Bound By Revenge

Chapter 3: Hell no!

Ciara’s POV

It was Walter half naked making out with a lady. Oh, has this man no shame?

My hate for him grew to a 1000% at this point. Who the hell is she? Maybe one of his victims, I thought.

The lady on the other hand was fully naked. I stood there completely lost trying to make something out of the situation before my eyes.

“Ahhh Who are you?” The lady shouted , while giving me a disgusting look.

Walter looked back and I could see the anger in his eyes.

“What the f**k are you doing here maid?” He roared

“Maid?? Is that all I am now?”

“Tim! Get this cheap slut out of my sight. You'll definitely be punished for this tomorrow”

Walter shouted as he headed for the door and slammed it right in my face.

I was too stunned to speak.I stood there in disbelief as I felt fresh tears built up in my eyes.

“Hey, what are you doing here” Tim’s calm voice came

“Sorry I.. I..” I didn’t know when I broke into tears. I could see the pity in Tim’s eyes as he comforted me while leading me back to my room.

I couldn’t sleep all night as I twirled and turned. Why didn’t I escape when I had the chance? What the hell was I thinking of stopping to look at them?

I thought about school and felt tears stream down my cheeks once again.

I hated Walter with every part of me but I couldn’t hide the fact that I was jealous of the lady I saw earlier.

At least he didn’t treat her like a maid.

The next day came with Tim coming to wake me up by 5am to prepare Walter’s breakfast.

Not that I had any sleep the previous night.

Walter had requested for omelet eggs with toasted bread. Tim tutored me on how to make it to his liking.

I wondered why there was no other staff in this house apart from Tim.

Tim said Walter likes going to work early so breakfast must be ready before 6am

He came down all dressed up at exactly 6am,I wondered where the lady was.

He looked so handsome in his black tux, his eyes were so mesmerizing one could easily get lost in them.

I wondered how someone so evil would look this amazing. The admiration quickly changed to disgust.

He sat down for breakfast. Tim had helped me set the table.

I just kept staring in disgust. Walter took his first bite at the food.

“What the hell is this?” He shouted as he threw the plate right at me. Luckily, I was quick enough to duck so I missed it.

My eyes grew wide with shock. Does he really hate me that much? What have I ever done to him to deserve this?

“Tim tell this dumbass maid to take this poison from my sight this instant!

And fix me a meal capable of consumption” he shouted

I quickly rushed to clear the table with fear. Who knows maybe my head would be off the next time.

I trembled in fear and sobs as I walked back to the kitchen.

My hands were shaking, my lips were numbed, my eyes were probably tired of seeing me cry at this point.

I got to the kitchen and tried my best to remake the omelet and bread in the best way possible.

In 30 minutes, I was done. I quickly rushed to serve Walter only to be informed by Tim that he had gone to work.

He gave Tim a long list of chores I was to do. The list was so long that it was taller than I am.

He also instructed me to serve the food to the lady upstairs.

I did as I was told. I got to his room and saw the lady still sleeping.

I dropped the food at the bed table and left to start my chores.

This way, I’ll know every corner in this house so my escape would be easy.

I made sure to cover everything on the list to avoid troubles this evening. I wasn’t in the mood for any.

I cleaned all the 15 rooms in this mansion, did his laundry, cleaned his walk-in closet.

It was then the lady woke up. I glanced at the time and it read 3pm.

“Where is Walter?” She asked, eyeing me.

“He’s at work, at least that’s what responsible people do ” I murmured without looking at her.

“How rude! How dare you speak to me without any courtesy. Don’t you know I’m also your boss?”

Who the hell does this one think she is? If it wasn’t for this unfortunate situation I found myself in, why on earth will I be here listening to the gibberish coming from her mouth.

I ignored her and continued what I was doing.

I could see from the corner of my eye that this angered her to her bone.

The next thing I heard was glass shattering from the room.

I rushed over to the room to see this crazy girl had shattered the breakfast I left in the morning on the floor of the room I already cleaned.

My eyes suddenly went red from anger, my fists were clenched and my teeth gritted together.

I felt like giving her a dirty slap but all I could produce was a death glare.

She raised a brow while smiling in satisfaction. She walked slowly to me till she was just a few inches away from my face.

“Next time, you treat me like your boss. Because in all ways I am better and above you. You’re just a maid! Get that into your thick skull”

I felt her words piercing me in every angle of my heart but couldn’t do anything about it.

I watched her walk out of the room in anger.

Then I picked up my cleaning tools and cleaned the whole room up again.

I finally finished all the chores. It was 7:30 pm now. I fell on my bed, tired and weak both physically and emotionally.

I just wanted to catch some sleep. I thought about my life now as I drifted off.

“Ciara!”

“Ciara!” Walter called jolting me up from my sleep.

Before I could answer him, he barged into my room.

His eyes were burnt with anger, his nose wrinkled.

“How dare you?!” He fired firmly.

I trembled in fear as I clung to my bed a little tighter. Walter looked like he was going to devour me into pieces.

“First, you poisoned me and called it breakfast. Then you tried to kill my girlfriend?”

Kill? Who was I going to kill? I stared in confusion trying to understand when I did all these he was accusing me of.

“You know you're doing really terrible on your first day, and I'm going to teach you a lesson”

Almost immediately, two men came into the room and dragged me underground. I cried for help as I was being held forcefully.

I begged Walter to come to my rescue but he never did. Then I was thrown into a room full of darkness. It scared me to my bones.

“Hello” I heard a voice coming from the room I was just thrown into.

“Who’s there?” I cried out in a shaky voice
