William pulled out his luggage from under the bed and begin to packing all his clothes and belongings before he heard a 'click' sound outside his bedroom, he gets up and reached for the doorknob and its locked from outside. Great, just great first he can't even leave this enormous house, now he can't even leave this room, this is just what he wanted locked up in this house for the rest of his life! William gripped his hand and then he bangs the door
"Hey open this door back!"
"I'm sorry young master, master said that you can't go out of your room for the mean time"
Smith voice could be heard from the other side, William furious as he is right now continued banging the door
"Smith, you can't do this to me, open this door back this instant!"
Smith just shook his head although he knew that William didn't even see it
"I'm sorry young master this is for the best"
Smith footsteps could be heard leaving William in his bedroom and the key in his hands, Smith sighed as he put the key back in his pocket
" I'm sorry young master"
That is when Smith sees Lily walking in front of her
"Lily"
Lily turned her head to Smith and quickly walked towards his direction
"Yes, is there anything that you wanted me to do?"
Smith handed the key to Lily hands
"You will be bringing you master his breakfast after this"
Lily looked at the key and looked back at Smith
"But you said I will be giving young master his foods starting tomorrow?"
Smith sighed and patted his right hand on Lily shoulder
"I know but I thinks it better if you start today, can you?"
Lily quickly nodded her head "Of course I will" Smith smiled at her
"Thank you Lily"
Lily shook her head and smiled back
"No need to thanking me, this is my job and I'm deeply honored to do this"
Smith smiled as the girl was headed to the garden to do some task.
Back to William's bedroom, the butlers outside of his bedroom could hear a loud thud inside and they are anxious to peek at their young master but refrain themselves because Smith already warned them whatever sound he heard from William's bedroom they are not allowed to go inside unless Smith gave them a permission to enter William's bedroom. Still they could hear a loud noise coming from inside,
"There's nothing good by doing things like this!"
William ruffled his hair, again and soon a neat hair that he managed to repair a while ago has been a complete mess but did William care? Hell no! he must find a way or another to leave this living hell. He looked around his room searching for something that can help him break free from this cage of his, and that is when he sees a big window beside his bed
'Right that window can help me get out from this place'
He walked towards the window and tried to push it but it seems like the window is stuck or rather someone definitely locked his window too, but really the window can't be opened because it was too rusty.
'Damn it!'.
William try to push it again and he did it! but when he tried to see the height between his room's window and the ground he immediately retreat back, he knew he would definitely die before even got the chance to run from this house. He wanted to connect all of his blanket and ties it to his bed leg but unfortunately he only had two blankets in his wardrobe and it's not enough, he tried to think of other solutions and then he saw his phone on his desk.
He took his phone and open the dial pad then he begins dialling his home phone that will connect to the phone downstairs.
"Hello this is Wright mansion who am I talking to?"
Smith answered the phone with a polite tone
"Smith"
William called for Smith on his phone earning a sigh from the butler
"Young master, I'm really sorry there is nothing in my power that can allow me to let you get out of your room"
William tries to sound as normal as he can right now
"I know but just let me out of this room, I will never tell my father that you are the one who unlock my bedroom, ok Smith?"
William hoped that this kind of 'bribe' can help him but no.
"Young master this house has a lot of cctv and butler too, by helping you and you promise will keep your mouth shut can help me?"
Smith want to help William but he can't do anything when he literally living with the money that Mr. Lewis gave him
"Just stay in that room for a few days, the other butler will deliver your meals and I will try everything that I can to help you young master"
Although Smith can't see William's face he knew that the young man is currently smiling even for a bit after hearing his offer.
"Now if you will excuse me, I have a duty that I need to accomplish at the moment, have a great day young master"
"You too Smith, and thank you"
William put his phone at the study desk in front of him, took a breather to calm himself and finally sat at the chair looking at the halfway done work that need to be done today.
