Chapter 25: The Ring

Liliana's POV

The following day started late in the afternoon. The housekeeper had been kind enough to leave a small tray with a note on the bedside table. The neatly written instructions informed Liliana of reaching the staff once she had risen.

"Mrs. Medlock, can you properly show me around the house? I would imagine there were many details that Mr. Xander left out in our tour last night."

"Miss Farley, I would enjoy doing just that. We've never had a woman other than myself visit the private home. Mr. Xander keeps other residences strictly for entertainment purposes."

Gathering up a large key ring, the two women proceeded to open every door and cabinet within the home. There were not many items that were personal in nature. No family photographs or greeting cards detailing the upcoming graduation of a distant niece or nephew. Instead, there were lots of interesting 'things.'
