Stella and Cheryl smirked when they saw Ella walking towards their directions, they had ulterior motives while approaching her.
With a fake smile plastered on their face, they walked towards her. "Hi there Ella!" Stella greeted with a fake smile on her face.
Ella was taken aback by their approach, neither of them has ever approached her before. She wondered what they wanted from her.
"Hey," she replied with a force smile on her face.
"We've been looking for you for a while now. The chief of maids said to give you this curtain. She said to go change the Death lord curtain," Cheryl said.
"What?!" Ella asked in shock. Going into the room of the Death lord was obviously out of her list. She
Ella thought for some seconds that her ears might be deceiving her. Did the Death lord just ask her to keep him company? Was he really planning to kill her? She thought."Sir...you...I mean keep you...to keep you company?" She asked to make sure she heard right, then she realised she was never to ask the Death lord questions.Before the Death lord could speak, she interrupted him. "I never meant to ask you any question, please forgive me my Lord!" She spat out as fast as she could without stuttering.For a reason the death lord felt the urge to smile, her facial expression turned out to a very lovely sight to watch. He had never found anyone this amusing before without them trying to."Aren't we friends anymore?" He asked her.Ella's eyes widened when she heard what he said. Friends? Was he drunk? She asked within herself.How could she be friends with th
Ella heart skipped, she wanted to cry. She felt like fate had curses her so that she gets into one issue or another with the Death lord."Were you paid to go around seducing men?" He accused Ella with a very deep voice which made Ella tremble.Ella eyes widened when she heard the Death lords statement. Her shoulder sagged and her heart sank.She wondered why he accused her of such when she hasn't gone around seducing any man before.She wanted to ask him questions, she wanted to ask him why he made such accusations against her but she knew that would only be putting herself in a more difficult situation.She felt cheated as she couldn't defend herself, here in Narlands, it was as if everyone tongue was sealed when speaking to the Death lord. Not being able to defend herself, she wept instead."You can't speak?" He asked. Just when he was about to speak again, he noticed th
The Death lord had invited Ella, the chief of maids, Stella and Cheryl to the blue garden. While he waited for then to come, he shot at shooting range in the blue.Ella was worried when she was told she had been invited by the Death lord to the blue garden. That moment, she wanted the ground to open and swallow her.Her heart started pounding so hard when she thought of the possibilities that she might see her end soon. She wondered how she had offended the Death lord again, or maybe he got bored and decided to kill her once and for all.She felt the urge to cry but she was tired of crying, she was tired of everything. Ever since she came to Narlands with the hope of living happier than ever, it turned out to be the opposite.
Ella opened her eyes to see the blur image of the chief of maids looking at her. She wondered if she had died and was seeing this.When her eyes finally opened brightly, she saw the chief of maids by her side. She sat down on the bed instead of lieing down. She wondered what happened because the last thing she remembered was Stella being shot by the Death lord and...."You..." She collapsed after that.She did not die, she looked at her body to see if there were any bullets in them or any injury but she realised she was fine."You are finally awake, you suddenly collapsed," The chief of maids said. Ella wondered if she was spared because she collapsed or the Death lord was waiting for her to wake up before he finally kills her.She began to cry, it was really the end of her. She wished she never came to Narlands, maybe just then she would have survived."What's wrong?" the ch
"What?!" Ella was shocked at what she heard the chief of maids say.You are so foolish Ella! You just acted like an illiterate! She said within herself with a sad expression on her face."Are you serious? So that contract I signed had something like that written?" Ella asked wanting to confirm if what she heard was true."You mean you didn't go through the contract?" The chief of maids asked her.Ella felt foolish for just signing without reading and now there was no way she'd be able to leave this kingdom until she has served for at least a year. She rubbed her face with her palm as she grumbled. I am doomed, she thought to herself."I'd take my lead then," She said to the chief of maids as she made her way out. Once she came out of the chief of maids office, she saw a familiar royal guard."Liam!" She called onto him with a smile on her face. I
"And what do you mean by that old woman?" The Death lord asked his birth mother with a lopsided grin on his face.In the house of the Death lords, their mothers were never with them as their mother were always sent away as soon as they gave birth to the child of the Death lord.The Death lord has never for once called his mother, mother not by chance. When he turned eighteen, he saw his mother for the first time and his father had told him, she was just a means to give birth to him and not his mother, since then he referred to his mother as old woman."I have been here for a week now and I've seen the way your look at her, all though you threaten her and make her fear you, you smile a lot when you see her even if you don't realise it. I know that look my dear child and I'd tell you, the more you threaten her, the more she'd go away from you, that's for sure." His mother said.The Death lord frowne
After getting her first pay, Ella went home for the first time after a month. She had three days for resting before resuming back.She couldn't believe she survived a month in the royal mansion without being killed after all the almost death encounter she had. She rushed to get her bag, so that she could leave the royal mansion as soon as possible before the Death lord finds her and reminds her she'd die soon as he always does.She couldn't believe she wouldn't be seeing him for three days and for once, she wouldn't be walking in fear anymore, that feeling alone was priceless to her.She missed Mimi so much that she couldn't wait to see her friend after a month. Once she got her bag from her room, she left the royal mansion hoping to not be stopped by anyone and told the Death lord needed her presence.Once she got back to Mimi's apartment, she opened the door. She heaved a sigh when a fresh air filled her
Mimi wondered what Ella meant by she just messed up. Ella face palmed herself as she remembered her dream.How could you Ella? How could you have a dirty dream like that of a man who wants to kill you? She asked within herself as she began to cry.Mimi didn't understand what the sudden tears was all about. Did Ella dream about her parent? Mimi thought."What's wrong Ella?" Mimi asked her with concern laced on her tone.Ella cried out loud the more, she was more embarrassed and ashamed of herself as she remembered the dream. She wondered why she had a dream like that of all bad dreams she could have had. She has never fantasize about the Death lord like the rest of the other girls so why was she having a weird dream like that."It's over Mimi!" She said.Mimi wondered if she was fired from her job. Then Mimi thought again, getting fired from being a maid in t
