Da Silva's Bride
Mela Brown
Chapter 4
Amanda stared at his house clearly amazed.The walls weren't hung with stern portraits of ancestors.Instead,there were modern works of art which she guessed weren't copies.
Despite herself she asked,a little breathlessly as she tried to keep up with her long gown."Is this your family home?"
Xavier waited at the top of the stairs, hands in his pockets and looking so devastatingly handsome that Amanda had to cling onto the banister.
He shook his head."No.My family occupies one of our villa downtown,I bought this about eight years ago"
