Luna, please come back to the estate with me. I don't want to leave you. Adrian turned toward my voice and softened his tone. Sophia really likes you, and I hope you'll stay.
If you're looking for work, why not stay at the estate for a while? Think of it as helping me keep Sophia company. I'll pay you a salary. Name your terms.
I looked at Sophia's bright, hopeful eyes. I hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded. I'll give it a try. Adrian nodded.
How much do you want? I blinked and asked nervously. $5,000 a month, is that okay? I'll give you $50,000 a month.
I stood up, my eyes determined. Deal. The Valenti estate was ridiculously huge. The butler led me around for what felt like forever before we reached Sophia's room on the second floor.
The butler opened the guest room next door. Miss Luna, you'll be staying here. I stood in the doorway for a long moment. This was the most beautiful room I'd ever seen.
That night, I made pizza for Sophia and played with blocks until she fell asleep. Then I went back to my room. Go away! Oh!
She curled up in the corner of the bed, drenched in cold sweat. Bad people! You're all bad people!
