3.1

Time had passed with no updates or information Valentine gained about William, the man to whom she will be wed, bound by the contract she had signed yesterday afternoon. She woke up early to go back home, take a shower then eat her breakfast. Valentine was quiet for the entire morning. She almost thought of going to the restaurant to start her duties but Sofie had given her two days off. She never had off-duties. From Mondays to Sundays, all she does is work.  

Valentine cleaned everything that needed cleaning inside the house. She did the laundry, cleaned her father’s room. Disposed of the cigarettes and ashes. She was never going to deny that their house looked like an abandoned dump. It reeked of cigarettes and alcoholic drinks. It seemed to have germs, bacteria and anything unpleasant sticking into the walls.
