SAVING ANGEL

CHAPTER 11

GILDA'S POV

I was so confused; a lot of pressure was on me to hurry to make Angel's food. My hands were already shaking. My legs were shaking as well.

I think I am going to make a mistake. The seeds that were given to me by the maid were placed on one of the plates there, and I was going to add them to the food.

I began to prepare this food with so much fear. I was scared of failing, of not being good enough, and they were going to kick me out of the house.

The maid would stand close to me and feel irritated at what was coming.

I paid no attention to her as I cooked. I added the seeds that were given to me and also other things that were on that roaster.

" I'm done," I said to the head maid.

" You have to get Angel downstairs so she can have her food," she responded.

I rushed out of the kitchen to Angel's room. She was already sleeping.

I became confused again. Was I meant to wake her up or just let her be? I went back and forth, thinking of what to do next.

I held her hands and tried to wake up from sleep.

I was glad when she opened her eyes and smiled at me.

" Dinner is served," I said.

She stood up from the bed and walked out of the room.

I followed her and we got downstairs. I went in to get her food and began to feed her with it.

I was scared, I felt I was not good enough, and I was never going to last here. All of these were just pointless. I should have turned this down.

" You have to pay attention to the amount of food you are giving to her. You do not have to be slow or fast about it. You just have to let it go gently into her mouth. You should know these things," the maid said.

I do not know why she was picking on me. It was better she closed her mouth and stayed the hell away from me.

I turned to Angel and smiled at her. She must not know that I am pissed.

" Are you enjoying your food?" I asked her.

She nodded her head. It made me smile. Even though it was the only thing she did.

I finished with her and took her to her room. She took her pad and wrote something on it, and she gave it to me.

" You want to watch something on television?" I asked her.

She nodded her head.

I wasted no time in getting it ready for her. She sat on her bed and kept her eyes glued to it.

I went back to the dining room and tidied up the table. I took the plates to the kitchen.

" You have to stay with her till she falls asleep. You can not sleep until she is asleep," the maid said.

" N,oted" I said to her.

" My name is Jane, by the way, you can call me that," she said.

" Alright, Jane, thanks for the tip, I appreciate the kindness," I said, even though I was aware she was never kind to me.

" You do not have to thank me for anything. And if you think I am being kind to you, you should think again. This has nothing to do with you," she rolled her eyes at me.

" Okay, I didn't see that coming," I said to her.

" Why should you? You took my position and space from me. I was in the right place to get what I wanted, and you dare stand in my way? How dare you?" She glared at me.

So much hatred in her heart for me. I wondered what it was that I took from her that hurt her so much.

" I'll be back there in no time. You can not do my job," she said.

I had to leave there; she was beginning to threaten me, and it was not healthy for me.

I left there and went ahead to be with Angel. I got into her room and saw a bad sight.

Angel was already on the floor, her little hands grabbed her stomach so tightly.

I screamed out my lungs, it can't be. I was going to be thrown out.

The maids rushed in and carried her from the ground.

" What happened to her?" they all asked me.

I had no idea. I met her that way. I was going to ask them if something like this has ever happened before.

Japheth was already out of his room.

" What happened to her?" He yelled; he felt like leaving his wheelchair.

" I have no idea, I met her that way," I tried to explain.

" Take her to the hospital this minute, take me with her as well," he yelled.

They got her into the car and drove it, then got Japheth into the second car and drove out as well.

My hands were shaky, and my breathing was no longer stable.

I felt a hand on my back, my clothes were dragged and then a slap on my face.

" I knew you were bad luck. What have you done to her?" She yelled at me.

My hands were still on my cheeks.

" Jane, what the hell have I done to you?" I asked her.

" It seems you do not know what you have done. You think you are going to escape this? You killer," she said.

It made no sense to me. What was going on? They planned to do this to me. I did nothing wrong.

" What are you talking about? And do not call me that, never use such a word on me, I did nothing wrong," I tried to explain myself.

" He is never going to forgive you, you tried to hurt his daughter? To cause her harm? He won't forgive you for it, I told you that you won't last long here, and I was damn right," she screamed it into my ears.

My world was falling apart again.
