Brooke's POV

One week later,

It's been a week since I have started living  in this mansion. Aside from sleeping and coding with occasional gaming sessions with Marshal I have done nothing productive.

Throughout this week and a half I have only seen Lucius during breakfast and sometimes in the hallway.

And because I have fractured my ribs I can't go to school or work, I had to lie to mother hen again saying that I'm currently attending a tournament in Connecticut.

I have been told to give a souvenir and to pick up the call whenever he calls.

I already asked James if he could do me this favor which I then had to ask Lucius as well.

For which I got one word out of him which was "Okay". I would have killed myself in here if not for the food and Cole.

Cole would stop by sometimes and go on and on about the new gaming software or when James annoys him after forgetting some password.

I was told that I could go to school during the third week as I have been on my best behaviour by not doing anything strenuous
Like I was literally given a reason to lazy around. It was the second week since the whole thing. It's Thursday.

I was sitting in the main hall where we usually dine, there is a sofa.

I was sitting in it with my phone while watching a movie on it when Lucius came he was in his suit with his hair pulled back a bit.

He looks so tired and hot I sighed.

He looked at me Oh hello~

"What are you doing down here you should be in bed right now" he said as he took off his coat and sat on the other edge of the sofa. 

"I just wanted a change of scenery and I'm high on painkillers so its not that painful" I said while looking at my phone because god knows if I look at him now I would probably keep on staring. 

He just slumped more on the sofa.
"Stressful day?" I asked him plainly.       

"Isn't everyday a stressful one" he said closing his eyes. 

I want to do something for him Ummm~ This is why I don't talk to others.  

"Then why don't we do something about it? what do you do for fun or something that you do to relax" I said looking away

I hate myself but take care of those that take care of you he did so~. He looked a bit surprised

"The garden" he said. And here I thought I was a person of few words. He just stood up.

"Can you walk?" he said "I think so is it far?" I asked.

"No not that far" he said taking my hand. Why? No ignore it. I walked down a long hallway

 Is this some kind of abandoned palace or something why are there so many hallways and rooms? 

We turned a corner and then there was door that lead us to the back of the mansion where there was this big green house.

He then opened it. it smells fresh and fragrant, then he took me in where there was a gazebo with four pillars surrounding it with a table in the middle and made me sit there.
