"No am okay thanks anyway i will have to go now " I says and he smiles making my heart miss a bit
"Alright then" he says and walk away while I sigh
"Mam are you okay? Vida asked walking towards me
I nodded and collected my phone from her
"Why did I ask her to bring the phone again? Gosh I can't believe an losing my mind because of a stranger
"We should go home now then mam".
"Yes ! Yes sure we will "I stammered as I walk out while she gather the clothes and heels I bought
||Zachery||
"What do you mean By that? I asked him as I cleaned my mouth
"Zach you don't allow your mistresses to go out back then so why her?
I sighed as I opened the pack of cigratte beside me and took out one stick then light it
"She's my mistress, I do what I want with her okay besides why are caring about her all of the sudden?
"Hey I was only looking out on you" he laughs and I stare at him
"I will be in my room"
||Fidra||
I pulled out at manager's office where the registration for the music contract will be going on
I adjusted my sunglasses as I walked into the office
"Miss Fidra Lucy? The manager asked and i nodded
"Are you the one signing in?
"No, a friend of mine! How much is involved for the winner? I asks
"$3000 ," he says and i nodded
I was about replying when i messaged beeps into my phone and I stared at it, it was from Sera
*I will be masked* the message reads
I sighed why does I feel like something is not normal??.
I scoff, like seriously why is Sera acting weird this days?
"Are you okay ma? The manager asked and I smiled at him nodding
"Am okay"
"So what's the name of the candidate?
"Sera Ella Vector" I said and he stared at me
"What? I scoff
"Nothing ma,I will do it right away not to worry'' he smiles
~
I stepped out of the manager's office and walked to my car removing my sunglasses
I stared at Sera's message again and sighed, who does that?
When last did mask singers even anticipated in singing?
Zachery is rich and Sera shouldn't be any scared
Wait a minute, it can't be what am thinking right?
Sera can't be the new mistress right?
Damnnit!! She's the fuckin new mistress!
Why did she lied to me? Why did she hide things away from me? We have been friends for like forever so why did she hide it from me?
Telling me Zachery was the one she wants to be with?
Why didnt she tell me it was a forced marriage?
Zachery!!
How much I hated hearing his name
I cleaned the tears in my eyes, Why did he kept on going for the people I cherish??
||SERA||
I stepped down from the car and sighed, I was damn tired though happy cause at least I got someone who puts a smile on my face
Even though it was just for a minute but I will cherish that minute forever
I walked into the house and everywhere were calm, well maybe Zach is not home
Like who cares?
I climbed upstairs with Vida following me behind with the shopping bags
I sat on my bed and sighed , Damn am really tired but I have to prepare for the contract coming up tomorrow
Damn! How will I go about with it? Where will I tell Zachery that am going?
God , I can't believe my mind is blank
Yeah I know its not yet night to be saying I have just this night left but still I needed to be prepared
"Mam are you okay? Have been talking to you for minutes now" Vida says interrupting my thoughts
What? Minutes!?
"Uhmm, yes am fine what did you said?
"I will have to go and announce our presence to Master Zachery"
"Why? Is he at home? I asked biting my lashes
"Yes ma, his personal guards informed me "
I nodded as I stood up. "You can leave"
~
I know I should ask Vida for help on how to leave without Zach noticing my presence but that will be engaging her work here
Beside I can't seem to trust her for it, what if Zach told her to gather information from me?
I sighed as I dried my hair, I just finished taking my bath
I stood up and walked to the closet where I selected a pink skirt and a blue sleeveless top then I put in my flip-flop
I sat on the bed and brought out my singing book
Thank goddess I was able to bring it in here,I sighed and opened it
Damn! Which song am I to go with?
~
I walked down the passage room yawning, it was 4pm in the evening
I stopped walking and stared at a door
All the days I had spent here I have noticed that no one had entered the room not even Zachery
What could be in there?
The door was different from all the other doors
I closed my eyes as I couldn't resist the urge to open the door
I held the door handle and twist it as the door clicked open
I stepped in
............
