View MoreMackenzie's POV:Exhausted from the day's stress and hurt by Caleb's silence since morning—all because of that one question I asked. I succumbed to sleep. Waking up just now, I found it was nearing midnight, and my stomach was crying out with hunger. Knowing the maids would be fast asleep, I hesitated to disturb them, feeling it would be selfish to rouse them at such a late hour.Besides, it's my first time living with maids around. I have always done everything myself, and I wish not to start living the life of ordering my fellow beings around just to obey my command and satisfy myself.I got out of the bed, sliding my feet into my flip-flops. I walked out of the room and headed downstairs straight to the kitchen. I stood in front of the fridge which I had opened a second ago, thinking about what to take out from it and prepare to eat. The choices to make were many, I have never been in this scenario or tried to choose what I should. But now, it's as if I relocated to living in a par
Mackenzie's POV: Caleb asked me to sit back, but I was just too stubborn—now look what it's caused me. I should've listened to him. My heart was racing at breakneck speed, the pulsating beats resounding loud and clear. As I staggered backwards, I inched closer to the dining table, my words spilling out in a frantic whisper. All I managed to articulate was a single, desperate question."What can I do for you?” One of the men chuckled, “Don't pretend you don't know us, you definitely know what and why we are here!” He sparked. This one has a hefty body, his broad chest of that of me packed together in six places. I could tell that he is the leader or the one standing next to him. “Cat got your tongue?” He asked, bringing me back out of my thoughts."I know why you are here…and I am not running away. I have no means of raising the money you want, so I'm trying to work with Caleb's father. Can you please give me some time? I would.”“Time? That is what we don't have," he interrupted. “I
Mackenzie's Pov I stared outside the window as it rained heavily, my heart was bleeding and I was filled with regrets. If I had known he would keep me as a prisoner then I wouldn't have come here, he locked me up in this room and took my phone away. What if the hospital calls? What am I going to do now? It's been two days and I have screamed, cried, and begged until my throat became sore. I sound like a broken record if I try talking and I'm pretty sure I look like one too, the door creaked open and I just know it's one of those damn maids. "I was told you refuse to eat, even if you are on a diet I don't want you dying on me" I turned at the sound of his voice, now that I think of it he sounds familiar too. "Will you let me go? Or are you planning on kidnapping me as revenge for your son?" I glared at the fucker, he ran his finger through his hair and sighed. I hated how insanely attractive he was and I hated myself for acknowledging that. "I don't want it to be like this Ma
Mackenzie's Pov It's funny how someone's life could change drastically overnight, as soon as I saw the light of dawn I left for his father's house. What has he gotten himself into this time? He never told me he owed money, which makes sense now why he stole from me. But who the hell are these people? They seem dangerous. The drive to his father's house was a long one and I was a bit shocked that the car halted in front of a fancy gigantic gate, "Here you go Miss" The driver said and I looked around noticing the neighborhood looked rich. "Are you sure this is the place?" I asked unable to accept that this is his father's house, Dan works but half the time he relies on me for a lot of things most especially after I started working as a night ballerina. I bought groceries, I pay for water and electricity bills, he brings half the rent and I pay the rest. Now that I think of it he never really did much for me. "Yes Miss, this is the place shown on the map" He clarified and I took
