Jodi glanced out her window, then shot Avery a knowing look. "Told you. A villa."
Avery exhaled, her unease deepening. "We're leaving soon anyway. Why did we have to come here first?" she muttered under her breath.
Before the driver could step out to open the door, she pushed it open herself and stepped onto the gravel driveway, her gaze sweeping over the scene before her.
The private villa was nestled deep within the woods, surrounded by towering trees that swayed gently in the breeze. A long, winding driveway led up to the grand structure, its path lined with antique lanterns that cast a soft, golden glow. The villa itself was a masterpiece of modern and rustic architecture, with sleek glass windows that reflected the moonlight and stone walls that blended seamlessly with nature.
