" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

Seriously I say looking at Adrian and he smiles as he nods his head.

"You seem oddly discontent at the fact that you're always sitting down inside doing nothing"

"We aren't doing nothing" Alice says looking at him and I have to nod my head.

Truly we haven't been doing nothing, ever since I've gotten here, my life has been a roller-coaster ride, it has been a huge roller coaster ride and I do not know how so many things managed to happen in one day but still

"You'll let me follow you around?" I say looking at him and he nods his head.

"Only for the time being, only until we find something else for you to do"

"But isn't that the job of a personal assistant?" I say looking at him and he smiles awrily as he chuckles.

"You are not my personal assistant. I simply want to let you see more of this place".

I am smiling at this, I'm smiling as mischeviously as I can and Ercles is jumping around the place, playing with the new ball that Adrian has gotten him.

I'm pretty sure that has broken all the glassware in this place, I'm sure he has broken a very good amount out of the glass vase is in this place and I doubt they're really that cheap.

Adrian doesn't look like he cares though, he doesn't look like he cares. He's simply content watching the boy with an amused look in his eyes, and then he turns back to mem

"Are you sure that this is going to be okay?" I asked my new boss and he nods.

"You should at least know a little bit more of this place so you can be more comfortable staying here".

The way he says staying here, the way he says staying here makes me know that he's also thinking about when I'll leave.

He is also thinking about when I'll leave.

I don't know when I will leave this damn hell hole to be particular, I don't know when I will leave or how I will leave, can I even managing leaving all of them here?, but yet I know that the time will come.

The time will surely come and so he wants to show me more of this place. He wants to show me more of this place and I'm wondering why.

"Can I tag along?" Alice says looking at us and he nods his head.

"It's not like you don't know everything there is to know about this place anyways" Adrian says and she rolls her eyes.

"Will you stop referring to it as this place, this is the winter Mansion, this is the winter monsoon which cost practically billions of dollars to build, and I'm pretty sure that if the founding fathers saw casually referring to it as this place they would simply spit blood".

She's rolling her eyes and acting very patriotic and annoyed at this and I have to laugh. I have to laugh because exactly who are the founding fathers?.

"You guys still didn't tell me that they are founding fathers to this place?" I say looking at Adrian and he nods.

"There are, that is what you'll learn today".
