Tamira POV: I heard some noises at the door to my room and then the lock started sounding. I was wondering if mom had decided to release me. Or maybe she came to drop food just like the last two days?Either way, I do not want to end up talking to her. Even her face irritates me now and I do not even know how we are related. There is so much difference between us. Or maybe I'm just completely like my father.I quickly turned off the screen of my phone and kept it aside on top of the drawer next to my bed. I slipped my feet underneath my duvet and turned to my side, away from the direction of the door.I closed my eyes and I heard the door open. I was hearing the footsteps of more than one person walking into my room and I got confused. "Sit up Tamira." I heard a familiar voice tell me but it wasn't mother and neither was it, dad.I didn't want to answer but I had to see who it was so just as I felt like it, I sat up. It was unexpected for me to see the two people I have just seen. I
I arrived at the Wilsons' family mansion in the clothes that Tamira sent to me. I knocked and after some time the door was answered by a maid."Good day sir, how may I hold you?" the maid inquired and coughed a bit. I could see that she was struggling with something. When she couldn't hold it anymore she held on to her nose and I knew the message she was passing. Why wouldn't I stink this bad? It's not like water was constantly available for us on the side of the city we lived in."I am here for the job of a house boy," I answered."Houseboy?" she questioned and coughed like she almost choked. "No such openings here. The wrong house," she told me. "Miss Tamira herself sent for me," I told the maid."I told you there is no such opening. Anyways, hold on and I will ask her about it." the maid said and hurriedly slammed the door shut.I waited for the maid who took five minutes before returning. "Come in and follow me." the maid said to me.The maid moved aside and I walked into the m
I sat up on the bed and immediately I heard footsteps at the door. I waited and listened but the footsteps had already stopped. I sighed in relief but right after that the door to the room opened and two people walked in and stood right in front of me who was still seated on the bed.Towering over me, all of a sudden were two guys. "Who are you and what are you doing in this room?" the first one asked."I am the new houseboy," I answered.They both looked so familiar and I couldn't help but stare intently just trying to remember who they were."What do you think you are doing?" the second asked.I remembered who they were and I became instantly irritated by their presence. Those were the two numbskulls who made their driver splash mud all over me."Wait a minute Xavier. This guy looks familiar." the second said to the first. He snapped his fingers as he remembered who I was. "It's the same cheap thing we splashed mud on yesterday." the second added."You don't say. Alex, I think our
She gave me the thing in and I looked at it strangely. "It's a vacuum cleaner., she said after noticing my clear confusion."Here, I will show you how to use it." the maid said and took it from my hands. She showed me how to turn it on and off and the way it is used. I accepted it back from her, "Thank you." I said and started to use it.I saw as Alex's face changed to an angry one. He glared at me and then walked in a different direction.I was vacuuming when I noticed yet another maid staring at me but this time from afar and hid immediately after she noticed I saw her. I had no clue why the maids were suddenly so... I don't even have a word for their behaviorI finished with the vacuuming and just then Xavier approached me. He was having a glass of wine in his hand and he emptied it on me and the rug."My mistake., he said, not hiding the fact that he did it on purpose."Scrub the rug." Xavier said, looking at me with indifference "Yes sir., I answered.I returned to the attic wit
"What took you so long? Are you answering or are you just going to stand there looking like a baboon?" Alex asked me. I opened my mouth to speak but then he interrupted me. "You know what? Forget it. Just get to scrubbing." Alex said, waving me off. I went on my knees and started to scrub. In no time I was done and went to get rid of the water. Right when I was out of Xavier's and Alex's sight, a maid came and took everything off my hands. I snatched it back, already pissed off by their actions. This was too strange for me and if they all refuse to explain themselves then I refuse to be helped. "Excuse me." the maid said and blocked my way. I slapped my palm against my forehead and then rubbed it downwards against my face. "What is it?" I asked her. "Why are you rejecting my help? Am I not as pretty as the others?" she asked, leaving me with an uneasy feeling. "What?!" I exclaimed. "You don't find me as attractive as the others who helped you." the maid said. "What's my busine
"What the hell?! Tamira! Of all the pathetic men you could have done that with?! You chose a houseboy?!" Xavier yelled.It showed so clearly how much Xavier was fuming from the sight of what he had just seen. "We were not doing anything Xavier. Don't be so dramatic." Tamira said, trying her best to wave it off as though it was a minor thing."Tamira this is trash! I don't ever want to see you near that... that..." Xavier was so mad that he couldn't even find proper words to use."You!" Xavier said, pointing directly at me with his finger. "Get out!" he added.With my head humbly bowed, I left Tamira's room, and almost immediately, I heard the door slam shut behind me."I let you out too soon," Xavier said and I heard keys and the sound of the door being locked."Xavier you can't just do that to me! I did nothing wrong and you know it! Nothing happened between..." Tamira was saying but then Xavier interrupted."Was this the same poor nobody that mother was talking to me and Alex about
"No issue," I said and drove away. I made it to my son's mansion and parked inside after the gates were opened for me.I opened the car door and stepped out. I threw the keys at the approaching driver and he missed it. As the key fell to the floor I took off my glasses and scowled at the terrified driver."Madam... I... I am very sorry. It won't repeat itself." the driver pleaded with me, already predicting what would happen to him next."You are right about something," I said as I folded my glasses with both my hands."This is not going to repeat itself," I said. "Consider this your last night here," I added and started to walk away.I paused my steps and without turning around I said, "And by the way. You will not be paid a dime for this month."I resumed heading towards the entrance of the mansion and didn't bother to stop as the driver yelled from behind me."Please, Mrs. Wilson! I need the money! You can fire me but please let me receive this month's payment!" he sounded as if in
*The next morning*I stretched in bed and I yawned as well. I sat up and then stood up just in time to hear the last ringing of my phone.And with weary eyes, I checked for the caller and saw the name, Mr. Cranston. Ugh! What is it this time?I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up the phone. After a while of listening to the buzzing of my phone, he finally picked up the call."I just saw your missed call. What do you want?" I asked him. I'm sure my voice on the phone conveyed that I was just waking up from sleep."Don't tell me you are just waking up now Mrs. Wilson." Mr. Cranston's voice sounded from my phone."How's that your business? Anyways, let's just say I did not sleep with a good mind." I replied."Now tell me the reason why you called me," I added."Just to inform you that my boys were caught with your supply of cocaine to them. My spies informed me that they haven't uttered a single word to the police. You have to get them out of there." Mr. Cranstone said as if
