KEISHA JOHNSTON
I think I heard wrong did I hear him say strip.
"I'm sorry?"
"I said strip don't you understand English? If by the count of 2 you've not striped I'm breaking your phone and you'll receive the worst punishment than this"I gulped
I removed the top and skirt. I was only left in my bra.
"When I'm back I don't want to see you in any clothes"
He said and walked out of the room. Pervert.
I removed my bra and panties and I stood there naked.
He came into the room holding a whip. Oh, God.
"Lie on the bed with your back facing up"
He said and I complied and lied down.
"With every whip you receive you count. If you fail to do so I start again"
He said and hit my butt with it for the first time. Owww
"1"
Whip
"2"
Whip
"3"
Whip
"4"
I was crying now it hurt. How can a person be so cruel just because I had a phone? I wish my dad was still alive.
Whip
"18"
Whip
"19"
Whip
"20"
He stopped at twenty and the bed would be wet now with my tears.
"That's your punishment now go to sleep you're starting work at five-thirty in the morning"
He said and walked out of the room. I covered myself with the cover and cried.
My life is a mess. I'm a useless person. I can't be loved. If I was loved I wouldn't have been here in this house.
Miranda told me Miis Chickenwing gave her my math paper and I got an A+. Seriously the first time I get an A+ I'm not there to shove it into Miss Chickenwing's face just because of this sick mother of mine and her psycho husband.
My eyes couldn't close. The dark circles under my eyes had vanished a little because of the sleep I had but still, you could see it.
Someone entered the room an hour later holding clothes.
I looked at the person and it was Cesca. She looked at me sadly and walked towards my bed.
"I'm sorry Keisha"
"Please don't apologise it's all my fault I should've broken my phone when I got here," I said not looking at her lying on the bed.
"I'm sorry for what my brother did to you"
"Please don't apologise it's my fault he was just punishing me for the wrong I did"
"I came here to give you your clothes"
"Thank you. Please I want to be left alone"
"Ok"
She said and left.
I'm a weak girl. I just pretend to be strong I can't even hurt a fly.
I just cried and saw the time on the clock on the wall and it read 5:05.
I got up and went to the bathroom to take my bath before wearing the attire Cesca brought.
It was a navy blue striped dress with black sandals.
The dress was really short. How can they give me such a short dress it shows too much skin.
The time was 5:29. A minute more. Thank God I live downstairs.
Oh almost forgot I don't know where the kitchen was.
I walked out and Cesca was standing there.
She looked at me from top to bottom.
"Wow, you look great" oh yeah of I do.
I just smiled at her.
"Follow me and let me show you to the kitchen"
I followed her and we got to the kitchen. It was huge and beautiful. Everything here was modern.
She handed me a sheet which contains the food everyone in the house eats and their allergies too. She said she's giving me that as an apology gift. Well, thank you.
I began preparing their breakfast for them. Two girls entered and they wore the same outfit but it was longer than mine.
Like seriously.
"Hi," they said in unison
I responded to them.
"I'm Carrie and I'm Taylor"
The brown-haired girl with blue eyes is Carrie and the brown skin girl with blonde hair is Taylor.
"I'm Keisha"
"Oh you're the new girl joining us"
"Yes"
They seem nice.
We made their breakfast and it was seven-thirty which is the time they have breakfast every day.
I took their breakfast to the dining room and left them after serving.
Demon was looking at me the whole time and I almost spilt his coffee because he touched my leg. Maybe by accident or on purpose so he can get a chance to punish me again.
I walked back in the kitchen and washed the pots and pans.
Carrie and Taylor came back in with their dishes and I washed them too.
I cleaned the kitchen, living room and the dining room. That was my work.
After I was done I began preparing their lunch and I talked with Carrie and Taylor.
They told me they had been working here for four years now and they love their job.
Carrie has a crush on some dude who happens to be Demon's best friend called Darius.
Hope he's better than Demon cause if he's the same yeah I'm gonna hate him.
Taylor had a crush on Demon's older brother who is a doctor and usually visits them once in a blue moon.
I finished their lunch when it was exactly the time and served them and did my work.
I hadn't eaten since morning and I'm not planning to do so.
I went to the dining room when I was done and took their plates to the kitchen and washed them.
When Avía returned from school, she came to me and told me today Keira wasn't acting like how she used to and is back to her usual self.
I was really happy hearing that. She listened to me.
I prepared their dinner and served them and did the usual.
I was cleaning the dishes and kitchen when Cesca walked inside.
"Hi"
"Hi"
"How are you doing?"
"I'm fine you"
"I'm ok"
"I loved your Mac and cheese by the way"
"Thanks, I learnt it from my dad. He was a chef"
"I guess his blood runs in you huh," she said with a chuckle and I smiled.
"I miss your laughs you know. Remember back in Middle School when we kept a tiny snake in Miss Caramel's Water"
She asked making me smile remembering.
"You laughed hard when she saw the snake and jumped on her desk" I remembered and I chuckled.
"I wish you could still laugh like that but I think you've gone through a lot in your life recently which can't make you laugh"
And it's through since I got kidnapped when I was sixteen I haven't laughed since then.
"Do you need any help?"
"No, I'll manage you can go and sleep"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"Ok goodnight"
I nodded and she walked away. Carrie and Taylor had finished their work an hour ago and it was just left with me.
