Grace peeked outside from the big windows surrounding the room but she found nothing useful. There seems as if the whole outside was surrounded by big trees and bushes.

She huffed looking down. Why my life is like this? Why? What I have done to get such bullshits? ugh!

She kicked the cushion in frustration but her bad luck that it landed on someone who just opened the door of the room. She gasped. There was an old man probably in his mid-50s who groped his head and shook his head in disbelief. Grace gasped mouth-palming herself. She quickly ran towards the man.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Mr. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you fine?"

Grace apologized to the man continuously feeling guilty for what she just did. Sometimes, anger can be brought harm to someone and she recently got an example of this.

"I'm sorry, Please, forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt you," She said in a weak guilty voice gaining the old man's attention. The man looked at her with soft eyes and shook his head.

"No-No, It's okay dear, I'm fine," He said.

"Sure?" Grace asked unsure about it and the man nodded.

"I came here to give you your lunch. Mr. Knight told me to bring lunch to you," He said making Grace confuse.

Mr. Knight?

"Mr. Knight?" She asked falteringly unaware of whom he was talking.

"Mr. Dylan Knight. Our Master, the guy who brought you in this mansion," He informed making Grace mentally blow.

So his name is Dylan.

And wtf this is a mansion?

She was so flabbergasted drowned in her thoughts when the man shakes her by her forearm bringing her back to the earth.

"Are you fine dear?" He asked doubtfully.

"Y..yes," She said and the man nod. He placed the lunch on the nearby table and gave a warm smile to Grace making her smile in return.

"You seem a nice girl, I don't know what your matter with Mr. Knight is? I hope everything turns out fine. And, You can call me anytime if you need anything dear," The man said warmly.

"Thank you, Mr....."

"Mr. James," he said warmly. She nodded.

"Mr. James," She repeated. The old man left afterwise leaving her alone in the room. Due to stomach grumbling, she sighed before settling herself on the comfy couch and took the plate filled with roasted chicken and fried rice.

She took a spoonful of rice and chewed it to guess the taste. Indeed, she moaned in delight because the food was really delicious. She quickly finished her meal and clapped like a happy child as if she achieved a big victory.

~~~~~~~~~

Dylan's lips curled up into a slight smile peering at the monitor screen inside his cabin. No doubt, he was watching her. She is cute when she claps. She has heart-melting charms in herself and she is not even cognizant of this.

She is both a badass and a naive. He liked the way she kicked the pillow that almost hit James. No doubt, it made Dylan confounded but chuckle.

Indeed, she looks so naive.

So innocent.

After discussing with Aidan, he called Mr. James (Their head cook) to brought lunch to the room upstairs for Grace. He can't forget that easily when she is hungry or full. The way her tummy was making grumbling noises when he was talking to her. But she didn't speak any word regardless of her needs.

It still gets hard to believe that he spent a whole night with her and she is so awesome. No one could tell that what happened last night was her first time. Yeah, Dylan got to know that she was a virgin, the first moment he touched her. Her reactions, her expressions, her screams everything was the proof that she never slept with anyone before.

But somehow, deep down in his heart, a slight hint of guilt was visible that he has ruined a sinless's innocence.

But, it wasn't his mistake completely. He was minding his own business last night after saving her but she was the one who clasped onto his body like a scarred koala. Indeed, she provoked the horny beast inside him when she responded to his kiss.

And he can tell that it was her first kiss too. She doesn't even know how to move lips while kissing someone. But even if she was fresher, he was so entranced to have her past midnight.

"May I come in,"

Dylan's thoughts interrupted when he heard a knock on the door. "Yeah," He said and a man came inside.

"Mr. Pearson is here, Boss. We need to leave for the meeting," The man said. Dylan nodded. "Is everything arranged, Mr. Bell?" He asked and the man nodded. "yes," Mr. Bell said.

"Good, I'm coming," He said and the man left afterwise. Dylan went to the locker of his cabin. He put the code opening the locker and took out some important papers. Once he was finished, he wore his coat back before exiting his cabin.

GRACE'S POV:

I shifted from my previous position trying to sleep but I can't. It was almost midnight now but I still can't bring myself to sleep. I don't know why but It's getting hard for me. Every time I'm closing my eyes, his grey orbs were the only thing that surrounds my mind.

What's wrong with me?

I sat up and looked at the clock tugging onto the wall. It was past 12 am or midnight and here, I'm not even ready to sleep.

I'm going insane.

I sat up on the bed. Why I'm feeling like this. I need to get myself to eat something. I know whenever I'm hungry this kind of shit happens with me. After all, I know myself better than anyone else.

I got up wearing the set of slippers which Uncle James bought me this evening with some sets of comfortable clothes. I don't know how he got to know about this that I was in need of this since I didn't take the shower in the morning because I had nothing to wear.

I opened the door of the room and went downstairs. It's my first time going out of this room but I had to because I'm hungry and I need to fill my stomach so that I could sleep peacefully.

I brought myself downstairs by big fancy kind of stairs. I don't know why people need to involve so much money in it just these things. I mean, it's a shelter, so you should make it to your satisfaction what is need to make it a Burj Khalifa that a person almost lost himself.

Goddamn!

I huffed in frustration and started searching for the most important place.

Kitchen.

At not so far place, I found that there was a refrigerator so I got the idea that the kitchen was definitely in this direction. I quickly marched towards there.

Damn it's big and shiny.

I went to the counter to see if I could get something. But nothing was opened up there. I moved to the other side to search for something eatable but there was nothing too. I huffed and went to the fridge to at least drink something.

I opened but to my shock, a lot of food has been placed securely inside the refrigerator. Of course, who could leave the food outside at night. I'm a fool.

I took a plate and a spoon from the nearby counter and went towards the fridge again. I opened the bowl filled with rice and another which has spaghetti and placed some of the amounts on my plate. I placed the plate on the counter and took a spoonful of the rice to eat.

"I guess I have cats in my mansion, Huh?"

My mouth hung low when I heard a familiar voice. It's 'his'

Ms. Grace Bennett, You're fucked up.

I slowly turned around only to meet my eyes with his grey ones. The person now, I hated the most.
