During the winter holiday, I realized that there were more than eight children in the Smith's mansion. They ran around the place screaming and laughing with joy, I heard only Ms Nova was entitled to see them after school breaks were over because she was the head servant. She would get their foods ready and all that while their tutors taught them in their class room on the top floor, well no one has ever been there before except Ms Nova.
Ms Alison hosted parties every Wednesday night, just to get us all tired and find a good reason to kill us. The night of a Wednesday, I was sitting by the door since we weren't allowed to go out, the party was going on loudly,it was a ball party filled with rich folks. Master Tyler entered the house, ‘ Why are you sitting here all alone? ’ he asked.
I shrugged my shoulder not knowing what to say, he stretched his hand out opening his palm.
‘ May I take this dance? ’ he asked.
‘ Oh no Ms Alison mustn't find out.. ’ I was interrupted by him.
‘ trust me she won't find out ’ he said gently.
I did and put my hand on his, he kissed it gently then pulled me up and slow danced with me, though I was horrible at it but I soon learned to dance.
At the finale before Ms Alison would give a toast, he spinned me around and stopped dancing.
We were so close, like he was hugging me but instead his was holding my hand and waist. We stared deeply into each others eyes until I saw someone at his back I pulled away immediately, he was startled by my sudden behavior then I looked over his shoulder and he turned around.
‘ Hey Tyler ’ Master Thomas said.
‘ Hey brother, so what brings you here? ’ he asked.
‘ um I also live here, look I hope you know what you're doing ’ Master Thomas said.
‘ don't make the same mistake I did ’ Master Thomas added then left.
I sat down back in my position while he left, I was cooking up a plan to make Ms Miller come back.
Ms Alison was worst than before, she killed almost ten people a day, I planned on writing a letter to Ms Miller I just hope she hadn't died.
So the next morning by four am I lit up the candle and wrote my letter.
DEAR MS MILLER,
WE ARE IN NEED OF YOU, FIRSTLY I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR MISJUDGING YOU, YOUR DAUGHTER MS ALISON IS NOT TO BE PLACE AS THE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF THE MANSION, SINCE YOU'RE STILL ALIVE. PLEASE MA'AM MS ALISON IS MAKING THIS PLACE FEEL LIKE HELL, SHE KILLS ALMOST TEN PEOPLE PER DAY. IMAGINE EVERYONE DIES WHO WOULD WORK FOR THE MANSION, NO ONE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LISTENING EAR I WOULD BE EXPECTING YOU SOON.
YOUR'S FAITHFUL
OLIVIA.
I sent it by six that morning, the next day I was serving the family tea for lunch when the door burst open and Ms Miller entered.
‘ hello family ’ she said.
A huge visible frown grew on Ms Alison's face, ‘ hello mother ’ she said through tightened teeth.‘ I have come to rule again ’ Ms Miller said.
‘ how ridiculous mother, you certainly can't do that ’ Ms Alison said.
‘ Well I can ’ Ms Miller smirked .
‘ Olivia get me my purse from the servant ’ Ms Miller added.
I rushed to get it and handed it over to her, she brought out an old document squeezed up. She unfolded it, ‘ this is the original document of my will and it doesn't have your signature on it ’ Ms Miller said.
‘ Wow how tricky ’ Mr Adrien said with laughter.
‘ welcome back Grand mother ’ Master Tyler said and offered Ms Miller a seat next to him.
I happily brought an extra cup of tea for Ms Miller, since then I was Ms Miller's personal maid. I was treated differently and there were lesser death happening.
Until everything shattered into pieces, I over heard two maids talking about Ms Alison's plan on killing Ms Miller. I rushed over to Ms Miller's room, one of the maid had said something about giving Ms Miller tea with poison in it. I tapped on Ms Miller's door put no response, I barged in seeing her on her bed eyes closed and a tea tray on her bed side table.
‘ Ms Miller!!, Ms Miller!!, Please don't do this to me! ’ I cried.
Memories of I and Ms Miller chatting about love and novels flashed before my eyes. Soon Master Tyler and Ms Nova rushed in, ‘ what happened? ’ Ms Nova asked.
‘ Ms Miller is.. de..dead ’ I answered still in tears.
‘ what? ’ Master Tyler said.
‘ Who would do such a thing? ’ Ms Nova asked.
‘ Ms Alison, I heard to maids talking about it so I came here to check on Ms Miller and I saw her dead ’ I said.
‘ but why would my mother kill Grand mother? ’ Master Tyler asked confused.
I rushed to the drawer where Ms Miller kept the document. The document was no longer there, ‘ I suppose she killed her to take the document ’ I said.
Master Tyler angrily went to confront his mother during family lunch. ‘ mother!!, How could you? ’ he yelled.
‘ why are you yelling at mother? ’ Mr Adrien said.
‘ Grand mother is dead because of you.’ he said.
‘ what do you mean dead? ’ Ms Ann asked ( Master Thomas wife ).
Some of them ran to Ms Miller's room to check and they all came back sad, ‘ but how is that her fault? ’ Mr Thomas said.
‘ she put poison in Grand mother tea and then took the stupid document ’ he yelled.
Every one turned to Ms Alison, ‘ If a stupid document could make you kill your own mother then you don't deserve to be called my mother ’ he said and left.
‘ was that true Alison? ’ Mr Cohen asked ( her junior brother ).
‘ of course not, who told him that nonsense? ’ she said.
They all turned to me, in a minute I was thrown into a cell to rott for three days before my execution.
My first night was horrible, it was like the mosquitoes had planned with Ms Alison because they bit my body so badly that I couldn't sleep until one am.
