That afternoon, I left the cottage and went for some swimming in the small river outside the bedroom window. When I got there, I took off my dress, revealing my red bikini, and standing on one of the rocks, I dived into the river.It is the coldest river I have ever swam in and the fact that it is rarely used makes it even more welcoming to the body.Excitedly, I got out of it, climbed the rocks and dived in again, and I repeated the exercise until I was sure that I was out of energy.The feeling is heavenly. Here, I do not have to worry about anything at all, and the world could go to hell for all I care. I did not think of Logan D’Nores, and I did not think of Samuel too. If the river is this freeing, I wonder what the field holds, and I cannot wait for evening to come, when the sun is down, and then I can take the basket I saw earlier in the cabinet with me…just to see if I can pluck some flowers.I have never been a girl who is enchanted by flowers, although I have the one I reall

Later that evening, Logan insisted on accompanying me to the field. Anyway, as long as I am able to go, it is fine with me. He can decide to bodyguard me the whole time here, but I really don’t care.“How come you don’t know how to throw one or two things into a cooking pot and make a food?” Logan asked as we walked leisurely, just enjoying nature.I shrugged, “I guess I never really learned. My mother used to do the cooking before she and my Papa passed, and after they died, Samuel just sort of took over from her.”I noticed a twitch in Logan’s jaw. Good, let him be uncomfortable around the mention of Samuel’s name. I almost asked immediately why he killed the only family I have left, but the words got stuck in my tongue, which is cool because asking Logan questions like that may trigger things that will be too much for me to handle.I sighed, there is really no need to rush with whatever I am doing especially with what I found in the files left on the table. Finally, I have found my

The moment we arrived at the mansion, Logan barked orders at everyone, changed into another shirt and black trousers and zoomed out. I was told by the staff that Leah is away on vacation, which means that it is just me and the maids until whenever Logan decides to return back.“Welcome home, ma’am,” the house cleaner greeted as she took my luggage upstairs. At first, I was confused as to whom is being called ‘ma’am’ because it is quite strange to my ears. I am only twenty-one for heaven’s sake, and this woman is way older than me, more like an old aunty or something.I expect that I would be taken to my room, but I am shocked that the house cleaner takes me Logan’s room. “Excuse me, but this is not my…”The woman chuckled, “You are the master’s wife now, ma’am, so I was requested to take your things into his room whenever you return home.”Share a room with Logan? Share a room with a man as murderous as D’Nores? My heart almost jumped out of my chest. “Are you sure?” I asked.“Yes

There are things I am looking forward to achieving, but they will take extra time and proper planning, but for now, I have decided to rearrange the room to my taste. And so the whole morning, I locked myself in and made a lot of changes.From the dressing table, to the nightstand, to the curtains and bed positions, including the bedroom couch. At some point, I was tempted to call the assistance of the house cleaner, but after yesterday’s episode, she had been watching her steps around me, which is quite cool, because she is too chatty for my comfort.When she came knocking hours later and I opened the door to her, she gasped in shock. “What have you done, ma’am?!” she yelled, aghast at what she is seeing.“What?” I asked her, feigning ignorance.She brushed past me and entered the room, her hands flying to her chest as though I have created the worst chaos the world has ever seen. “Master Logan does not want his things turned upside down!” She exclaimed.I shrugged, unbothered by the

I was woken up by Logan’s loud screams.“How the fuck did this happen?!” he was asking the house cleaner right outside the room.“It is all her idea, sir…the new ma’am.” The house keeper was trying to explain.“Who asked her to move into my room?!” He asked her, and I can swear that the house cleaner is almost peeing in her pants, but Logan does not give a damn.“Miss Leah,” she told him.Logan gnashed his teeth, “Damn that girl!”He dismissed her and came back into the room, anger written over his face. If I could do a jolly dance for this victory, I would. “Good morning,” I greeted Logan, but he ignored me and went straight into the bathroom. Seconds later, he came out angrier than he had gone in, holding a pink container in his hand.“What the fuck is this, Alice?” Logan asked me.“You did not respond when I first spoke to you, so why should I answer your question?” I said. Logan was shocked, but he recovered quickly from it, because I guess he does not want me to see that reacti
