Chapter 1 Sunny Winter Day

On a bright and sunny winter day as Alyssa Macari was staring out of the balcony window of the room her and her husband share overlooking the city from the Macari's family mansion. She was about to walk out onto the balcony when her husband Noah Macari's Black Maybach pulled in the driveway.

She was excited to see her Husband was home early so she ran down the stairs excitedly to greet her husband Noah when suddenly his sister Nancy Macari stepped out of the study in front of Alyssa in the middle of the stairway and asked her "why are you in a hurry Alyssa?" Before Alyssa could speak the front door opened and Noah walked in with a indifferent look on his face as he looked at his wife Alyssa. Nancy then greeted her brother "Hello Noah, you're home early today. You are always working and busy running The Macari Corporation what bring you home early today"? Noah greeted his sister with a smile and said "Grandpa Zach called me home early to prepare for a dinner for a guest that arrived from abroad. Are you aware of this"?

Alyssa stood there without saying a word but confusion written all over her face. Nancy simply smiled at her brother and shook her head while she shrugged her shoulders. Noah replied to her body gesture with a "mhm" and proceeded towards them. Nancy stepped aside so he could go up the stairs and get ready for this dinner as that must be why he is home early. Noah brushed past Alyssa as if she was not even there and continued up the stairs. Noah turned around and stated

"I have a phone meeting in a little bit so please refrain from interrupting me as this is very important". He did not wait for a reply and continued to their room. His wife stood stunned on the stairway and watched Nancy to proceed back into the study and shut the door. Alyssa thought to herself why would he be home if he had an important meeting but she let it go and proceeded down the stairs. Alyssa was not informed of this special guest and it was not out of the normal treatment she gets from the Macari family. Alyssa was curious as to why Noah was unaware of this guest from abroad but Grandpa Zach called him home early to get ready for this guests arrival. Alyssa was wondering who this guest was and thinking if she should get a gift for this unknown guest, but what would she get if she does not know who is coming the the Macari mansion?

Alyssa thought to herself she can at least go bake some of her famous pastries she learned to bake when she went abroad to France to study for a short while. She gathered all the ingredients needed for her favorite cheese Danish. While she was preparing the cheese Danishes Alyssa got the ovens prepared to bake them. Once Alyssa put the Danish's in the oven she got to work on the other pastries. Soon they were all done and she realized they were done all within an hour and a half and was back to thinking why the Macari family was keeping this guest a secret and she no longer wanted to think about this topic.

Alyssa grabbed a cheese Danish and walked up the stair at the Macari mansion and headed to her and Noah's room to bring Noah a fresh baked cheese Danish for him to try. When Alyssa entered the room her husband Noah Macari just ended a call and was taking off his suit getting ready to hop in the shower. Alyssa said "honey I brought you one of my famous cheese Danish's to try if you would like." Noah hummed a reply. Alyssa watched Noah take his shirt off and stared at his firm chest and biceps then went down to look at his abs and v line. Noah turned around to walk into the bathroom and Alyssa spoke up while walking towards her husband "Noah would you like to spend a little time with me before you shower"? She asked while reaching up towards his defined chest. Noah grabbed her hand and stopped her from touching him and replied aloofly and dull "I think you already know the answer to that". He proceeded to turn away from his wife and walk into their huge walk in shower. Alyssa felt disheartened and stood their watching his perfect figure disappear into their shower.

Alyssa felt the need to get some fresh air and walked out of their room and down the stairs heading out back to the Koi pond. As Alyssa slid the back door open to walk out she felt the cool breeze and thought this would be a good way to clear her mind. Alyssa loved the infinity pool view from the mountain top mansion. After taking in the breathtaking view of the city from this high up she wondered what all these other people below were doing such as picking kids up from school and taking them to activities like dance or sports. she let out a sigh and wondered if she would ever have kids one day. She proceeded to walk to the koi pond to see the fish and listen to the flowing water to calm her mind. Upstairs in the mansion Noah Macari just came out of the shower and was getting dressed in a dark black suit with a nice dark gray undershirt made his dark hazel eyes shone and damp tousled black hair would make any woman stare in awe at him. Noah Macari was wondering who this guest was and why his grandpa Zachary Macari was acting strange about the visitor and would give their name. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a loud shrieking scream coming from out back got everyone's attention and everyone ran out back to see what what was going on.
