P.O.V of Vanessa Cortez

"Lady Vanessa!" my servant calls as he storms into my studio. I glance up at him from my business documents and my pictures of my family. He hands me a letter, I cut it open and what a surprise.

"Dear Vanessa,

I write to you to come and help me with developing a new toy that I plan to sell as my new line 'Toys for tots' in my estate outside of London. I hope to see you soon.

Ceil Phantomhive." Looks like my associate wants me to come.

"Go get my stage coach ready and have Maria start packing my belongs for 2 months." I order and he leaves. I grab my papers and start packing them when "Vanessa, what are you doing?" Henry my fiancé (all thanks to my father) questions as he glides to see what I'm doing.

"Packing my things because I'm going to London for a business meeting." I ignore him and continue to pack my belongings.

"Good now we can have a little vacation from your busy life, I'm coming with you."

"Hen-" I stop because he leaves before he can argue with me. I mutter under my breath and continue. After an hour or so I put on my winter coat and board my stage coach,

"Bye mija be careful." My dad hugs me as I lean over to hug him.

"Horita regreso papi cuida te si?" (I'll be back soon Daddy take care of yourself will you?) I ask in Spanish because it's the only language Dad ever speaks (well he'll occasionally speak some English but not really) since Mom's death. He offers a small smile then heads back to the Diamanté Manor. Henry sits next to me and then we start our way to London 1 day away.

[1 day later]

The Phantomhive Estate comes into view as we stop in front of it. Ceil's waiting for us with a tall figure next to him. I study the figure in black trying to remember him but I've never seen him before. I open the door and step out on wobbly legs from sitting down for one day straight.

"Hello Vanessa," Ceil greets as I approach him. I hug him; kiss his cheeks which are a custom for Spaniards.

"Hello Ceil, and who's this handsome devil?" I laugh as I turn towards the man in black. He smirks and introduces him,

"Sebastian Michaels, my butler and Sebastian this is Vanessa Cortez my sales representative." Sebastian meets my eyes and bows.

"If you are a friend of my master then I'm at your services as well my lady." Then Henry comes next to me.

"Who's this?" Ceil questions in disgust.

"Henry, my fiancé, Henry Hartman." Ceil turns around and walks with me as Sebastian and other servants carry our luggage into the house. We enter his studio while Henry entertains himself with the maid Merry Rin. We discuss the design of the new toy when the door creaks open.

"My Lady I've brought your favorite Spanish Flan." Sebastian serves me a slice and Ceil looks annoyed.

"Since when was she your master Sebastian?" he asks sarcastically. Sebastian smirks. "I apologize my lord but since Ms. Cortez is our guest I thought she'd like something she's used to."

"I supposed so well Vanessa, you do know the real reason why I summoned you here correct?" Ceil lays back in his chair lazily. I sigh

"Because I'm a witch and since you're Queen Victoria's military dog she gave you an assignment and you need my help?" I chew on the slippery flan.

"Does your little fiancé know that he's marrying a witch?" I laugh hysterically.

"Please he doesn't even know what the difference between capitol quota and capital punishment is!" Ceil and Sebastian smirks.

"No wonder you're marrying him, he won't rat you out the government," Sebastian replies as he serves me coffee because I'm not too fond of tea. I sit back in my chair and take a sip.

"So Ceil when are we going to investigate on the murders of Jack the Ripper?" I question as I just finished probing into his mind.

"You're not going to do that to me Vanessa. And tomorrow when we go to investigate the recent murder." I nod then I try to probe into Sebastian's mind but his SHUTS me OUT with his mind.