"I forgot about this, let finish you and gave you to Daniel"
He opened the book and scribble some notes on it. Daniel is a boy that live outside this mansion and currently being taken care of by Smith and actually Smith already adopted him, so now Daniel has Smith family name that is Daniel Miller, Daniel is the same age as William and the only difference between the two of them is Daniel could woke up every day to drink a cup of coffee without being a target by other people, he could playing happily at the park and maybe go shopping alone. Unlike William, he doesn't even remember when is the last time he actually go out from his house, William sighed
"How fun if I can actually run away from this house and lead a normal and happy life and only worrying about my grades and not my life, I'm tired"
William make a small box beside his notes saying
'I hope I can meet you soon, life is boring if you live in this house anyway I miss you and I hope you miss me too'
William smiled looking at his little notes.
William stretches his body after writing the notes on the book, he looked at the clock and doesn't even realized that it has been over 3 hours since he started writing. William thought that he want to take a quick nap before he heard a knock on his door, he doesn't get up instead just wait at his desk because it clearly pointless to wait in front of the door when you can't even open the door. A minute after that knock a butler open the door carrying a tray with his lunch on it, the butler smiled at William and put the tray in front of him, William smiled back to the butler.
"This is your lunch young master, I will come back in 10 minutes to pick it up, enjoy your lunch"
Before the butler walk away from his room, William called for him and the butler stop before turn his head looking back at him
"Anything else young master?"
William scratch his head and put a notebook on his desk
"Can you gave this to Smith, because I don't think he will come to my room any time soon, so do me a favors and gave this to Smith and don't you dare to read it okay?"
The butler reached for the book and hold it firm in her arm with a smile
"Don't worry young master, I will give this to Head Butler Smith"
William smile at her
"Thank you…?"
William tried to guess her name but it's not his fault if he can remember the butler name, there's literally around 30 butlers in the house. The butler chuckled seeing William struggling to guess her name
"Its Lily young master"
William snapped his finger
"Right Lily, thank you very much and I think I can depend on you after this?"
Lily nodded her head
"Of course, and do you want to add other notes when I give this notebook to Head Butler Smith?"
"Yes, tell him 'Give this to Daniel and tell Daniel I said Hi', hmm yeah that will do and thanks again"
William smile at her
"You're welcome young master"
With that Lily make her way out of William's room and she stop when William called for her again
"Anything else young master?"
William scratched his head
"Could you leave that door unlock please, I swear I will not try to open it"
Lily quickly shook her head when he heard William request
"I'm sorry but I can't help you with that young master"
William took a deep breath
"Why is that? I just asked you for a small favor here, can't you help me for a bit?"
Lily still shook her head
"I promised to Head Butler Smith that I will not obey that kind of request and maybe you will find it unbelievable but he actually warned me about this kind of request"
William sighed as he watch Lily
"No, it's okay its my fault for asking the impossible"
Lily smile
"There's no need to apologizing to me, and I'm sorry that I can't help you young master, I will excuse myself for now, have a great day young master"
William nodded his head as he watch Lily make her way out of his room and headed downstairs after locking it back, as William watch her, he pities that girl because she has to work in this house that doesn't deserved to be called a home. William wonder how many days until he can go out and play with Vale his cat, at least bring him his cat before locking him up in him room, now he can die because of boredom before he can free himself from this house. This is frustrating.
*****
Its been literally three days since his father make a decision to locked his own son in his room so that he can changed his mind and become the heir of this upside-down family, and he literally think doing this can change William's mind. In your dream! William who is currently on his bed lying down while reading a book get up when he heard a knock on his door, this is weird he just had his lunch half an hour ago.
"Young master"
Smith bowed his head to William and he bowed back to Smith
"Tell me, isn't it a little bit early for my dinner? I just had my lunch half an hour ago you know, and could you do me a favor if you really want to locked me up in this room could you just bring me my cat, I miss him"
William looks at Smith who rather act strangely despite him ignored what William said to him
"Hey did you hear me and do tell me why are you locking the door when you are inside?"
William watched as Smith begin to locked his bedroom door and walked slowly towards him
"What is wrong Smith?"
William put both of his hands on Smith shoulders trying to look at the older eyes
"There's no time to explain, I will ask you this question just one time to you and you must listen to it carefully"
William nod his head even though he is a bit clueless about what is happening right now
"Do you want to leave this place?"
William's face lightens up hearing his words
"Of course I do!"
Smith put his right hand at William's mouth telling him to slow his voice down.
"I will help you"
