Marcus Pov....

With the news Isabella had given to me. One thing is certainty that lady might be a culprit to this. Who was the one that assistant her to kill Mr. Cat. My head still wonder because I know fully well she can't do that alone. That would be alot to handle making such a bloody dead scene isn't for babies. Now that Isabella had given me the information I need. Is to keep an eye on that lady since she's one of the suspect. I rested back my head gently on the couch after I have made her left. I really want her presence to be around me but I have to spend her away. Because the more I stare at her the more I am losing my mind. 

I heaved a relaxing sighed. Should I tell the Duke now about the woman? No. I think I should get more evidence on her before putting her under his costudy. That lady would be a dead meat in no time if the Duke heard of this. But thanks to Isabella who chose to come and tell me first about it before letting anyone know. 

I sat down to memorize the last time I was attacks by unknown person and the scent smell like that of a woman. But I wasn't sure about it. That lady is of no good. I need to keep an eye on her since she's close to Isabella it's might be dangerous. 

"Rough!" I called one of the guards and immediately he ran in. "Milord" he bowed.

"I want you to organize some of the guards and keep an eye secretly on all the maids and servants in this mansion. We need to know what they do and who they meet and every single thing they does and report back to me! Am I understood!?"

"Yes Milord" he answered and bowed. I can't take any chances since there's a traitorous in this mansion. We need to get ready to cut off some heads. 

"You can go" I command. When he was about to hit the door. "Rough, I mean Evey single one include the lords" I calmly said, narrowed my burning eyes at him. 

"As you wish Milord" he left. I rested back my head again and immediately her words comes back to me. Her words about lady Lily. 

I can't believe why that girl thought still bother me! She's one of the most annoying people I have met except the ones who have died bloody on my hands before. But this lady thought choose not to give me the rest I required. Shit! I need to meet up with her since Isabella plead me to. Why did she had to begged me ! That's was no of my business! If her father hate her or none! 

I shut my eyes to catch a glimpse sleep but the picture of her face appears from nowhere. Isabella! This is your fault! I hurried up and garbs on my shirt before heading out of the room. 

........

I went to the ladies Hall. Where they're few ladies left. Enjoying the sight and treatment of the mansion before they go back home. Immediately I stepped in all eyes gulped stunning at me. Wondering what must have bought a lord to the ladies Hall. 

I looked around and couldn't found her. " Where is that girl?" I gritted my teeth because I hate all these kind of trying to play the nice guy role to consoled some annoying woman!

"Milord" a young lady said and bowed. She was looking pale at me but I didn't give her any attention. "May I asked what bought Milord to the ladies Hall at this hour of the night?" 

"I'm looking for a lady named Lily" 

"Oh Lady Lily. She had been outside all day roaming around the garden path. That where she is. But Milord did she did something wrong?" 

I gazed at the lady and seen she was looking for words out of my mouth which means digging her own grave. The one lady I am clam with it's Isabella but since she was closed to lady Lily I was able to tolerate her nonesense even though I don't want to but this one standing behind me seem to have a mouth full of words. 

I walked a few more steps to her. Making her shriver and the others in the room bowed down theirs heads. "I think you ladies have forgotten your place if you don't want what happened to your friend to happen to you. You better shut up your mouth because it will be better if you do so" I whispered. The lady seem sweaty. "I-I'm sorry Milord. Please forgive me" she bowed immediately.  I smirk and walked out. I hate too much questions! Especially asked by a woman! 

.....

I take a walk to the garden path. Which was surrounded by beautiful plants, flowers and trees also the street lamp set on by each side of the garden giving it light.

. And the moon light shines it brightest on it also making the night seem beautiful. I wonder what must have bought her out this late at night in the garden alone. Didn't she knows it might not be safe since we had have an attacks on one of the lordship

 I looked and around and spotted her in the water falls pool in the middle of the garden. There she was sitting on the stone pool. Playing her hands in the waters with eyes lost in it. She seem lonely and calm. The first appearance of her I have seen for the first time. Her blonde hair fall over her shoulder brighten like the sunset itself. A spot of her shoulder was exposing with the lacey gown she wore. Making she most seductive to the eyes. Indeed she was a woman with beauty. I was lost in thoughts of admiring her beauty, watching her calmly she was.. Shit! What's wrong with me? The only woman I have admired was Isabella. Her black beauty catch my heart and I am praising another woman? Not just another woman but this annoying one! 

Shit! I take my steps and approach her. She didn't even noticed my presence. I still wonder what I'm doing here the first place but I can't just ignored her and act like nothing was wrong. Like her slient mood got me stuck! 

"Lonely alone in the dark?" I said. Terrifying She turned and stared at me. "Milord" she replies and bowed before facing back her water and calmed her nerves down since it was me. Did she just knocked me off like I am invisible?! 

I sighed heavily and walked more closer to her. "What bothering you that you're out this night. Don't you know it not safe to be in the dark?" I asked.

" I'm sorry milord but it's nothing" she said with no glared on me as her eyes were still on the water. 

"Nothing? But it seem you have more in your head Milady" 

"Like I said nothing. I have nothing in my mind and I would like to be left alone" she said a bit harsh. But that amused me. She seem cute when she acted to be tough when she's not. "What if I said I want to stay. What will you do then?" I said and seat close to her on the stone pool. She turned. 

"Milord, you're a bit too close to me" she waved a thin smile in her face and added. "Would you mind adjust yourself a little bit?" 

Of course. I am closer to her because that the only way to get her attention to me. She didn't want to give in that easily which I would let that happen. 

"But I'm a lord young lady. If I choose to seat anywhere you don't have the right to question me" 

"Oh I see. Then I'll leave this place for you Milord" she said and stood up. Wanting to count her steps out of the pool side but I dragged on her waist and she landed on my laps. "Where do you think you're going? When I came here all because of you and you want to leave? Just like that?" My hands helds on her waist tightly while my eyes view her pink lips. Imagine to have them on my mouth. 

"Milord, you're holding me the wrong way. That's not right" she struggles to poured off my hands but her strength were too weak to do so. 

"I came here because of you. That's mean I have the right to tell you when you have to leave because there you have no right baby" I whispered to her ears softly. 

"Well. I didn't asked you to come here and beside I'll will leaving the mansion soon" 

What? She will be leaving soon? Then why did Isabella came to disturb me about it. When I have arranged a place for her in the mansion. A separate room and  private maids to attend to her needs and wants as far she stayed here. 

"When did you decide this?" My voice were cold and I could feel a bit anger burning inside of me. But why? We don't have a thing and nothing had happened between us but I felt this anger? I should be happy that she'll left my life alone. Because since I met her. She was among the ones who make me had headache! 

"Today and just a moment ago" she said looking straight to the side of the flower plants.

"You really want to go back and meet that your beast father!" I sounds so angry for no reason. 

"He's my father and not a beast!" She snapped back.
