Foretold by Fate

Chapter 7

Addison’s POV

What a beautiful morning! It is my first day of work today and it is also the first time to meet Sylvester here as his personal assistant. I grabbed the towel from the cabinet that was already there and I went directly inside the big restroom with a golden bathtub. I don’t know if they decided to put me here, not in the room of the other maids here. But, anyway I am so thankful that I am very comfortable with my room and it is also painted with aqua green which is my favorite color. 

When I turned on the shower and I saw the image of my parents. I saw them and I felt sorry because we are not given the same privilege like others. I know life is beautiful but not always. We faced a lot of problems but we don’t need to worry about it though! All the problems you face make you strong, it gives you courage to stand alone in future. After a couple of minutes, I am already taking a bath. When I left the bathroom, the telephone inside my room rang. 

‘‘Good morning Addison, this is Miss Shantal, how are you?’’ she asked me. 

‘‘Well, thanks Miss Shantal for giving me the best room! I am very comfortable,’’ I answered while brushing my hair with a towel in front of the mirror. 

‘‘Well, you deserves it and if you do your work properly, there is a lot of bonuses you will get…’’

After that conversation I continued changing my clothes and fixing myself. The uniform I am about to wear is the usual uniform of a nurse, not the white one but the blue one with white linen in it. According to Miss Shantal, this is the one I need to wear inside the mansion and since I am also the personal assistant of Sylvester. After I wear the prescribed uniform, I imagine my parents again. Sometimes, my Mom used to fix my clothes and now, I should do it alone. 

And I realized that, Life is full of moments of joy, pleasure, success and comfort punctuated by misery, defeat, failures and problems. There is no human being on Earth, strong, powerful, wise or rich, who has not experienced struggle, suffering or failure. I know Sylvester and his family experienced their first greatest failure before they became the most successful in the business world. That is why you have to work hard to reach the highest position.And I just want you guys to remember that, life is full of paths, you just have to choose the right one. Most importantly, life is interesting and amazing like the stars up in the skies.

When I go out, the first thing I see is the long hallway before you get into the stairs going down. The hallway is full of paintings from the different famous painters like Vincent Van Gogh. What I have observed about the chandelier hanging is ornate-glass-and-crystal. I continue walking and then the hallway also contains sculptures from different artists. It seems that I am in a museum but I really like how this mansion is being designed. 

When you are at the end of the hallway, it is a staircase that is divided into two. It is a glamorous staircase that really suits this mansion. The angled member for hand holding, is colored with stunning gold paired with white boxes where we step our feet with a red carpet in the middle of it. The hand holding is actually distinguished from the vertical balusters which hold it up for stairs that are open on one side. Of course there is often railing on both sides. 

Actually everything here is very glamorous—the internal designs are great.As I reach the clean white floor, someone called me. It was Miss Shantal, who’s calling me. 

‘‘Good morning Miss, I am glad that you are here, I almost forgot to wait for you upstairs because I was really fascinated with the architectural designs of this mansion and all the things you see here,’’ I honestly answered her. 

‘‘It is okay Dear, you can ask anyone here if you are lost and you can actually call me there’s a lot of telephone here.’’ She pointed a telephone at my side and yeah I saw one. 

‘‘Thank you Miss, what actually the first thing I need to do today?’’ I vocalized. 

‘‘Actually you need to go upstairs again, I just want you to wake him up (Sylvester),’’ She instructed. ‘‘You can use the elevator right there. 

She pointed at my back so I turned my body and I saw the golden door of the elevator. 

‘‘I see, thank you Miss, I gotta go.’’ She nodded and I turned my back from her and I headed towards the elevator. 

I clicked the fifth floor since it was the floor where the room was Sylvester residing with. When I heard the sounds of the elevator I went outside right away. Going to the room is also a long-walk and I think I will be sexier here because of this big mansion. 

‘‘Master’s Bedroom,’’ I read the signage. 

Before I knock on the door, I take a deep breath first because I know Sylvester will recognize me and it makes me embarrassed knowing what happened last time. I was about to knock but I didn't continue because I am petrified. I blew some air and shaked my hands in order for me to relax. The next thing I did is I leaned on the door and the next thing that happened is, I was lying on the floor while Sylvester is looking down on me. 

‘‘You are so clumsy! Get up, no need for you to wake me up…’’ he strictly said. 

I quickly fixed myself and helped him. When I touched his biceps I suddenly felt electricity, which made me remove my hands on him. 

‘‘What happened to you?’’ He asked while we were walking towards the elevator

‘‘N-nothing Sir,’’ I stuttered. ‘‘B-by the way, I would like to a-apologize for what happened last time, I didn’t mean to bump into you that time,’’ I said sincerely. 

When we were inside the elevator I felt awkward, so what I did was to look down. I know he can see me through the reflection since this elevator is designed with a glass one. 

