Belle Adams' Butler Novel

Belle Adams’ life veers into dark comedy before dawn when a nightmare is replaced by a disturbing discovery. Emerging from sleep, Belle finds her usually stoic butler engaged in peculiar late-night gardening. The predawn quiet is broken not by the supernatural, but by the unsettling image of her butler, shovel in hand, near a freshly dug hole in the moonlit mansion gardens. Driven by unease and curiosity, Belle ventures outside. Her blood runs cold as she witnesses her composed butler casually burying a dead body. Disbelief quickly turns to horror as she questions his mental state. His startlingly polite reply? "Gardening," accompanied by the chilling revelation that the corpse is intended as fertilizer. Belle is left to ponder the implications of her faithful butler's actions.
