's emotions really portraited him well.

The first thing you see when the elevator doors open is the living room with white floors, white couches, and white tables there weren't any, carpets, plants, pictures, or small decorations just white or black furniture it depending on which room of the house you were in.

I was now in a white hallway, I just lost Dorothy, the maid. I took the chance to open the doors finding boring rooms and boring bathrooms. I called Dorothy to help me "Dorothy? Dorothy?"

Do I have to give her red sparkly heels for her to show up? Or maybe click my shoes?

In all honesty, she does seem a very nice lady, I blame my sarcastic personality for always taking things lightly

"Miss Maxwell?" I heard her scratched voice, I ran to the sound finding the small women, I hugged her tightly

"Oh thank God! Dorothy I got lost in this massive maze"

She laughed at my behavior " I wonder how such a carefree and funny soul ended up with Mr. Maxwell"

"I'm still figuring that out too" I mumbled but not as low as I though because she laughed at me, shaking her head she grabbed my hand and guided me to the living room.

" Thank you Dorothy" I said again, she tapped my hand and gave me a reasure smile . I walked to the living room and watched Blaze talk to Connor and his bodyguards, he was dressed in one of his million suits like always I had never seen that man with something else dressed.

My mission was to survive the last 1087 days of marriage left meanwhile I had made some side quests apart to also do, like discovering more about his family something that has made me insanely curious, and make him angry it was constantly a side quest that I loved to accomplish.

"Miss Davis thank you for showing Eleonora around" he said once he noticed us back in the room, she nodded her head and made her way to the kitchen. I saw the bodyguards leaving with Connor and I tilted my head in curiosity... Isn't he going?

I watched him say his sort of goodbyes to Connor and turned himself to me, walking with both his hands on the pockets of his pants, with that smug annoying posture, once near me he made a sign with his head mentioning to following him making me roll my eyes automatically, like a dog I was behind him waiting to see what he wanted, he stopped at the hallway and he opened a door, the master bedroom, or should I say his bedroom.

"This is my bedroom" he announced

"Dorothy already introduced me" I informed he walked till the other side of the bed still with his hands on his pockets "at least is not all white "

"White reflects the light, makes the room bright and bigger"

"It's boring" I mentioned

"We need some rules" he urged, why am I surprised? This man was like a control freak with rules and conditions, although I suggested the contract in the first place he always finds a way to make things worse, if he was a normal human being things were moderately bad but him...He managed to make things more strict and utterly ominous than was imaginable. Even to me. And I don't want to brag but my imagination is very productive.

"More?" I questioned walking to the bathroom and analyzing it, Dorothy showed me the rooms in hurry opening the door and closing it right away. So I was taking my time looking at everything.

"Yes. About the bedrooms" he said whWhile I watched the huge marble sink, I didn't have responded knowing he would continue "You'll have yours, and I will have mine yet you need to place your things here in the closet" I looked at the other luxury closet with black glass doors, I walked till there looking at the empty drawers and the dressers in the middle of the closet, half of them had ties and watches and half were empty I smirked imagining all the purses and shoes that could fit in here though I didn't have that many to storage here, I brought all the stuff I mostly used the other half that my mom liked she kept it the other part she gave to people that needed.

"You will sleep here on Fridays to Saturdays and Tuesdays to Wednesdays those are the days Dorothy and the other maid come earlier to clean so it makes it crucial for you to sleep here those nights. The other days you will sleep on the room on the other side, the one at the end of the corridor." he explained I nodded taking in all of this new information, not exactly new I remember parts of this in that contract of his.

"You will stick around the house, don't mess around and don't give Dorothy any trouble!" he stated

"I am not a child" I notified them while rolling my eyes, he walked around near the black king-sized bed, oh did I mention that everything was black in this room? So fun...

"You keep saying that but your actions tell me the opposite" I watched him look at his bed his head bent down watching his feet and he started to walk to the door "Have your fun around the house" he left without saying another word

Wait? Around the house? I quickly followed him he walked fast by the time I catches him up he was already in the living room/kitchen, there wasn't a wall dividing both rooms I watched him taking a mug that Dorothy gave him.

"What do you mean around the house?" I said catching his attention, I could see his grey eyes glance me while he drank from the mug.

