Romans & histoires Room At The Top Book Review

“You need silence. Control. Not curious stares.” He pushed open a door at the end of the hall the one leading to his private chambers. The room was vast, dimly lit by a fireplace that roared as though it had been waiting for them. The air smelled of pine and smoke, of him. Her pulse skipped. “Killian…” He set her down gently on the bed, his hands lingering at her waist as though reluctant to let go. His gaze raked over her her trembling limbs, her pale lips, the faint glow still radiating from her skin.

I stepped further inside, intending to wait by the couch, but the room's clean aesthetic caught my attention. It was the kind of space that would definitely distract anyone’s attention. Everything in it was deliberate. The wide desk, the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the motorised curtains all made the place look orderly and precise. I couldn’t stop myself from taking in the breathtaking view. The books on the shelf and the system architecture. Then I stopped. My eyes landed on a slim dark volume near the edge of the second shelf. The spine was black with silver lettering. Breach Protocol “D”

--- THE HOTEL ROOM – LATER The room was on the top floor. Floor-to-ceiling windows showed the glittering city below. A king-sized bed with white sheets. Champagne on ice. "Fancy," Valentina said, looking around. "I like nice things." Richard poured her a glass. "Including beautiful women." She took the champagne, their fingers brushing. "You say that to all the girls you pick up in clubs?" "Only the ones who crash into me." She laughed. He laughed. Then the laughter faded.

Still, no response. Taking a shaky breath, I grasped the handle and cautiously pushed the door open. My eyes widened at the sight before me. The room was opulent, a masterpiece of luxury and grandeur. Rich tapestries adorned the walls, gilded furniture shimmered in the soft glow of candlelight, and the polished marble floor reflected the splendor of the space. "Wow," I whispered, stepping inside. "Alpha Ralph must have spent a fortune decorating this place." Carefully setting the tray of food on the table, my gaze wandered across the room. A particular item caught my eye—a book resting on the edge of a grand desk. Its cover featured an elegant painting of a dashing man and a beautiful woman

Lorenzo doesn't do books. A full-body shiver moves through me. I thought the other room was massive, but it doesn't come close to the size of this room. It's dark too. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Tables are pushed to the edge of the room, all surrounding a table in the center of the room. The only item in the room that is lit up by a single overhead light. On this table is a book. It seems to call my name. Lorenzo watches me walk further into the room. I come to the edge of the light and look. My breath gets knocked out of me and my breathing turns shallow.

She said this was where Ares received visitors. Each floor had about ten rooms each with a bathroom inside. We went to the first floor where my room is situated. “That is your room, as you know and beside it is Mr Ares's room. His study is at the far end of his room. There are just two extra rooms on this floor”. Mrs Catherine explained as she pointed. “This is the top floor where we have the library and an indoor recreational center”. She continued as we got to the top floor. The library was really huge and filled with different types of books. The books were all neatly arranged. I fell in love with the library immediately I saw it. It was a little bit dark and had a calming effect on me.

My mouth gawked open as I saw the view. "Oh my... wow! This is.. This has to be a mistake." I said chuckling. The room was amazing. It was like my own loft. Way bigger than my home. As I entered, it had a sitting area with a large, tv mounted on the wall. Huge windows that went from top to floor. Bookcases with endless books and even a private little kitchen. There were two stairs, one by the entrance, and the other stairs were located near the end of the room, leading to more bookcases filled with endless books. The bedroom was on the top part of the room, and a big bathroom was attached to it. And even though most walls were nothing but windows, it still felt pretty private as there was no

If not colder. I swallowed hard and raised my head to see the triplet Alphas sitting leisurely at the center of the room. The room was large. As expected of a place used by Alpha Raviel. There was a large table at the center, which was filled with numerous documents, and on the walls were many maps. There was no spare space on the wall, and a look could make someone dizzy. How could someone feel comfortable sitting amidst so many books? At the east of the room was a long row of books. The entire space was filled with books, and merely looking at the properly arranged books made me feel numb.

Kane didn’t seem bothered by it either, and without a word, he took my hand again and led me toward an elevator at the far end of the room. The doors slid open, and as we stepped in, I could feel the tension from the encounter with Gracie melt away. Kane pressed the button for the top floor, and I found myself more curious than ever. When the doors opened with a soft ding, I stepped out and froze. The room was breathtaking. Tall shelves lined the walls, packed with books that seemed to stretch up toward the heavens. And the ceiling… it was made entirely of glass, revealing the deep, clear sky above. Sunlight streamed through, casting soft, golden light over the room, making the whole space f
