Young Miss Elvira's Butler

"You won't survive a day with me, Elvira. It's not a warning, but a promise."

_________



Elvira stared underneath the gloaming sky in horror as her butler whacked the half-dead man's face with a shovel. He sought to kill since he didn't stop thumping till a creek of blood crawled into the big pit that seemed dug to conceal the body.



She stood there, startled.



He hadn't noticed her presence, a prominent opportunity for her to run- or crawl if her limbs wobbled. She knew he wasn't normal, she knew he was dangerous, she knew she should have reported to her parents to get him sacked…



Her eyes trailed subconsciously at the lifeless body, and she recognized it immediately…



Her fiance.

It didn't take long for Elvira to realize after the first few encounters with the new butler that he was a psychopath.



He's a psychopath, and yet she wanted him.



She could see the cruel glimmer in his eyes, the type that told her she was ruined…



Doomed for craving for a psychopath.



But the dark mysteries around him kept drawing her close.
