Enchanted

Chapter 16

The taxis pulled into the double security gates and through the front courtyard. The cars stopped and the occupants were let out.

As security grabbed luggage and the nannies grabbed children, the owners paid the fees. Going up the wide stone steps to the beautiful front door, the Changs went inside.

Ellen gasped, never seeing a house this big before, real life or otherwise.

In the lobby, it was richly yet sparsely decorated. To show off the architecture. Ellen really liked how there was art on the walls and in the walls. Literally in the walls going up the spiral staircase were "holes" where pieces of art sat.

"Shoes off." Marcy reminded everyone.

Everyone took off their shoes and lined them up on a large rug. They also took off their jackets to put into a large hall closet.

Animals came from the winds to greet their owners.

"Go upstairs." Marcy snapped her fingers.

The animals slunk off.

"You'd think they were men..."

Mal raised a brow.

"Come on, babies." She ignored him. "Let's go see your rooms."

The kids cheered.

Everyone went up the steps carefully even though there was a beautiful custom made runner.

On the third floor was the kids' rooms (obviously) and Marcy went to different rooms, showing them their spaces.

The kids loved it.

Xindi hugged her mother happily before going to her rainbow room.

Marcy showed the nannies their wing and both women were very pleased.

Marcy showed the kids' security to their rooms on the second floor by the staircase/elevator. Both men approved.

Diaz and Kev were on the first floor and waited while Maddie and Lisa were being shown their rooms. Maddie liked having a private bath while Lisa was happy Maddie was next door.

Their nannies were on either side of them with their security.

Marcy showed Diaz and Kev to their spaces before going upstairs to show Mal and Ellen the master.

Ellen wondered why they had an entire wing to themselves and was quickly shown why.

To get to the primary suite, there were a pair of double doors that led to a hallway. In that hallway was an alcove. In that alcove was a wet bar. It had a sink, dishwasher and refrigerator with cabinet space.

Going further down the hallway opened up into the bedroom space. The bed was situated in the middle of the wall with a sofa at the end. Both were custom made pieces as no one had a bed that big that they knew.

Across from the bed was a mantle and fireplace with a large screen TV built in. Like with every fireplace in the home, it was wood burning.

Passed the fireplace was a bathroom that closed with pocket doors. It was just as stunning as their bathroom back home but on a grander scale.

The bathtub was big enough to fit ten. It was a built in soaker, jetted tub with different levels in the massive bay window. Candles and crystals were situated all around.

The party shower was also a scented steam shower with two separate shower rain heads and handhelds. There was a bench running along the long side with hand carved cubbyholes in the walls.
