When Belle returned back to the room where Mrs. Whitaker stared at her while seated at the desk, she walked towards the chair and took her seat again to tell her, "I finished my break." "Miss Belle," said her governess who looked angry right now. Pushing the glasses back that she wore, the woman started to pack her things around along with the books and quill she had brought along with her, "I don't think you understand the seriousness of life, do you?" The young vampiress didn't know what Mrs.…

Hearing the creak on the couch, her imagination started to go wild and before anything could happen, Belle stepped in the light where everyone could see her. The women here included her mother, her aunt Irene, Olivia, and Mrs. Harriet who lived not too far away from where Adams' mansion was located. Lady Olivia had her body leaned towards Lucas who sat facing her and her fingernails dug further into the palms of her hands. She didn't know why Lucas was playing along. The woman wore a silk dress that…

When Belle was a young girl, it was her mother who was opposed to the idea of having a governess in the house. It was because of the number of betrayal and distrust that went by people during a period of time. And now her very own mother had hired a governess when Belle was not having an issue with the butler teaching her. It wasn't that she wouldn't be able to see him as he would still be in the mansion but something just didn't feel right about it right now. Belle was a bit on the trouble-making side…

Lucas stared at the pocket watch that he held in his hand. The pocket was no ordinary watch but it was something that was used to denote a person's time of death. He had pulled it out because he was very familiar with the wound that had appeared on the woman's body. To a living person, it would have not been visible and it included the reapers but during the rarest cases, a grim reaper could notice the bruise on the skin that denoted that the person's time was coming to an end. It was a watch that he…

When Lucas left the room and closed the door behind him, she heard the door click. Belle quickly scattered away from her bed and went to stand in front of the bathroom mirror to see her lips and the color of the face looked as if she was standing out in the snow for hours. Her hand reached up to touch the skin on her face. The mirror threw her reflection back at her and she saw the way her dried-up face was bringing back the color as if blood was finally flowing in her veins and throughout her entire…

Belle opened her eyes that felt heavy right now. It took her a couple of blinks for her vision to clear and when she finally noticed where she was. She was surrounded by trees. A lot of trees making her believe she was in a forest right now but how? A few seconds ago she was in her room, waiting for Lucas to open the gift box but here she was now, all alone standing in the middle of the forest which she had no clue about where exactly she was. The forest was cold enough to bite into her skin making her…

Two days had passed and Belle didn't exchange a word with Lucas. It wasn't that she was upset but after what she had seen and the way he had shown an indifference of attitude, she came to really think that the man truly possessed a cold heart. She sighed while sitting with her friend Pauline in the room. Calling the girl her friend was far fetched but she was someone Belle spent her time with. She was someone sane she could get along with. "Yes. I must have slept less last night," she made up a reason…

"The woman appears to be in trouble. We need to help her," Belle said to have the butler stare at her. She tried to pull her arm away from him but his grip on her was strong and her words came slow, "You don't want to help her..." "You and I both are not going to do it. We need to go home and we are running late," Lucas said to her but Belle was stubborn with it. "She needs our help...Why not?" Belle demanded an answer. She knew her butler was a cold-hearted man but the woman genuinely appeared to be…

Belle had a wide smile as the carriage door closed. A sweeter smile because of the company. Not because of how her new change in emotion towards him but to Belle, after her parents Lucas was the most important person in the world. Having grown up looking up at him and listening to most of his words as she grew up, she enjoyed his company. Where others were wary about him and his presence, Belle didn't mind it. After all, it was Lucas, someone who had listened to her complaints, cries, seen her laugh, and…

After what Belle heard her mother and her aunt Irene speak about the society gossip that was making rounds along with nitpicking Belle's habit with the subtle hint of keeping the butler at a distance, she wanted to ask him something. Lucas paused his steps and then turned to look at Belle, "Is there something you want to ask?" Belle wondered how he knew that she wanted to ask him right now. She wondered if it was because he had seen her grown up where he got to read her like the back of his hand. She…
