Desiree was caught in a massacre at her high school during the first day of her school year. But was saved by some stranger only to be told that she is the lost heiress of a very rich family abroad. Five stranger saved her and dress her up accordingly to her status as the heiress of the Walton family.
"No she cannot leave this place! It's not safe out there!" One of the butlers started yelling the moment he heard Desiree ask to see her mother.
Desiree stood up from sitting in front of the vanity and felt nervous after hearing someone started yelling.
She looked at the Butler who is the same age as her for help to understand what is going on.
"My brother thinks that it's not safe to go outside." The young Butler started speaking in Desiree's native language.
"You can speak my language!?" Desiree asked in her native language and step to back away from the young Butler. Dumbfounded.
"You can call me Leo. And yes I could. I thought it would be nice to learn another language to be able to communicate with you." He answered calmly like it's the most logical thing ever.
"Then why didn't you speak Tagalog at first! You know how hard it is for me to speak English! You all made me almost had a nose bleed!" Desiree is furious after finding out the fact that they could actually speak her native language the whole time yet chose to make her fidget over speaking in English.
"They could speak a little too. They can understand a little too if you speak a little slower." Leo pointed at the other butlers and wink at Desiree.
"You all are scammer! I wanna leave! I want to see my mom!" Desiree started walking out the closet door furiously after finding out that these men could understand and could talk her language. She thinks it very rude to hide that fact to her.
Tap tap tap
Her big steps could be heard banging on the floor.
"Wait!" The man who save her screamed at her and deliberately held her arm to stop her from leaving the house.
Desiree look at the hand that is holding her up and then followed that same limb to see who dared stop her from walking out. When she saw the face of the man who saved her earlier, she tried to yank her arm free from the man, remembering the way he kissed her during that tragic event.
"Let me go! Pervert!" She started flinging her arms.
"You can't go out there, it's dangerous! We don't know who is targeting you." He said pulling Desiree to his arm and carried her to his shoulder like a bag of rice.
"Let me go! Let me go!!" Desiree started flinging her legs up and down causing her high heeled shoes to hit one of the butler's face. Her arms are hitting her savior's back as hard at she could.
"Bryan! Your head is bleeding!" One of the Butler started wiping the blood seeping out of the butler's forehead after getting hit by Desiree's shoes.
Desiree yelp upon seeing the man's forehead bleed from the shoe she was just wearing a moment ago.
"I'm sorry!" Desiree screamed after seeing the commotion as her savior Butler carried her back to her bed.
"You're staying here. We can bring your mother here, we have to do as much safety precautions as possible. We cannot risk you getting killed out there without knowing who wants you dead." Her savior then threw her to the bed like an unwanted baggage.
"Ernest you have to be careful with her!" The man who Desiree accidentally wounded in the process of fighting her savior to take her back away from her supposed to be walk-in closet.
"If she's going to fight over her safety then it's better to hurt her like this than be killed outside." He said angrily sighing while glaring at Desiree. He then focus his eyes to Bryan, the butler who just had his head bled from accidental shoe scenario. "You need to tend to that wound in your forehead." Desiree's savior glared at the four men close to them. Giving his orders on what to do. "Lance go pick up her mother and make sure she gets here safe." He said.
"Roger that leader." The man with a dirty blonde vowed meekly and then started to walk out and start his mission.
"Zach and Leo you both make sure she's safe here, I'm going to contact First Madam to see what's our next move." Ernest just gave a quick glare at Desiree before heading out of the room.
Clack.
There goes the silent after storm.
Finally everyone's able to breath freedom after having Ernest leave the room.
Desiree tried to sit up from being thrown to the bed and Leo rush towards her to sit her up gently.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked Desiree.
"I'm fine, what the heck is that guy's problem? He's saying I'm a heiress then treats me like a sack of rice!? Can't he keep his mind together what am I supposed to be?" Desiree asked furiously while puffing angrily almost mumbling her words.
Bryan smiled while wiping down the blood from his wound "He's just doing his job. He may look like a tyrant but he cares about the Walton family. He was the first recruit to get you back home so we don't have any second thoughts about following his orders." Bryan started talking in Desiree's native language.
"I just want my mom… she is probably worried about me right now. She probably thinks I died in that massacre without knowing I was saved by strangers." Desiree's facial expression turned sadness from anger after remembering that she hasn't seen her mom since she was taken from the school ground.
Zach sat down next to Desiree and patted the young woman's back.
"Everything will be fine, we just need your proper documents from your mother and you can go home to safety. You'll have more trained bodyguards and helpers once you go back home to US." Zach tried to reason to her yet it only made her heart more confuse.
The pain in her heart thinking that she thought having her father next to them may help her mother not to overwork was in vain.
Having these people close to her is more of a pain in her heart than a relief.
"What about my mom? She's coming with me right?" She ask looking up to Zach's eyes.
"I'm afraid your mom was banned for going to US due to some circumstances before you were born." Zach started the history.
"Perhaps that may be the reason why you were never able to come back to claim the Walton status. Whatever happened back then, we don't really know. But now all we know is that your grandmother is on her deathbed and would like you to claim the status of being the only legal heiress of the Walton blood line. This is why everything is a mess back home, relatives are fighting over for the Walton's treasure." Bryan continued remembering the past as much as he could.
