A/N: I apologize in advance for this chapter. I got carried away in trying to describe the house and some of the rooms in as much detail as possible. As a result this chapter will probably be a but drier than the previous ones; but I felt it best to get it out of the way now rather than later.

Chapter 4: Home

'I could do without that horrible night' Fayth thought 'Still I did get what I wanted; and technically no harm was done to me. The only way this could be better is if he awakens believing he was dream-' She interrupted her own train of thought to remember the card she left on the pillow beside his, as well as the fact that he will notice his phone missing two very important components. 'Well maybe it is better he knows who he was attempting to take advantage of last night.'

"...right?"

She snapped out of her thoughts at hearing the last part of the question. Looking up, she hadn't noticed how much time she spent thinking about last night's events. The drive was long and it would take at least another 20 minutes to get to their destination, she sighed inwardly and looked out of the window, watching the other cars zip past them and the quiet of the night fading away to the beginning bustle of the morning.

"Hey are you listening?" Zarudin asked.

"Afraid not..." Fayth said, continually looking out the window.

Zarudin sighed "I asked if they tried to verify who you were last night"

"Yeah; two men who were constantly around Boveri. When I introduced myself they briefly left his side for what I assume is to check my identity."

"And it passed through?"

"Well when they came back they simply nodded, so I would assume so. If not I'm pretty sure that pig wouldn't have been trying to take advantage of me last night"

"Unless he knew and decided that a scandal would cause problems so he played along..."

Fayth looked towards Zarudin's direction. He always was a cautious type; completely opposite of Fayth. She would usually charge head on and not look ahead of the consequences; he, on the other hand, would measure his opponent and plan ahead being sure to leave little room for surprises. But she could not understand why he always insisted on a different reasoning as hers.

"Why do you insist on ruining my fun?" She questioned; flashing a look of annoyance at him.

"I did not intent to supposedly ruin your fun. But you should stop being such a hard head and actually plan ahead for these things" He replied, shaking his head in disapproval of her fight first talk later approach to things.

Fayth scoffed at his reply "Just keep driving" She replied, turning her head back towards the window; watching as the surroundings go from small quiet houses to bigger, more extravagant, mansions.

After a while the car came up to a huge iron gate with tall white brick walls enclosing the property. Zarudin stepped outside of the car and walked towards a keypad/speaker combination that was right next to the gate. He talked for a bit and input a number on the pad, returning to the car while the gates began to open. Ahead was a huge mansion with a fountain at the front, the statute of what appeared to be a mermaid holding a pot from where the water sprayed out of. The car followed the paved path; lined at both sides with rose buses and Japanese maple trees that have been grown in containers. The grass looked very healthy and green; beautifully leveled and maintained. The path looped around the statue and at the middle of the loop there was a pebbled path that led up to the house. The car pulled to a stop; Fayth stepped out of the right side of the car and stared at the huge steps leading up to the mansion.

The house itself seemed to be old; although it had recently been remodeled the history poured out through the walls. Up the 20 steps was a huge double white door; Fayth sighed, turning around to see Zarudin step out and walk to a man, handing him the keys so the car could be parked in the underground parking lot. He walked up the steps and stood next to Fayth as she lifted her hand to ring the doorbell. Both door swung open and a man stood inside, he was middle aged, of a rather short stature, with grey hair and wearing a butlers uniform; he bowed to both Fayth and Zarudin.

"Welcome back Lady Fayth, young man." He said acknowledging both of them.

"Aldo...prepare my bath please; I must get this disgusting scent off me" Fayth said watching the other maids and workers scramble around to finish their chores.

"As you wish my lady" He replied, bowing before turning around and going up the massive stairs.

The house was huge, clearly built with a big family in mind. Walking into the foyer everything was white; the floor made of white marble and the walls painted to match; with big columns lined up leading to the staircase. The room itself big enough for a party for at least a hundred people. Directly ahead was a grand staircase, also white, lined with a red carpet. To the left of the staircase there was a hall that led to two half bathrooms for guests. Further down there was the study that had three computer stations and several bookcases that reached the ceiling, all lined with books, a big gym filled with the most modern equipment known, and a music room filled with all types of instruments. To the right there was a sitting room for guest visits it had couches around three sides of the room, with a big coffee table and a flat screen T.V hanging from the bare side of the room, further down was a dining room for 12 people to comfortably eat with a mini bar at the corner. At the end stood a huge luxurious kitchen with two refrigerators, stoves, ovens, trash compactors, and dishwashers, as well as a corner reserved for 6 people to eat in.

