Cassandra POV.

  As Kai left the room, I took the surrounding in. When we opened the door, two couches were on either side of a small black glass desk. Then the wall behind it what's a long tinted glass window. This room was modern.

  On the left was a fireplace with a painting of the town, and on the right was a large bed with black silk sheets and burgundy silk pillowcases. The girl in me wanted to jump on the bed, but then my brain told me that it was probably Kai's bed.

   "So, we share a room?" I asked Miss Dawson.

   "Well, honey, considering you're now married, it makes only sense to act like it."

   "I guess you're right. I don't like women though Miss Dawson."

   The room was quiet for a few minutes while I continued to look around the room. There was two small nightstands on either side of the bed, but both of them were empty. I walked toward the fire place and stared into the fire from the floor.

  "Well, if you touch the painting on the bottom right corner the bookcase in the corner there pops open so you can enter the private study. Then the doors on either side of the bed there will lead you into a walk-in closet followed by the bathroom. It is quite unique." Miss Dawson chose to ignore my comment from earlier.

   I entered the study and was amazed to see the key right on top with a small note for me. The note read: For Cassandra Braxton with great apologies and sincere beginnings. I smiled slightly and took the key into my palm. I sat down in the big chair and stared into the fire place. However, I could see through the fire and into the bedroom.

   Before I could even speak Miss Dawson responded "you can never be too safes person should always have themselves and their family set straight. On the TV behind you, you also have access to the security cameras outside of the property, but don't worry none are inside the house unless you permit it."

  "Why do I have to permit anything?"

   "Because Mrs. Braxton, you are now the lady of the house."

    "Isn't Kai a lady also?"

   "Well, biologically yes, but she is the sole heir of the late Mr. Braxton's empire, so she inherits the responsibilities of business and since you married into this family you injury the responsibilities of the house."

   "So what now? She makes me cook and clean for her??" I scoffed and Miss Dawson chuckled.

   "No ma'am. You have me and Carl to keep those duties in tact. You oversee the staff. Plan the events. Give to charity. Dictate your needs and we fulfill your demands. If you want a bigger pool, we build a bigger pull. If you want a new kitchen set we will find a new kitchen set, but with kindness and honor you will gain the most respect."

  "Kai doesn't have kindness or honor." I stated as I stated into Miss Dawson's soft eyes.

   "I know this may be new to you, but how can you judge a person you hardly know? I understand you might not be into girls, but until you embrace it how would you even know? Isn't trying more important? Please excuse me I have to get ready for your dinner. The maids will send you up a dress shortly, please wear it."

   Great, now I feel like the bad guy. I sighed and slouched in the chair. I hid the key behind the tv and returned to the smaller desk in the middle of our room.
