Of course, Natalie purposefully moved a table over to the door and blocked it to prevent Sean from breaking in during the middle of the night.

That way, she would immediately be alerted if someone wanted to force his or her way in.

Fortunately, the night passed peacefully without anyone attempting to break in. She slept very well and was invigorated when she woke up.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Dropping her hands that she had placed at her waist while stretching, Natalie cast a wary look at the door. “Who is it?”

“It's time for breakfast, madam.” The housekeeper's voice sounded outside the door.

Natalie breathed a sigh of relief. “Got it. I'll be there in a bit.”

Phew! I thought it was Sean again!

“All right. Please hurry then, madam. I'll be going downstairs first,” the housekeeper replied.

Natalie grunted in response.

Shortly after, she heard the housekeeper's footsteps fading away.

Flipping the covers, she went over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and pulled open the curtains for a look. She wanted to see whether there was a ship, helicopter, or the like outside.
