Devon watched Olivia with a confused expression. Despite his detailed list of demands, she neither spoke nor expressed any thoughts. When he noticed her confusion, he expected her to ask questions, but instead, she simply nodded at everything he said.

Seeing her passive acceptance, he decided to test her limits further. He didn't like it when she didn't reply to him or show any emotions towards him.

"And you will also need to mop my chamber. I've noticed some dust on the carpet."

She nodded again.

"The jewelry needs polishing. How can I go out without proper jewelry just because the ones I have look so old?"

Once more, she nodded.

Frustrated by her silence, Devon wondered if she would ever speak up or plead for mercy when she grew tired of his demands.

"Where do you want to start? Prepare a nice bath for me, and while I'm soaking, you can begin with the clothes," he instructed.
