CHAPTER FIVE - Becoming his Slave

 CARINA.

I got a text from Drake for me. He said he couldn't come pick me up but he's gonna send his driver to do it this evening. 

He also asked me to pack my things as I'll be living and working for him until he decides to change his mind. Not that I can't go but I'll have to beg him to let me check on my family at least. 

I can't let him know about my daughter because he may use her as a way to get to me. I'm scared to leave my daughter too but I don't have a choice. 

I already talked about it with my parents today. I lied about getting a new job as a cook at for a very wealthy couple and I need to move in with them. 

It was a bit hard getting them to believe me and agree to it but in the and I made them see reasons enough for them to let me go. 

I told them the pay was very good even though I don't know if he's going to pay me well considering the fact that I'm a thief. I'll just use the rest of the money as my upkeep till I can think of what to do. 

       "Do you really have to leave Momma? I'm going to miss you and its going to be so boring without you here mommy." Fiona said with a sad look. 

       "Baby I'm sorry but I'm doing this for you. I want you to have a better life besides its only for a short time. I only want to make good money enough for me to start up my own restaurant. I'll also miss you but I'm going to check on you frequently." 

     "Really Mommy?." Her eyes glittered. 

       "Yes sweetie. I want you to be a good girl and not give grandma and grandpa problems okay?."

She nodded. 

      "I promise to be a good girl and always make you happy. Don't cry Mommy. Big girls don't cry. I'm going to be fine. Grandma and grandpa are here and aunt Rosa also. I'm going to help you take care of her." She said with a smile to cheer me up. 

I didn't realize tears were already strolling down my face. I wiped it and smiled at her. My daughter is such a wonderful and strong girl. Even though she's sad, she's trying to smile so I wouldn't worry about her. 

        "I'm not crying sweetie. I'm just happy to have such a wonderful daughter. I love you so much my baby."

She hugged me. 

      "I love you to Momma." She calls me Momma and Mommy. 

I heard a car horn outside the house. I guess the picker is here. I took my bag outside and saw a car waiting on front of the house. The driver came out and collected my luggage. I went back inside to say goodbye to Dad and Fiona. 

Mom's at the hospital still watching over Rosa even though she is going to her business place for a few hours. 

        "I'll go ahead now. Please take good care of yourselves." I said. 

       "Take care Carina. Don't worry about Fiona. You know she's in good hands." Dad replied with a smile. 

       "I know Dad. That's why I'm relieved. Don't worry about me. Fiona always obey grandma and grandpa. Make sure you study well and stay out of trouble in school." 

     "Yes Momma. Go ahead now. The driver may get mad. Bye Momma." She hugged me. 

I hugged Dad also and waved them goodbye. The driver was already honking so I rushed out into the car. The driver is a middle ages man. We didn't talk much, the ride was silent. 

We finally got to his mansion after about an hour. I got down from the car and took my luggage from him. He led me inside the house which I can't stop looking at. 

Is this someone's house or what? This place is so large and it looks like a palace. I wonder if he's married with kids, Is he related to the royal family or what?

We got inside and I couldn't close my mouth. Wow. Everywhere looks so amazing. Its decorated with glass doors and walls on some sides and so many amazing features. This man does have a great taste. 

The driver asked me to wait in the living room. I took a seat on the big soft sofa while still looking around. 

        "Like what you see?." A familiar voice interrupted my review.

I stood up and saw him coming down with a drink in his hand. He had a smirk on. He's not even dressed well. He's wearing a body tight armless shirt that's revealing all his abs and muscles.

I can't deny he's so sexy and good looking.

        "You sure do like many things. You can take a picture. They last longer." He said making me feel embarrassed but I kept my cool. 

I'm not gonna let him get to me. 

       "Hi... Uh...Good evening sir." I said trying not to show my nervousness. 

He makes me nervous every time he's near me. I don't understand how he managed to have this much effect on me. Perhaps its all because of what I did to him. Because I feel bad and guilty. 

       "Welcome dear Carina. I hope you were not too bored getting here?." He asked. 

       "Not really."

     "Not to beat around the bush. You're going to work for me from now on. You're going to work as a maid and anything I want you to be. Mostly you'll have to be the one to cook my food no matter how much the work load is. You can't leave without informing me. You're not allowed to disobey me and you only have to do whatever I ask you to do. Don't dare me so you won't see the other side of me." He said facing me. 

I saw a very cold look on his face. I hadn't seen the look in my last two encounters with him. Something tells me I'm not going to have a good time. What am I even saying? What good time am I expecting to have after what I did?

         "Do you understand? Or do I need to elaborate?." 

        "I understand." I replied facing down. 

I can't seem to face him. His eyes are so familiar. I just don't understand why his eyes are familiar but they always remind me of someone. 

       "I'm going to have one of my workers take you to your room. Then you have to prepare my dinner within an hour. I hope you don't make me wait too long. You don't want to get me angry do you?."

I shook my head. He smirked and walked away. Just then a young lady my age I think came towards me. She had beautiful jet black hair with a smile on her face. She is dressed in a nice white shirt and blue skirt. 

       "Hi. I'm Gina, the new head maid. You must be Carina. You're welcome to this mansion. I'm going to show you your room and all your chores. Luckily your room is next to mine. Let's go." She said leading the way for me. 

  I didn't say anything as I just nodded. I followed her as we walked down a hall and stopped in front of a room. She opened it with a key and walked inside. I followed her in. 

Wow. This is my room? Its much bigger than my room in my parents house. 

This is a maid's room? I wonder how the boss' room will look. Maybe more enormous. 

      "You're so lucky to have a room all to yourself. All the other maids share a room. I'm the only one with a room to myself since I'm the head maid. I think you're special to the boss. How did you know him?." She asked. 

I sighed. 

       "Its a long story Gina. I'm not really in the mood to tell what happened now." 

       "You don't look happy to be here. You see my dear, most people want to have a job here. Mr Drake is very generous with his pay. Didn't you apply for a job here?." 

As I was about to answer her the telephone in the room rang. I quickly picked it up since my guess is that its him. 

       "Sir?." I said. 

     "I don't see you cooking in the kitchen. Are you trying to see what I can do? You only have forty minutes left." He said and hung up. 

Drake John Sunders. You're a jerk. 

I did a research on him yesterday after asking my boss at the restaurant about him. 

       "Its the boss right? Let's go before he gets angry. We don't want that to happen now do we?." She dragged me out. 

She stopped in front of the kitchen which is so enormous. What more surprise awaits me in this house? We walked in and saw two maids working in the kitchen. They were dressed in a blue and white tight short gown and their hairs were well styles. Their uniform doesn't even indicate they're maids. I commend Gina because I guess its her job to choose the uniforms. She signalled them to leave.

      "What are you going to cook?." She asked me. 

   Something that will blow his mind away. Something he has never tasted before. I thought.
