3rd Pov;

“Look, I made your favorite dish today.” The little girl giggled as she looked at her caretaker who was busy typing on his phone.

“Buddy, look.” She excitedly brought the dish towards him, just below his phone. “Get the fuck away, moron.” He rasped out making her flinch. “But.. but I made it for you, since it’s my birthday.” She whispered out. “Do you really think that I would eat anything made by you? You must have poisoned it for all I know.” He seethed out.

She hesitantly backed away, knowing that he was correct.

She had poisoned the food.

Biting her lip, she broke her gaze away from his and slowly retreated back towards the kitchen in disappointment. It was the only way she could leave this household, away from every nightmares.

“Elena, stop.”

She immediately turned around, seeing him a few inches away. “Did you actually poison it?” One of his eyebrows rose. “N-no.. I.. wo-wouldn’t.” She stuttered out. Beads of sweat covered her forehead.

“Are you lying to me?” She shook

    Elena's pov:Did I ever tell how much I hated Maths?It was one of the subjects which gave me extreme anxiety, one way or the other.The teacher had introduced me to the class, showcasing me as a piece of object and I'd gave out fake smiles after another.That had given me more anxiety, but now that had been gone and I was completely settled in the back with no one as my bench mate.I sigh for the hundredth time, before glancing back at the clock which hadn't moved an inch from the last two decades.Can't this go any faster?Is this even normal?"You look like you'll pass out at any minute," a sweet light voice muttered from behind me. "Actually, count me in. Miss Lovings is too boring."I stifled a chuckle before I turned around my seat and found the prettiest girl alive. She was tan-skinned, with perfect green eyes and freckles adorning her face and oh! she was a red-head too.Quite perfect, if I'd say."Her way of teaching maths is not up to my level and why does she look like dyin

    Elena's pov:"Can't we stay here, for two more days?" Ella whined in the back of the car. And this was the first time I found her extremely annoying.It wasn't her problem but infact it mine.After what had happened three days ago, happened again. Sylvie was most of the time with the brothers and the cousins. And even her family had lunch with us and not to forget dinner as well. It was like they were some sort of close family friends by the way they laughed with each other.Even the other older ones, specially Elias, Stephan liked Sylvie's humor and this did made me jealous to some extent.The whole time, I never came out even when they asked me. I simply told off them a lie---that I'd fallen sick.And yes, I was ignoring them all, even Elias."Mum, isn't this vacation enough for ya?" Tyler mumbled from beside her.She lightly gasped. "No boy. A women needs her sun and sand from time to time."I sighed and leaned against the window, watching as the trees went by."Mom we have school,

    Elena's pov:"Stop the nonsense, let's go.""Nonsense? How come? When clearly she comes everywhere Andi."I internally scoff at her comment. Averting my gaze towards her, I cock my brow. "Excuse me?"She glances at me, a snarl immediately forms on her face.How come a child at her age could endure such hatred for some stranger, except me ofcourse."You're following us." She stated, while pointing her finger at me.Her brother Andrius, looked at her before looking back at me. Apparently he seemed quite uninterested in her sister's tantrum.I cross my arms over my chest defensively. "And why would I?"Her eyes cinched, as her stare scans me from head to toe with disgust. "A maid isn't welcomed here." She tried to be noble with her words however she failed.I could feel she was mocking me for entering a VVIP area. But then her eyes lit up in surprise. "You're here to clean? Don't tell me you spilled coffee on someone else too?"My brows further heightened, quite amused honestly.Andrius'

    Elena's pov;"Where were you young lady?"I cheekily smiled. "Outside.""From the past 3 and half hours?" Elias questioned.I shrug and fidget with my fingers from behind. If he knew about the incident, he'll surely be angry.Angry Elias is scary. "I came like you wanted me too, soooo, can't you forgive me?" I pout, as I gave him the best puppy eyes I could muster. He sighs and shakes his head. "I was worried, Elena.""Sorry." I muttered lowly, looking down.He was kinda right though. I took quite a time. But it wasn't my fault, I had bumped into someone so wealthy, who could have squished me with his bare hands and to put a cherry on top, I didn't have money. Even if I'd asked Elias, he would ask several questions and this would eventually lead me to tell him the truth which I didn't want.His hand flew to my head whilst giving me a sad smile. "Promise, you'll tell me beforehand if anything happens, okay?"I nod. "Ofcourse, Eli.""Great. Now let's get you some snacks? And then we'll

    Elena's pov;"Uh, I'm totally fine."Her hand flew up, silencing me. "You've got to get this treated. Otherwise, this might get infected."I shake my head, in a no. But instead listening to me, she grabbed my wrist softly and added, "it must have hurt, yes?""No, it doesn't." My spine straightened. "I have to leave, my brothers will be worried."The word, 'brother' brought a sour taste, however I didn't let it bother me, not even to the slightest.She took a quick glance at my face, before tugging me back into the penthouse. I inwardly let out a groan. This women has no idea, how'll her family will react.She walked taking the lead and I let her pull me to the living area, where I could hear distant laughs and shouts.My head lowered. For some reason, the shiny floor was perfect to look at."Mama?" She halted and I followed her actions. Each pair of eye stopped at us---specifically me. "Didn't she go? Why would you bring her back?" This time her husband spoke with authority.His words

    Elena's pov;I wasn't a bright child but I knew better to obey or act nicely with a stranger I hardly met.The truth is, I didn't knew why I insisted on repaying him---he could be serial killer or kidnapper for all I know. But...something within my gut told me to follow him. And for me my gut feeling was always right.But as they say, 'intuitions can be unpredictable.' So you never know where you'll land.Half an hour had probably passed since he'd left me here by myself. I had heard loud chatters from the second floor. Laughters and giggles, followed by playful yellings.I shifted towards the wall, attempting to relief the numbness that had spread all over my feet. Both of them ached however I suppressed it.I inhaled a deep breath and wrapped my arms around myself, instantly regretting when the scattered scalds rubbed against the shirt. Hissing, I lifted my arms to see the damage on the upper side of my hand, again. For me something about examining my injuries was like digging a hid
