“ no Bianca am not a Mafia don or ring leader but it's true I am a King. I am a dragon king and you my dear are my queen.”
Those words disturbed Bianca ever since that night. She didn't talk further because she thought he was just pulling her legs but after she slept and woke up she began to think about what he said.
She remembered him saying he was a dragon king and she also recalled how to fought with those thugs. He actually brought out fire from his palm. An ordinary human being won't be able to do that but he did that means he is not ordinary. She thought.
She was conflicted in her thoughts that she didn't notice Iris entering her room.
“ Bianca what are you thinking of so deeply? Is anything the matter?” Iris asked startling her.
With her hands on her chest she breath out
“ you scared me Iris.”
Iris let out a laugh
“ sorry about that but it's not my fault you spaced out and didn't know about arrival. Now tell me what's bothering this early hours of the morning.”
Bianca let out a sigh.
“ I will tell you later right now I need to perform my duties as a wife. Give me five minutes to freshen up and I will be with you shortly.”
“ huh? What duties is that?” Iris asked looking so confused.
“ I have to do some chores and make breakfast of course.” Bianca said giving her a duh look
“ Bianca you can't do that. Your are the mistress of the house you are not allowed to do any chores besides the servants can do that.” Iris said to her.
“ but I love to work and I'm just doing what a good wife will do so please don't stop me.”
“ but the master won't be pleased to hear this. He will get mad if he finds out about this.” Iris said to her
“ don't worry about him. I will handle him myself. Just wait for me besides remember you have to take me on a tour later. I'm not familiar with the house yet and I haven't gone out to see this place.”
“ alright hurry up.”
Bianca stood up and started arranging the bed.
“bianca don't do that. Leave it for me and go and freshen up.” Iris said trying to stop her but Bianca was stubborn to listen.
“ Iris today don't stop me from doing whatever I want alright. I'm not complaining doing this besides I always wake up to arrange my bed every morning. Is something I'm used to so let me do it.” Bianca said and continued arranging the bedsheets neatly on the bed.
After she was done, she carried her towel and went into the bathroom to have her bath leaving Iris in the room.
Iris truly admired her mistress who is her best friend. Ever since she came into the mansion, she has been nothing but loving and kind to her. Never in her wildest thought will she ever expect to be the best friend to her master's wife. It was an honour to her.
She truly admires Bianca for her simplicity. She couldn't help but wonder how her master found her because she knew very well that Bianca didn't look like someone who belonged here. She also doubt if Bianca knew the type of man she married but she was not in any place to tell her.
Bianca came out when she was done bathing. She selected a long blue flowering dress to wear. After she was done dressing, she and Iris left her bedroom.
“ you look simple but yet beautiful.” Iris complimented her.
“ thank you. I actually don't get that alot.” she said blushing.
She never heard anyone compliment her except for her father and maybe some strange disgusting men she comes in contact with on the streets who only told her she was beautiful to warm their beds.
“ you don't get that alot, are you for real? Bianca have you seen you? No wonder my master picked you as his wife. Your so beautiful and you shouldn't forget that okay?” Iris said.
Bianca let out a small smile.
“ Yes Iris.”
Iris showed her the rooms on the floor of her room. There where four rooms including hers and Williams and a theater upstairs.
They proceed downstairs and Iris showed her the remaining four rooms for guests, the library which was filled with books, the glamours sitting room that had nice looking furnitures and a large screen, the dinning room and lastly the kitchen.
The area Bianca loved in the house was the library and the kitchen. She couldn't stop admiring the library that was arranged with books neatly on a shelf. She marked it as her comfort area. The kitchen left her in awe. Never has she seen a kitchen that looks so big and beautiful. From seeing the equipment in it you will know they are really expensive. Everything in the kitchen was sparking in her eyes. She was definitely going to love working in it.
The three maids who were in the kitchen when she and Iris entered bowed to her.
“ good morning everyone please raise I don't need that” she said warmly smiling at them.
They raised their heads but refused to look her in the eye.
“ what are you girls doing?” she asked.
The dark skinned one answered
“ I am in charge of washing the dishes and arranging them, Sally is in charge of cleaning while Nikki is the cook.”
“ And you didn't tell me your name?”
“Oh accept my apologies ma'am I'm Maria.”
Bianca smiled at them.
“ alright then Maria, Sally and Nikki I hope to work well with you three and also I don't mind if we bond as friends. What do you say?”
“ Ahh no ma we can't be friends with you, you are our mistress it's not acceptable.” the girl named Nikki said.
