DEVON
Just as I was about taking an excuse to leave the table with Tyler, my dad stood up making me stop right on track.
“I’m done eating as well. And since it’s going to be a very long night, I have to get myself prepared” he stated with a grin as I balled my fist quietly. I simply nodded and watched him leave the dinner table.
Taking a long lasting glance at Tyler, he walks out of the dinner room.
I sniffed while Sharon clears her throat. Suspicious of her behavior, I turned to her with a questioning brow
“What a wife Gonzalez has gotten for himself” Sharon remarked obviously trying to start up a conversation about Serena.
“Can’t you guys see that everything about her is just too suspicious…I mean, she’s just too bad at acting” she added rendering me speechless. I had nothing to say about her statement. She can’t relate and nothing is going to make me let her relate to what is going on.
“Aren’t you going to say anything?” She queried in frustratingly.
“Simply there is nothing to say Sharon. And it will be better to just keep our mouths shut rather than provoking Gonzalez” Tyler responded walking back into the dinner room and I understood him walking back. He obviously wants me to get my ass up to my room for some sorting.
“Gonzalez does not like her that much the way you are terming it. He is just going to get into her panties and then treat her like every other maid under this mansion” Sharon retorted and I just couldn’t keep it in any longer.
“Can you just shut the fuck up and stop blabbing. You should know your boundaries by now. You are just a P.A and nothing more so stop acting you are part of the Gonzalez!. I’m out of here” o responded before storming out while Tyler walked along.

Getting into my room, I hit the wall hard in anger.
“Fuck! Fuck!! Fuck!!!” I yelled to myself with one hand on my waist and the other dumpling my hair frustratingly.
“Come on…this is not the time to hurt yourself. Just keep calm okay?” Tyler tried reassuring me but I was over it already.
“Don’t tell me to keep calm Tyler. I have to face the reality that I’m in a deep shit. My father wants to be with someone I’ve fucked??… he knows nothing about it but can’t you see I won’t be able to keep such thing to myself. What if she tells him.. you know how fierce Gonzalez can be! The fact that he also wants that same body tonight” I uttered feeling unsettled as I ranted.
“I know and I understand but come to think of it, she wouldn’t want Gonzalez to find out about something as dreadful as that. There’s only one thing though. You have to talk to her”
“Gonzalez has to be stopped. She can’t be your step mother and he can’t have her why? Cause you’ve fucked her… you get me so something has to be done”
“It’s not that simple…how do I meet her? What do I tell her? What is she’s not the cook headed type…or even ends up denying me” I stated while Tyler shrugged lightly
“But something is not right here. Something is off about this whole marriage of a thing. And I can remember vividly that she was crying last night. You know right?” I added walking over to the couch to sit down.
“Look only the three of us knows what is going on. Sharon does not know and she must not know. Let’s just set this thing straight before another eat gets involved. Today’s dinner was so messed up and I’m sure Sharon knows that something is certainly not right and you know how inquisitive that bitch can be” Tyler stated and I nodded in compliance.
“Sharon must not find out! Everything will be out hence she finds out. You are right about that”
“And Serena must be so worried by now. I just hope she does not sees me as a bad person…or as Gonzalez replica” I added and Tyler scoffed.
“Let leave that aspect of her being worried about you being bad or anything. Let set the main puzzle right first. You need to speak to her tonight before anything to avoid things getting wrong under this mansion” Tyler objected and I breathed out sharply.
“So how do I go about seeing her tonight? She must be in her room by now probably getting prepared as Gonzalez had requested” I stated and there was silence for sometime before Tyler spoke up.
“How about you lure the maid from the other time. I mean the one you seemed information from earlier today” he suggested.
“And how do I intend luring her? Please make quicker suggestions before anything happens” I responded almost immediately in agitation
“It’s very simple okay?. We will just use the information she spilled to us against her. She wouldn’t want Gonzalez to find out she had spoken to us about it before dinner” He raised his brow up to be sure I was following up in his plans and I nodded.