"But we can't force her to go with us right? She has some right to refuse her heritage if need be…" Lance who is just listening in the background felt a little disturb for how they are forcing this kind of responsibility to a girl who is about his age.
"Can I have a moment to think about this? Everything is going too fast for my brain to catch up. Right now, I just want my mom… She's probably worried about me right now." Desiree mumbled while she pushes her pointing fingers on her temple thinking hard about the situation she is in right now.
A few hours later.
A gentle fragrance of flowers blooming occupied Desiree's surrounding.
A globe tempered glass house full of flower is within view.
A bistro black iron outdoor seating compliments the view of colorful flowers around its indoor gardens.
Swiish swiish swiish
That is a sound of freshly brewed tea pouring into a porcelain cup with floral pattern in it.
Bryan offered Desiree a cup of tea.
Zach and Leo stand beside Desiree who is seating on the bistro set.
"Thank you." The girl said.
Bryan vowed a little bit as a gesture of thanks to the young lady after she sincerely accepted the cup of tea.
She took a sip.
A few seconds later she started spitting it out and coughing hysterically.
The three Butler started panicking to see what is going on with her.
"What's wrong!?" One said.
"You should've done a poison test first!!!" One blamed Bryan.
"Hey breath breath!!! Cough it out!!!" Leo started patting Desiree's back.
"It's bitter!" Desiree screamed as she kneeled down on the floor. "It went the wrong hole too!" She continued while still coughing.
Phew!
All three Butlers sighed relief after finding out that it was just an accidental mishap on Desiree's side and there was no poison or anything at all.
"I'll put some sugar and cream if you'd like Miss…" Bryan offered as he gets ready to pour another cup of tea for Desiree.
Desiree tried to stand up while the Butler brother help her up. "I'm good! I am not really a tea drinker, but thank you for offering…" she said while patting away the dirt from the ground that got into her dress when she kneeled down on the floor. After losing the battle of the tea getting in to the wrong hole when she had sip it.
"I'll make sure I'll add some sugar and cream next time I make you some tea." Bryan said vowing a little at Desiree.
"Thank you for the consideration. Please stop vowing to me! It's very uncomfortable!" Desiree tried to stop Bryan from vowing at her and help him stand up straight.
Bryan felt very awkward at how his new master is treating him.
Zach and Leonard let out a little bit of fake cough to get the awkwardness lighted up a bit.
"Well I'll make sure next time that one of us will do a little poison test so we won't be worried like that next time." Bryan looked at Desiree and gave her a tiny smile.
"It's no worries! I'm sure nobody will try to poison me! I'm just a small town girl! Nobody would even dare!" Desiree's cheek flush at the way Bryan was looking at her with tender gazes.
He's pretty handsome, oh crap what did I do to deserve having these cute guys around me! She said only to her brain.
"Uhmmm…" she averted her eyes after carefully etching Bryan's face in her brain. "Can I just go for a walk around this green house?" She asked.
"That's not a problem our young Miss!" Bryan answered her with no questions, still smiling gently at her.
He gestured his hands towards Zachary and Leonard who were both behind Desiree. Silently ordering them to take watch of the young miss.
Desiree started walking away from the three butlers.
Letting her step forwards for a couple steps before Zachary and Leonard started walking just behind their master.
Desiree stopped her tracks.
The steps behind her seems to have stop also.
She peeks behind her and sure enough Zachary and Leonard is about a couple feet just behind her standing still and on guard, waiting for her orders.
"Can I have a little privacy?" Desiree asked the two.
Leonard glances at his big brother waiting for his answer.
Zachary seeing that he has no other choice but answer the young miss, step forward facing towards Desiree and vowed.
"Young miss, I'm afraid that is something we cannot do, your life is still in danger. We were ordered to return you to US safe and sound." Zachary answered gentlemanly.
"Please don't vow at me… it's really awkward…" she asks again.
"Pardon me Young Miss, I totally forgot your instruction earlier." Zachary stood up straight as usual.
Desiree sulkily wanders around the green house.
This is a little too much, I cannot even have any kinds of privacy… I feel like I am a prisoner in this house. That was what Desiree thinks inside her brain while angrily stomping wandering around.
Then the door to the green house slide open as Desiree was just walking around while having the two butlers following behind her.
Four silhouettes has appeared from the door, the two Butler stood their ground after running in front of Desiree protecting her just in case an enemy is planning to attack.
"Dessa!!! Oh Dessa!!! It is you!!!" A crying familiar voice could be heard echoing around the green house.
"Mom!? It's you mommy!!!" Desiree started running towards her mother giving her mother a warm tight hug.
An embrace that shows how much she loves that person. Tight enough to the point she doesn't wanna let go ever.
"I'm glad you are okay!" Her mother started crying buckets of tears after confirming that Desiree is warm and real. That her only daughter is safe and sound.
"Yes these people save me from that incident… Mom… how's all the students and people in the school?" Desiree gently pulled away from the mother daughter embrace, curiosity has peek on her mind after seeing her mother.
"Most of them are now dead and some are still in critical condition at the hospital…" Desiree's mother was very hesitant answering that particular question after just crying over the fact that her daughter is actually safe and sound.
"Mom I miss you…" Desiree cried tears of joy and fear of being away from her mother.
Her sobbing can be heard all over the garden house.
The five butlers just quietly watch over their young miss cry her heart out after her reunion with her mother.
