After Richard drops her off at the mansion,.
The embarrassment at the library is just sinking in. I couldn't stop fidgeting with my hair.
Normally I got some time off from this crazy world when I get home schooled. I almost have lost touch of all my friends from school.
Sheel is the only person my age in this house but she is such a diva she doesn't speak much. II also couldn't match her style and sophistication.
The first time is met her she was going out with her friends. She always looked chic. Leather Jacket ,Blue jeans and Lug sole combat boots with this combo Harry Kotlar Classico Diamond Earrings worth $50,000.
Sheel would sit at the same table when I would finish my home work but hardly talk.
"Pass me the charger please" That's all that I heard her speak.
This girl definitely had her own little life was not very involved with the family actually.
She never saw Rhea as a big sister, She never could be the big sister that you could look up to. Almost every one know I was a bodyguard to Rhea.
So even I couldn't get the respect from Sheel as she knew I was paid to be with Rhea.
I almost spent all my time at the Gill's however I did leave to visit mon and dad every once in a while and I just would work on my schooling, but apart from that I would just mentor Rhea, God knows she had a lot to learn.
Keeping her off drugs was a very big part of my job, professional counselling and therapy helped as lot.
I entered the house hoping to have a nice bath and just take a dip in the pool.
I see Rhea sitting on the couch runs up to me crying her face red seems like she has been crying for almost the whole day, seems like she had been to a party and some thing real bad happened.
Pulling me away she whispers " Its a disaster. Dad found out about Mike. I don't know what happened to Mike, I am scared" whimpering she just sits on the floor.
Even before I could comfort her, I hear foot steps approaching me , It Mona in a very stern voice she orders me to wait in the office .
I just bent to pick up Rhea , but Mona grabbed me by my arm and showed me to the office "Now" she screamed.
There I sat for almost for an hour, there seemed to be a haunting silence, It seemed like somebody died. I just couldn't understand the feeling.
After a while, I noticed there was a paper with my name. It said my contact was cancelled but I will be paid for my service The payment will be done at the end of the contract date originally noted.
All this was only payable if I signed the non disclosure agreement. I was happy to do so, I didn't mind.
I had to visit my parents as I was practically kicked out of the Mansion, I was very much used to the luxury life but decided to use this as an escape from the pretend life that I live at the Gill's.
"When are you going back?" asked mom. Don't waste your time on that girl she is a lost cause her parents also know is Agni. " Listen to me" She insists.
"Mom, You might think why is she helping this girl for a salary and not living her life. I have a plan. The money is good after my contract is over I would have enough money to open a business I will invest in a coffee shop and just complete my education".
"I could ask for some help from Rhea or Mr.Gill they will help me. You have to stop worrying mom, Didn't I reach here in my life by my decisions. Believe in me and I will amaze you guys" I tried to soothe the situation.
"Now oil my hair please it will relax me " looked at her pleasingly.
"Sure, just wait" Mom just walks into the kitchen to heat the oil. "Mom trust me, I know what I am doing, don't worry I am going to be a winner in the end of all of this"
She smile " OK, I'll pray for you, Just be very careful this is your life we are talking about" she cautions me.
After dinner, I do the dishes. This life seems so boring and repetitive.
Am I craving the life I lived with Rhea?
Walking up the stairs to my room was the most depressing. I was not sure is it because I miss being there with Rhea.
Sleeping on my bed was just the best relaxation I needed. But I couldn't see.
I kept thinking what happened ? why was she crying?
What did Mr.Gill find about Mike.
Why did they let me go?
Is she is alive? I could feel it in my gut something was wrong.
I just couldn't sleep not knowing if she is ALIVE.