“We will make her lie to Serena that Gonzalez wants to meet her at the back of the mansion… they can use the back door. And there, you will show up as Gonzalez and have a quick talk with her” he summarized and I paused for a while seeing that he had made sense in his explanations.
“That’s alright. I’ll just phone the maid quarters and ask for that particular maid”
“Fine and be fast about that” Tyler responded. While I quickly reached out for the telephone.
*****
After what felt like three minutes, the maid showed up and I was quick to moved closer to her followed by Tyler. She was scared at first as she never left the door side.
“No one is going to hurt you. We just need you to do something for us” I uttered and she nodded slowly with her head slightly bowed.
“We want you to go to Gonzalez bride’s room” I started
“Tell get Gonzalez wants to meet her at the back of the mansion and make sure she follows you” I explained and she shuddered in fear before raising her face up.
“I… I don’t think I can do that young master” she responded in fear and it was at that point Tyler came in.
“Look here, if you don’t do what he asked you to do, we will make sure Gonzalez gets to hear the fact that you had spilled his little secret before him and you know what that means” Tyler threatened calmly but yet fiercely and cruel.
“Do it and I’ll give you triple of your normal pay this week” I offered to make things easy and her face lit up instantly.
"I just want you to bring the bride before he sees her"
DEVONI was standing at the back of the mansion with Tyler at the other end where he could be hardly seen.“Do you think she’s going to come?” I turned to ask Tyler at the same time looking to see if there was any sign of her.“She is going to show up trust me. She wouldn’t want to piss Gonzalez up” he replies leaning against the hard wall while I just nodded still, hoping for her to show up. Soon enough, I sighted her walking behind the maid who soon stopped leading the way. Urging her to move forward to where I was standing“Are you sure he is there?” I heard her ask the maid.“Yes ma’am” she replied and hurried away.“Talk to her, let her hear your voice or better still step out of this dark place cause she looks so scared to make any move” Tyler suggested.I cleared my throat sharply before taking one step out of where I stood before.“Come on Serena it’s safe” I stated fully stepping into light for her to see me. She took some steps backward in fear.“Von…Devon??” She called out
DEVON“So what do we do?, do I still continue the marriage with him?”“You will. But you won’t fuck my Father” I replied sternly.“So how do we go about it?…” she asked in fear“Just go back to your room…I’m sure you know your way back. I’ll send someone to you… just do as the person says.. you will be fine” I assured“What if you come up with something and then it’s too late to put it to action?”“And that’s why you should leave now so I can put things to action okay?” “Sure… sure” she responded before hurrying away.*********“Please help me call back that maid” I said to Tyler as soon as I had entered my room.“What did you two talk about?..” he asked and I shrugged lightly before walking over to the edge of my bed.“About how she got here… I mean she told me how she found herself in Gonzalez arms. I’ll tell you about all that later. But I just need to do what I have to do to stop my father from touching her this night” I responded “Okay I’ll just call in the maid and then you t
SERENA“Drop down the curtains” Gonzalez cold voice interrupted my schemes as I found myself turning slowly to him with my hands leaving the curtains….I could only see half of his face at that time and now I was not seeing his face at all cause I already dropped down the curtains.“Why are you still in your attires?. Didn’t the maid assign you?” He asked fiercely and entirely different from the Gonzalez I had met at the dinner table.I swallowed some spits in agitation and fear as I pressed my back against the wall in fear with nothing to say… although I had already memorized how to talk to him without flopping and now I can’t seem to get any word out of my mouth.“I could just rip your bones out of your flesh right now and you won’t know it. To the bed.” He ordered with a tone of finalityI stepped away slowly from the wall and just at the edge of the bed, I stopped walking. I felt sweat dripping down from my thighs to my feet in fear.“I’m on my period” I stated in fear with
