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
~~DEVON“Get out Von. Get out right now!” My dad ordered me and I walked out immediately with Tyler trailing behind me.“You headed somewhere?” Tyler asked as I walked hurriedly to the place I had my car parked.“I don’t know. Just anywhere away from all these dramas. Can’t even believe that old haggard fool actually wanted her to strip. Like what the actual heck” I argued bitterly jamming the car door fiercely while I waited for Tyler to get in from the other side.“You know, I’m even scared for your dad. I don’t know if he knows who he’s dealing with. That Francisco of a old big fool is just some Alien” Tyler added as I fired the far engine driving crazily out of the mansion.“Scared for Gonzalez?. You must be joking… forgotten who my dad is so soon? You should be scared for Francisco when Gonzalez can no longer keep up with his presence anymore” I disagreed.“I don’t know… don’t just feel so good about anything. We just have to be careful with Serena. What happened at the dinner ta
~SERENA “Ma’am” June called out to me while making my bed.“Shh… just do what you have to do and leave” I shunned her.“I just want you to hear me out, you have to trust me ma’am, I had no idea..” she tried saying.“You know I could have you swapped right now. You just have to know when to shut up” I lashed out angrily at her.“I’m sorry” she apologized.“I need to get something important real quick ma’am. Just a minute please” she excused herself.***After what felt like three minutes, june hurriedly walked inside the room with a package in her hands.“Figured out this might be useful. I’m not trying to prove anything ma’am and I also mean no harm” she stated stretching out the package to me. With a suspicious look, I collected it from her before checking to know what it is.*what the hell* I thought before looking up at her with a scorn look.“And what is this suppose to mean??” I fired getting really vexed as I stared at what she had just offered to me.“I mean no harm ma’am, th
~~ SERENA “Feels like forever since I saw outside” I breathed out as I walked outside with June in the mansion.“Let’s walk over to the mini garden. Over there” she pointed at one direction.There were maids everywhere. The compound was really neat that it felt like there were no sand at all. Not even one.“Here” june called out walking into a garden with a knee length gate. “Is the gate really necessary” I asked walking inside with her.“I guess it’s just to create boundaries. I don’t really know ma’am. But I do know gardens have little gate” she explained “Hmm” I hummed even though I knew I could not argue about this since we’ve never had a garden and I know little or nothing about gardens.“Tulips!” I said out in excitement as I hurried over to the Tulips at the corner of the garden.“But I thought Tulips are only available during summers” I stated smiling at the tulips as I was already close to tears. They are my mother’s favorite.“Yes I had thought so too. But I guess these o
~SERENA “Is it forbidden to go in there, I’m afraid I might want to see what it looks like inside” I led out biting my lower lip hard.“I’m sorry but you can’t ma’am. It is forbidden” she responded “Forbidden??”I asked in awe…my gaze was not leaving the door.“Yes ma’am. One time when one of the worker in the main mansion got so curious and went to peep she was taken away by Gonzalez. And according to what I heard, no one ever saw her again” June explained“That’s weird” I commented walking away just immediately to avoid any curious move.“That’s the end of the mansion” June stated pointing at the huge fence at the far end.“Wow… feels like I’ve been walking for hours” I giggled with a smile of satisfaction.“Is that an old tent?” I asked pointing at a rusty looking door not too far from us.“No… it is for young master. He owns it and no one has stepped into it for so many years aside young master himself.” June explained.“Wow. They almost have restrictions so many places” I uttere
~SERENA After some minutes, June got back with a bottled water which I collected without hesitation as I awkwardly started walking ahead of her.“Ma’am are you angry I got back late? I’m so sorry the store room was locked so I had to go in search of the maid in possession of it” She stated walking fast to catch up with me.“No I’m not angry. I’ll just retire to my room now since I’m tired and then you can come over later with my Lunch thank you” I responded walking away just immediately.**********I closed the door tight as soon as I got to my room. Walking over to my bed, I dipped my hand into my breast to bring out the pendant.My breasts were already stained with dust from the broken necklace as I tried cleaning off the dust particles on the necklace.The dust were coming off already and I could see a roughly folded paper mere looking at the pendant. The pendant was made like a glass looking structure so one could see through them. I could not get what the paper looked like but
