(Mary's P.O.V)
"It's been three months since the unfortunate event took place, everything has returned as it was a while ago. The house which had become lively , has suddenly grown quiet as if it were in mourning, where love had grown , hatred has made its home , the once cold Mason, who had become cheerful has returned back to his old self more ruthless and furious in his dealings , he has become and the one who brought laughter into this house , has grown cold , filled with ever growing hatred and disdain with each passing day of his prison like life , everyone and everything seems distant and desolate , I keep hoping that the happiness , love and trust which was lost would someday return to this house".
(Daniels P.O.V.)
"Mary!"
"Yes sir" she answered from the kitchen and soon was standing right before me.
"I have been calling you for a while now , what were you busy doing ?" I screamed at her
"I was washing the dishes sir"
"And you couldn't hear me calling your name due to that, what sort of excuse is that "
"Sorry sir , I was also lost in my thought "
"You just got lost in your thought, why not go missing to you dumb head" I spoke arrogantly to her "Well I just wanted to tell you that I would be having salad and chicken for dinner , so you guys in the kitchen should make that possible " I finished my sentence
"But sir , there isn't any chicken nor salad making materials or ingredients left in the kitchen and boss never gave us any money "
"Do you think I care about all your excuses , you definitely didn't ask him for money for meals , so what did you expect?, well I don't know how you're going to do it but I want my dinner ready by seven P.M on the dot , don't give me excuses cause you could definitely use your personal allowance for it , so did you get all I said?"
"Yes, sir"
"Good , now take this empty place and leave my presence"
"Yes, sir" she said with a sad look with mixture of anger on her face
"Time to go bath and take a nap" I said once she left the with the empty plates
I took my phone and walked upstairs towards my room.
"And where do you think you're going " I turned referring to my guards and I was met with there usual silence
"Well you can be mute as usual, since I'm the only one who has mouth in this house , but know you am going to take my bath and have a nap , so I think you should let me be for now"
As I said that , the both took there places and the door sides , as I unlocked my room went into it and closed it. I want allowed to lock it or it would raise suspicion of me doing what I don't know when there is a protector and survey camera on my windows , waiting to alarm if any stuff should take place.
I slowly removed my clothes , drew a bath at my bath tub and laid there , as my body touched the water , cooling me down a little, tears began trickling down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry Mary, I don't wish to be mean, I just want to act that way around everyone , so he could let me go"
I was drained and tired of this mean type acting , I just wanted to go away from this cell of a house , away from Mason and all he represents. I kept remenancing on the past until I fell asleep in my bath tub.
I was soon woken by a knock at my bathroom door.
"Who the f**k is that?"
"It's Simon sir"
"Simon , what's the problem?"
"Boss called, he asked that everyone be at the seating room to welcome him and his guest, as he would be back in a few minutes "
"Ok, go out the door, I need to go get dressed or else you wish to see me naked " with just those words , he hurriedly left my room.
I came off the bath tub , cleaned up, wore my robe and proceeded to my bedroom, there I got dressed and did put on some nice colon and went down to the seating room , awaiting Mason.
Soon there was a knock on the door, and one of the guards went unlocking it. Mason's men trooped in first with his stuffs and then finally Mason, as he entered few of his men went out to go get more stuffs.
"Thought the said you had a guest coming over?" I turned towards him facing his cold looking eyes , without flinching or missing words , he just kept calm, ignoring my question and taking his seat.
"Hello , were you asking of me?"
I turned to look at who it was , at first it seemed like my eyes were deceiving me but when I found out it wasn't, I just laughed and welcomed our guest
"Wow, who do we have here, if not the devil himself " I said referring to sammy
"Yeah, it's me your one and only night mare "
I chuckled a little
"You wish dear , you wish but well to clear up your confusion and fix your thinking, you definitely can't be my night mare , so let me rephrase your personality, you are a lying , backstabbing, bitter ,hoe. Hope you got the facts slut ?" I said smirking
"Seems you still need some smacking " he said pacing towards me but stopped, as my guards blocked him
"Let him be , don't stop him but Sam, I hope you wouldn't dare do what you wished to do or else "
"Else what?"