~SERENA I turned softly on the bed with a light wince before batting my eyelash, trying to wake up fully.“Good morning” I heard a voice and instantly recognized it to be that of June.Weirdly, I felt at ease and a bit relieved.“Do you need any help in getting up?” She asked softly and I nod my head in disapproval while I tried getting up.“Ssssss” I winced softly as I reached out for my forehead which was really throbbing.“I’ll help you get up” June offered and I allowed her this time around.“Oh my God… you are bleeding ma’am” she stated in bewilderment.“Yeah I know… sustained an injury last night” I lied and she only nodded like she knew I was lying which was uncomfortable. Can’t I lie in peace?“I’ll prepare a warm bath for you now, While you change your dress. And your lips is also bruised. Be right back” she stated and made a slight bow before walking into the bathroom.I cupped my head into my palm as I reminisced on the previous night with Gonzalez. I really smelt dea
SERENA“You should get used to it hence forth…” June added and I forced a tight smile before walking ahead. Getting to the dinner table, I met Tyler spreading some jam on his bread. With a straight expression, I sat opposite him without giving him any attention or glance.“I’ll serve my self” I stopped June from serving me and she nodded with a smile before backing out.“Umm…you mind getting me a glass of juice?” Tyler said to June and I knew at once he was trying to excuse her from the table and maybe to try convince me about what I had heard on my way to the dinner table.“The juice is just before you sir” June responded smartly and I smiled to myself.“I want a cold one. The one here is warm” he retorted and she bowed respectfully before leaving the table.“Dumbo?”he whispered and I rolled my eyes before raising my head up to meet his questioning glare.“Is everything alright??” He asked and I smirked before grabbing a glass of water.“Yeah why not?” I retorted sarcastically.“I
SERENA“Are you sure you are good ma’am” June asked for the tenth time as I kept fuming within.“I told you already that I’m good okay??.” I responded and she nodded before taking some few steps back away from my bedside.“Does Gonzalez come back home everyday?” I found myself asking June“Yes he does except Sunday nights and any other day he is on a business trip.” She answered“Would like to have sometime to myself alone. Perhaps you can excuse me now and then come over later in the day to show me round the mansion”“Yes ma’am” “Thank you” I muttered as she left the room.“Tch!” I kissed my teeth in annoyance as I fell flat on the bed.*stupid Von. I shouldn’t even be surprised, I barely know him and I, expecting more good from him should be the last thing I should ever think of* I thought to myself.With determination, I figured out I was all alone to myself and that I need just MYSELF to survive here. They are strangers and should remain strangers while I work my way out…perha
SERENA~“You’ve been having sex your dad’s P.A and now I’m just a middleman here. My life is now on hold at two points. You have a girlfriend under this mansion…. You had me before your father got me here and now you trying to dump your girlfriend for your father’s wife which you coincidentally had sex with. and now you trying to put up a love at first sight act. This is crazy!” I lashed out.“Nothing is crazy Serena. Look at me” he shocked my body vigorously trying to make me look into his eyes which I was avoiding“You need to trust me Serena…just please for the first time I’m begging you to trust me on this one” he pleaded with a dilated pupil.I heaved a sigh before slowly dropping his hands from my arm.“Can you just believe me?… yes I know I once had a thing with Sharon but that was before I met you. Trust me if you were in the picture that would have never happened. I’m sorry you found out this way and I have nothing to do with her again” he further explained.“What if she find
~~ SERENA “You look so much happier this morning… unlike the other times ma’am “ June commented making me blush slightly.“Yeah, I know right? Besides I won’t be grumpy forever” I retorted taking the hair brush from her as she watched me diligently brushing my hair in a wavy style.“Perhaps you can tell me the secret ma’am” I frowned immediately at her statement but soon softened my look. I mean, anyone in her shoes would want to know how come I had switched up my mood in the space of twenty four hours.“It’s just nothing… there is nothing I can do about any of my situation so it’s best to just live with it” I reprimanded dropping the brush on my laps.“I got you some tampons incase you not comfortable having to put on pads.. I saw the stains on your wears” she uttered. I paused for a while before turning to look at her.“And why would you go through my stuffs?.” I fired angrily. Anything might want to go wrong but not her finding out about things that has to do with me and Devon “I
