She needs a 4 feet ladder to comfortably wind the clock but since she was very tired, she reached for a ½ feet stool nearby, tip toeing the remaining height to get the job done. The edge of the jacket hooked on one of the lion’s feet during the process and she didn’t notice it. Done winding up the clock, she flattened her feet when Mike came upstairs and noticed her sweater caught in the clock’s legs. “Sarah!!!” Mike exclaimed wide-eyed at the clock and sped as fast as he can towards her.

I looked at the watch on my left wrist. I just shook my head when I saw that it was 8:30 PM; they said the meeting would be at 6:30 PM. But then I just sighed, waiting for them to arrive. Well, I hope one of them will come, whether it's Madame McLadel or Valentina.

RAVEN’S POV: There was a knock on the door, jolting me awake from my deep sleep. I rubbed my eyes drowsily as my gaze reached for the wall clock across the room. It was still noon. I quickly scrambled out of the bed and turned the doorknob, opening the door. It was a young lady dressed in a servant uniform with two bags in her hands.

Richard said as he started walking beside her. "I love your clock by the way," he said referring to the wrist watch she wore. "Clock?" she asked confusingly.

It was just 10:58pm; two minutes before the time Zara had given me to meet her at the gate.

She was someone I had married just six days and was just too hard headed.

I watched the minute hand tick past our scheduled meeting time. Richard was late. The man billed $850 an hour and had never once been anything but punctual—until today. Unusual. Concerning. Richard's predictability was part of what made him useful—prestigious enough to satisfy the board's expectations, hungry enough to follow instructions without excessive moralizing.

I ran my fingers through my messy hair, trying to look somewhat presentable, and called out, “Come in.” To my surprise, it wasn’t just the maids.
