SERENA “I’ll do the stripping” the quiet one stated with a strict facial expression as he stepped more closer to me.His looks were not friendly I could not plead anymore.I was preparing for death.I watched the others give way for him to have access to me. It looked like he was superior over them but yet act calm in a fierce way.“Please” I whispered even though it was not audible but I hoped he had heard me. Looking straight into my eyes, he took his right hand to my back while standing in front of me. With a mean look, he took down my zip leaving me with my bra. I felt my heart race increased. I was hiding something worth peace of mind from Von and if he should see it, it won’t end well for me and that, I am sure of.“You are taking too long” Francisco queried hastily while pacing up and down waiting for me to be completely stripped.“Take the dress off your skin” he ordered standing tall before me as he waited for me to make the first move.“Smack her if she takes extra t
~DEVONI opened my eyes slowly feeling over weighed. Looking around me, I could see Tyler and Gonzalez alongside three of his friends around me, like they were staring deep into my soul.“He is awake” I heard Tyler say to the rest of themTrying to figure out why they were around me and staring so deep, I tried seating up but a slight pain from my head held me back making me wince lightly in pain.“Take it easy Von” Tyler spoke up placing his hand on my shoulder“Wha..” I tried saying while trying to recall how I got here with them at the same time.Looking around again, I noticed I was in a hospital and just at that moment, I could recall what had happened earlier.I was trying to get back to the mansion because of Serena… and that was it. I fell back or so.After putting things together, I allowed my weight press onto the bed with my eyes closed as I inhaled deeply.“What are you doing here” I asked facing Gonzalez.“I thought you died. TCH” he mentioned with a smirk before
~DEVON “I’ll just stop by that restaurant and get something for myself. I’m really hungry” Tyler said as he slowed down to the other side of the road.“Tch. You can’t let it wait and then eat at the mansion rather than stopping by the road” I muttered relaxing back on the chair.“I’ll be back in a jiffy. Don’t just drive off” he joked stepping out of the far leaving me alone in the car.Having the moment to myself, I tapped my fingers softly on my laps while thinking about so many things.Who would have taken the necklace~ I thought to myself as I try raising any suspects from my mind but it kept getting back to the maids. Cause no one has ever had any problem with the room. And it is the first time something this valuable is getting missing in the mansion.Looking out of the window to check if Tyler was on his way, only to figure out he was not coming out yet. *phew* I breathed out looking up to the spot where the mirror was suppose to be but it was not open.Without hesitation I o
~SERENA Just as June was about putting the sheets in a launders basket, a soft knock came in.“I’ll get the door” June volunteeredAfter opening the door, it happened to be one of the maids.“Young master summons everyone. At the first hall.” She addressed and turned away.“Do you think it’s about the necklace” I asked curiously kneeling on the bed.“Obviously ma’am” June responded dusting off her uniform before bowing slightly and walking out of the room.~DEVON Getting back to the hall, alongside Tyler the maids were already there. They even formed a circle which is much more better to me.“Without any notice, I swung past them getting into their midst.With no expression, I turned slowly taking note of everyone’s face.“Is this everyone?” I asked to be sure“Yes young master” they all responded in unison“Now, as you all might have heard. Someone trespasses and stole from me.” I started off while turning round to be sure I was taking note of everyone’s facial expression“Who amon

~DEVON “Fuck!” I cursed out loudly as I tightened my fist in my pocket with my eyes fixed at Tyler’s surprised face.“And then what?” I asked June“That was it… she decided to retire to her room then after. But I’m sure she has nothing to do with it young master” “You can excuse us now. I’ll call for you later” I uttered turning fully to Tyler.“Let’s head to my room” I muttered to him walking ahead immediately with a mixed feeling“Fuck!” I cursed out as soon as I got to my room.“What do you think?” Tyler asked leaning against the wall as he watched me fume around across the room.“I don’t know what to think Tyler. Every loophole in this case I’m trying to close for the past few seconds keep leading back to Serena. And I have no other option than to confront her about it. This isn’t just any kind of necklace. I really don’t want to dig out the past. I will end up hurting myself also. You know how long it took me to get this far without that void and all of a sudden it’s all starti
~DEVONFor some minutes, there was silence in my room between I and Tyler. Neither of us were making any sentence or saying any word. And just as I was about to crack the silence, a soft knock came in. I was the closest to the door so I was definitely going to get the door.“I got it” I volunteered after I had noticed Tyler also wanted to get it.Opening the door, I met the least most unexpected person. June.. the maid I had questioned earlier“Excuse me?” I questioned instantly With an accurate bow, she greeted before looking behind her like she was spying.“If you don’t have anything to say. You can still craw away” I pin pointed“Actually, Master’s new bride sent me to you” she started off by saying.With a confused look and an arched brow, I squinted my eyes to get her actual message if she really meant what she has just said.“Excuse me?” “She asked me to tell you, to meet her at the back of the mansion” June dragged “I’m sorry sir” she apologized for what I don’t know and mad
( Serena's pov)I soothed my mom's arms slowly as she sobbed silently. I was crying too but I knew it wouldn't be advisable to burst out in front of my mom as she cried."Stop crying huhn...."I pleaded with a cracked voice as she sniffed on her favorite towel that I had folded on her wheelchair for her."You don't expect me to stop crying when my only child will be taken away from me tomorrow....Serena...you will be leaving us tomorrow to a no better place and you think that's not enough reason to cry?"My mom urged as she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.I forced a smile before wiping the corner of my eyes with the back of my palm to stop my tears from falling down."No one is taking me away okay?....Dad promised to make sure the bank loans him the money. Don't cry again huhn?...we will pay back Gonzalez. I'm sure of that" I uttered trying hard to believe my words. People say having little faith works but I wasn't sure mine was faith it was pain mixed with doubts."You and I kno