He calmly lowered the mug stopping it in front of his chest, his enormous watch popping up from that grey suit "I mean you will stay here, pass your days here"

I gave a small sarcastic laugh hoping he was joking with me right now "What will I do? Be a plant? Just exist... Making sure to do the photosynthesis?"

"Can you do that? Won't that be to much work for you?" he said while putting the mug on the counter, Dorothy took it right away and the sound of water was heard meaning she was cleaning it

"I'm not just existing here... I want to work preferably in my department with my people" I said with deathly eyes, gosh sometimes I just wished to grab his neck and-

Breath, positive thoughts...

"We agreed you wouldn't, plus I don't trust you to work on my company."

I tried to breath controlling my angry thoughts plus Dorothy was in the house making her a witness to my aggressive murder.

"I want to work. I am specialized in publishing and marketing and I love what I do and in fact I'm very good at it so you're company is losing potential..." I justified

"Maybe, maybe not. I don't really care... Have fun" he said leaving to the elevator making me throw a pillows at the doors when they closed.

I punched the other pillows in sofa angry for this stupid decision of his, what am I going to do in here? I feel like Rapunzel but with a whole different plot. I pouted looking at the fireplace.

"Is something bothering you Miss?" I heard Dorothy ask, I'm pretty sure she didn't hear our argument because she was washing the dishes

"What will I do in this big house Dorothy?" I questioned looking at the old woman, she had rosy cheeks a pair of glasses and a warm smile

"I see you're bored Mrs.Maxwell"

"Eleonora please" I plead her. Hell yeah I'm bored...almost as bored as this house

Suddenly the little lamp on my brain light up, I smirked with evilness... I just had a wonderful idea. "Doroty how do.you feel about shopping?"

She looked at me with a frown not getting what I said yet I knew exactly where we were going...

Blaze

My back hurt and my eyes were tired being on the office again after a week is a lot to take in, a lot of meeting that were schedule up and documents to review, papers to sig, all things I couldn't do from a distance. I was in the elevator I rubbed my head in tiredness as if my hand would take that annoying headache, the elevator rang in sign that I was finally home, I looked at my feet taking steps forward taking them off as soon as I feel the beige carpet.

Beige? I took of my coat placing it on the white small couch... Near the big couch with beige and grey pillows? Pillows? I walked to the kitchen to grab a cup of water but when I looked up the whole wall looked like wood... Manufactured wood, not wallpaper but a fake layer of different types of wood on my previous white wall. The living room table was now of glass and the chairs around it beige, there were plants on the kitchen counter and some weird rocks over the center table... did I entered the wrong house?

I walked to the hallway, where it had a painting of simple brushes in a brownish tone at the end of the hallway another plant but this one was fake I looked to my right watching the rest of the hallway... If this wasn't my house it sure did looked a lot like it... What the hell happened here?

"Mr.Maxwell you're home" I heard Dorothy say while climbing down the stairs I quickly got near her trying to control my breath hoping she would explain what in the living hell happened to my house "What do you wish to eat sir?" She calmly said moving to the kitchen

I took a deep breath and asked her "Dorothy what happened here?"

"To what sir?" she asked looking at me with innocent eyes

"This Dorothy!" I said grabbing one plant from the kitchen counter "What is this?"

"Rosemary sir. I used it in a lot of cooking Miss Eleonora had a great idea placing plants that would make use here in the kitchen" she said smiling

Eleonora? I knew this was that woman's doing.

"Eleonora?" I shouted trough the house holding on to the rosemary, Dorothy looked at me with a strange look. I knew what she was seeing and it wasn't pretty, I was starting to get angrier and angrier at this nosy intolerable creature.

"Yes dear? Are you home?" I heard her voice from upstairs, I heard her steps climbing down the stairs making my bitterness grow at every step.

