Belle Adams' Butler
Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~
Things that are hidden- Part 2
All these years when she heard Lucas telling her the story of Romeow and Julisqueak, she had considered it to be a made-up story but who knew that the book actually existed! And that too with so many pages. With the tragedy she knew that took place at the end of the story, she didn't feel like reading it.
"What are we going to do with this?" Belle asked him.
Lucas had a subtle smile on his lips, "Look closely and you might find just what you need," he said to her.
At the moment, Belle and Lucas were the only customers in the library, and standing two racks behind from the counter, Belle took another glance at the book that was being held by Lucas. Lucas cleaned the front of the book as it appeared that no one had pulled the book from there for years. There were also cobwebs present in the rack. And as he finished cleaning it, she noticed how the title was no more what she had read earlier.
