Packing up Mrs Hally's belongings had been no trouble at all. All that she had been tasked with was packing the fragile chinaware and vases. When she had successfully executed her part, the two men that had been assigned to help them move, were swiftly moving the boxes down into the truck.
She eyed the only three remaining medium-sized boxes that had been placed just near the

Anelia occasionally threw the man that sat behind the steering wheel scathing looks, as the car wheezed past endless rows of trees. To think she had believed that they would be transported to and from Mrs Hally's place by the truck. She narrowed her eyes at him and simultaneously folded her arms to prove her point. It only further exasperated her that he was doing a great job at ignoring her by smoothly focusing on the road. When she still failed to solicit any significant reaction from him, she huffed and looked at him."You know, I can't believe you tricked me," she spoke out."Tricked you?" He reiterated her statement in form of a question. "Yes! If I had known your intentions earlier, I would never have agreed to this!" She flailed her arms and gestured to the car whose interior alone made her uneasy. She had literally jumped into the car earlier because she could not risk standing there and possibly being spotted by any of the other employees. Most especially the Dappers. When

Anelia had thought that the outside of Charity house was lovely but as soon as she had stepped inside, she realised that she may have spoken too soon. Anelia was still trying her best not to stare at everything around her.She was currently sitting in the sitting room on a plume blanche diamond encrusted sofa that was placed in front of a beautiful marble coffee table. On the

Never would Anelia have thought that there would come a day when she would get to meet all the Black brothers at once. And she would have never thought that it was going to be on the very day that she so happened to go to the place that they had all grown up in.They were all currently sitting in the dining room. The beautiful Kreiss dining room set had a large mirror on the other end of the wall to add to it's ornateness as well as creating that much more light in the dining room. There were all sorts of potted plants in the room to add some greenery to the extravagance; Anelia could not help but be in awe yet again.Luckily for Anelia, Dexter had chosen to sit just near Mrs Hally at the end of the table. The food had already been served by what she now knew were maids; their attire as well as their interaction with Mrs Hally was otherwise different from what she would have expected from an employer and her employees but, she was not overly surprised by that. Mrs Hally was one of the

The rest of their breakfast had been filled with Dave's light conversation with Hally as well as with Anelia. Brett occasionally provided limited responses and mostly focused on his food. Anelia was now roaming around the huge house, which she had been given the permission to do by Mrs Hally who was seeing to her belongings being put in their right place.Anelia did not have a

Anelia laughed humourlessly and a little too loud to try and do away with the awkwardness the silence brought into the room. Silence that the two people in the room were equally responsible for. Brett because he was waiting a response from her or at least Anelia thought that he was. Anelia because she still had not responded to his, was it even a question?“Uh, I’m not s

Anelia tried to gulp down the sense of unease that she could feel rising in her stomach. His eyes that were looking directly at her did not make it any easier for her to calm herself. Why was it suddenly so hot in the room?He simply stood there casually leaning against the row of books on his left, his gaze further making her uncomfortable. Dexter suddenly stood straight and much t

Anelia practically jumped out of the car as soon as it had been parked in its reserved space. She was feeling especially awkward because the entire way back to La Vida, Mr Black, as she oh-so-liked to call him, had been completely silent.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" Dexter spoke, his tone somewhat flat and Anelia silently cursed herself. Why had she been in such a hurry to leave his car, only to come back looking for him a few moments later?Anelia cleared her throat and moved to stand on the other side of the kitchen island. Safety first before anything else. If there was one thing that she now knew about the m
