Cassandra woke up drowsily and looked around, she realized she wasn't in her room. She scratched her head lazily as she tried to recall how she got here…last thing she remembered was meeting Antonio at the restaurant and him running off after receiving a call from his Dad. Then she paid for the bill and left and was waiting for a cab when.. she sat up straight as her memory was restored. It seemed she had been kidnapped, but by who and why?
She noticed that her hands weren't bound neither was there a sticky tape on her lips, that was the usual thing kidnappers did to their victims before demanding ransom from the families of the victims right?
She also noticed that she wasn't in the same clothes she had worn the previous day, instead she was dressed in a white lace soft and beautiful night gown and which meant that her cellphone was gone along with Antonio's credit card!
She surveyed her surroundings, she was in a room and it was a beautiful room and she was placed on the bed. The room was very big and spacious. It was about four times the size of her own room at home.
She looked at the wall clock in the room, it read 7:08.
She stood up from the bed and looked at the decor of the room. It seemed to be a man's room it was beautifully painted in cream and ash, the bedsheets and duvet were cream too only the furniture was brown. Searching around for a weapon or something to protect herself with she grabbed the bedside lamp then she climbed down from the bed and tiptoed to the door and slowly tilted the door knob to take a peek.
Just outside the room was a girl of about her age who looked up just as she opened the door. Just as their eyes met she looked at the lamp in her hands quizzically for a second then she bowed her head and said " Good morning ma'am, I'm Tiffany, I'll inform the others that you have woken up, so we can get you dressed up" she said and walked away hastily.
"Hey wait! Hold on, please how did I get here?"But Tiffany ignored her question and kept on walking away. Still holding onto the lamp like a life support she slowly and cautiously made for the stairs. They were maids smartly dressed in black and white uniforms similar to the one the girl from earlier wore and they were all busy arranging the house.
" Umm… please excuse me " she called out to one who just turned and bowed her head slightly and rushed off. Same with every other maid she called out to.
Getting even more confused, she thought to look for the way out of there. It was a very big and beautiful house and it seemed to be covered in gold. This made her cancel the possibility of her being kidnapped for money. She cautiously walked down the passage way. But she didn't know which way to go, the house was so big that one could literally get lost in it. And she didn't seem to be of any concern to the maids here.
She walked for some distance until she couldn't see any more maids.She was beginning to get frustrated, she got to a corridor which seemed not to have much of human activity. The were gold framed portraits of people on either side of the walls. Undoubtedly her abductors were super rich. Subconsciously she loosened her hold on her lamp and began to look at the portraits. She was attracted to one which was turned facing back, curious she decided to take a look at it. She walked closer and just as she was about to turn it over someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"Aah" she screamed clearly not expecting it.
"Easy,dear" a rich voice sounded from behind her.
She turned around and saw a man putting his hands on his ears and scrunching up his face. Apparently she shouted too loud.
