As the Sun diligently rose without skipping his routine. Flora opened her eyes rubbing them. She looked at the clock hanging on the wall, which showed the time 6:20 am.
"Jesus, how did I sleep up to now? I think this girl's laziness rubbed on me. I have to attend many chores," Flora jumped out of the bed thinking that
She walked towards the mirror and looked at her reflection. She set her attire right and walked near to the bed where Louisa is sleeping hugging her life-sized Penguin toy.
Flora smiled looking at Louisa who is sleeping carefree.
"It will be better if I let her sleep. It's been many years she slept this peacefully," Flora thought to herself ruffling Louisa's curls which were lying on her forehead.
Flora walked towards the main door without opening the curtains in the room.
"Why didn't you guys wake me up?" Flora questioned the staff who were doing their chores on the floor.
"Sir has ordered us that no matter what Young Madam's sleep should not be distributed, so none of us dared to step inside the room," the girl who is mopping the floor replied to Flora.
"Ohh okay, so you people don't wake up Louisa unless you receive an order from Sir," Flora said to her
"Yes Mam," the girl nodded
"Do your work fast. I need to run now," saying that Flora ran down the stairs.
"Flora Mam, you are late today?" The guard at the main door of the mansion questioned Flora all surprised
"I slept in Ms. Miller's room due to her persuading and we hit the bed quite late, so that resulted in this," Flora said smiling
"Young Madam loves you a lot," he replied
"Yes she does and now I need to rush as I am already late I don't want the daily chores to get delayed due to my negligence," Flora smiled at him saying that and took quick steps towards the staff quarters

Sophia Miller rubbed her eyes open and yawned sitting straight on her bed. She cracked her knuckles hard looking at either side. Her eyes bulged open with surprise when she looked towards her right side
"What is he doing here?" Sophia thought surprised looking at her husband sleeping beside her.
She got down of her bed and lazily walked towards the blinders and pulled them open. The sun rays waiting at the window hit into the room and landed straight on Oliver Miller's face.
"Close the blinders, I need to sleep," Oliver yelled pulling the blinders over his face
"Darling, wouldn't you miss your workout session if you continue with the sleep?" Sophia asked removing the duvet from her husband's face
"Soph, why are you here in my room this early in the morning?" Oliver questioned opening his eyes.
"Don't you think I should be the one to ask that question as you are sleeping in my room," Sophia said smiling
"Ohh yes, I slept in your room yesterday as you are not in the right mood and I forgot about that," Oliver said sitting on the bed
"I was not in a good mood? But I don't remember that" Sophia quizzed
"You don't remember what happened yesterday?" Oliver questioned her
"I was at the event where Louisa ashamed me with her behavior as always and everyone pointed their fingers at me. I got so irritated and gulped down many drinks. I lost the hold of myself and someone accompanied me to the vehicle. I coughed a lot and the one who accompanied me to the vehicle gave me something to drink and I felt good after gulping that down," Sophia kept saying
"What? How can you drink anything someone gives you? Do you even realize the threats you have? How can you forget everything and just do anything without care?" Oliver yelled at his wife
"Oli, you are just worrying without any reason. He just helped me and I think that would be definitely water. What will someone offer to a person who is coughing? And there is no harm in drinking from anyone when we are in dire need," Sophia said to him
"No Sophia, we are the Millers we have a threat from every nook and corner. I think that drink was the reason for your latter behavior," Oliver said thinking
"What do you mean by latter behavior? Have I done something?" Sophia questioned him
"Don't you remember any incident which took place in our house yesterday?" Oliver questioned her
Sophia nodded her head in 'No'
"Sophia, you had a brawl with Louisa. You behaved so worst and pounced on her. You behaved so out of senses, it became too difficult for us to control you," Sophia looked at him with shock while Oliver kept speaking
"Didn't Louisa fought back with me when I put up the brawl?" she questioned her husband surprised
"Apparently, our daughter knows that it would be a futile attempt to fight and win over a tipsy person," Oliver shrugged
When Sophia didn't say anything Oliver started to speak again, "The house helps brought you here into your room and when I came back here after some time your behavior was totally changed. You looked so calm and put up many questions. You cried like a madwoman, you tried to accuse me of many things and you begged me to kill you," Oliver explained to her whatever happened the previous day
"Really? Have I done all those things? I have asked you to kill me? Why would I do that?" Sophia wondered
"God knows Sophia, but you had behaved like a lunatic, you even refused to take your medicines. I had to manhandle you to make you have your daily medication. You cried a lot and cursed me with all the words you know," Oliver replied with a chuckle
"Why don't I remember anything about it? How can I behave in such a way? Why will I try to put a fight with Louisa when I want her to love me like the old times and Why will I try to do anything wrong to you when I love you the most? I am really sorry for my worst behavior Oliver," Sophia said holding his hands
"No Sophia, don't feel guilty as it is not your fault. It's definitely the work done by the one who helped you but in reality, he drugged you," Oliver said gritting his teeth
"How can you be so sure about that?" Sophia questioned her husband who is fuming with anger
"Why will you behave in such a way if you were not drugged? Why would you lose all your senses? Don't tell me it's because you are drunk. After all, I have seen you that many times but you never behaved this way. Therefore, it's totally drugs that made you behave like that. The one who tried to help you was there only to make your condition worse. I don't know what else is there in the drug, we need to get that checked immediately," He said climbing down from the bed
"Take it easy Oliver. Now I am okay after having the medication right so leave the matter," Sophia said catching his hand
"No Sophia, it's not a simple matter to leave that without giving it a thought. Since yesterday, many things have changed. Louisa had been followed and she saw some illusions, she was admitted to the hospital and they tried to do something to her, if I wouldn't have reached there on time I don't know what would have happened and then there is this thing with you. So everything was going according to someone's plan, we need to crack who is that new threat to us, and what does he want? We can't leave this matter lightly," Oliver said pulling out his hand from her grip
Oliver walked out of the room ferociously and Sophia followed him wearing her full-sleeved night robe.
