章節 1: one
I woke up with my alarm clock exploding my eardrums the third time. I finally sighed and got off my bed. This was weird, the alarm clock's ringing the third time and dad hasn't made an effort to shout at me that I'll be late for school. I turned my head to see a photo frame with a picture of mom and me. "I miss you so much" I whispered sitting on my bed.
My mom died due to lung cancer when I was eight. From that day till now I've not faced any step mother thanks to my dad he took care of me all alone. But, what's wrong? is he not well? I'm already late for school but, he still didn't showed up.
I closed the door behind me started walking downstairs. "Dad?" I shouted, finally walking towards the living room and to my surprise there was already three strangers present in my house. Only one person was sitting on the couch and the other two were standing like bodyguards
"Who are you?" I said softly because apparently I was really scared and I didn't have a good feeling about this.
"Oh well young lady, my name is Jerico Robins." The man sitting on the couch said with a smile.
"Where's my dad?" I asked politely and he frowned.
"Well, you don't know? Your dad took a huge amount from me a few months ago and when it's time to repay he's not showing up more often. We came in hope that you'll tell us but, since you don't know" He said and stood up. "...you're coming with us." He said proudly before both of his bodyguards took hold of my arms. What was he talking about? Dad borrowed money and where is he now? Did he even told me about this? Well the answer is clearly No but, who was this guy Jerico? A lot of questions were twirling in my mind.
"I'm not going anywhere, where's my dad?" I snapped trying to get my arms off their grip, but the it just tightened.
"I don't know where's your father, when he finally decides to come back and pay the amount he can come and take you, till then your coming with us." He said with a tight frown. I hate you dad.
One of the bodyguards pushed me into the back seat of a shiny black limousine and sat next to me gripping my hand tightly so, I wasn't able to do anything but, scream. "Hey! Let go" I screamed loudly. " Look, Mr Jerico my dad will come and pay the amount but, please let me go, I have a life, I can't miss school please!!" I requested politely silent tears rushing down my cheeks.
"Sorry darling" Does he think he can do anything? kidnapping anyone, ruining someone's teenage years and I don't even know when dad will decide to come back. What if someone rapes me? or I don't get anything to eat? That's the worse I can go through.
The car finally stopped and the door opened revealing a cream coloured mansion standing in front of me. "Oh my god!" I muttered under my breath and the bodyguards opened the door pushing me into the big mansion.
"Maria?" Jerico shouted as he stepped inside the mansion. "Maria?"
That's when a lady wearing a pink frock with a white apron showed up. She must've been 42 to 50 years old and still managed to look beautiful. "Yes sir? She asked politely.
"This girl will now work here and will help you with cleaning and other chores." He pushed me towards her. "She's our new maid." I glared at him sharply and he just shrugged it off walking out of the mansion. "I'll be up in a week" He said turning around and walking out of the mansion as his bodyguards followed him.
Maria smiled at me before going and closing the huge mansion's door's shut. "So, sweetheart what's your name?" She asked offering her hand to me for a hand shake. "I'm Maria, call me Mari."
I hesitantly moved my hand up before shaking hands with her. "I - I'm Sierra" I put my hand down. "What will I have to do?" I asked with a deep sigh.
"Nothing much, just help me cleaning rooms and other things I'll do myself you seem a bit young to do all." She said ruffling my hair and honestly she was really sweet and adorable.
"I can do the dishes." I said with a smile.
"Okay so you have to go and clean that room up there on the left side." She said and pointed towards a white door upstairs. There was something neatly written on it that I was unable to recognise.
"Who's room is that?" I asked.
"Um...It's Michael's room he's Jerico's son." She said. "I'll be right back go and have a seat, I'll come and show you your room." She said went towards something that seemed like the kitchen leaving me in an awkward silence.
I walked towards a big couch like it was so big. I sat on the couch and that's when I felt self conscious, I mean, I was so little compared to the freaking couch.
I was waiting for Maria and thats when I heard footsteps from behind me. I turned around to see a punk type of a guy approaching me. Oh, God I stopped breathing for a while. He had a smirk on his face, he was wearing a black V neck shirt that hugged his chest showing off his perfectly sculpted body, shiny Black hair and a lip piercing I couldn't stop but, drool.
"Who are you?" He asked with a cute grin.
I smiled and stood up from the large couch "I'm Sierra." I said dropping my face and staring at the floor trying to ignore his beautiful, doe brown eyes.
"Did I called you? because if I did sorry we'll have fun tomorrow babe." He said wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me towards his chest. I was taken aback, it was totally inappropriate.I kept both of my hands on his chest pushing him away.
"No, Mister whoever you are? You never called me and try not to display your emotions." I snapped and his eyes widened.
"Then, why the hell are you here?" He said grabbing my upper arm and dragging me towards the main door.
"Michael!" Someone shouted and we both turned around to see Maria. "Leave the girl!" She scolded him but, he shook his head. "I said let her go or you're grounded for a week, I'll talk to Sir about it." Finally he left my arm pushing me hard which made me fall on the ground. "Back to your room now!" She yelled and he stormed upstairs towards his room.
~*~
After all what happened today I was really upset. The way that boy whatever his name was Michael, I guess behaved with me, he surely doesn't know how to respect a girl. He probably thought that I was some prostitute he called to have "fun" with.
Maria showed me my room and it was the biggest room I've seen after their living room. After sitting on my bed and thinking about my dad and all that had happened with me today I was finally able to fall asleep.
I woke up and licked my dry lips, I felt thirsty. I sat on the bed and my eyes drifted towards the clock hanging on the wall in front of me and Alas! it was 1:06am.
I stood up lazily from my bed and started to walk towards the kitchen which was miles away considering the size of the mansion. The whole living room was dark and I could barely see anything.
I realised I stepped on something. I was too frightened to think, I screamed and all the lights flashed open revealing Maria in her white and pink gown and I turned my head to see Michael standing beside me with messy hair, just wearing his boxers. "What is going on here?" Maria asked and Michael and I exchanged glances.
"I was thirsty." I said and Maria smiled."And I stepped on his foot and shouted." I continued and Michael narrowed his eyes.
"You scared me for a moment I thought there was a burglar or someone." Maria said walking upstairs. "To your rooms, now." She ordered before stepping into her room and closing the door shut.
I took a water bottle and gulped in greedily, after I was satisfied I sighed, keeping the bottle on the counter. I started to move when suddenly someone gripped my upper arm tightly. I turned around to see a smirking Michael. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I snapped.
"Why are you here?" He asked and finally left my arm.
"None of your business." I stated.
"It's all my bussiness, it's my house. Mansion to be exact." He said smirking proudly. Why was he freaking smirking all the time? Did he attended any smirking classes?
"It's a long story, long story short I'm a new servant." I said
"My new maid, interesting." He said smirking again, how can someone smirk all the time? He turned around before walking upstairs towards his room.
What did he mean by Interesting?