‘‘You need to pay for all the things you did to me.’’ I quickly looked at him the moment I heard it. 

‘‘W-what s-should I do Sir?’’ I shuddered. ‘‘I am very sorry Sir, but please don’t fire me, I badly need a work.’’ I said sadly.  

I was about to say something again when the elevator opened and he went directly outside. I followed him, and held his bicep again. 

"I think you really love holding my biceps don't you?" He teased me. "Don't worry, you can taste everything I have," he added. 

I know it was a joke but I couldn't imagine that this famous man has this side—couldn't be truer. I didn't talk again until we reached the dining area. 

"What happened to you? Why aren't you talking?" he curiously asked me. "If you think that I am going to fire you, no. What you really need in order for you to pay for all the things you've done is to work hard for me," he stated. 

I felt relieved after hearing his statement. I thought I would actually be fired, but I was wrong. But seeing his weird smile, there's something demonic he wants me to do today. 

I composed myself because I know after he ate he will instruct me to do something. But I was informed by Miss Shantal last night that, if ever Sylvester asked me to do something harder, it is part of his initiation rights. 

I also learned that if you give up, you will be automatically fired by Sylvester but if you fight harder you'll get a good bonus right after the initiation rights. 

"Miss Villafuente! I am calling you!" He shouted. 

I came back to senses when he shouted. "I am very Sir, for s-spacing out, what do you need S-sir?" I stuttered. 

"I said Miss Villafuente, get me some milk," he asserted. 

But before I left him, I clarified first that I wasn't a Miss. "Sir, I am a man therefore you can use Mr. not Miss," I explained. 

"I know! But I think it's not appropriate to use Mr. on you! Too beautiful to be called Mr. You may go."

The moment he said those words, I was stunned deep inside. I never thought to be complemented by a Mclaine. You know there's a lot of woman and gays out there who's fantasizing Sylvester. 

"Hmm hello? Where can I get milk for sir Sylvester?" I asked the maid who's sweeping the floor in the kitchen.

"Hey, are you the newly hired worker here?" I nodded at her. "I am Joanna, you can call me Jo, here's the milk of sir Sylvester." She gave me a glass of milk. 

"Thank you so much J-joanna I am Addison by the way…" I introduced myself to her. "Let's talk later Sir might get angry, okay?" She nodded and I bid goodbye. 

I didn't waste any time, I quickly brought the milk to Sylvester who's still eating right now. I just put the glass beside his water. He just looked at me silently and so I stood again beside him. 

After he ate, he asked me to follow him so I did. I feel that it will be the start of the demonic plan of Sylvester. It's a long-walk after we reached the…

"Dog house?" I uttered. 

"Exactly! You need to clean all their s**t" He ordered.

"R-really Sir? Aren't they going to bite me?" I asked him. 

However, what I get is his demonic smile. "If you surpass this I'll put 50 thousand in your account." My eyes widened when I heard those words from him. 

But, I am afraid to get inside since they're all big—Cyberian husky dogs. Actually, it is not really dirty, since inside is like a room also for someone like me. Still, I am hesitant to get inside. 

"In the count of ten, if you didn't get yourself inside you will automatically be fired, in ten...nine…" 

Without a doubt I quickly opened the door of the dog house and went inside. After I locked it, I closed my eyes and I waited for the dogs to eat me alive. 

Minutes had passed, I didn't feel anything so I slowly opened my eyes and I saw the dogs looking at me and they waggled their tails. It means that they like me, so I take a deep breath. 

"Hello doggies! Y'all are so cute! I never thought that all of you are good! Let's play after I clean your house okay?" I talked to them. 

After I said those to them they ran as if they were with their fur mommy. I start cleaning their s**t and sometimes they want to play with me so what I did, I played with them while cleaning. Then I suddenly realized about Sylvester. 

"O-oh Hi sir!? I almost forgot about you...I am very sorry for playing with your cute doggies," I said. "Done cleaning their house Sir," I added after I turned off the faucet. 

"Great, for the first time, my doggies didn't bark at someone like you," he commented. 

"Y-you mean Sir, that these dogs don't like someone to get inside their house except you?" 

"Exactly, that's why I got shocked when they didn't do anything on you earlier, you're so lucky!" he blurted. "After you take a bath, go to my office okay?" 

He didn't wait for my response, he just left me right away after saying those words. 

"Your master is so strict, he must be thankful with me since he's so handsome so he's an exemption," I mouthed. 

"I heard it! See I told you, you can resist my charm!" 

I was shocked when I heard him, I thought he was already gone.

"W-what? No S-sir, it's not for you duh!" I stuttered. "I am referring to Joshua, I bet you know him?" I lied. 

"I don't believe you...anyway after that, go to my office." He turned his back and I continued what I was doing.

"Argh that man! He's getting on my nerves!" I blunted.
