Marie.
Knock knock knock.
I tried to pull my eyes open when I heard the knock.
“Who could that be?” I hunted half asleep.
I traced my phone of the bed to check the time
“It's just 11am and there's someone knocking?” I groaned Again, dragging myself to the door I pulled the door open just to see a lady that looked to be in her thirties. She looked so young the same.
“Good morning!” I gretted her rubbing my eyes.
“Good morning ma'am!” She greeted and walked into the room.
I was confused in what exactly she wanted.
“Uhm I'm sorry who are you?” I asked.
She looked quite professional…
“Im Martha lady Madigan’s personal aide!” She spoke softly.
“Okayyyyy….I'm not lady Madigan I heard you don't have staffs here”
I knew it was such a good jdea that I went to culinary school behind the scenes, I could cook perfectly for myself..
“Lady Madigan has requested to see you by noon!”
Not when I was about to go back to sleep.
“But I just woke up, as a bride it's very stressful you know??”.
“She has given her orders!” She said and walked out the door.
I wanted to scream into my pillow on s normal day I'd sleep till 8:00 am in the morning but yesterday was too hectic for me and I had to just rest and now lady Madigan was sending for me???
I crept to the bathroom to get ready.
The Madigan mansion is as expected but the pictures weren't doing enough justice..
The water spring and the little green gardens…the atmosphere there was so refreshing yet lacked life..
Something was lacking I Just couldn't place my fingers on it..
Martha ushered me to the quarters where lady Madigan seemed to live in…
Which was better Madigan being a royal family or Madigan being s business family!??
I think the business aspect has always been their niche.
“Lady Madigan!” I greeted…
“How are you doing, Marie?” She asked..
Seeing her made my heart jumped she looked like the coolest person you will ever meet..
I heard she is Jude's grandmother.
“I'm doing great, it's a nice place to be in!” I chose my words carefully.
How is she??
She doesn't even look like a grandma!!!!!
“It sure is, I know your presence here will be known, come I want to walk you around the place!”
She stood up and I bet this woman didn't grown or anything she looked real healthy…
“Tell me about yourself Marie other than what the world know you as!”
I thought about it there were s lot of things I could say but I didn't even know where to start.
“The world does not define me lady Madigan, I'm just Marie, a normal human being who had taken decisions in life that as always brought closer to destiny, I'm here also because I made a decision, so lady Madigan, I am Marie, you would know more about me, like you said my presence here will be known!”
She dropped in her tracks and looked at me in the eyes, with a smile plastered on her face..
“You father has trained you well!”.
We walked around the whole mansion of the Madigans and I would say I indeed needed that stretch..
I retreated back to the house and I come to the realisation that I hadn't actually checked out the kitchen.
It was half past one PM and I was already starving.
My jaw was to the ground the kitchen is AESTHETIC ITSELF …
“You've gotta be joking!” I traced the counter of the miraculously gigantic kitchen, the counter was made with dark marble and it had such a noticeable glitter to it.
I junped up in the air punching into nothingness…
It's as if they already knew what I wanted as my dream kitchen..
The whole of he Madigan family was painted with neutral colours…. I was even more curious about Jude's room.
Wait that was true…I hadn't seen Jude since last night..
I shrugged and immediately got to cooking.
“Don't tell me you know how to cook!” I heard a male voice behind me.
I looked back just to see the remaining three Madigan brothers staring at me .
“Uhmm yes ?” I replied, navigating myself from the freezer to the stove
Luckily I brought an along with me, I had always kept an apron that matched the aesthetic of my dream kitchen.
“No way!” Keller dahsed into the kitchen popping one piece of chicken into his mouth…
His eyes went wild and he didn't say Anything at first .
Oh no let it not be what I'm thinking….
He didn't even munch on the chicken either!!!
“What?” I asked him and not only me, the rest were looking at him expecting him to say something!!!.
“Spectacular give me fourteen more!” Keller finally voiced and in a split second he carried the bowl of fried chicken and sprinted out of the kitchen with his brothers…
First of…Phewwww
Second…my chicken!!!
“Hey get back here you thief!” I yelled running after him into the living room.
“Come on we can Always make some later!” Kennan pleaded.
I had noticed that Theodore was avoiding me ….and I just didn't know why…
“We?”
He looked back at me ..
“Yes ….we?”
“So you are saying we can cook together all of you!” I clarified.
They slowly nodded their heads in unison…
……Okayyy that sounded fair enough considering that I was going to be cooking a lot…
“Okay then!” I sprinted to the kitchen and turned the stove off, I returned to join them in the living room where they were trying to select a movie..
“What are you doing?” Keller asked .
“Eating chicken you Guys are rich enough to buy more chicken and since we are cooking together we can make dinner!”...
They all looked at me shocked …
“What?”
“You have so much confidence in us to join you?” ..
“Why won't you?” I glared at them…
if there was one hing I know how to do .. it's babysitting spoilt brats.
“Let's watch John wick!” I suggested….
“What??” The exclaimed in unison .
