~SERENA Just as June was about putting the sheets in a laundry basket, a soft knock came in.“I’ll get the door” June volunteeredAfter opening the door, it turned out to be one of the maids at the mansion“Young master summons everyone. At the first hall.” She addressed and turned away.“Do you think it’s about the necklace” I asked curiously whilst 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 was 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 fac
~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
Devon's pov)"Yeah I'll still get you a drink"I uttered and she grinned widely at me before gripping me tight as we forced our way through the crowds. "VIP?"She muttered in a questioning manner as she stared at the wall of the door we were about to enter."Yeah...VIP..."I repeated after her pushing the door to gain entrance. "Are you some sort of rich dude or your pocket is just filled for only this night?"She asked and giggled before leaving my arm as it seemed like she suddenly felt comfortable in the room. Quiet and lively...I think she likes her things that way."You sure you had no drink?"I asked to be sure judging from the manner she throw her words at me. "Why?...do I sound drunk?"She uttered shinning her white set of teeth at me."I looked over to the far end of the room and my eyes caught with Tyler. He was having a drink all to himself.Soon, Tyler noticed my presence and looked up. Seeing me and her, he bursted into a loud laughter spilling some of his drinks in the
(Devon’s POV) She then drunkenly spread her arms around my neck with her face on one side of my neck as she fanned her hot breath on me. "Come on....stop being a big baby and get up on your feet" I sounded, more like pleaded. She groaned stubbornly and stood up but not without leaning on me tightly as her legs danced funnily on the floor."Please take my drink along...."she muttered digging her fingers into my skin to assist her self. I winced slightly and shake my head slowly before dragging her along with me.**I got into the room alongside Serena who had been speaking gibberish all along while trying to bring her up here which was harder than I had thought. I dropped her on the bed which created a loud thud which I think was funny to her cause she began laughing."You such a pest!"I muttered rubbing my arm which she had earlier leaned on. "By the way, make sure you don't puke on that bed. The bathroom is just there" I uttered pointing to one side of the room where
(Serena's pov)I watched keenly as the Jeep drove into a big mansion.....the biggest I had ever thought off. From it outer appearance I couldn't even imagine what it could look like inside.It was all painted white with artistic drawing at one side of each paintings....the big fountain just at the middle of the house was just so fascinating.Everything was screaming Rich! At my face as I stared in awe from where I sat."Like what you see?"Gonzalez asked intruding my thoughts as I became aware of him again.I frowned tightly and took my gaze back to the window at my side. "Don't worry about all those. I'll have the maids show you around"he uttered with a slight groan and I rolled my eyes secretly. We were still driving inside the house probably headed for the garage!. Just locating the garage was taking hours.....ohh gracious Lord I'm freaking out! Soon, the car slowed down and I looked ahead only to see fleet of cars in different colors....my mouth went agape in astonishment.On
[SERENA’S POV]“your bath is ready ma’am” june said to me. I looked up at her from where I sat and nodded my head in understanding hoping for her to walk away so I could have some private time to myself. But instead, she still stood beside my bed. I raised my face up at her with a questioning brow. “I heard you. I’ll have my bath later”“I’m sorry ma’am, but it my duty to aid you in bathing” she insisted and I scoffed lightly.“Excuse me? Don’t tell me you want to bathe me yourself” I stated clearly with my lips slightly parted.“yes ma’am. I’m being paid to do so….i wouldn’t want to lose my job” june replied with her hands folded on her thighs.“ I don’t get it… do you also bathe everyone in this house?? Including Gonzalez?” I asked in bewildment and she chuckled before shaking her head in disapproval “ no I don’t bathe anyone in this mansion…neither do anyone bathe anybody under this mansion but I’ve been assigned by master to do so for you…it was clearly assigned to me.” She e
