-Eleonora-

Ah yes, the honeymoon who doesn't love the honeymoon. That part when the newlyweds have their lovey dovey week on somewhere they love, a beach, a knowned capital, a historical city, a tropical island...

Or... A cold family cottage house.

It looks like a haunted house, it gives me chills specially that big portrait of that old man hanged on the dinning room, I won't definitely eat there.

Everything is in a dark wood tone the house is full of windows and mirrors, and paitings of scary people although the house seemed renovated it still had some traces of it's past. I though this was going to be a honeymoon turns out he just wants to kill me and hide my corpse somewhere near this scary house. You know those types of terror movies where a couple of teens go to a mysterious abandoned lake house and then there's some sort of old scary tale about that house and the lake...this is that house... Which is right in front of a lake how funny is that?

"This is the house. Your room is upstairs first door on the right" a old man told me, he was the butler I think he was very formal with me and very nice actually he showed me around the house since my own "husband" can't do that he simply walked to his office. Albert here was very nice giving me a tour around. Oh and yes, he has an office in this scary mausoleum, and also yes, the first thing he did when he arrived was to set his working zone.

I thanked him and grabbed my bags to take upstairs but suddenly it looked like I was commiting a crime "Oh no miss what are you doing?"

"Taking the bags upstairs?"

"We have people to do that" he said clapping his hands a few maids popped out of nowhere and started to carry my bags and Blaze's bags also

"Oh I'll help you" I said taking one bag from the ground

"That is an unacceptable miss. You are their boss, plus it's not your job you should relax it's your honeymoon" I looked at the small maid struggling their way with the bags I quickly ran to the stairs and helped her

"I'm sorry if it's unacceptable but I will always help in what I can" I grabbed a few bags and helped her climbing up the state I followed them to the room where they were placing the bags. A big big room.

"What is this?" I asked stunned

"The master bedroom" one of the maids responded "it's where you will sleep Mrs.Maxwell"

"A-ma-zing" I said while looking at the big room. This part was not scary, it was full of windows which made the natural light get in the room it had a big stone fireplace and over it a tv, some beige couches with big fur on them, and the bed. It was enormous, and it seemed so fluffy I was wondering how many duvets it had and how would that mattress feel.  "Can I?" I asked the maids for permission I guess they didn't understood what I was referring to yet they nodded their heads "it's your bedroom miss"

I instantly started walking through the big room I took off my shoes felling the soft carpet on my feet " this is a whole new level of being rich" I sat at the puffy couches while I looked at the mountains outside, I got up while slightly passing my hand through the stone of the fireplace I turned around to take a look at the king sized bed "can I?" I asked the maids pointing at the bed they shrugged their shoulders not really understanding what I meant

I quickly got up up on the bed feeling the satin duvet on my feet, though I had socks I could clearly distinguish the fabric. The softness of this bed was surreal it was so bouncy and comfortable that I couldn't resist and started to jump, the maids started to laugh at my behavior I know that this has passed through their heads whenever they saw this beg, it was like a soft inflatable cloud. They were cheering me up as I jumped in that big bed, but their laughs and joy was shortly cut, that's when I see him entering the door my body stops.

"What are you doing?" he asked with a frown on his face looking at me on top of the bed

"Testing the bed" I said making small jumps "is very bouncy and makes some noise" the maids started to laugh and then I realized what I said

"I was testing the bed because we are going to sleep on it not any other reason that they are thinking " I defended myself

"Please leave " he demanded the maids nodded and left the bedroom. He looked up at me, his hands in his pockets and an eyebrow raised "Don't embarrass me more than you have"

"Don't treat me like a child" I fired back, he gave me a full look from up to down questioning my actions, I really looked like a child bouncing in the bed didn't I?  "well, maybe this is not the best time to say that" I explained "however this is my room, and also adults can have their fun"

"This is my room, and you are barely an adult, you are like a-" he made a pause thinking, I knew he was just finding a way to say something worse than a child " -a baby"

"Thanks for killing my mood" I said getting down off the bed, he watched my every move like an owl, he scared the shit out of me

" We need to organize ourselves within this room"

"Why?"

"Because we are both sleeping here" I watched him sit down on the long chair near the window

"Why?"

" I have a lot of people taking care of this small cottage" small? He sure is rich " and they love to gossip around, the only ones that are here that know we aren't a couple is you and me"

"Connor is not here?" I gasped in shock

"No, it's our honeymoon. What do you think people would say when they found out my assistant is on my honeymoon?" he questioned cynically

"That you were having an affair" I stated, I still think there's something odd in that relationship of theirs, Connor is like his puppy is so weird but I respect it, whatever they are doing if they are happy I am happy and I respect it. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and some weird smile on.

"You know what I mean and for your information, I am not into men so you can take that thought out of your mind" he explained himself, I walked to the glassy windows seeing the beautiful mountains outside

"That is hard to believe. I'm sorry" He got up and stood right next to me, I took a look at his face and he was already with his eyes on me.

"I am very much into women" he said getting closer to me "Just- not you"

I placed my hands on my chest "That ...hurt so much" I looked again to the outside "The problem is women need to be also into you"

He threw a sarcastic laugh "What makes you think they are not?"

"What makes you think they are?"

He sighed in frustration "I don't have the time to give you a class on how to read a woman" he got away from the window and started walking to the door "Choose your side of the bed and your drawers then tell the maid to put your things where you want"

"I can do that by myself, I actually have hands" I said swinging my hands

"Do me a favor and behave. Like it or not we are married so act like we are..." He scolded

"I shall tell you the same thing"

"I know what to do and how I should behave unlike you, you are impulsive and mature" I rolled my eyes at his comments, so what? What If I still have my inner child quite alive? Is that a problem? No! I know how to behave he is the one who is always politely and formally correct, looking like a damn robot.

"Thanks for always pointing out my flaws" I said in a sarcastic tone followed by a smile "But you should try and look at yours once in a while"

"It's hard to believe I have any flaws" he mentioned while walking with his hands on the pockets of his pants

"You're so full of yourself, isn't it exhausting?"

"No" he said simply

"Whatever... go away, your making my honeymoon awful. You can go now"

"I will gladly" He said leaving the room and closing the door behind. Great! Now, what am I going to do in this big house?

---

I roamed around the house I was getting quite used to its doomy look, as I was walking with only my socks on and inspecting the house, I was depared with a huge double door, and my curiosity quicked in. What might this room be? I placed my hand on the doorknob and slowly pushed the door, what does this big door hide? is it some stairs to a secret dungeon? a weapon room? or like a scary ouija game room with a crystal ball and fantasm detectors.

"Mrs.Maxwell!" I jumped scared

"Gosh! Albert!" I placed my hands on my heart I felt like I was going to pass out

"I'm sorry Miss. Did I scare you?" The man questioned with a polite smirk, if that exists. It's like he knew what he was doing yet he faked it quite well.

"You did"

"I'm sorry but you cannot enter there it's private" he explained making me only more curious

"Well, fine the. Uhm- " I looked around trying to find something to do " Can you tell me if there's something to do around here?"

"Do you like animals?"

"I love animals"

"We have a small farm outside you can always go there and snoop around, you are quite a fan of snooping"  he mentioned with a smile, his humor almost as bad as Blaze's

"Well guess I will snoop outside then" I walked to the entrance doors curious about this farm

"Take a coat, Miss. It's cold outside" I grabbed my coat and my scarf and I put on the sneakers
