Isabella's POV
The moment they walked passed me I ran back to my room, i felt pressured right there like I would pee on my body.
What I just witnessed feared me so much?
Who are these people? What do they do? What have I gotten myself into?
Various questions just kept popping into my head and I only just answered Nate the night before that I was going to stay here to work for him.
Why didn't this happen earlier?
I just hope I've not made the wrong decision in my life.
I knew I had to go downstairs to start my work but I was scared,l feared for what might happen to me behind this room door.
I summoned courage, put on a bold face and made my way downstairs to the kitchen.
I entered the kitchen, I met the women in there and I greeted them.
They replied to me but I could sense something wasn't right. The reply was dry, it was without humour.
Everywhere was cold, is everything okay? I asked.
Lisa then cautioned me to keep quiet, now this isn't funny anymore. What in the world is going on?
Christabel spoke up eventually after long minutes of silence.
The house is on fire, you know, not literally though. Nate's angry right now because he found out that one of his men has been working as an insider for his rival.
He only found out a few days ago, a day before he brought you home.
Ohhh…that's pretty bad.
Yeah…so Nate is in a very bad mood right now as the man has refused to confess to him who he was working for.
Ohhh…
So we all need to be on our best behaviour so we don't attract Nate's wrath on ourselves.
I see… can I go and do my regular cleaning? I asked.
You sure can but be careful out there.
I smiled and then went out the kitchen door.
I said a little prayer in my heart to not meet with Nate and his men as I go about my work.
The prayers were answered because I did not meet with any of them.
I came back to the kitchen and told the women that it seemed Nate and his men weren't at home anymore.
They said they knew but the house was still cold.
The day went on pretty long, I also realized that since I came to this house, I had not stepped outside.
I didn't know what the place looked like outside.
I decided to go for a walk around the house.
The house was big, there was a garden with beautiful flowers, there was also a garage with a fleet of cars, there was a beautiful lawn with an outside bar and a swimming pool.
I also noticed a few single rooms on the west wing of the house. That must be where some of his men stay.
I got tired from my walk around the compound so I came back in the house. I sat in the living room and I felt bored already so I decided to ask Lisa how she met up with Nate and began working for him.
She looked at me, and I sensed she was contemplating if she should tell me or not.
I was also in an abusive relationship. I lived with my husband who was also angry. He was also a drunkard who spent all his money on drinks, women and his fellow drunkard friends.
He doesn't give me money, he never leaves for the upkeep of the house. He sleeps with me forcefully. I reported his behaviour to his family but to no avail.
They even told my husband about and that caused me more problems.
He has beaten me to the point where I lost my pregnancy twice and it affected me so badly.
I've deliberated on killing him several times because he has made my life so miserable.
I looked tattered and unkempt.
There was a night he came home drunk again, then he started asking for food, I told him there was no food because he didn't leave any money for feeding and before I knew what was happening again his hands were on me.
I began running around the house trying to get away from him. I was then later able to run out of the house but this did not stop him because he kept on pursuing me aiming to get me and taking me back home so he could deal with me before sleeping with me.
I know all this, that's what he always does to me, it was like a routine or ritual.
I kept running far from him and he kept pursuing me until I got to a dead end.
He caught me and then started pulling me by my hair towards the house. I was crying and begging but he refused to listen to me, he neither yielded nor burger to my plea.
We met up with some men on the way, they stopped us as they saw what my husband was doing to me.
He was told to leave me and that he should stop me by pulling my hair.
He refused to listen to them, before we knew what was happening, my husband had already picked a fight with the men.
Things became ugly for him when those men defended me and fought for me.
They beat my husband so much he couldn't even walk so they left him on the floor alone.
They were about to leave when I asked them what to do to appreciate them. They said it was nothing.
Until someone spoke again amongst them saying he would love me to leave my husband and come walk with him if I don't mind.
In no time I agreed to go with them, I got here and realised they were hard people.
I also found out that the person who offered me the job was 'The Boss' Nate.
A kind and dangerous man.
Ever since I've been working in the house without looking back.
Nate is like my saviour and this place is so nice. We are like families now.
Isabella, you remind me so much of myself, I was so sad when they brought
you to the house.
I felt some connection between you and me and I'm really happy that you are here.
