The morning sun rose gradually reflecting through the windows of a luxurious room. The glow fell on a girl whose long hair wandered around the bed, revealing her stunning features and giving her jade eyes a brilliant glow.
Jade eyes looked straight up at the ceiling in deep thought. She crossed her face with her arm and whispered silently;" damn you father!". She gently sat up and went and took a shower, got dressed in a white dress. It was simple yet formal, it slightly hinted to her slender figure.
Jade tied her hair into a ponytail and wore white matching shoes and took her luggage. While leaving she thought;"I'll get what's ours mom",she promised as she held her locket around her neck.
JADE POV.....
I walked down the stairs and saw my family as well as servants all waiting for a guest, then I heard my step mother; Charlotte yell; " get down here, don't keep us waiting. I walked down quietly, when I reached the ground floor my father forcefully yanked me to his side.
I saw a really handsome man with jet black hair and golden eyes walk into the mansion, he was wearing a black suit exclusively tailored for him. He was sorrounded by black clads of body guards.
My whole family bowed;" welcome young master. " He must be Nigel",I thought. Nigel barely spared a glance and snapped his fingers. I was led by bodyguards away, one of the body guards took my luggage. I turned to look back at my so called 'family' and saw my step sister Kayla waving me goodbye and she said;" you weren't useless after all".
I was led into a black limousine. It drove outside the estate and was heading to the El carte estate. Nigel looked at me and said; " you are now Jade El Carte you'll live when I say so and die when I say so. I really am screwed, I sighed and said; "well it's not like I have a choice but I have to ask how much was I worth?". Nigel replied looking out the window; " Ten million", I replied;" ten million huhn".
I actually cost more, if you wanna sell me then sell right. The limo drove into a magnificent estate ten times bigger than mine, it took a thirty minute drive to get to the main estate. It was a gigantic mansion it was real definition of luxury.
"Get down!" Nigel said which I obviously did. " Welcome young master ", we were greeted by a butler. Then a young lady came out of the mansion and hugged Nigel and kissed him; I missed you a lot, did you bring the thing?, Nigel answered softly; "Yeah I did"and they walked down into the mansion.
The butler walked up to me and said;" follow me young miss I'll take you to your room. I replied; "ok". Servants took my luggage behind us and we got took the elevator to the third floor.
We walked down a hall way which looked really modern and classy. I asked the butler;" uhmm, who was that woman with the young master?", he answered; she's just an acquaintance.
Well in my opinion acquaintances doesn't kiss other friends not that it bother's me though. I couldn't help but notice a pang of bitterness in his tone."Well if you don't mind can I know your name?". " It's Hilbert ma'am". He replied. The man Infront of me looked liked someone in his twenties he had good features but it's no match for Nigel.
We got to a really large luxurious room, the servants dropped my luggage in the room. I bowed and thanked him he looked shocked at first but then he smiled and left.
I went unpack my stuff in the large wardrobe but it already had really expensive and highend clothes, bags and shoes in it. I saw a card, black and platinum card in it. The card read;" these are for you young mistress",so It was obvious what they did. I just stuffed the black and platinum card in the darkest corners of the wardrobe, I don't need them.
I freshened up and changed into less formal and comfortable clothes and took out my laptop. I had to check on my pharmaceutical organization after all we're the best in the country. I left the organization under my loyal friend Christina Aguilera, she's the number one doctor in the country. That's after me of course. She's really loyal.
Time flew by and heard a knock on the door;" please young mistress come down for dinner. I closed my computer and took the elevator to the ground floor and arrived at the dining area. Unfortunately, I arrived same time as Nigel and Lilly, I heard her name from a servant. Just my bad luck.
"Sit" Nigel said coldly, and I did. I saw a little boy holding on to Nigel's index finger,he had golden eyes and black hair. Nigel spoke; this is my brother Alexis, please keep your distance. From his behavior I can clearly see his autistic.
While we ate, Lilly spoke cheerfully;" can I sleep in your room tonight?, am bored in mine." I almost choked on my food when I heard that not that it bother's me but who saids that out loud. The expression on Hilbert's face was dark, after some time Nigel told Hilbert to take Alexis upstairs because he felt sleepy, Alexis was taken to his room.
I quickly finished up and wanted to leave these people alone, when I heard Lilly;" who gave you permission to leave?". I turned back and replied;" I finished early so I was just heading to my room".
She made a mocking expression and said; You have no will of your own, after all your someone's property". I really hate this girl, she makes my blood boil. I smiled painfully;" I'll ask next time", damn you!, but I couldn't say that out loud, of course.
I took the elevator but accidentally pressed the button for the fourth floor.I realized when I got there, but when the elevator doors opened , I saw Alexis lying on the floor with beads of tears flowing down his face.
I panicked and picked him up and went to his room but it was dark,this must be the reason for his meltdown, autistic patients have a very fragile mental state. I took the elevator and took him to my room. Alexis buried his face in my shoulders and held me tight.I patted him;" am afraid of the dark, it's scary",he cried.
I took him to my balcony and called him softly;"Alexis do you know that there are billions of stars in the galaxy. He replied; yes l do, still with his face buried. I continued; stars are so far away and yet they glow , I smiled; kinda reminds me of a night light. Alexis looked up and instantly calmed down.
He spoke; "can I sleep in your room tonight?". I was shocked, that could cause trouble but when I looked at the little boy in my arms, I agreed. I patted him to sleep, then I heard a knock on the door, I opened it to see Hilbert and Nigel!!, shit!.
I panicked, Hilbert spoke;" we were just looking for Alexis seems he's here and sleeping soundly, I have never seen him sleep this calmly before". Nigel spoke;" then I'll leave him to you then ", and they left. Well that went better than I expected.
I gently placed Alexis on my bed and took a bath. In the tub, all I could think of was my mum. The method I used, was what she used on me when I was I child. Tears rolled down my cheeks;" I really miss her".
I wore my night wear a light white shirt and white shorts. I really like white. I lay down next to Alexis and fell asleep.
