Larisa flopped down on the bed as soon as Mariann left, promising to bring her lunch in an hour or so. She was tired. The house was so big that she felt she’d walked miles just to tour it. It was beautiful and all, but even still, Larisa did not want to live here. The beauty of this place had not diminished her fear. She was used to her whole life being a mess...but living here with a monster was a new challenge; one she wasn't sure she could overcome. Sighing frustratedly, she rolled onto her back, staring fixedly at the ceiling. She wondered... What else did he have planned? Why did he want her here? And how exactly did he plan on using her? He already had a house help. He had a mansion, money, staff, security~ everything a man could possibly need...so what did he need her for?
