CHAPTER FIVE

EMILY P.O.V

I am so excited I got the Job at the Belford’s mansion. At least I would be able to save up some money. Staying with them means I don’t need to worry about accommodation and payment of house rent.The bills will be much easier for me.

Granny, the grandmother of the Belford’s,was kind enough to employ me as her personal maid.She is so kind ,humble and polite unlike her grumpy,arrogant,rude and proud son.

I always overheard Charlotte and Amelia discussing him,how he is New York's most handsome eligible bachelor and how he refused to date or even touch anyone since after the death of fiancée Sophia.

Charlotte always spoke of how she always saw him from a distance each time they went for fundraising or a ball ,she always says she would do anything to be with Ethan,I consider it shameless because that would mean she’s throwing herself at a man,i think to myself and can’t help but roll my eye.

Judging by how Ethan treated and spoke to me it shows he clearly doesn’t want me working here,I have to mind my business and focus on only myJob ,also I have to avoid him as much as I can,if I want my Job here to last.

Granny introduced me to the head maid Lucia and other maids.The head maid welcomed me to the Belford’s with smiles,but from the way the other maid looked at me I could tell they didn’t like me.They were staring daggers at me,except the the head and a beautiful maid who told me her name was Amy.

Granny then turns to me and says while smiling “come Let me show you to your room”she then clicks the button on her wheelchair and it starts to ride by itself.

I turn to tell the other maids bye but they stare at me like I have two heads.I end up only telling the head maid and Amy that I’ll see them later.They smile and nod their heads.

Granny shows me around the house.The house is like a paradise on earth,the chandelier sparkles like they're made of real diamonds ,everything in the house looks top notch and very expensive ranging from the furniture to the interior decoration.

Granny told me that the other maids doesn't stay in the main house,they have their separate quarters at the right side of the main house,which explains why the Belford’s have the biggest house in New York.

We take the back door and soon ,we are in a hallway. It's super quiet here and the environment is serene.We go past the first two doors opposite each other and we stop at the next two doors opposite each other.

Granny turns to the one by our right and I assist her to open the door and I see that the room is very beautiful,the furniture and interior decoration look very expensive here too.

There’s a 3D 85 inches TV in the room.There's a door by the left leading to a balcony where there is a sofa and a beautiful table.They view from there will be very nice.

There is a queen sized bed that’s even bigger than the one I have in my room at our home.Close to the bed I can see that an intercom is installed there,Waw! this is house is awesomely clean and comfortable,I think to myself.

Granny’s voice brings my attention back to her as she says“This will be your room and the room opposite it is mine ,you can call me Granny ,I’ll speak to you through the intercom when I need your help okay?”She smiles and looks at me expecting a reply.

Then I remember I didn’t bring any of clothes and other things,so I try sound polite so as not to offend her and say “Yes Granny,but please can I get my things from my place?I didn’t come with any clothes and other stuffs “.

“Sure you can,but please be back early okay? And also you will be given a uniform,but yours will be different since you’re my personal maid “She says and gives me a small smile.

“Yes Granny,I understand “I flash a smile on my face.She turns to leave and she follows to help tuck her bed before leaving.

Her room is also very beautiful,well designed and of course way bigger than mine ,I help her stand up from the wheel and put her hand on shoulders as I lift her up and place her on her bed,she doesn’t weigh much I think to myself,maybe it’s due to the fact that she’s aging.

She tells me thank you as I tuck her in,I smile and tell her she’s welcome and that I am just doing my job.I leave her room and head to go to my room to get my phone and then leave to go get my things .

I am about to open my door when I see the door beside my room is being open and I see a girl of about my age come out,she’s same height as me,her skin is flawless,she has a blonde hair,beautiful pointed nose,sexy lips and her eyes are as blue as the ocean too.

She looks at me strangely like I have such guts and says “Who are you,what are you doing here and why do you want to go into that room?”She folds her hand on her chest and waits for me to answer her.

I clear my throat “Good afternoon Miss,my name is Emily Jones and I am the new personal maid to Grandma Susan “I try my best to sound respectful.

She frowns and scrutinizes me from head to toe with her eyes and say “Oh,I didn’t know Granny needed a personal maid,but why will she give you a room on this floor of the house,when she knows this floor only belong to her,my brother and I,and other close relatives.”She shrugs her shoulders and says “Any way Call me Ava not Miss ,I don’t like been called that,and welcome to Belford’s home I hope you take good care of my Granny”

“Thank you Ava”I smile and feel a little relaxed seeing that she’s not as hostile as her brother and the other maids.I go in and take my phone and head out to bring my things here.

I pass some maid on my way out of the mansion,they behave like they don’t see and just walk past me.I don’t really mind because I am here to face my Job.

I say hi to Borris on my way out,he opens the gate for me and I go out.I am about to hail a taxi when I get a feeling like I am being watched by someone.

I look around me but don’t see anyone.I hail a taxi and tell the taxi driver where I am headed and he zooms off.On our way to the hotel ,through the rear view mirror I notice that a black SUV has been following us closely.

I tell the driver”Excuse me sir it seems like we are being followed can you please drive faster?”I tell him as I look behind and still see the SUV behind us.

I frown as i see that the SUV has started driving faster and trying to catch up with us,who would be stalking me or following me.I gasp and face palm as I have a clue to who is behind it.It must be Isabella my stepmother and her fucking daughter.

She’s the only person who doesn’t like me and want me out of her reach.She must have realized I ran away from the house and sent these people to get me back.

But how did they know of my whereabouts,I hope nanny is safe.my phone vibrates and a notification and that’s when I know they maybe tracking me through my phone.I make a mental note to get rid of my phone when I get down from the taxi.

The taxi driver looks at his rear view mirror and notices it too ,so he drives faster in less than 30 minutes we are at the hotel.I hurriedly pay him and get down from the car and he zooms off.

I see that the SUV stopped at the front of the hotel,men wearing black suits and sunshades come down from the car and start coming after me.

I rush into the hotel,go to the receptionist and ask her for my room key. She gives it to me and I rush upstairs,I switch off my phone discard it into the trash bin I see at the stair case area.

I see them coming after me so I run to my room and lock the door,I hurriedly pack my things and when I am done and about to leave I hear them banging on my door and trying to open it.
