BuzzNovel“Damn mutt! | should've just poisoned it myself. And that maid-when my parents get back, I'll make sure she’s
fired!”
“So, what happened in the end?” Lucy's voice crackled through the phone. She lounged at her desk, twirling a
pen between her fingers, the picture of boredom.
“It was all that butler Dawson's fault. He butted in and saved them both-the dog and the girl.”
“A butler has that much power?” Lucy sounded genuinely surprised.
“My dad says he’s in charge of everything in the house. He won't even letcall my parents! Just wait till
they're back-I'll have every useless servant in this place sacked. Every last one!”
“Yeah, no point keeping staff who don’t listen to their employer,” Lucy replied, but
her tone was thick with sarcasm.
A real heiress, she thought, yet she doesn’t even have her parents’ private numbers, can’t decide the fate of a
maid or a dog, and still dares to talk big?
“And that brat-he’s got nothing on his mind but Alessia, Alessia. Ungrateful little snake. Stupid and mean-ah!”
The door slammed open with a thunderous crash. Illeana, who'd been sprawled lazily on her bed venting to Lucy
about her day, recoiled in fright.
She shrieked, but her bandaged leg kept her pinned down. All she could do was watch in terror as the two figures
advanced.
On the other end, Lucy nearly dropped her phone at the sudden scream. She scowled, pulled the phone away,
switched to speaker, and let it blare while she listened in silence.

“Alessia! Stella! What do you think you're doing?” lleana’s voice trembled as she tried to muster authority. “This
is the Tate estate, not splayground for the likes of you!”
She swallowed hard, eyes darting as the two drew closer.
“Where's the butler? Where is everyone? Why isn’t anyone coming?” Ileana shouted, but the house remained
eerily still, as if the three of them were the only souls left inside.
“lleana, do you remember what | told you a while back?” Alessia didn’t bother, with

small talk; she grabbed Illeana by the chin, forcing her to look up.
Illeana glared, trying to break free, but Alessia’s grip only tightened. The harder she struggled, the more painful it
got, until her eyes brimmed with tears and she dared not fight anymore.
“I told you, if you want to keep your place as the Tate family’s ‘princess, you'd better behave. If someone loses a
single hair, I'll take ten from you. Isn't that right?”
Panic flickered in lleana’s eyes. “I-I didn’t do anything to York!”
“Oh?” Alessia released her chin just as Ileana was starting to breathe again, but then Alessia’s hand slid down
her arm, sending a wave of goosebumps across
lleana’s skin.
A split second later, a piercing scream ripped through the house, so shrill it set the dog, Rex, off barking in the
next room.
Startled, York tried to get up, but butler Dawson had already appeared silently in the doorway, blocking his way.
“What's that woman throwing a fit about now?”
“No need to worry, Mr. York. We'll
handle it,” Dawson replied calmly.
York had no clue whei(panahad
