I didn't want to face him the monster that just changed my life within a few minutes, My heart didn't stop pounding in my chest, The thought of him walking into the room was enough to send my thoughts running wild, I couldn't prepare myself for what will happen next.
To my surprise a maid walked in, She was petite with short black hair. She wore a red dress that reached knee length and wore pantyhose that was transparent and revealed her legs. She had big Doe eyes. She looked gentle and couldn't look me in the eye. With a nervous smile, she said to me.
"I' am Janet Ma, I'll be at your service"
She said with her head facing downwards, This cannot be my life, Staying in this place with all these strangers, This certainly can not be my life. I didn't respond to her and I could see she grew worried, Maybe she thought I was unhappy with the way she presented herself. She looked more tense now and she said again.
"I will be at your service any and anytime, I'll be your right hand always" This must be some kind of joke, I will never accept that this is my fate, I can't be locked up like this, I still didn't answer the oblivious girl standing at my door, she went on to say "only if you find me worthy of-" I cut her short in annoyance. "Do you know what I want?"
Janet shook her head slowly and I replied "I need a way out of here"
She gasped and looked at me quickly before returning to her previous position. "Ma'am I can't help with that, sorry Ma-am" Janet said innocently, I grew angry and threw the pillow lying on my bed at her, and I yelled "Leave me alone, get out" I glared at her and she hurriedly bowed her head and apologized "I am sorry ma'am I will leave you be now" She left the room and shut the door, I sat on the floor and cried bitterly, My outburst was unlike me, I didn't mean to react that way, And the innocent lady got my backlash but the frustration is getting to me.
I won't be able to see my family members, I am stuck here all because of a man, A man I don't even know, After a few minutes, My eyes had already gotten swollen from the number of tears I had shed, I was already tired of crying, I heard a knock on the door and I sprung up, It has to be Carson this time, I got prepared to give him a piece of my mind but when the door opened I was Janet again.
"You again?" I asked in surprise, I was taken aback, considering what had just happened a few minutes ago.
"Yes ma'am" With her head still facing the floor Janet replied.
"What do you want" I said as calmly as possible, it wasn't her fault I was in this situation, and I shouldn't blame her.
"Do you mind having a bath ma'am?" Janet said with her head lowered down, Before I could reply an elderly woman came into my room. She had gray hair. She wore a long skirt with a matching top and a belt at the middle of her waist, I could tell her presence was fierce because I could see Janet becoming tense again.
"Welcome madam, I am Shanice, and I am the head of workers in this mansion," The elderly woman said respectfully.
"Okay" I simply said, I could see her face twisting negatively. But she hid it in a split second and went ahead to ask me about Janet.
"This will be your maid, She will be tending to your needs," Shanice said
"I don't need one thank you" I replied in the most polite way I could, Even after being in such a distraught situation, I still tried to remain as respectful and as calm as I possibly could.
"Please understand that this is the instruction given," Shanice said hastily, I could already hear the tone of impatience in her voice
"By who?" I said, not ready to give in to whatever they wanted
"By sir" Shanice replied
"Tell sir I do not care, now leave me be," I said at this point I was already losing my cool.
"But-" Shanice tried to speak but I hushed her up quickly
"But nothing, now leave," I said, turning my face away from her. When I heard the door close I turned around and saw Janet still standing there but this time she had a smile on her face, it was subtle but easily seen.
I'm sure she was smiling at the way I treated Shanice, why else would she be smiling? She seemed like a lovely girl but I don't plan on staying long enough to get to know her.
"Why are you still here?" I asked Janet who stopped smiling immediately when she heard my voice.
"I'm here to tend to your needs, ma'am," Janet said respectfully.
"You have been saying that, say something else" I already knew what she was told to do, It was already tiring, She looked confused.
"Shall I make the bath ready for you?" Janet asked innocently
"You can leave now" I dismissed her, She turned and left and I sat on the bed, soliloquizing. I was in deep thought, Looking for ways to leave this harsh reality, Exhaustion crept in and I slowly closed my eyes and drifted into sleep unknowingly, I was so tired from the wailing, that I was deep into sleep when I felt a lingering feeling around me, My heart was pounding and I was in distress, I snapped open my eyes and I found nothing looming around the darkness of my room, I pondered about the possibility of having the stranger that put me in this condition in my room I stayed up for a while before I fell asleep again and the silence continued, I felt a cold breeze on my shoulder, I immediately opened my eyes.
