Three shots rang out and I watched as his lifeless body drops to the ground in front of me.
A shrill scream escaped me as I couldn't believe what I just witnessed.

I thought my routine here was finally going fine until today. Until once again, he has thrown me for a loop.
When I woke up this morning, the atmosphere around the house was different. There was a slight hum around the house, and I couldn't quite figure out what was going on. The servants were whispering amongst themselves in the hallways and the kitchen. The feel in the air was almost electric.
When I found Adrian and Gianna that morning, they too had a sense of giddy, childlike excitedness about them. Gianna, who was a servant around the house also, seemed to get along with Adrian very well. She was a little bit loud and excitable, but she was always kind to me, so I enjoyed hanging around her.

"No one told you about the Don's gala this weekend?" Gianna looked at me as if I had two heads. I had no idea what was going on or why the Don would be having a gala.
Gianna explained to me that every year Donte threw a gala at the estate to celebrate his charitable foundations. A front, obviously, but nonetheless the party of a century that everyone in the house waited for all year. I'm not sure why they were so excited. Yes, we got to dress up in a bit fancier uniform, but it wasn't like we got to enjoy the gala or attend as we were servers at the event.
