Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. 

She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. 

Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. 

A DEAD BODY!

Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" 

Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here.

"Gardening."

"And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief.

"Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?!

She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Belle Adams' Butler

When Lucas let her go completely, he took a step back to admire the half, undressed girl. Dishevelled hair that was left untamed her lips pink and her skin pale. He could see her slender shoulders that looked petite, her body had lost weight, and he commented, "You have been eating less."

"I have?" asked Belle, her eyes looking down at her before she blushed at the half nakedness of both their bodies in this side of the room, "I have been eating the same amount of food."

But Lucas had a keen eye, and he knew she had been eating less, probably something she hadn't realised but having changed her clothes a few times in the past before putting her in the bed, he could tell the difference.

She noticed the way his eyes moved to look at her, the pitch-black eyes changing to have specks of gold in them that turned prominent.
