He said in a more serious tone " Let's cut a deal,if you reject, your family will suffer and if you accept I'll make sure your family gets what they want.so, is it a yes or a yes" " What? We owe you nothing We just finished paying!" I said in an angry tone. With the swift of his hand, a black clad man caught dad and placed a pistol on his head. "Let go of him let go of my dad!" I screamed but Mr. Queens only stared at me and puffed out smoke from his mouth." You know what to do kitty" he said grinning from ear to ear.
Giving it a good thought, I agreed ." I...I accept. Only if you promise to let my family be" " No honey you can't!!" Dad cried as I watched him being dragged out of the office.
Is stood motionless for seconds before regaining my composure. I was lead out by a middle aged woman who brought me ta a black bently and on the left side was Mr. Queens son, my new owner.
Tears filled my eyes and my eyelids twitched in despair. I lowered myself into the car and it sped away immediately
Turning my head to his direction only to find his rear slivery orbs starring deep into my soul like a predator ready to devour it's prey.
...I turned back the moment I heard the screening sound of the tyres. "This way ma'm" the driver said as he extended his hands towards me.
His handsome and charming face curved into a genuine smile which dissipated my agony and anger. In order not to appear rude, I received his hand ,though my smile was fake, I did feel relieved.
After a quick evening tour by the maid who I found out had worked here for 9 years I went back to the Romney assigned to me by my masters. Surprising thing is that I still know nothing about him not even his name and he hardly spoke too. As I laied on the bed I thought about what had happened to my life within a night. I wish I didn't follow my father but the deed has been done.l didn't know when and how but I soon drifted to sleep without feeling dejected or alone but rather safe.
Monday mornings! Urgh! I woke up and my mind went blank for some seconds before I realised where I was . I had read a lot of novels where mistresses were abused and taken advantage of. Is this how my life is going to be? As some godforsaken 17 years old mistress? It created a fuss in my mind but I shone it off and smiled .Erwin would say " positive vibe".
I turned my head to the black digital clock on the wall and found out it was half past 5. I couldn't sit in bed like a vegetable, so I decided to go to the kitchen and help the maids prepare breakfast.
When I got to the hall way, I saw 4 paths leading to different places . I stood in the middle trying my possible best to remember my tour. Shrugging my shoders ,I turned to the path on my left and walked surveying the place .Then I heard a deep voice from behind which startled me causing me to hit the blue porcelain jar that fell and broke that instant. I turned only to see the charming driver who helped me yesternight. "Sorry I didn't mean to startle you its just that this hallway is for male workers." I looked at him then around the hallway trying to figure out if he was lying. ' stupid why would he lie to you.' I thought ,smiling foolishly. "I'm Oliver and you are.....?" " Alicia. Alicia"
"Nice to meet you Alicia. " he said and I nodded. "If i may ask, why are you out by this time? ". Feeling a little embarrassed, I rubbed my nose a little before answering him."I wanted to help in preparing breakfast but I lost my way and oh, i didn't mean to break that." I said referring to the jar with my head hunged low.
"It's okay I'll talk to the boss about that and please follow me to the kitchen ".
I smiled at him as we walked towards the kitchen. It was fun to gave someone like Oliver around. I did keep my distance from him but he was just too bubbly and likeable.
Breakfast was served and right in front of me was the devil's son. ' My future is important so I have to do this' I thought as l mustered all the courage left in me to ask if he would allow me go to school. Just as my first word fell, he gave me a chilling stare that drained all my courage like a 4years old sucking on a juice box." I wanted to ask if you will allow me to continue my education or not" it felt like a heavy weight was lifted off me when l said what l had to say. Now l was just waiting for his response as to continue or not. " You can go tomorrow if ypu want". He replied coldly but who cared about his tone if voice when l get to go to school again. So l wouldn't be deprived my educational right after all.