"Seems you've forgotten our last fight and the beating you received, well that would be little compared to what I would dish our to you , as you know it , I got nothing to lose unlike you"
Just then Mason sighed and stood up to go away
"Hold up mister, for the fact I knew you guys were still going on with your stuff for thus few months wasn't enough for you that you had to bring it home , ooh I forgot for a while that you had no shame , but you know I applaud your nerves, the nerves that let you bring in this whore into my home "
He chuckled, smiled and moved closer to me , for a while I was lost in his smile, although the seemed cold but the still had an effect on me, if I was holding back myself, I would have jumped on him , kissing his sexy lips but I can't, I can't let go of the hurt , at that moment I could see my eyes get teary.
"Last time I checked " he said "this was my house and I could bring who ever I wished to , if you had just let go of you hatred and allowed me love you this wouldn't have happened" he said right close to me
I chuckled moving back "and he blames me for his mistakes , I wasn't the one cheating " I mumbled
He moved close to me once again, cupping my face by his hands and looking straight into my eyes , I could swear that for some spilt seconds I saw his eyes look sad and filled with tears
"You know the only thing stopping me from forcing you to having the sex you denied me is only the love I have for you, justonly you could stop hating me and love me back, it would all be fine once again"
"That would be never Mason"
He chuckled again "and once again you made your choice, so keep living with the consequences " he said and left going into his room.
Samuel followed suit but not without saying a word to me
"You once told me you ruled this house " he wispered to me "now I am in control, while you a prisoner " he smiled and he left
I watched him until he walked into the room opposite mine , disappearing from my sight and I slowly sat down.
Maybe I was weak , maybe I should have just forgiven and forgotten but would that have made it fine, would it have made me fine ? , I was simply tired of relationships, I seemed to be the honest one but no more , I couldn't take anymore heartache instead I would be like them evil to the core , not caring about how anyone feels and with that I stood up and walked to my room.
Later when it was night , assuming my dinner was ready I went down stairs to eat and it was to my surprise.
"Mary " I called out
"Yes sir"
"Take this money and replace the money you used to get the food stuffs used in preparing my dinner" I gave her cash more than she used
"Thank you sir"
"You are welcome "
After she left , I prayed and dug into my food, just then Mason and Samuel also came down for there dinner.
The were having pasta , while I was having what I ordered for and I could feel Samuel's eyes on my meal.
"Your food seems nice , can I have a taste of it"Samuel said and u glared at him
"Isn't that what you normally do , have a test of everything that isn't yours " I continued eating as I was done talking.
Suddenly I saw his hands stretch out grabbing my food and taking it to his side.
"What's the meaning of that rubbish act you just performed " I said trying to be calm as possible
"I said I wished to eat and you refused, so I took it "
"By force "I added " well am not surprised, that's another characteristics you do have "taking what doesn't belong to you " I said while chuckling
"What ever " he spoke and sug into my food
I smile stood up to live
"That all you do try to escape from your problems , you can't ever face them" sammy said
I continued on my journey, going through his back , I turned took his remaining plate of pasta and emptied it on him
"Ooh sorry , wanted to have a taste and it slipped of my hands " I said sounding remorseful but bent down and whispered into his ears "that's how I face problems like you , I turn them to trash cans" and with those words living my mouth , I went to my room and laid sleep.
Mid way into the night I heard a scream come from outside my door waking me up and then someone racing into my room and then to my bathroom.
It was sammy and he was screaming
"Hot ,Hot "
Just after him Mary ran in smiling
"What's wrong?" I asked
"I mistakenly made sir sammie's water very hot and that's why his screaming"
From the smirk on her face I knew it wasn't a mistake but intentional, so I drew her close to me and wispered in her ears
"Are you sure it was unintentional , eeh Mary?"
"No, yes , sir " she said as she saw Samuel coming out of my bathroom
"Are you done ?" i said sounding mean while trying to hold my laughter inside
"Ooh shut up , as if I don't know that thus was your plan" he said make his way to leave but I dragged him back
"Aissh " he screamed in pain "Don't you know my body still hurts from the burn
"Ooh sorry, I didn't know it hurted that bad "
"Ohh , don't play dumb you do know , this was all your plan , you think I don't know?"
"Be it my plan or not " I walked closer to him while sizing him from hair to toe and smiling I completed my speech " I just want to make it clear , I am the one in charge of this house and its affairs , so don't try overshadowing me again"
"That only for a little while " he said fuming walking away from towars the door
"And least you know, I said to his hearing before he left " sammie this is only the beginning of the pile of problems awaiting you in this hours , please be cautious in your dealings " and with that he left banging the door , followed by Mary
" I hope I remember telling Mason I would start bolting my door from the next day to avoid this such rubbish next time " and I slept off.