“ and who told you it's not acceptable?” Bianca asked
“ You are our master's wife. We can't be friends with our master's wife.” she said looking down.
“ Well as your master's wife, I command you three girls to be my friends and if you refuse to obey my command I will report you to your master for disobeying me.” Bianca said in a playful voice.
The three girls looked at each other. They were not sure if they could accept her offer.
“ come on girls, you need to obey her besides I'm also her friend too infact my grade is higher than yours I'm her best friend and trust when I say the mistress is nothing but very kind and she's friendly also. So relax and don't miss this opportunity to be friends with your mistress. You know it's a rare thing for your mistress to ask for friendship with maids when we are not in desame level but you have an offer on a platter of gold so just take it.” Iris said convincing the girls.
“ so girls who is in?” Bianca asked with a smile on her face.
“ I'm in” Maria spoke first.
“ me too” Sally said after her
“ me three” Nikki said making them to laugh.
“ alright then now that is settled, what's for breakfast?” Bianca asked as she went to pick an apron to wear.
Nikki, Sally and Maria wanted to oppose but Iris gave them the sign to let her be.
“ well we are going to prepare spaghetti and some beef stew.” Nikki said.
“ alright then if you don't mind Nikki I will love to take your place as the cook for today. So I will cook today but you can help out in some errands if you don't want to rest.” Bianca said.
“ yes ma'am.”
“ no you girls shouldn't call me ma'am or mistress. Call me by my name we are friends remember?” she said and was satisfied when they nodded their heads.
Together they began to work. Iris, Nikki, Sally and Maria were surprised to see she could cook so well. The aroma of her cooking was so nice.
Bianca was concentrating so well in her cooking to notice them looking at her. Because she was used to working non stop in her father's house that made her adapt to it and she gradually feel in love with cooking especially. She loved to try new dishes only that as her step mother and step siblings were enjoying her food, she on the other hand couldn't.
It was when she finished cooking that she raised her head and was shocked to see four pairs of eyes looking at her.
“ you girls, what's with the look? Is there something wrong or there is something in my face?” she asked.
“ Noo sorry mis... I mean Bianca is just that you look so awesome while cooking. ” Nikki said.
“ And the aroma is just I don't know how to put it. I know I should be ashamed for saying this but please I hope there will be a little spare to share only for tasting?” Maria asked.
Bianca nothing that among her three new friends, Maria was more outspoken and she never hides anything.
“ don't worry Maria you won't only have little to taste, your going to eat till your full because I made enough for everyone.” she said smiling.
They all cheered which made her laugh. For the second time, she felt happy that someone appreciated her cooking. The first person to appreciate her cooking was her father but from her stepmother and step siblings not even a ‘thank you’ or ‘ your food was delicious’.
She and the girls arranged the food in the dinning table. True to her word, she served them some spaghetti and stew with a little salad by the side. She was surprised when they started devouring the food with moans coming out from their mouths. Iris with food in her mouth smiled at her and gave her a thumps up making her to laugh.
Since she wasn't eating, she started washing the dirty dishes. Maria wanted to stop her but she told her to sit and eat and allow her work.
After they were done, she heard the front door closed and immediately the girls enter serious mode. They pushed a confused look Bianca out of the kitchen. She was wondering what was wrong with them not until she saw Williams.
She rushed to take his briefcase from him as she greeted him.
“welcome back. How was work today?”
“ thanks. Workwas fine although stressful that's why I came back early” he said.
“ You must be hungry then lunch is ready.” she said.
Williams felt so happy. He had a wife to come back home to. She even welcomed him warmly. Actually she was the reason he returned home early.
They walked into the dinning room.
“ have you eaten?” he asked.
“ not yet, was waiting for you to return so we could eat together.” she answered.
They sat down to eat. She served him and then served herself.
The moment he took a bite of the meal he stopped.
Bianca who had being looking at his face to see his reaction was scared maybe he didn't like the food that's why he stopped. He continued chewing then he swallowed and called out for Nikki.
Nikki came out trembling. Bianca could tell that she was scared.
“ Nikki who cooked this food because I have been eating your food for years to know that you are not the one that prepared this. Now tell me who did?” he asked. His tone didn't give out if he was angry or not.
Bianca couldn't help but feel sad.
‘ maybe the food was bad.’
Nikki was shaking to even speak.
“ I asked you a question didn't I? WHO COOKED THIS FOOD?”
Bianca couldn't help but shake herself.
“ I'm sorry sir the mistress did.”
