30 Finally, I can be me...

His frown deepened.

Just how is he cute? But she just continued to dimple at him. And pinched his cheeks!

"Ahhh--"

"Darling I'm hungry." She must have slept so long. Remembering she hadn't eaten dinner last night she felt her tummy protest.

"Hmmn, then let's eat."

"I'll wash up first." Her cheeks flushed as she imagine how she must have looked when she woke up.

He answered her with a nod, but mentally instructed the butler that they are about to come down and eat dinner. Then he led her to the bathroom.

Rick was surprised when the bathroom door opened, then she turn around and look at the whole room for the first time.

"You like it?"

"It's so beautiful!" She exclaimed. It really is. The whole room is in blush pink color, soft and elegant, with touches of gold. The floor to floor carpet is in nude color, the light giving the room a warm glow. Even the bathroom follows the same motiff.

"Hmmn." His heart warmed as he look at her. She love this room he designed himself.

Rick hugged him suddenly startling Cedric. He kissed her in the forehead in return. He would dote on her with all the chance he can get.

She then happily hopped on to the bathroom. With Karl, she has to wait for her birthday to be indulged. But with Cedric, he carefully plans everything ahead for her. Just who is she to be loved like this?

If this is a dream, she doesn't want to wake up anymore.

She took a short time washing and found the walk-in closet right after. To her shock (again!), it is filled with all of the things she can only dream about.

From gowns down to the most comfortable clothes to wear, lingerie, denims, shoes, bags, accessories! It is even bigger than her bedroom and bath combined!

She has to pinch herself at some time to determine that she is awake. This is too awesome!

Rick has never been materialistic, being born wealthy herself, but she has been deprived of the freedom to own such materials. Now everything is handed to her.

She carefully chose a white laced doll dress and smiled. It has a wide mid length skirt, full batwing sleeves and a wide collar showing her beautiful collarbones. The white lace making her skin appear more delicate, and her shoulder length hair made her appearance that of a porcelain doll.

Facing herself in the mirror, she can't help but tear up a little.

'Finally, I can be me...'

*****

She has met the butler Frankie (his real name is François but he prefers to be Frankie now). He is quite old like a grandpa but very healthy and serious though he seems to be pleased by her. His aura more suited to be a chairman of some really big company than a butler.

Her personal assistant Aya, and her bodyguard Jason. They're a couple and lovely too. Though how they look like an assistant and a bodyguard is the opposite. Jason looks like the bookish high IQ guy, and Aya is the teen candygirl.

There's also the chef, Margaux, she looks like a chef haha! Middle age and bubbly, she is in high spirits as she serve them dinner. Everything she placed on the table suddenly became her favorite (Nanny forgive me!), this lady is divine!

What Rick hadn't known at the moment is that Margaux is the only commoner in this house. That she is ecstatic to serve her first dinner creation in the household as she is hired only for her.

Cedric can eat normal food despite being half vampire. However, as he is focused on getting stronger each day for the past 15 years, he maintained his vampire diet and only very seldom that he craves for actual food.

That Frankie, Aya and Jason has declined to join their meal is simply because they cannot eat what commoners do. Their "dining area" is at the basement of this villa, inaccessible and non-existent to the outsiders.

It has been a good night, then she realize she hardly know him at all. Cedric sensing her unease, he asked for tea at the balcony and started talking.
