Chapter One;

Day 1-

I woke up in the morning with a killer headache.

There was an old man standing in the doorway, dressed up in a tux. Is he a ghost?

"Good morning, Miss. Christopher asked me to wake you up." He spoke in a voice that sounded calm. "He's waiting downstairs in the family room... I'll be taking my leave now." The man walked away.

OKAY... So, maybe he's not a ghost.

I sat up in the bed, I felt instantly nauseous.

Where am I?

That's right, Kevin... Broke up with me... and I left, ended up here... Now, Christopher Monroe is my boss... So, I'll be living here and taking care of his daughter Melissa. I got out of bed and stumbled down the stairs, I didn't even bother getting dressed.

"Good morning, Elizabeth." Christopher smiled at me.

He looked just as gorgeous as last night, dressed in black slacks and a long sleeve white button up shirt.

"Good morning." I nodded, I wonder what he wants.

"I'm going to go out for the day, will you watch over Melissa for me?" He put on his coat, I guess it's cold outside - well, that's normal since it is February.

I nodded. "...Um... Sir..."

"Yes?"

"Who was at my doorway? I don't know him... or remember meeting him..." I bit my lip and looked down.

"That was my butler - Sebastian. He didn't scare you, did he?"

"Bu-Butler?"

"Yes, I have a butler, a cook, a gardener, a maid... And now a nanny." He laughed.

"Oh... Okay, sir."

Christopher must really be rich; but it would probably be rude of me to ask how much money he has.

"Elizabeth, your clothes are put away in your drawers." A young woman said from the stairs. She had on a plain maid uniform on, not sexual, or attractive... Just plain and simple. She was a bit chubby, but it was obvious that she was strong, she looked like she was from Romania - with her skin and hair and everything her accent even sounded like it.

"Thank you." I yelled up to her, and then turned to Christopher. "Does all your servants know my name?"

"Yes, I already notified them."

"Ah... Now, I feel bad... Because I don't know any of their names..." I blushed.

"That was Kathleen, but call her Katie... My gardener name is Jayme, he's a good man. My cook is a woman named Genevieve.... Now, I have to go." Christopher answered rudely.

"...Okay." I looked down and Christopher walked out.

...Does he have two personalities? Last night he was nonetheless, nice to me... but just now he was an asshole...

"Elizabeth, Melissa is crying!" It was Kathleen's voice from upstairs.

"I'll be there!" I turned around and ran upstairs. Melissa's room was the first room on the right, after going upstairs. She was crying - obviously - and she looks a lot like Christopher. Except for her eyes, she has green eyes.

"Don't cry." I picked up Melissa, and she just kept crying. "Are you hungry?" I set her down and she just stared up at me - luckily it got her to stop crying. "I'll get you some food." I laughed, she is so adorable. "Let's go downstairs and see what's in the kitchen." I picked up Melissa and went down and into the kitchen.
