Capítulo 5: Sister-In-Law My Ass
"And you, where do you think you're taking her to?" She looked at kate.
"M-master asked me to show her to her bedroom," the maid replied.
"What bedro..."
"Claire!" A deep voice called sending shivers down their body. "Stop it. From today you shall call her sister-in-law, understood? I'll come to look at your drawing later. Now, go to your bedroom," he ordered before walking away.
"Sister-in-law my ass. She's not even beautiful. Hmph!" She said and abruptly turned and walked away.
Madeline stood still with her mouth agape. Haha. Did a little girl just call her shameless and a mistress? Wow. Why was she finding all of this funny? Her whole life was funny. She has been facing all sorts of disrespect for the past week and the most painful part was the part of this little girl. Strange how much the maids were scared of her. She saw how Kate stuttered and shivered when she was answering her question. A little girl yield that much brattiness. Seems like someone needs to teach the spoiled girl some manners.
"Ma'am, please come with me. I'll show you to your bedroom," Kate said and Madeline quickly followed behind her as she gawk at the interiors of the mansion. Everywhere was sparkling gold. How rich was the guy she just got married to? Yes, she heard he was super rich but this? Gosh. Kate led her into a double door room and they both walked inside.
The room was so big and spacious and it could fit a whole family. It was painted grey. In fact, every piece of furniture in the room was grey. It wasn't as bright as her room in her dad's mansion and this made her feel uncomfortable. Seems like Mr. Elias is bent on punishing her by giving her this dull colored room to stay in. She was going to show him that she wasn't affected by it and she wasn't so weak.
"Ma'am, your belongings are yet to arrive, but we prepared a nightgown and a few clothes for you to wear. The nightgown is right there," Kate informed pointing at the long yellow nightgown Which lay on the bed.
"Ok thanks Kate," Madeline appreciated, giving her a small smile.
"Do you want me to help you with your gown?"
"Ah yes, maybe you can just help me untie the back strap. I'll do the rest myself."
"Of course," Kate agreed and she went ahead to help her untie the back strap of her gown.
"Thank you. I don't need anything else."
"It's my duty to help you with whatever you need. If you need something, please don't hesitate to ask me," Kate said and when she saw Madeline didn't really want anything else, she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. Madeline didn't hear the clicking sound of the door key, indicating that Kate had only closed the door and not locked it.
Madeline saw a door at the end of the wall and she guessed it might be the bathroom. She picked up the long nightgown from the bed and walked into the bathroom. She walked out of the bathroom, fully dressed in the nightgown and she sat down on the bed. She wriggled her legs and stared at the ceiling. This new life is so boring. This was her life from today, her new life and she need to accept it even if she doesn't want to. Her father's company was going to crumble at any little mistake of hers. Although she was angry with her dad, that doesn't mean she was going to let his company crumble. She knew how much he worked for the company to grow till that.
Madeline sighed and went under the covers. Sleeping is always peaceful without having to think or worry about anything. She wished she could sleep forever. She switched off the bedside lamp, closed her eyes, and bid herself goodnight.
......
At midnight, when the world was still and babies were asleep, the door of Madeline's room was pushed open and a tall and masked figure walked inside. He strode to the bed and stared at the girl lying on it. Her eyes were closed and her lips were slightly opened. Her long black hair spread on the pillow as soft snores came out of her mouth. He bent close to her face and examined her face. Hmm, now he noticed she was beautiful with a well-shaped face. Such a rare beauty. Well, that wasn't his concern as of now, he just need to accomplish his goal and get rid of her.
Elias was still staring at her when he saw her eyes fly open and her pair of green eyes stared widely at him. She screamed and sat up on the bed. Due to the shock of her, abruptly opening her eyes, he couldn't move and she had the chance to drag his golden mask off his face causing his eyes to widen. She immediately stretched her hands and turned on the light and the whole room shone brightly.
"Y...you?" Madeline asked, surprisingly staring at him and then at the golden mask in her hands. Did she just take his mask off? Omo. She stared into his dark angry eyes and shivered in fear. What if he does something to her or punishes her for taking his mask off? But what the hell was he doing in her room? Madeline suddenly felt insecure about this whole issue. It was even possible that he came here to kill her.
His dark brown eyes stared back at her. He was so handsome. She knew he was handsome because even his eyes say so but this? His hair was tied into a tight ponytail and his thick eyebrows were neatly trimmed. She looked down at his well-defined cheekbone and gasped. He was so perfect looking.
"W...what are you doing in my room? Don't you know what privacy means?" She inquired, standing up from the bed to face him. Why isn't he saying anything? He needs to understand that he can't just barge into her room just because it was his house. She blamed herself for not locking the door before sleeping.
