This does not seem too bad. All the other list in the past were huge and would take all day to do but this one would take until the afternoon; something is not right here, and I do not like it. I have a funny feeling that I am not going to enjoy tonight. Going through the list I get to work before Maria shouts at me. Throughout morning ticking of the chores one by one Maria has given me my snack on break, only a ham and tomato sandwich with some water, well better than nothing at all! Once I scoffed my food down, washed the plate and wiped my hands with a cloth. My last chore for the day is to set the dining table for two. I am so intrigued on who is coming tonight? Maria does not have many guests over for meals, mostly goes out during the day, gets pampered and have five-star meal. Nice for some!

 I walked over to the unit that stored the silver and tablecloths, I removed all the items from the table and placed a table protector and then the main sheet. After that I placed two food mats, 1 on the head of the table and the other on the heads right with matching coasters then the cutlery. For the finally touch nice flower piece at the centre of the table. I sighed and went to Maria to inspect the table. With her look round the table and checking dust. She nodded and told me to leave to go to my room. I did as I was told and went to the third floor which where my room is.

As I entered, I checked my clock which it was 1:45pm. I set my alarm for 5pm so I will not get up late for this evening event, I got into bed and soon as my head hit the pillow I fell into a deep slumber. I was awoken by my alarm dead on 5pm, I quickly turned it off and got out bed. I went to the bath room and noticed that there was some products on the side, Maria must of put them there when I was asleep, I really want to know what her game is after all these years and then this particular day she is acting bit nicer; less chores on the list, nap in the day and some bath products on the side. I picked them up one by one and looking at them. one was strawberry shower gel, a razor, a bath sponge and a perfume bottle of Daisy Marc Jacobs. This bottle I know was designer as Maria likes to spend her money on designer stuff. Turned the shower on and let it run to warm, got undressed and got in the shower, I used all the accessories excluding the perfume as going to use that for later, I got the towel from the side, turned the water off and wrapped bath towel round me and got out. I feel cleaner and fresher in such a long time only got given soap to use when I have shower and mostly the water was not that warm. I headed to the bedroom and dried myself and my hair.

Taking the towel off I grabbed fresh pair of undies and bra and put them on next I looked at this most beautiful dress I have ever seen. It was a dark purple plain skater dress that was sleeveless and neckline, I do not go all fancy when it comes to clothing, Maria gives me a cloth allowance each month which is twenty pounds. Which means I must look in the sales and charity shops as that’s what I can afford, I am not like other women that spends £1000s on clothes, shoes and bags. I am grateful for what I have, I slipped the dress on and it was perfect fit and then put the black flat shoes on. After I walked to my secret draw that is hidden in my chest of drawers, opened the box and had silver love heart shape locket that has a picture of my beloved parent , I miss them terribly much, I know that I didn’t get to see mother but I remember what father was telling me years ago how she was: very kind and passionate person that always helps others and bit brainy too and brought the best out of dad, that’s what he told me. I put it on around my neck under the dress so its hidden and then started to brush my hair I thought to not put it up and just to leave it down, can’t believe it almost touches my bottom, Maria tells me that I should get it cut but I always shrug it off as I love my hair. After I looked myself in the mirror and was very shocked on how I looked, so pretty if I say so myself hahaha. I looked at the clock and it was 7:30pm then I heard Maria call my name, had this weird feeling that I probably won’t come back here I have seen in some of the movies that some young girls get taken away and never see their loved ones again, to be honest I’m glad that I don’t have to see Maria again as she is not a loved one in my eyes, all I can do is wish.

I started to head down the stairs and as I got closer I heard a man’s voice chatting with Maria, well this is it Crystal time to face what is coming to me I thought to myself, as I got to the bottom I heard maria say "Crystal please come to the dining room”, I did as I was told and soon as I walked in I saw and middle age man must be in late 40s in a black suit siting on the right side of Maria, he’s hair was short and black and looked tough, don’t want to get on the wrong side of him I thought to myself, “ here she is my personal maid all ready to go Mr Ricci” Maria said. The man known as Mr Ricci stood from is chair and walked to towards me then looking at me up and down, “Maria what is going on?” I said, “you will be going to the Mala Del estate and serve under them and don’t worry I will be going there on business very frequently”. “Why me though?” “You my girl are a down payment as I owe the Mala Del twins a lot of money and Mr Ricci here has made a deal with me and you know that I can’t refuse that offer, you will be living there from now on but when I’m there you still tend to me” “You can’t do this to me after all I done for you and we are family” I protested “we are not family girl what gave you that idea?” how dare she marry my father then suddenly he gets killed and she inherits everything, even my mother’s diner which she owned dad kept it running how it was and did very good business but since SHE!! Came in the picture it all went downhill and now the dinner has been boarded up and left forgotten. “We best get going Miss and then get you settled” said Mr Ricci, he grabbed my arm very tight and dragged me to the front door, “oh remember girl, know your place, the Mala Del twins I hear can be very harmful when servants and people disobey them” with an evil grin showing on her face. Mr Ricci opened the slide door of  his truck, put me in and told me to put my seatbelt on, then he got in the front done all his checks then we set off, I looked behind and watched the house I was in since I was 13 disappear into the night sky.