She reached down the stairs and with a smug smile looked at me " Want to have dinner together?" she said walking to us "Oh I see you found the rosemary I put... Gives a great sense and it's very used in the kitchen Dorothy loved the idea, right?" she asked making Dorothy nod happily

"I was very impressed at Miss Eleonora idea. She then told me she knew a thing or two about cooking" Dorothy told while smiling probably remembering that moment

"I see you had a nice day" I commented looking at Eleonora with angry eyes

"Wonderful" she smiled, glancing at me with her chocolate eyes "we had lots of fun"

"I see that" my eyes seemed stuck on her with some effort I advert them to Dorothy "You know what? I bet you had a tiring day. You should head home Mrs.Davis I will prepare something for my wife and I, turns out it is our first night in our house" I said with a smile on emphasizing the word our

Dorothy made a surprised face, her eyebrows raised and her eyes widen "oh I see. Well if that's your order sir, I'll leave then" she said making me nod she rapidly understood walking to the door she stooped when she was on the other side of the counter in front of me, behind her Eleonora "It's not my place to say it but you have found a splendid wife sir, different from everyone who passed on this house" she gave me a sweet smile and stretched herself to place a hand on my face, gave soft taps of reasurement "you chose well" with that she left grabbing her coat and bag.

She walked in the elevator waving at us a bigger smile when she looked at Eleonora, I raised an eyebrow at how easily this woman would convince everyone, I was the only one who knew her true and awfully colors. She was rude, nosy, loud, and spoiled.

I watched the doors closed and when the elevator rang making a sign it was descending I finally took a look at her.
"What the hell did you do?" I asked putting the vase down

"Decorating? Thought it was obvious. The house was so boring " she said shrugging her shoulders while moving around the kitchen counter so I followed her

"I though I was explicit about you touching my things. This is my house!"
I informed while I was following her we moved in perfect synchrony she was always in front of me on the other side of the counter

"Let me correct you there honey!" she said in a mocking tone "Our house. It's ours...not yours, not mine, ours." she mentioned while gesturing with her finger her possession or should I say ours.

"I want this all removed tomorrow! I am not playing!" I said in a louder tone

She simply shrugged her shoulders not bored at all "Fine! I will take it all tomorrow"

I breathed in relieved thinking she gathered some sense in her mind "But I will just redo it the day after...maybe change the style, like a retro style, something with a 60's vibe into it"

I clenched my hand into the contour "Don't threat me"

"You know I will just do it again..."

"You will put the house right back to how it was...this feels all so..."

"Comfortable? Actually it feels like a home probably for the first time it was all plain and white and black freaking boring" she mentioned

"It was all in place, everything was perfectly placed in their specific places with the right colors"

"You are such a control freak. " she said rolling her eyes "you want that boring ass-looking house fine you can have it but I want my job back" She said raising an eyebrow, I sighed in almost like a laugh, so this was all about that working? Wow she keeps adding points to her insanity

"I am not putting you in my company" I remarked, was she crazy? Why am I asking of course she is! I am not giving her a job out nowhere just because she wants to I treat my work very seriously to just give her whatever she wants.

"You are " she stated as if it was a fact "Because otherwise you'll get home to a different decoration everytime"

Her eyes weren't leaving mine, her threats clear, making me out of options she knew very well how to negotiate. I have nothing else that she might want to negotiate with her. I let out a frustrated sigh "I will give you a job"

"Not so easily" she said stopping in her tracks "Not any job. The job I want"She really wasn't dumb at least in negotiating way better than her father.

"What job?"

"Executive of my Department... Publishing and Marketing" she wanted to work with her previous employees

"I can't give you that, there's already an Executive I can't simply take his job"

"You are the CEO for some reason aren't you? I know you're a big boy and you can rule things around so make use of that title of yours" she spoke out

"I can't simply fire him"

"Make him Vice Executive I don't care work it out"

"I just can't lower someone's position"

"Well he's not your personal interior designer... So think rigorously about it"

I didn't have much to deal with right now, she knew I was perfectly capable of doing that yet my pride was telling me to continue with this stupid decorative idea just so she couldn't have it her way, yet I knew that this was rather amusing to her and I simply didn't want to her that pleasure every single day when I arrived him to a different styled apartment. "Fine, considered it done"

"I just did!" she smiled her dimples showing "I'll start tomorrow" she said walking to the stairs

"What about the removal?" I mentioned to every single thing she placed in my house making it unrecognizable

"I'm pretty sure you can work something out" she said climbing up the stairs "oh that's right" she said stopping in the middle of the wooden stairs cocking her head to take a look at me still near the kitchen counter "I ordered Chinese for me, you can do something for yourself right, hun?" she smirked leaving my blood boiling, this woman will be the death of me.
