Chapter 2
Emily
I slowly stood up, looking around the room in search of the bathroom then I saw a door, I dragged my tired feet towards it, grabbed the doorknob and opened it, entering inside it was a small bathroom but not as small to the one we have back at home, I looked into the mirror there to see me reflection my clothes were already dirty, my eyes were now dark and I was looking like someone that was picked from the gutters, I undressed myself and turned on the shower the cold water began to fall on me I closed my eyes feeling the warmth of it and my mind went back to mother at home how is she going to do without me,
I felt like dozing off. I was too tired from the constant crying. I was still bathing when I heard a knock on the door. I finished my shower immediately and looked around the bathroom but didn't see any towel so I opened the door and walked out naked. It was the strange lady again.
she kept looking at me in a strange way like I was a ghost
“I didn't see any towel in the bathroom”I said to her so she wouldn't misunderstand me.
“Be fast with whatever you're doing”She said to me, then she stepped aside as I wore the dress she gave me earlier,
“I'm done” I said to her and she turned to look at me
“Follow me” She muttered as we headed downstairs. I was walking downstairs with her but it seems like it wasn't ending we passed through so many route and got to to an elevator I was surprised as at how an elevator is inside someone's mansion thought you could only see them at companies and shopping malls, she pressed a button and the door opened we entered inside then she pressed two, after some minutes the door slides open and we came out
we walked for some minutes and she finally stopped in front of a door, it was open and it looked like many people were inside cause it was so noisy, she entered then I followed her my eyes met so many gazes on us, I looked down immediately just to avoid any trouble we got to a table then she asked me to sit down which I did she gave me three sandwiches and a cup of milk. I took three sandwiches and a cup of milk. I wasn't concerned about the breakfast I was having,I kept thinking of any possible way of escaping from this lion's den.I was still lost in thought when a guard came and was asking who Emily is but nobody seems to know
“Emily, Emily!” He shouted,
“Follow me,” He said in a commanding tone.
I rushed and stuffed the remaining sandwich in my mouth running out to meet him . We kept walking inside the compound and even passed through a gate which led us to another compound. inside the compound there were so many men on black with guns and others with things I don't know what it's called. He was already inside when he looked back he obviously didn't see me with him he came out baking at me to run inside and not to even think of doing anything funny inside the house looked more of a cassi to me. He pointed out a place and said I should go meet the waiters there.I walked over to meet them.
I got there and stood for about five minutes I didn't know who to ask were my table was or anything then I decided to ask one of the waiters there
“Hey please, do you guys know where my table is?” I asked, they all ignored me like I was just invisible, I felt emotional to the point of crying, only if my father didn't borrow money from that man all this won't be happening tears kept rolling down my eyes then I saw a woman walking towards me
“Emily, right?” She asked in a calm voice,
“Follow me” She said
I followed her like a lost puppy, we got to a table and she stopped.
“This is where you would be serving tonight,” She said. Around 8:30 pm the casino was already getting filled with people. I looked up and saw a group of men with guns walking towards my table, I was deeply praying they wouldn't come to my counter so I wouldn't receive them.
They all gathered around my counter, they were discussing how their mission was a big success and how the boss would be happy that they defeated the black Shadows. I was so scared I kept thinking of what mission they were talking about. Why would their boss be happy that they killed and defeated people, shouldn't they be sad and worried that their hands were now stained with blood? I was serving them when one asked if I was a newbie. I nodded and they continued with their drinks and discussion. I kept thinking of my mother hoping she's fine and that they didn't go back home to hurt her.
Around 11:00 pm the party ended, I was cleaning up were they drank when a girl walked up to me she gave me a bucket and a mop and said I should go clean the VIP room where the boss was I didn't want to go but she gave me a glaring look like someone who would make my life a living hell. I didn't want to add any more problems to myself so I took it from her heading upstairs .She already told me how to find the room and where to find the room
I got there and knocked. I was asked to come in.
I opened the door and my eyes met a pair of blue eyes his gaze was piercing through my skin, I felt like he was a demon in human form he smirk at me which sends shivers down my spine, he didn't say a word to me so I went straight to cleaning the place after some minutes he asked
“You are the girl that came today right?” He asked
“Yes sir, my name is Emily,” I responded.
“Your work starts tomorrow, listen carefully cause I don't like repeating myself, you would be cleaning my room, everything there both the garden and making sure it's sparkling clean. The aunty who gave you clothes will show you the way to my room and make sure you don't touch anything that you shouldn't touch” He warned.
I quickly wrapped up my cleaning and went back to my room, Took a nice shower and went to bed. Next morning I woke up around 6:30 am, brushed my teeth, had my bath and headed downstairs. I had breakfast in the kitchen and waited for the aunty to finished so she would show the the way to the boss's room she finished up and asked me to follow her , we walked through a hallway and entered the elevator which took us to the fourth floor she stopped at a door and asked me to enter that the boss has left for work.
I opened the door and saw a very beautiful and luxurious room that was painted in black throughout. I was wondering who on earth paints their room in all black but it was still black and giving that scary vibe. I sat down there thinking of a better plan for my escape and didn't realize it was already 1:50pm and I hadn't done anything yet so I rushed into the bathroom and started from there.
First I spent about 30 minutes cleaning the bathtub just to make sure it's sparkling clean. After I was done cleaning the bathtub, I came into the main room and started with the bed. I arranged the bed, cleaned the room, the mirrors and everything.I opened the closet and started taking out all his dirty clothes,took them to the washing machine, I made sure to wash each set two to three times before drying them just to avoid any problem.
After that I went into his office, I dusted the tables and chairs there, cleaned his laptops, arranged his documents and then cleaned the floors. I was about to leave his office when I saw that there was another door, I opened it and discovered it was the office toilet. I quickly cleaned it fast. It was already getting dark and I hadn't finished cleaning everywhere.
I went into the washing room and took out his clothes that were already dried and went to iron them. I ironed them very fast, still making sure there was no mistake.It was then the last task for me which was cleaning the main sitting room, I started first with the sofa chair, I began to dust the chairs and tables making sure there was no mistake.
I cleaned the television, ps games and other things I saw there. I finished with that and went to the bar side, I was removing the wines one after the other and cleaning them, when I heard a loud roar in the back corner I was so scared and didn't remember there was still wine in my hand it fell off and broke into pieces.
The door cracked open and the boss walked in.
