Sarah's pov

"I can't believe this boy! How many times do I have to tell him I hate when he does this! Do I look like his mom or something!" I said through gritted teeth while bending to pick up dirty towels and clothings from the floor

Ughh I'm starting to sound just like a nagging old woman

I've been living in this mansion for almost a month now. Since its the holidays everyone with the exception of Julia has been at home; indoors to be specific, since for some reason its a crime in this house to step outside the main gate. The only members of the family that go in and out of the house are Mr and Mrs Morgan.

It's like the rest of us are prisoners! The past weeks had been...hmmm... I'm not sure how to correctly caterogize it.

I don't want to put everyone in one pot because I have different categories and feelings about everyone. So allow me to break it down

Let's start from the little one shall we

Pearl: she's the sweetest and the happiest person in the house. She's also a little bundle of energy

I chuckled as I remembered the first morning that I officially spent in the house how she walked up to my side and poked me a little to get my attention.

At that very moment I was lost in one of the numerous hallways in the house. And I was having trouble deciding which way to go.

When I turned towards her, she immediately started talking without pausing or catching her breath

"Hello, mommy said your name is Sarah and you are Daniel's wife now, right? I'm still deciding if I should call you aunty Sarah, sister Sarah or just Sarah, since we call Daniel, just Daniel. Also Julia and I have been wondering if you like us and would want to be our friend? Do you want to be our friend?" She finished, panting and looking up at me with expantant eyes

It took my mind a short moment to process all that the little girl had just spat out but I finally replied

"Um, Hello. Yes my name is Sarah and calling me Sarah would be just fine, darling. Well I don't see any reason why I wouldn't like either of you. Also sure, I'd be honoured to be your friend. As long as you show me around the house, because I'm a bit lost right now" I replied totally ignoring the whole "wife" question

"No problem, your tour guide is here to save the day!" She said smiling fully, gave me a salute before finally grabbing my hand and leading the way

And just like that a beautiful friendship was formed and she never seems to leave my side. And I love her the way I love my niece. In fact she has the same attitude as my niece the only difference is that pearl talks properly and walks on her feet.

On to the next person

Julia: she was a sweet child but we weren't so close because she had stayed for only two weeks at home before she had to go for a camp. During the time she was around we got along just fine but I'm guessing she's just quiet

Next, Daniel: He has been fine, we have little arguments, nothing major. I think the major reason we haven't gotten into big fights is because we don't talk to each other often and he spends most of the day in the study learning more on how to manage his family business

I really don't understand this family. I mean, the kid's only sixteen and he already has so much burden on his shoulders. Anyway he and I have been in an unspoken truce, at least for the time being.

Next, His Mom: she is really sweet, a little too sweet. The kind of sweet that causes tooth and belly aches, you know? She is always doing one thing or another and it's really hard to keep up with her.

I remember the first day I stepped into the house, on the wedding day, how she talked non-stop when showing me around. I honestly do not think I remember anything she said from that night. Our relationship has been running smoothly so far because, anybody that can live with my mom can survive with any older woman, I assure you.

Up next Daniel's older sister Jennifer and her husband Luke, I've only met them twice but they seem nice

Then there is Mr Chris, the family's chauffeur, he had become a really good friend to me and also an unofficial psychologist, he is someone I discussed things I have in mind and also get free advice from

And Last but I assure He's not the least, the big boss, Mr Morgan. I've lost count on how many times Daniel had to hit me with his foot or hold my hand under the dining table during family meals to stop me from responding to his father. The man takes infuriating and arrogance to a whole new level and a different category.

He always has something annoying to say. Mr morgan never forgets to remind me how he 'saved' my father's company from bankruptcy and how I'm just a liability to him.

I try my possible best to keep my anger in because, if I'm being honest he's right but it really gets on my nerves when I see the way he orders and treats the rest of his family.

I've tried so many times to get Daniel to at least speak up for himself but that's just beating a dead horse. So I just stick to avoiding the man at all cost. Well, at least the best I could...

"Sarah can I come in?" I heard a tiny voice say at the door after a quick knock on the door. I don't think you need to be told who it belongs to

"Yes darling" I replied and immediately she swung the door open, ran into the room and sat beside me on the bed

"Hey, what have been up to girl! I haven't seen you all day!" Pearl said in a high pitched voice, giving me a light push on my shoulder and also the shock of my life because I know for a fact little girls weren't supposed to talk in that manner

"Where did get that from?" I asked chuckling and bringing her closer to my side

"Mommy, sister Jennifer and I were watching a movie and I heard some girls talking like that. So I decided to try it out but I don't think I'll continue speaking like that" she replied pouting and looking up at me

"And why is that?" I asked suppressing my laughter

"Because it's very difficult and took a lot of work to talk like that!" she answered exasperated

And that did it, I couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud

"That's wonderful dear, because I don't think I liked it very much either" I replied with a smile

"Pearl!" I heard the big boss call her name, yes I'm sticking with that name for Mr Morgan, and for some reason Pearl let out a gasp and closed her opened mouth with her little palms

"What?" I whisper-yelled to her even though no one was in the room with us

"Daddy asked me to call you to the dining hall, everyone is already seated at the table waiting, but I forgot!" she whispered back to me, taping her head a few times

It was now my turn to let out a gasp because no one and I mean no one kept the big boss waiting! And we have been doing just that!

"Oh Jesus! Lets go, let's go, let's go!" I rushed out, jumping up from the bed before lifting her up into my arms and making a Sprint out of the room towards the dining hall

"Good evening everyone" I said as soon as I entered, settled pearl on a chair and sat on one myself

Daniel replied back a good evening to me while his mom replied her "Good evening dear"in a singsong voice but the big boss replied with a...

"Hmm, thank you for finally gracing us with your presence Sarah" He said sarcastically

'Oh it's a pleasure' I replied mentally but outloud I said "I'm sorry sir"

Just as the food was being served Mrs Morgan began to speak

"Here Sarah, I met up with your mom earlier and she said to hand this over to you" she said handing over an envelope

"Okay? Thank you" I replied a bit confused as I began opening the envelope

"Yes!!!" I yelled out after reading what the letter contained

"What is it?!" Mrs Morgan asked excitedly

"I got accepted in the university of my dream!" I said smiling like crazy

"Really that's excellent dear, I'm so proud of you" she replied clapping her hands more excited than I was

" Congrats" Daniel who was seated beside me said

"Yay Sarah!" Pearl piped up

The big boss just sat down quietly observing everyone

"Yes, and the letter says that I'm to resume in a month from now" I stated smiling, finally I can get out of this dungeon

"Does that mean you'll be leaving?" Pearl stated with a pout

Before I could respond the big boss answered for me

"Yes Sarah is infact leaving, But not to that university because she not going there. By the end of the month she and Daniel will be Moving to U.S to complete their individual education" He stated with finality putting everyone present into shocked silence

Well, that was before I exploded

"WHAT?!!!" I yelled with all my might looking him in the eye, something I have never done before!!!
