Master, Ace are you in there?
Can I come in
I waited for a few seconds but there wasn't any answer, maybe he went to work early this morning. All the better after what happened yesterday I'm glad I don't have to see him.
I push open the door and walk into the room, okay let's get this room cleaned up before he comes back...
Wait, what is that noise is someone in the shower, I walk closer to the bathroom door to see if I'm hearing right. Just my luck I really thought I didn't have to see him this morning. I'm already here might as well just do my job.
I have to be brave I can't allow my fear to get the best of me. I have to let him know that he can't break me.
Just as I was about to start cleaning, I turned to see Ace's clothes lying on his bed . This is my chance, I run to search his clothes quickly before he comes out of the bathroom.
I searched through the pockets but couldn't find anything. Finally, tucked away in a pocket I found a key, I held it up to get a better look at it.
This can't be right
Why would he leave something so important lying around so carelessly
Was this the right key?
What are you doing?
frightened I immediately hid the key behind me. I looked up and I was even more shocked at what I saw. Ace was standing there wearing nothing but a towel, which was wrapped tightly around his waist. I felt my heart racing as I took in his chiseled abs, wet from the shower. I was mesmerized by the water droplets rolling down his chest.
Ace cleared his throat and I realized I had been standing there in silence for too long.
My apology Master Ace
Oh and good morning
I didn't know you were here, Marianne send me to clean your room.
How did you know I wasn't here?
I knocked on your door earlier and there wasn't any answer so I figured you went to work early this morning.
Why do you look so frightened and what are you hiding behind you he said looking at me suspiciously. Frighten, I'm not frightened I awkwardly laugh I just wasn't expecting anyone to be here except for me. I'm not hiding anything it's a habit of mine, I like to hold my hands behind me.
I don't have time for your games.
He took his clothes up and walk into his closet which is equivalent to a room to get dressed.
Sigh, that was close what was that earlier, pull yourself together Caroline. After a few minutes of cleaning Ace left without a word.
I run to his office and open the door I run to his desk and put the key in surprisingly it was the right key.
I pull open the drawer and spot a small box that looks like a treasure box I was filled with curiosity and excitement I open the box and to my surprise, I found my mother's locket inside.
I broke down in tears it was her most prized possession and she never took it off. It was now in my hands.
My heart was pounding as I realized this was the proof I needed that Ace was involved in my parent's death, however, I knew that this alone wouldn't be enough to send him to prison. I decided to wear it and hid it in my uniform. I wiped away my tears and close the drawer and left his office.
I will find the evidence I need to convict him. I am determined to bring my family to Justice and make sure he was punished for his crime.
After I was done cleaning I went to find Rachel and Marianne because I felt better than I have ever been since I came here.
We laughed and talked the rest of the day I even helped Rachel and Marianne prepare dinner for the house.
Caroline, I need you to take Master Ace's dinner to him he said he won't be joining his family for dinner tonight.
Why can't someone else do it?
Well, I don't know Caroline maybe because you're his personal need.
Fine, I reluctantly agreed.
Master Ace, I've brought you your dinner.
Okay, leave it there he said pointing at this table and leaving.
I lean over to place the tray on the table but just then my chain slipped out of my uniform.
I immediately looked up
Where did you get that from?
I hurriedly put it inside my clothes
Nowhere
Caroline
I'm going to ask you again he said walking from behind his desk and slowly approaching me, this man has a habit of walking into my personal space.
Did you steal it from me because I came back and found the draw empty with the key left in it, which I remember not leaving it there?
You have no right to go through my things.
No right I said standing my ground.
Ace seems surprised by my Outburst but I don't care.
You are right I have no right to go through your things but I've every right to this necklace
It belonged to my mother and you know what Master Ace
I spit out his name like it was filled on my tongue, I'm glad I went through that draw because if I hadn't, I wouldn't have found my mother's necklace and if I wasn't sure you killed my parents I am sure now. It may not be enough to put you behind bars but I will find evidence to send you to jail forever.
Give it back to me right now he seeth through his teeth.
fuck no
Caroline!
I said no!
Out of nowhere he walk up to me and ripped it off my neck causing all the beads to drop and roll to the ground.
Ace and I slowly look up at each other wondering what the fuck just happened.
