Esmeralda laid on her bed with her hands behind her head. Her eyes tracing the beautiful patterns on the white ceiling. What a unique design. Rolling on her bed and resting on her stomach she stared at the view outside. Quiet and serene.
Beep!
Her phone vibrated earning a groan from her. She picked up her device and stared at the screen. A light appeared on her emerald green orbs but it disappeared as quickly as it came.
"Hello."
"Don't HELlo me you little chain viper!"
It seems the other party is not too happy with her word. Rolling her eyes, Esmeralda pinched the bridge and quickly retracted her hand before answering.
"Then Bye."
"Don't you dare end the call you little mutt. I didn't expect you to be so heartless. Where are the values I thought you? Aren't you supposed to apologise woman!"
The other party shrieked
"I think you have the wrong number."
Esmeralda stated, unfazed by the sudden outburst of the person at the otherside.
"How dare you? I'm your sister, Anastasia, you idiot. How are you?"
Esmeralda let out a tiny smirk. She loved annoying her sister. Anastasia stated that she would get grey hair before she clocks forty because of her.
"I'm fine."
" Did Noah come?"
Esmeralda could hear the worry in her sister's voice and she sighed.
"He did. He said everything was fine so you don't need to worry."
"That's a relief for today. Don't do anything stupid okay? I don't want to worry about your safety. If you need anything ask Kyle and be extra careful."
Anastasia warned. Her sister's safety was important and nothing wrong should happen while she was still overseas.
"I heard you loud and clear. I won't do anything stupid."
"Good"
"Asia?"
Esmeralda called out. She didn't know if she should ask her sister for permission to go out. Though she was a woman of her will but at this point in time, her sister's words were the final say.
"Yes?"
"Can I go out?"
A deafening silence resonated. Esmeralda could hear the calm breathing of her sister so she knew she was still there.
"Okay."
Well that wasn't what she expected but it was better than a "No".
"Thank you."
"Be extra careful little chain viper. I'll be home before you know it."
"Okay mommy."
Pulling the phone away from her ear Esmeralda released a sigh of relief. Everything was better than expected. Her sister was hardheaded and never agreed to anything easily without persuasion. So she wondered why she agreed so easily without throwing a fit?
Standing up her feet sank into the soft grey rug on the floor. Not just her room but every floor in the house was covered in rugs of different colour.Tying her white hair in a bun, she picked up her wallet and umbrella after wearing her converse she left her room.
Walking down the stairs covered in red rugs from the third floor she glanced at the golden clock on the wall. 11:10 it read. It was almost lunch time. Successfully landing on the ground without falling she mentally patted her shoulder and walked towards the door after nodding at the maids who greeted her respectfully. Touching the door knob she hesitated before opening the door.
Stepping out she noticed the sun shining brightly and it's rays partly blinding her vision. She quickly opened her umbrella and hung it over her head, blocking the sun's assault.
The guards noticed her quickly and ran towards her in a flash.
"Young Miss, are you planning on going out today?"
One of the guards asked while looking at the woman in sweat pants and sweat shirt.
"Yes I am."
Hearing her answer the guards couldn't help but nod.
"Get the car ready and bring the doc here. "
The leader ordered making the others spring into action. It was rare for their young miss to take a trip outside the estate. It was also rare to see her as she was always Inside. Some thought she was allergic to going out or she didn't have any social life and decided to stay home.
"There's no need for that."
Her calm voice made the guards halt their steps and look at her expressionless face with a frown. What does she mean by there is no need for that?
"What do you mean, Young miss?"
"I won't be taking the car today and the doc won't be following me. I want to have a little stroll round the city. Alone."
She wants to have a little stroll round the city? Were they deaf or something? How can she walk round the huge city by herself? Was she planning on making them sign their death warrant.
"But miss, Fairview is a large city and you're going there by yourself with no protection."
The leader of the guards tried to reason with her but she was not ready to have a long talk about where she should and should not go alone.
"Mr Ivan, what right do you have to question me like that?"
Her cold voice made the man's body stiffen. He was just doing his job based on the instructions given to him so why was he feeling that this was a bad idea?
"I'm sorry young miss. It was the Eldest miss' instructions to prevent you from going out alone without any protection."
Esmeralda didn't stay any longer to chit chat so she began walking towards the gate. Everyone stared at her but none could stop her. They couldn't move. It was like she cast a spell on their bodies to prevent them from moving. They were done for. They knew it. If the eldest miss or the Eldest master know of this... then there's no telling what would happen to them. The guards couldn't help but cry within them.
They just watched her go. Her steps soft and gentle like spring walking out of the estate. Well, they just hope a miracle would happen to save them from this predicament.