I held the door handle and twist it as the door clicked openI stepped in and every where was very dark, I found the switch on the wall and I turned on the lightsEverywhere was painted with Red and black and only chairs were in the roomI sighed, maybe nothing is here anywayI turned to leave but I noticed somethingThe wall has a hidden door, I noticed it cause my father once told me about itI walked towards it and pushed it backwards and the wall opened revealing another roomDamn! I was rightI smiled as I walked towards the room and I couldn't believe what I sawDifferent collection of golds, Silvers and DiamondI touched them one after the other as I smiled, this is really worth a billon of dollars eachDamn, Zachery is very rich after all , if only he's not cold hearthedI sighed as I continued walking around admiring each of Diamonds I seeWell each side has it owns collection , The G
I turned sharply in fear as my phone slipped off my handI sighed in relief when I saw it was just the cell guard"Vida ? What are you doing here?" He says"Shh!! I says as I used my palm to cover his mouth"Why are you here? I asked him"I was just asked to check up on you"he says and I nodded."What are you doing? He asks and I sighed then bent to pick up my phone"Ryan, Miss Sera is the one we were asked to protect"||Sera||I paid the cab man off as I rush into Fidra house , I just hope he haven't leaveI knocked on the door and her maid opened then smiled when she saw"Miss Sera? We miss you please come in" I nodded and entered the houseNothing had really change"Is she in? I asked referring to fidra"Yes ma" she bowed and I smile at her and walked towards fidra's roomI knocked on the door and she opened almost immediately"Oh Damn! Girl!!" She yelled hugging me
I break the kiss and moved back as I hit my back on one of the parked cars as I stared at him"Am sorry, I.....I didn't mean to".he said and turned sharply disappearing into the darkI couldn't think of what just happened but that hand, that blue eyes which shone in the night shadowI was sure he was the same man I meet at the super market.How did he find out it was me? Is he spying on me or....."Sera! Damn sorry I was late ,the result will be out tomorrow evening and then the second audition will be taking place" Fidra said as I turned to her"Oh, okay""You Good? You sing really great and I bet you will win it to the second house" she says and I smiled at her~Inside Fidra's car as she drove me home I couldn't get my head off what just happened,Why do I keep feeling this weird sensation?"Sera, you have been my friend for fifteen years and to think that you can actually hide shits from me sucks"
||Sera||"You sent for me? I said to Zach as I stood in front of him with my heart beating fasterI have successfully entered the house with the help of one of guards ,Ryan."You are out of cell not because I have forgiven you for your craziness but because my mother will be visiting here tomorrow and she won't ............, Did you even get me?he asked and i blinked my eyes nodding"You put on your best behavior or I won't spare you, leave my room" I nodded again and walked out of the room to mineI sighed as I sat on the bed facing the ceiling, my mother I really need to hear from her but that will be tomorrow, I really need the best of rest nowI yawned and lay on the bed, after the song I felt much better and strongI smiled and shut my eyes waiting patiently for sleep~The early morning sun shone on my face as I opened my eyes yawning"Good morning ma" I turned to meet Vida smiling at me"Morning" I s
||Sera||I stared at my self once more in the mirror and was satisfied, I was dressed on red gown and white flip flopMy hair was tamed and was arranged in red and white ribbon, I had applied a light make-up which look great on me.Well, I should be in my best behaviorThe door opened and I took my gaze away from the mirror and turned to look at who entered, it was Vida"The High family arrives,your presence is needed" she said bowing"I will be there in a minute" I replied her and she nodded walking outI took one more gaze at the mirror and grab my phone as I stepped out of my room shutting the door behindI walked down the stairs feeling nervous as I count the number of the stairs I was onSuccessfully I climbed down the stairs without missing any steps, I walked outside where Vida had informed me Zachery wasI stood beside him as the guards opened the car door for the family , Zachery just stared me on gaze an
||Sera||I sat in my room as I scrolled down on my phone, I have successfully maintained an unsuspicious face at the dining roomI sighed and kept my phone beside me as I rubbed my palmMy life was a mess!A complicated life at that.My mother's word still got me more confused "You're the chosen one"Well, she can say anything just to make sure I stayed hereThe door of my room opened and Eva entered smiling"You okay? She asked ad sat beside me, I smiled at her and nodded"Am Great""So,how is your stay here? Hope Zach is not bored? She askedI swallowed as I stared at her, how I wish i can tell her he was the most grumpy fellow I had ever meet"Not at all,he's sweet" I replied"Yeah I guess,Uhmm what are you good at?"Huh?"I mean,what are you perfect at? She asked and I smiledAt least someone cared!"Am Good at singing""Wow!! Am good at dancing but am re
||AVA||I stepped into my room and fall on the bed, wow I missed this place so muchI rang the bell on the small table beside my bed and a maid entered immediately"You request for me".I stared at her and scoff, does Zachery give them so much opportunity that they all lost there manners?"Are you stupid?? Can't you bow?!! I yelled at her and she shivered"Am sorry' she said and bowed while I smiled"Get your smelling body out of my room" I yelled again and she obeyed and rushed outI walked to my bag and brought out a bubble gum from it and opened it then trow it into my mouthI walked back to my bed and brought out my phone as I placed a call MaryThinking about the lady I meet downstairs, I hated her at first sightTo think Zach ever wedded her get me more annoyed, she doesn't know me yetI will make sure I made her leave this house and that is by the help of MaryI smirked and dailed her n
||VIDA||I sat in my room waiting patiently for Ryan to enter which he did after five minutes of waiting for him"You okay? He asked and sat beside me"Yeah am good just worried" I replied rubbing my neck"Worried,? about what actually?"Ryan have you ever thought why boss sent us here to protect miss Sera?""Oh that? Well maybe he had a connection with her who knows? I have thought about that lately" He replied and I nodded.A minute of silence cramped into the room as both of us were lost in thought"Am worried about Miss Sera's safety here, I over heard Ava putting a call across Mary that bossy bitch, I just don't know but if she's to come into this house for her called vacation I wonder how Sera will cope around her""You shouldn't think that Vida, even though I haven't stay around her but I see her brave" Ryan replied and I sighed"I know that Ryan but you know Mary, she can be difficult sometimes, anyway I h
