Free Here Comes The Bride by Sadie Grubor, Monica Black

without an heir I would lose the company to the board. They didn't want to be involved in that, so I had to ensure them that an heir was in the works. Hell, I basically told them that their tantrum over the 'conditions' had interrupted the conception of my heir. Lilli would kill me.
    Our return to New York meant we would be going to our new home, the Iverson Mansion.
    "Holy crap!" Lilli exclaimed as we pulled up to the mansion.
    I laughed and she turned to looked at me.
    "This isn’t a house, it’s ridiculous!"
    "It’s just an oversized house." I laughed hard at the expression on her face.
    Once we pulled up to the house and climbed out of the car, I grabbed Lilli’s hand and led her inside.
    "Welcome home."
    "I’m so gonna get lost. Do you have maps?" Her laugh echoed throughout the house and I was surprised at how much I loved the sound.
    "You’ll be fine." Squeezing her hand, "Come on, I’ll show you around," I pulled her behind me.
    We walked to the left of the entry. I showed her to the dining room, the breakfast room, and the kitchen.
    "The kitchen has a back staircase there." I pointed across the kitchen. "Rachel is the cook and she’s on call during the day. She’ll cook all meals, you just need to keep her up to date with the schedule."
    "Schedule?" Lilli looked at me questioningly.
    "Yeah," I motioned to the large black book on the counter. "That’s where you mark if we are having guests, etc. She keeps the menu up to date." Shrugging, I looked back to Lilli.
    "So, I have to keep track of that?" She cocked her eyebrow.
    "I can do it, if you don’t want to." I shrugged again. "Come on. You can meet Rachel tomorrow."
    Walking through the atrium at the back of the kitchen, I showed her the pantry with walk in fridge. After those kitchen features, we walked past the kitchen table and up the back staircase.
    "On this floor there are six guest rooms and each room has its own bathroom." We reached the other end of the long hallway.
    "This is the master suite," I opened the door, "and our bedroom." She stiffened a little.
    I didn’t take her all the way through the master bedroom, knowing we would both be there later when our luggage arrived. Instead, I moved on.
    "This leads to the third floor" I opened the door and lead her up the stairs.
    "I’m am seriously going to get lost," she whined.
    I chuckled.
    "You won’t. You’ll get used to the place." I tugged her down the hallway, "Okay, up here are two smaller bedrooms which share a bathroom and the music room is at the end of the hallway."
    "Music room?" she questioned.
    "Yeah, my piano’s in there and some other musical equipment."
    "Oh," was her reply.
    "Then there is also Rachel’s apartment. She lives here with her son, Alex."
    She nodded.
    "There’s another apartment over the garage. Jay and his wife, Carole, live there. Jay is, well, I guess people would call him the butler, but he’s more like family." She simply nodded again. "Also, Mrs. White is our maid and she has a helper, Kirsten."
    I lead her back down the multiple staircases, returning to the entry way.
    "Now , to the right, we have the formal living room."
    She looked around the room , taking it all in. I proceeded to walk her through the ballroom, study, and attached library.
    " And, this, is the basic living space," Pushing a large set of doors open, I led her into the non-formal living room.
    "Seriously, get me a map." She let go of my hand and walked around.
    "Uh…we aren’t finished."
    She turned to look at me.
    "Yeah, there’s a workout room, along with the steam room, the pool, the theater, and –"
    "The theater?" she choked.
    "Yeah, it’s nothing really. It’s just –"
    "Most people go out to the movie theater , they don’t have them in their house." She laughed.
    "Not u s. We have too many people trying to get a piece of us, of who we are." I sighed. "Trust me, Lilli. There are people that are going to follow your every move, so much more than you’re used to." Taking a
