Dark wood floors gleamed under my boots, full-height Georgian paneling painted deep green-black, giving the room it’s moody, dramatic appearance that Maria loved so much. Her favourite perfume bottle with rose and amber lined the dresser, next to her scarf, an old lipstick tube. The air still held her scent. “Maria loves me,” I murmured, fingers brushing her scarf’s silk edge. “She always has.” I uncapped a perfume bottle, inhaling deeply, it was still smelling like winter nights when she was mine.

The black pieces held a deep, satin sheen. The workmanship alone spoke to its exceptional quality.

The grand foyer stretched before me, a masterpiece of timeless elegance and quiet opulence. The floors were polished marble, smooth and gleaming beneath my feet, reflecting the soft glow of the golden chandelier hanging above. High ceilings made the space feel impossibly vast, and intricate crown moldings framed the room with refined detail. A sweeping staircase curved to the second floor, its railing carved from dark mahogany, polished to perfection. The scent of leather, wood, and something distinctly Marco—masculine and expensive—filled the air.

It was just another night for him. Isn’t it his best friend’s birthday party? Shouldn’t he at least be a little lively? He even came empty handed.

Something you use without thinking about it.” I smiled. “Arthur would love that. Practical. No fuss.” The associate mentioned it was hand-stitched in Italy, vegetable-tanned, lined in suede, produced in a limited run each year.

Asides the smell, the suite is the definition of high-end, tasteful luxury. Miles of blindingly shiny marble stretch as far as the eyes can see. A grand piano sits in the corner, untouched. One part of the wall is a fish tank filled with exotic, beautiful species of aquatic creatures.

In the center, an elaborate medallion design is inlaid, drawing the eye and adding a touch of artistry to the already lavish setting.

The sconces beside each painting cast a soft, ambient light, illuminating the dark wood paneling that lines the walls and lends an air of timeless elegance.