I finished my work an hour ago and went to my room.
I went straight to the bathroom and took my bath.
There were red marks on my butt from the whip this Dawn and it still hurts like hell.
I wore some black pyjamas. The shorts were short. No wonder it's called shorts.
I dried my hair and pulled it up in a ponytail.
I walked back to the room and Demon was there.
"Have you eaten?" he asked in a soft voice. Ok, this is weird and why is he asking me that.
"No, I'm not hungry"
"Have you eaten something since morning?"
"No"
"You should eat"
"Master please I'm not hungry"
"Let's go to the kitchen and get yourself something to eat"
"I'm ok master"
He held my hand and dragged me to the kitchen. Ok, this is weird why is he acting nice. Maybe he's drunk or just bipolar.
He opened the fridge and took out a carton of milk and poured some into a glass. He took some bread from the cabinet and gave it to me. I'm not hungry so why is he giving this to me. Is he trying to poison me?
"Here you go eat it up"
"But master please I'm not hungry"
"I said eat it"
"I'm not hungry please and I'm allergic to milk"
"Stop lying and take it"
"Master please"
He took the glass and held the back of my head and kept it at my lips.
"No please stop don't pour it in pl-"
I was cut off with him pouring it in my mouth.
"If you pour it out of your mouth you're going to regret it. Drink it I don't want the corpse of a dead maid slut in my house"
I swallowed it with force. I'm allergic to milk.
"Good girl now eat the bread"
I took the bread and ate it.
My breathing became fast.
"Now go to your room and stop pretending you're going to die"
He said and left. I walked to my room and still, I was breathing fast.
I walked to the bathroom and puked.
I walked into the kitchen the next morning. I couldn't sleep yesterday with my allergies.
I prepared their breakfast and did my work. I was chatting with Carrie and Taylor when everything began spinning. My breathing became slow.
"Keisha are you alright?"
I didn't answer. I fell on the floor suddenly.
"Keisha Keisha open your eyes"
I heard Carrie say.
"What happened here?"I heard Demon's voice.
"Sir she was just standing there when she started breathing slow and she fell on the floor"
So he allows them to call him sir and I call him master. Jerk.
"Sir her skin is turning blue," Taylor said. Allergies.
Everything blacked and all I heard was keep your eyes open Keisha before I blacked out.
Damon De Luca
I sat in the dining room eating my breakfast. It tasted great.
Keisha made delicious food. Yesterday when Avía returned from school she went to the kitchen and came out with a plate of cookies and cake.
I tasted it and it tasted like heaven.
She told me Keisha made it for. How can her parents sell her off to a cruel and cold-hearted man like me?
Taylor came to me with a panicked face.
"What has happened?"
"Sir Keisha fell on the floor in the kitchen and she's breathing slow"
I got up and went to the kitchen.
She was on the floor with her eyes closed and breathing slow.
"What Happened here"
"Sir she was standing there when she started breathing slow and she fell on the floor," Carrie said kneeling next to her.
She got up. Her skin began turning blue.
"Sir her skin is turning blue," Taylor said.
I kneeled next to her.
"Keisha keep your eyes open"
I said and she lied there not shaking like she used to.
I picked her up.
"Taylor call Toni to come right now"
I took her to her room.
Francesca was staring at me the whole time eating her bacon and eggs.
I kept her on her bed and looked at her face. It was pale and there were dark circles under her eyes like she hasn't been sleeping lately. She doesn't eat any wonder she fainted. Last night when I brought her to the kitchen to eat she refused to say she's allergic to milk which made me angry and I poured in her mouth.
Toni came minutes later and asked what happened and I explained everything to him.
He checked her up and I was standing there looking at them.
"Has she had milk lately?" he asked.
"Why?"
"She's allergic to milk and looks like she has taken some recently which caused her fainting, difficulty in breathing and poor circulation" so she wasn't lying.
"Are you sure she hasn't taken milk?"
" She has. Last night I gave it to her she told me she's allergic but I thought she was lying"
"How can you act so stupidly she could have lost her life any minute if I wasn't here quick why would you even give it to her"
"She hadn't eaten since morning so I forced her in taken. Since she got here she's been starving herself"
"And you gave her milk? stop always listening to your head. You fool. Stop acting like a child. pensi che Tuo padre ti abbia dato Questo affare perché voleva che tu fossi un pazzo pazzo. sa che Puoi gestire bene questo business ed è per questo che te lo ha dato. Compri ragazze per renderle le Tue domestiche. Devo dirlo, ma ti sei trasformato in uno sciocco a causa di questo business. sei diventato un Vero sciocco stupido".
He said and I was just looking at him in shock. Dad was never like I am. But I have a valid reason why.
"Ecco I suoi farmaci assicurati che lo prenda Ogni mattina e sera. Non-costringerla a fare qualcosa che non vuole. Potresti farla diventare pazza, sai che le persone allergie di solito ottengono infe
zioni cerebrali che non-sapresti perché sei insensato. se si sveglia e si comporta in modo strano come una persona pazza, incolpare te stesso. Stupida cagna idiota"
He said and walked out. Only Toni and Channel can talk to me like that since Mom and Dad passed away.
I stared at her face. She's suffering just because of me. I have to set things straight.
