Lord Douglas's butler informed him that Creighton the adjutant came back to the mansion three days ago. Lord Douglas got furious, smashing the glass of whisky on the floor and making the butler step back anxiously.
"How dare he came back! Such an arrogant man. I was playing nice with him, now he deserves to be punished." Furrowed with a furious face.
"Antonio!" Lord Douglas called out. He had him as his right-hand man to perform all the dirty tasks.
"Yes, Lord Douglas" he greeted.
"Give that man, Creighton a lesson. A lesson that will shiver his spine to death that he could never face Agatha again."
"As you wish, Lord Douglas" he slightly bowed and left.
In a creepy mansion, Lord Douglas sat on his chair while his butler stood there nervously.

The Garden was blooming beautifully in the northern part of Dale not far from the Ashton Mansion. There were tourists and people of Dale who enjoy the scenery. On the left side of the pathway was an enormous lake with different kinds of ducks and beautiful black and white swans in the corner. You could hear the quacks and the swans swimming their heads down on the lake and flapping their wings beautifully.
Lady Agatha was holding Creighton's left arm while Ashley carried Liam. They were enjoying the scenery and the fresh breeze of the air. The tree's leaves were gently swaying while the sunlight brushes their faces. Creighton was holding a food basket as they wandered around the garden.
Most people who knew Lady Agatha were stunned to see her walking around without her mask. Their eyes widen as they cover their lips with a fan and follow her with their gaze. She walks gracefully in her light brown longed-laced cotton dress. Her ocean-blue eyes are more alluring making every man turn around not because of her scar but because of her strong appeal as a lady. All the single ladies were fond of staring at Creighton. They were captivated by his manly posture and expressive eyes. Wearing a simple white line polo shirt, two buttons unbuttoned, tacked in his black slacks, and black shoes. He was different from other men who were well-groomed with suits and wore their expensive mushroom hats as they looked at Creighton and Lady Agatha.
They spent the day in the garden, where Liam sped up his walk in an effort to reach his father's embrace. Both Lady Agatha and Ashley laughed heartily. The father and son were having a great time playing along the lake and feeding the ducks and swans while telling each other funny stories. Lady Agatha paused for a while to admire them. The home that she has been looking for all this time is finally now in front of her eyes. She would do everything to safeguard them away from danger. For she knows, it is not the end of her disputes with her uncle. Then, Creighton saw her looking at them as he carried Liam with him. They both warmly smiled at her, as she smiled back at ease. Ashley felt happy to finally see Lady Agatha find what she's been longing for, A Family.

It was evening when they were back home. They have their first dinner together at an exquisite Italian restaurant. Ashley was amazed at how the chandeliers sparkled above their heads. And, again, they were the center of attention and attraction for every man and woman inside. Even a waitress could not properly get the order when Creighton looked with a smiling face. Lady Agatha just smiled when the waitress turned red and left, shamefully and awkwardly.

Creighton and Lady Agatha thanked Ashley for accompanying them with Liam. She went to her room. She took a warm bath. Then she wore her sleeveless silky soft nighty. Before she fell asleep, she sat down on her favorite spot, the window seat sofa. She continued reading her novel.
**
Creighton laid Liam down to bed and put the duvet cover to keep him warm. He went to the bathroom and took a warm shower. He came out wearing his cotton thin linen pants and dried his hair with a towel.
When he is about to go to bed. He stopped and looked at the door, sideways. He was wondering what Lady Agatha is doing at this time. Is she still awake? Is she reading her book? He slowly walked towards the door, thinking about what he was planning to do. Without hesitation, he braced himself and opened the door. He quietly went out and closed the door not to wake Liam up. He looked at Lady Agatha's door.
Lady Agatha was having a good time reading the novel when she heard a knock on her door.
"It's me, Lady Agatha," Creighton said as he waited outside.
Lady Agatha felt butterflies in her stomach. Shyly, she put down the book on the sofa and went to the door. Creighton's big and manly physique was exposed by the thin cotton linen slacks he was wearing, and she carefully opened the door to see him. Both of them blushed as they experienced something common that any other person might feel and understand.
"Can I sleep with you tonight, Lady Agatha?" Creighton flushed.
Lady Agatha was shyly stunned. She flushed and nodded her head. Without a word, she flung open the door for Creighton. Creighton looked at her intimately. As though it was her first time, startling hesitance swept over her. Creighton reached out and clasped her right hand with his left. She turned to gaze at him. He took her hand and led her toward the bed. She did not know what to do. Her heart feels like it could explode from all the fluttering. They were both standing on the side rail of the bed.
Creighton looked at her warmly and gently this time. He held Lady Agatha's face and slowly and gently kissed her scar. She was surprised and yet she felt the comfort and security of Creighton's warm touch. Creighton's hands were on her face. Both closed their eyes and listened to the sound of their own breathing as he rested his forehead on hers. Creighton carefully removed his forehead from hers and they exchanged passionate gazes with one another.
"I want to be with you, Lady Agatha. I want to give you the love and happiness that you deserve. I may have no power or money to give you, but I'll work hard. I will never leave you again because I truly love you, Lady Agatha."
Lady Agatha held both of his hands and smiled. "I, too, Creighton. I love you too."
They had a passionate kiss. In a warm hug, they felt each other's warmth. As they undressed and lay on the bed together. With some moments filled with compassion and love, their bodies became one...
**
When she leaned against him, Creighton's back rested on the bed's headboard. Putting his chin on Lady Agatha's right shoulder, he and she tenderly caress each other's hands. The duvet serves as a cover for their naked bodies.
"Are you alright, Lady Agatha"
"Yes, I am. Please call me Agatha from now on Creighton." interlocking their hands together.
"As you wish Agatha." he calmly smiled looking at both of their hands holding together.
she looked sideways "If Liam awakes and you're not there, he could start to worry and cry."
"Do you want to come with me, and sleep together with Liam, then?" He sweetly talked.
"No, you should go. We will see each other in the morning, Creighton."
"Then, I want to stay here and sleep with you." He embraced her from the back and gently kissed her nape.
"No, not tonight. Tomorrow, let me think about it. Hmmm?"
They looked at each other, and they intimately kissed again.
Creighton went back to the room to Liam. He left Agatha when she fell asleep soundly.
A night of romance between two lovers and the beginning of an evil plan by Lord Douglas Ashton.
