POOR LITTLE RICH ME.

IT'S A WOLF IN A SHEEPS SKIN.

I have no idea how long it took us to get wherever we were going, i just remember waking up to a better bed actually a great one for that matter, i was alone in the room and the birds/cows noises were no more, it felt strange because i had gotten used to them. I didn't know what time it was, where i was or how i got here but after some recollecting of my memory i remembered i came here with "auntie" so i got out of bed reached for the door and stepped out.

The house was big and magnificent this was the norm in my previous life and it somehow gave me hope that i will be seeing my family soon. Since no one was up yet or so i thought i decided to take a stroll and suck in my surroundings. I noted my room was attached to the main house but with the door opening to the outside, the best thing it was en-suite, i longed for that long hot shower but i needed to see my surrounding first, the house was palatial almost resembling ours though ours was way bigger, in the parking there were six vehicles and the lawn was beautifully mowed with several art work which i loved so much, the scent of the flowers was so beautiful that i couldn't help but pick several for my "room" i.e if it the room was mine. As i was taking in this almost familiar sites i heard someone calling me and i immediately run over, it was my new "auntie" she saw the flowers in my hands and i realized i made a mistake because the kind of smile she gave was so plastic, i apologized and she told me not to worry but next time i should ask the gardener to pick the flowers for me to which i nodded my head in agreement and also ashamed for ruining rather mishandling her flowers, in my heart i was literally begging for her forgiveness "please auntie don't be mad at me, i know you are so nice but forgive me" however i couldn't voice it out.

She told me i was going to stay with her family till my family was found which she gave me hope by saying "sooner than you expect" she told me to freshen up and join them for breakfast therefore i rushed back in "my room" and took a quite long shower, it was heavenly and surprisingly they had  put  my favourite shower gel. I didn't feel like leaving the shower but had to join them for breakfast (didn't know how many they were) and i didn't want to keep them waiting, as my mum use to say breakfast is the most important meal.

I finally joined them and found they had began eating therefore "auntie" gestured me where to seat and told me "enjoy and don't hold back, i know its been long since you took proper breakfast" i smiled shyly as i took my seat, i was greedily hungry because i couldn't remember eating the previous night but i couldn't show how eager i was to eat, so i served small portion of everything and poured a glass of milk and ate in silence just like everyone else. After we were done eating eating she introduced me to everyone her eldest son who seemed slightly older than me, a little girl who was around five years and a toddler who was very jovial and very playful. After meeting everyone she told me that day i was just to rest do whatever i wanted but i could help around with the baby since she was dropping the other two to school to which i didn't see any issue, before leaving she introduced the two house helps and a gardener so as not to feel like i was left with strangers, she told me they were like family and so i should be part of it, little did i know the meaning of those words but the rest completely understood. The day went on well without much happening apart from normal chores, i spent the best part of it with the baby unless she was asleep, one of the helps even showed me how to feed the baby and i was so excited since i had never handled a baby before, she promised me the following day she was going to teach me how to change diapers and basic child care to which i didn't see anything wrong but little did i know i was being trained to be part of the work force around the house and mostly my duty was going to be the baby.

When they came back in the evening the house-helps praised me in-front of "auntie" how i was a natural in taking care of the baby and pride was oozing through my mouth because of the broad smile i gave to add to what they said, i fed the baby during dinner and she ate very well that the mother was really impressed. A week passed by and before long it was already a month but auntie kept updating me occasionally that they were trying their best though it was tough since they didn't have an idea who had my family, according to her my dad had many business enemies both locally and abroad, therefore the detective suspected there was a collaboration both locally and internationally that's why they disappeared without any trace, i really felt for auntie for all the trouble i had put her into in order to find my family, one day i was going to pay back her kindness. I also told her of my dads rather my family's offices in Nairobi at least i knew the name of the company to which i told her to check whether it was still operational to which she promised she was going to check and also ask if anyone knew of my family's whereabouts.

After one month "auntie" also informed me i was to take my meals with the helps since i didn't have to wake up early to which i agreed but being the curious type, i started to smell a rat. By this time i was close to the babies and they loved spending time with me, i was an expert in child care and was teaching her so many things, Brianna (the five years old ) loved doing her homework with me and also always asked me to read her bedtime story or just play with her. Every end month "auntie" used to give me money to buy personal effects but i wasn't supposed to get out of the gate, therefore i used to write a list and give it to her or one of the helps. What they didn't know i had already realized what was happening, in the name of looking for my family she had made me a baby sitter and the "pocket" money was my payment which was very low for a job i even didn't need or want. Her son used to eye me uncomfortably and there is a day he s*****d me which startled me but he apologized saying it was an accident but this accident seemed to increase no matter how much i got out of his way, i once told auntie and she got mad at me and this confused me because i had been taught since i was a child there some parts of my body no one was allowed to touch and this boy was going beyond that yet his mother didn't see anything wrong with that she just dismissed me by saying he was just being playful with me nothing much, you should have seen the grin on his face when his mother said so, it was the most wicked grin i have ever witnessed under the heavens. There also used to be several visitors to this house of different nationalities and mostly we used to serve them but they never talked in our presence.

I almost accepted my fate till one day, a Chinese came visiting and as i was serving them tea they were discussing in Chinese not knowing i was actually very fluent in it, the visitor was telling "auntie" i see you have done a good job with this bastard, this is even better than killing her reducing her to nothing is the best punishment, how does it feel to have your enemy work for you for free?" wait a minute i almost spilled the tea but i acted as if i heard nothing but i needed to hear more and once i served them i had to leave their presence, what was i going to do? i wished i had a cell phone to record because now it was crystal clear no one was looking for my family if anything they had an idea of what happened to them and i also seemed to be a target too. So in order to stay i had to get a plan, i intentionally woke up the baby who was napping and she was so grumpy, it was very rare for her to cry so i told auntie that i suspected the baby was unwell, she requested me to take the baby to her and so in pretending i was very concerned about the baby i took a seat next to them, luckily baby just settled on her mums' laps and since they didn't realize that i understood what they were saying they continued with their discussion.

The Chinese visitor told her that the plan was almost done, that they wanted to get a family in china where they were going to take me as a slave, have those people t*****e me that i had to suffer for my fathers sin that i will wish i was never born. To say i was so tempted to tell them that i heard everything was understatement but now i realized i needed to get a plan very fast, they also added since they didn't have any of my documents they were going to change my name get a birth certificate therefore help me apply for a passport in the name of they wanted me to accompany the family in the oversees holiday. They were guessing it was going to take them at most three months since they didn't want to do it in a rush. Now i was advantaged that i knew what was going on and i decided i was going to play them in their own game, though i was young i knew a lot, that was the advantage of home schooling i was taught so much though it was just elementary level, i was great with technology that's what surrounded me and i had to take advantage, i had made up my mind enough of being taken advantage of, it was time i faced the world as it was. Finally the baby slept again and "auntie" handed me  to take her back to bed, i did so with a smile but this time even my smile was wicked. I knew now the game had officially started, they were playing alone though i was in it, now we are going to play, with them being blind and me being dumb.
