Massy groaned at the heavy knocks on her door, she stepped out of her bed yawning and stretching lazily before going towards her door.
Opening her door, she found a man dressed in black suit standing in front of her door.
She looked at him wondering where she had seen this face before but he cut into her thoughts ,"Good morning, Miss Tedd"
He greeted her while she could only nodd before muttering a weak "Morning" as she wore a very confused look on her face.
"And you are?" She said with her right brow raised questioning him.
"Mr Hampton's driver. He instructed me to bring you to his manor" he replied without letting her think in between.
She gasped as she realised what was going on and the thoughts of all that happened yesterday flooded her memory immediately.
Her eyes widened in horror, then she ran back to her room and gazed at her cracked old clock.
"It's seven am already." She gritted her teeth and went back to the man standing in front of her door.
"Sorry for leaving abruptly, please give me a few minutes." She said to him running back to her room to get dressed.
After spending some minutes in her room, she stepped out dressed in a baggie top and an almost faded denim jeans pant.
She matched out with a different kind of vibe and in her hands held a medium sized bag containing all of her belongings.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting" She apologized as she walk towards him with her bag.
He nodded and moved forward, helping her to the car.
As soon as he got there, he dropped the bag containing her belongings in the car boot and opened the passenger's seat for her.
After making sure she had settled in, he walked to the driver's space and entered igniting the car.
The ride to what he had claimed earlier on was Malik's manor was filled with different thoughts.
She could not still believe that she is now about to become a maid or she already is in fact.
And this is not just any random person but her buller Malik Hampton, this was too good to be true.
This was someone who she had thought would forever be a slave not knowing it would now be vice versa.

"Miss" the driver said tapping sleeping Massy who had dozed off during the ride to the Hampton manor.
He would not have touched her all through his lifetime because he had respect for her and he did not know who she was yet.
But he had called out to her severally and she did not respond to him, because she was soundly asleep.
Massy was not a deep sleeper and it had only been a few minutes since she fell asleep but the condition in the car was the best for her.
In what seemed like an eye's blink, Massy opened her eyes at the last tap of the driver
"We are here" the driver said courtly as she rub her sleepy eyes and yawning at the same time.
Stepping out of the car, her jaw dropped at the sight before her, she could feel herself drooling.
Just like anyone who was seeing this place for the first time, she saw herself gawking at the mighty building in front her.
She had thought her father's mansion was mighty, but this was mightier and was with different beautiful flowers surrounding it.
It also had a big fountain with the image of a golden Eagle and Lions and she also saw that men dressed in black suit were all over at every corner of the manor.
She couldn't help but get lost in the beautiful view before her, and wanted to continue staring with her mouth widely opened.
"Miss this way" the driver said snapped her out of her thought.
She closed her mouth, then nodded as she followed him while he lead the way.
When they finally got to the entrance, the driver eyes was scanned and he was fit to go into the building.
While it was her turn, the device asked for her name and after a few seconds, the device registered her and scanned her.
"You can go on in." It says as the entrance door opened.
She couldn't help the awed look on her face, they got in through the door together into a place with elevators.
Each floor was written on it, and they entered the fifth floor elevator before they took a lift leading them to their destination.
"Miss, my job stops here, the butler will see you through the other part of your journey." The driver said and winked.
"Aye, journey indeed" she smiled for the first time. This was more than a journey to her but it was a trip into the land of her dreams.
It was as though they were purging deeply into the "never to be entered crystal lands" and she totally loved it.
As they stood right in front of a glowing gold door with a gems and beautiful stones design, she shed a tear.
She made up her mind already that she would compliment the all the beauty her eyes had seen but unfortunately she did not get a chance to.
Before she could say a word, the driver had walked away and left her standing there with no one to talk to.
She sighed facing the door which opened revealing a young lady wearing a smile dressed in a white shirt.
It was more than a usual dressing as on her shirt was a well knotted black bow tie that made her look intelligent.
To crown it all, she looked fabulous as underneath the white shirt was a black fitted skirt that stopped on her knees.
From her dressing one would know she is one of the maid.
She envied her in her mind and thought about the places she had to work and the lifeless aprons she was always given.
"You're welcome to the Hampton's Manor, kindly follow me." she said professionally collecting her bag and leading the way.
