Ashely’s POV
Nervous could not be described as what I am feeling right now. Today Xander and I are going to his parents house with the intention of spending the weekend over there. I honestly don’t know how to feel about it.
I am afraid of what might be his parents' reaction when they see me. Honestly speaking, I am not ready to meet his parents yet but Xander didn’t even give me a chance to say no.
Right now we are on our way to his parents house. Denver is driving. Both Xander and I are seated in the back seat. Xander is busy working on his system and has not lifted his head up since the journey started. As for me, I put my head out the window and kept looking at the trees we were passing by. When I got bored, I played games on my phone.
After driving for about five hours, we arrive in front of an iron double gate. Two men both wearing black outfit with black glasses and also holding guns in their hands were standing at the side of the door. One of them came closer and when he saw that it’s Xander inside the car, he signaled on the man who pressed a button close to the gates and the gates automatically opened themselves and drove into a huge driveway. Both sides of the driveway are covered with long trees.
We soon reach the end of the driveway which opens up to a huge Manson . The building is a three story building and the walls are covered with stones which are in a pattern.
Denver parked the car in front of the entrance of the building. Xander closed his laptop and we alighted from the car.
“Let’s go in!.” Xander said and moved to the entrance of the building.
“What about our luggage?” I asked him.
“Someone will bring it in.” Xander answered without looking at me. He went ahead and pressed the doorbell of the house and a minute later a lady wearing a maid uniform appeared.
“Welcome sir!” She genuflected.
“Thank you Doris, get someone to help you offload our luggage from the car. Take it to my wing.” Xander Instructed and the lady went back into the house.
“Are you going to just stand there or are we going to enter?.” Xander asked me and he turn to look at me. I didn’t even realize I was still at the exact spot I am standing ever since I came out of the car.
As I took steps closer to Xander, my heart was beating as if it would fall out.
This is it! I am about to meet the parents in a few minutes.
“Relax, nobody is going to kill you!.” Xander said once I stood close to him.
“I can’t help it. What if you parents dislike me?.” I voiced out what has been on my mind since he announced that we will be visiting his parents.
“I am hundred percent sure they like you. So please stop looking like a chicken that is about to be slaughtered!”. Xander said and with that he pulled me into the house.
The house opens up to a double Royal stairs. The staircase are made of gold while a huge Crystal bulb is hang up on the mirror. On the walls where expensive paintings. Everything screams wealth.
Xander didn’t allow me to finish enjoying the beauty of the room before he pulled into the room.
The room he pulled me is is a lounge room and two people were seating there and watching television. The butterflies in my stomach increased by hundred and I started to feel like fainting.
“Mom! Dad!” Xander called to get their attention. Both of the people stood up and came closer to us. The man looks like an older version and of Xander. It’s amazing how all the men in this house look alike.
“Welcome son.! It’s good that you finally decided to Grace us with your presence!.” Xander’s father sarcastically said.
“O come on dad. It’s not as if I didn’t want to come, I was actually very busy! You know I run both the mafia and the company both at once!” Xander defended himself.
“I know, son. If only that stupid brother of yours refuse to join the family business, things would have been easier for you!.” Xander’s dad lamented. It seems he is not proud of Chase's achievement then. Although every normal person should be. I mean Chase is the best NBA player we got in the country.
“Dad just left him to follow his dreams. Anyway, Dad, mom this is my wife Ashely! These are my parents.” Xander finally introduced me after ignoring my existence.
“Welcome into the family Ashely! And please call me by my name Lucas!.” Xander's father said with a sincere smile on his face.
“Thank you sir, sorry I mean Lucas!.” I nervously said. I can’t believe I am calling the ex don of a mafia organization with his name.
“At first I thought the ladies had gone invisible. It’s nice to know that you actually saw us!.” Xander’s mom frowns and holds her arms on her chest.
“Darling..”
“Mom….”
Xander and his father started to defend themselves before they were cut off.
“Save your explanation ti yourself and as for you what do you what from my son?.” Xander’s mom stared at me . I don't like how is looking at me now. It’s as if she is trying to see if I am worthy of her son or not. I grip on Xander’s hand tightly not knowing what to reply.
“Mom, stop it!.” Xander cautioned his mom.
“Why should I? I have the right to question the woman my son married because for all we know, she might be a gold digger.!” Xander’s mother stated while still glaring at me.