Going up the stairs led to 8 different bedrooms, although no one occupies them now, set up with queen sized beds, two nightstands at either side, a 40" flat screen T.V across from the bed so one could comfortably lie in bed and watch, a chest of drawers, and a dresser with a mirror. The floors were lines with beautifully shined red wood and the walls were white with red wood paneling at the lower half, and spacious walk-in closet located at the left of the room. A huge silver crystal ceiling light hung from the middle. and to the back there were three huge ceiling to floor windows, covered in a thin white lace drapery.

Each bedroom had its own personal bathroom which meant there were also 8 bathrooms. The bathrooms were lined with beige tiles on the floor and walls, halfway up the walls the tiles had a rose design in the middle which seemed to be made of glass. The bathrooms had a hamper in the corner and the sink, with the counters extended a bit to allow room for various things to be left there, as well as for more cabinet space at the bottom for storage. A wide mirror/medicine cabinet hung above the sink. On the other side of the room at the corner was a steam shower and whirlpool bath combo with a steam enclosure; the unit itself looked to cost a mini fortune. It was custom built giving one an impossible amount of options to shower in. Next to it a rack for hanging wet towels, and finally a smart toilet that flushes on its own, with a rack directly above it for one to grab clean folded towels from.

Further up another set of stairs led to three more bedrooms; two were twice the size of the second floor bedrooms, which were already very big in their own right, and the middle room four times as big. Although the furniture, as well as the ceiling light and window positions, in all three rooms were the same as those on the second floor; the only difference being that the bed was a king rather than queen, the T.V is 60" rather than 40", and the addition of a study table. Each bedroom had their own personal bathroom; also bigger than those downstairs, affording more room to extend the counter further and for a slightly bigger sized steam shower and bath combo, being able to seat two very comfortably. The master bedroom had a special addition; instead of three windows there were two at each corner, the middle being a sliding door with led out to a balcony overlooking the back side of the house.

To gain entrance to the backyard one would either go around the house outside, or go out through a door in the kitchen. As soon as one stepped into the backyard a big Grecian pool was in view beyond the steps down, with an inground circular hot tub next to it; surrounded by red bricks around them. Chaise lounges lined on the side of the pool while on the other end a driving board stands; ladders being on each of the four corners. Beyond that there is a big rotunda gazebo, big enough for two people to share a romantic moment. White brick walls enclose the space, discouraging any prying eyes from looking, while huge rose bushes of different colors are lined along the wall enclosure. The house held much history, being a house that has belonged to Fayth's family for generations although Fayth just recently bought it herself.

Fayth and Zarudin began the task of going up the stairs; heading towards the master bedroom, Fayth's bedroom, in silence. To any newcomer the atmosphere would have left them in shock, but they had already been in here countless times so at this point there was really no surprise. They went into Fayth's bedroom while Aldo just made his exit, bowing to them both before leaving. Zarudin sat on the bed and Fayth scooped up the folded jeans, white tank top, and undergarments that sat on the dresser and walked towards the bathroom.

"I wonder if this will end up on the news." Zarudin wondered aloud to Fayth.

"Possibly; although it would hurt his image terribly" She replied from within the bathroom; flinging the big uncomfortable pumps from her feet out the door frame to the bedroom.

"Well remember you DID spike the whole supply; he could claim it to be an attack to the public if he finds out" He countered; watching the dangerously high heeled shoes fly out of the bathroom; landing on the floor with a heavy thud.

"No; imagine if they have to admit that the same 'mystery woman' that has been annoying them for three months now has struck yet again" Fayth replied while trying to shimmy her way out of the tight dress; "The media would make a storm out of it; and it would draw too much attention to them." She finished saying while finally slipping away from the gown. She unclasped her bra and took off her underwear; tossing the three articles outside the bathroom frame.

"Should I call her and tell her to pick up the stuff?" Zarudin asked while watching more clothes being tossed carelessly to the floor.

She scoffed "God; I'm going to hear it this time...She ALWAYS has to shove some type of error in my face! And with what happened last night; she will never drop it." She complained with a hint of anger in her voice. Fayth opened the shower enclosure and got into the tub; closing the screen behind her and sitting down into the warm water that was surrounded by bubbles and the scent of roses and germanium.

"Who can blame her? Every time you do this you are practically begging to be killed" He replied.

"Thanks for your vote of confidence." Fayth said; her tone completely monotone at this point.

"I'll go and call her then." Zarudin concluded; noticing her tone and knowing that she would want to be left alone at this point. He stood up and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

A/N: Again apologies, the next chapters will not be as boring I assure you

Please do not forget to leave some constructive criticism!~ I really hope to gain some feedback on how to improve myself as I keep moving forward~

Until next time!~