Massy could not stop gawking at everything she saw in the manor, the inferior was even better than the outside.
With all she saw, she felt lucky and you won't blame her because it has been long she had seen such.
They stopped in front of white silver door, "miss, this is your room" the lady said opening the door and she entered.
She already started jumping right there like she was doing I'm her heart already and forgetting the many rules in the paper.
Massy could not help but to leave her eyes widely open to begin scanning the room.
Without thinking, she slumped on the king size bed and moaned at its softness, making the lady chuckle.
"Tap the intercom beside the lampstand if you need anything miss." The lady said.
Without thinking twice, Massy nodded swaying her legs on the bed.
"I really miss this. Oh, it has been like forever since I had this much comfort" she moaned jumping on the bed after the lady left.
She was still bouncing on the bed when the door opened making her to hastly sit on the bed embarrassed.
A lady dressed like the first lady walked in with a tray containing numerous foods.
It was just like immediately she saw the food, the aroma from it hit her nose, and her stomach grumbled.
She flushed embarrassingly as the lady dropped it on the table.
The lady did not spare her a glance nor did she say anything before walking out.
When the lady left, she move closer to the tray and salivated at the sight of foods in the tray.
"Hmmm." She said, forgetting all her sorrows for the first time in a very long time.
She moaned as she tasted all the meals, she ducked her face in the tray consuming the meal guilbly.
Coincidentally, it was her favorites that she was served. Could it be that Martin remember and even instructed them to serve her these foods?
She shrugged at that thought. She was not expecting anything from him at this time as she was sure he was no longer crushing on her.
There was absolutely no way he would and even remembering the food she loves would only make him hate her the more.
She knew what she made him go through when he had to bring the food she is to eat to her desk.
Massy tried as much as possible to forget about anything that could make her feel terrible again as she looked at the food.
At that time she even decided to put behind her thoughts of what brought her here and the danger she knew was ahead of her as she ate.
After the sumptuous meals she had, she slumped on the bed and giggled as she enjoyed its softness.
It has been long that she had felt so happy and she was feeling too much joy running through her chest all at once.
She yawned as her eyes were trying to close, she tried to keep it opened but it's impossible.
This was because her stubborn body had fallen in love with the soft comfy bed which made her doze off without stress.

In the evening, Malik Hampton's personal car drove into his Manor, and some men in black suits rushed towards him.
As one of the men opened his door, he highlighted from his car and he turned to the driver who drove Massy.
When their eyes met, he asked him "How about the lady I instructed you to bring to the manor?"
"She is here already sir" the driver replied bowing, he nodded going into the manor.
Immediately he stepped in, the butler who first attended to Massy rushed to him and spoke hasty "you're welcome sir."
She greeted him with a smile on her face and then took the briefcase he was holding immediately.
Malik only nodded to her greetings "Where is she?" He inquired and knowing who he was asking about, she replied "she is in her room, asleep."
Without uttering a word, Malik walked to his room to ease himself and get into something lighter than what he was putting on already.
As he was undressing and getting ready to go to the bathroom, a mischievous smirk displayed at the corner of his lips.
The smirk was mixed with his thoughts about how sweet his revenge will be, only if she knew what he had in store for her.
He will make sure he broke her, crushed her into tiny little pieces and made her miserable till she wished she didn't exist every other day of her life.
It was dinner time and that was when Massy was awakened from her long sweet sleep.
This sleep was that which she did not want to stop but she had to wake up because it was dark already and time for dinner.
She washed her face after entering the bathroom she was admiring sheepishly before washing her face.
When she was done, she was led down to the dining room.
And then, when Massy got to the dining room, she salivated at the sight of different dishes that were before her.
All of these made her develop a huge appetite, it was more like that of a pregnant woman who always wanted more.
She dished out the last portion she wanted to consume and her plate was now a mixture of different dishes.
Satisfied with what she had dished out, she started eating.
Massy was already lost in the world of rich food that she did not notice Malik's presence.
"Eat like a normal being to avoid hiccups and indigestion" his voice said jestly with his gaze pinned on her disgust.
She flushed embarrassed and not knowing what to say, said "hi" in what was more like a whisper.
His nose twitched in disgust as he glanced at her flushed face for the upteeneth time in that minute.
