“Okay, so you know how I’ve been looking forever, right? And most of them were either way out of budget or looked like something straight out of a horror movie?” He chuckled. “Yeah, the one with the cracked ceilings and the creepy basement you showed me last week still haunts my dreams.” I rolled my eyes, laughing. “Exactly. But this one—it’s different. The broker sent me pictures and, Nate…” I paused, pressing a hand to my chest, as if to steady the happiness bubbling inside me. “It’s not huge, but it’s perfect. Cozy. There’s this little balcony with a view of the city, and the light in the living room—it’s just beautiful. Warm. It actually feels like a place I could call home.”

By the time the house finally came into view, I nearly forgot how to breathe. It looked less like a home and more like something pulled out of a movie. The building stretched across the landscape, all glass, stone, and impossible wealth. Floor-to-ceiling windows reflected the dark sky while wide stone steps led up to enormous double doors. Do people actually live here? I stared as security guards walked the perimeter, dressed in black suits with earpieces tucked discreetly behind their ears. There were cameras everywhere. Not obvious enough to look ugly. But obvious enough once you started paying attention.

I hear his shocked groan before he rushes in after me. I’m standing in the living room, waiting for the moment when his jaw drops. “Wait.” He turns to me. “This isn’t…this doesn’t look like a trap.” I grin proudly. “Exactly.” The inside of the house looks like a normal living space, with a throw rug in the middle, sparse but clean furniture and a large TV over a decorative fireplace. Jamie frowns. “So, we weren’t walking into a trap?” I shake my head. “Nope. It’s camouflage. Designed to keep scared people like you out. The ones that dare to walk in are quickly taken out by the homeowner hiding just out of sight, before they can take more than a few steps.”

The рlасе ѕtuсk out like a sore thumb amongst the row of wеll-mаіntаіnеd hоuѕеѕ. “I’m ѕоrrу, Iz. Thе house іѕ in a bіt оf a ѕtаtе. Wе don’t rеаllу gеt аnу vіѕіtоrѕ . . .” Hе bluѕhеd and hіѕ еуеѕ dropped dоwn, looking mоrtіfіеd.

Not when everything felt so fragile already. The house itself, as they stepped through the front door, was a breathtaking masterpiece. Walls of glass stretched from floor to ceiling, offering a stunning panoramic view of the ocean, its waves rolling peacefully in the distance. The living room was minimalist yet warm, with gray couches, light wood floors, and soft lighting that gave the entire space a feeling of quiet luxury. A cobblestone pathway led around the house, winding through a garden filled with colorful flowers and greenery that framed the house in natural beauty.

She sat up and roamed her eyes around the living room. Matthias house was a modern mansion which billionaires like him typically lives in. Amber thought it was too big for a single man to live in. The walls were painted white but most of the pieces of furniture were color black. There was also a huge crystal chandelier hanging in the middle of the living area and a white grand piano placed on a corner. "He doesn't even have any picture frames around here or any paintings that would show his family," Amber whispered while walking around the living area like a thief trying to find something she could steal.

She feels like she's just a tramp. “Did you liked your room?” Carson asked. She roamed her eyes once again. The house is very calming with its organic materials used. The wall is made up of bamboo and the windows are made up of glass, the roof is made up of a nipa hut and it has a tiled floor. Everything is minimal. Calming and refreshing. “I love it here.” She smiled before looking out the window. “These window glasses made the scenery beautiful. Look! The water is so clean and clear.”

Mom ordered me. “Mom, you should look out the window before you open the door.” “Oh right. Alright, you take care of it.” I went to the living room and peeked out the window without opening it. The windows in the house are one-way glass windows, so even if we don’t open the window, we can see who’s outside. And the person outside can’t see us. “Mom, what do the people who are buying the house look like?” “Middle-aged man. He said he’s with his wife.”

Talia's attention was captured by the view revealed as the gates opened. A large modern-day house stood some distance from where they were. It was the most beautiful house she'd seen. Even from far it screamed luxury. It's outer walls were either painted black, white or grey. Some of its walls were made of glass and through the glass walls she could see the elegant setting of furniture. She felt anxious not only because she was to meet the man named Cesar but also because she so much wanted to explore the house before her.

Its window is made of jalousie. Amber regained her sight. This house is unique. It just seems to have a well-structured compared to the other houses in the area. "This is the best house here, Miss. But the rent is a little bit expensive." "Let's just choose a cheaper house." Tado looked at her for a moment. He also stared at her for a while as if he is examining her. "This house is the only available, miss. Just stay here. Don't worry, I will lend you money that you can use."
