Belle Adams' Butler

Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile. Note: If you enjoy a book of comedy with light-hearted romance and a gothic background. This book is for you~

Book of dead- Part 1

Barron and Belle stared at the timekeeper whose answer came out even before Barron had finished speaking the last word, "What do you mean no?!" demanded Barron as if the timekeeper was crazy. 

"I am retired now. I don't want to work," were the simple words that came from the timekeeper. She snapped her fingers and in an instant, her skeleton form took the appearance of a woman. Compared to what Barron had described, this woman was gorgeous to look at. Either Barron was only teasing the woman or he needed to recheck his eyes if he had one, "Leave me. How did you end up turning so small? What a cute thing you are. How haven't you turned to someone's food yet?" the timekeeper tried to contain her laugh. 

"Forget that! What do you mean you have retired? I said you to take a vacation not retirement!" Barron felt like his bounty was only going to increase if the Hawverts found out that the timekeeper left the job forever.
