Emma.
“Miley! For the last time, there's no way I'll sell my body to any man.” I exclaimed at the blond hair girl through the phone.
After that encounter, I have been trying to find a job that could pay off dad’s treatment.
“And yes Emma! I said I get it but where do you want to find a kind of job that could afford for your dad’s treatment? I can't lend you too much money, you know.” She retorted with the same energy.
I sighed.
“Look, I know how difficult it is for you this period, especially in New York, but the only thing you can do right now is to sell yourself which I definitely do not encourage you to do unless a miracle wants to transpire that money will just come sprinting down the sky unto where you are right now.” She said, talking from experience of being a banker.
“Ugh! This isn't the time to be joking, Miley. I'm emotionally downcast right now.” I sniffled into the phone.
She kept quiet for a while before speaking up.
“I really didn't want you to go for this kind of work, really, but there's this household thats waiting to hire housekeepers with over a pay of 650$. You could go for it. I believe if you work for about 3 years. You'll be competent to pay up, what do you think?”She declared.
650$? Not bad.
“Are you joking?” I asked.
“I know the pay is high for just working as a maid but I wouldn't joke in a situation like this.”She assured me, I could already feel the sincere smile she gave.
“Thanks Miley, you really got my back huh? I don't know what I'll do without you.”
“Haha, it's okay, I'll email you the details. Talk to you later, baby.” She made a smooching sound before we exchanged goodbyes and finally ended the call.
By the time Miley sent the necessities, I quickly applied, not bothering to review the little details of the application. I surprisingly got hired two hours after I applied and was to resume the next week. I was so happy I got employed.
Free food, rent free, even uniforms were going to be provided. I informed Sophie about the news when she got home from school. We both jubilated by ordering pizza and watching a romance film which had us dying with oppression.
The day of resumption finally came. I had gathered the things I needed.
“I promise, I'll always send some cash. Make sure to take care of yourself, you can go to parties but dont spend a penny. Let your friends be the ones to spend on you. Hear me?” Sophie nodded profusely before we hugged.
“Goodbye Sophie.” I finally gave her one last kiss before we separated ways.
The drive to the household took about 45 minutes knowing New York city was a busy place. I paid the cab driver when I arrived seeing him storm off the road.
Turning around, my eyes were met with the biggest gate I've ever seen in my life. I didn't see a small gate so I knocked on the hard metal gate which showed no reaction at all.
My eyes finally caught a gate intercom just by the side. I proceeded and pressed on the black dot, waiting to get a reaction.
The huge gate finally opened and I stepped in.
“Woah…”
The road trails far up to the huge mansion. The sides were beautifully gardened by huge green trees with ornamentals richly designed by the rhizomes of tree roots. The grasses lay smoothly on the rich soil and the natural scent gave the air a pleasing smell.
I walked up to the front as I adored the huge place. The sky was really blue today which complimented the green of the huge garden. Very captivating.
A woman stood up the porch as I approached her. She wore a maid outfit which gave me the hit that she's the one that'll be attending to me. Her hair was tied up in a bun with a maid hat fastened around her head.
“Good day ma, My name is Emma Addison. I applied as a maid for this household and my resume is meant to be today.” I politely said.
She nodded, “Come in with me.”
We made our way through the beautiful house. She introduced herself as Dorota before she started describing places in the building and what needed to be done there.
Finally we reached the back door. We stepped out before I was met with a small building.
“This is maids region. You'll be staying here.” Dorota declared. She wasn't really much of a nice person, in fact she was harsh and blunt. I didn't really like the energy she gave. It seemed like she was tired of the job by the way she just lazily said some things.
If you're tired, why don't you just quit?
By the time we entered, I was met with 4 rooms.
“Your room is the last one, you have a roommate. Make sure to never leave this place without your maid uniform on. I hope you hate your stay here.”
With that, she disappeared into the main house leaving me in utmost shock.
Okay, that was unexpected.
My roommate's name was Alice, she had a height of 5’2, very short knowing I was 5 '4 which was still short but I was taller. Alice turned out to be a very loud person, so apparently, she was always talking.
“I ain't gonna lie, I'm already tired of this place.” she faked sobs using her right hand to wipe her invisible tears. Such a Drama Queen.
“Why do you say so?” I asked out of curiosity.
“Oh! Where do I begin? I've only been here for a month and that psychic woman whose name is Dorota, more like Dora the pokenoser, has made my stay here abominable. She will literally make you want to leave this place. I don't know but I think she has an obsession with the Koch’s household.” She threw her hands in the air in frustration.
“Koch’s household?” I said too quickly.
“Uhm… Yeah, one of the richest families in the whole of America.” she bluntly said.
It couldn't be the Koch I know right? Nah, it's not possible.
“Okay, so could you continue on the things I need to know?”
She beamed, blabbering and hearing her words nonstop.
Emma.It's been a day in the Koch’s household. I was still under review so I hadn't started the real work. Every morning, we wake up by 4:00 am to tidy up the mansion. The mansion wasn't a small one so it would really be difficult cleaning the whole place. There were nine maids in total, Dorota who was the head maid, Brittney and Marissa who roomed in the first, Jasmine and Mia, also roomies, Mary and Diana, who gave off this kind of weird vibe and finally Alice and I, who stayed in the last room.Alice has been my guide. She explained things better than the so-called Miss Dorota. The maid's outfit was a little bit tight and short on me but that was the only available size. I never really wore revealing clothes so it was hard adjusting to the new lifestyle.I learned that Mr. and Mrs. Koch were both out of town and would be back a month after so it was just the grandfather and the twins, boy, and girl that were currently in the mansion.Alice and I plus Mary and Diana were currently
Emma.The next day was pretty shocking.Miss Dorota told me to deliver coffee to Jax in his room, she said he needed coffee every morning.How am I supposed to face him? Wasn't she the one that didn't wang me around the so-called young master? Why did she want me seeing him?“But ma, after what happened yesterday, I'm not sure you-...” I tried saying just to get interrupted.“Are you defying my orders, how dare you complain? Get out of my sight before I smack your face again, and trust me, it would be far worse if I get my hands on you.” She threatened.Oh my, this old woman was deadly.I quickly carried the tray where the cup of hot coffee sat before rushing out of the kitchen.The hallways were lit up by the white light as I made my way up the stairs to where his room was located.Stopping by his door, I knocked on the luxurious door waiting to hear his voice but he didn't talk.I decided to enter the room seeing his sleeping form lying comfortably on the soft white mattress. He loo
Emma. I was hereby forced to make his coffee every morning. Surprisingly, Jax didn't have a problem with the taste. He would have a satisfied look whenever he tasted it. But what surprised me the most was the way his eyes would just scan my whole figure whenever I came into his room. He would drink the coffee as his eyes bore into my figure making his face look more...more... I don't know. It's hard to explain. I wondered if it was because of the maid dress being kind of revealing but I just shrugged it off since he never commented on it. The mornings were all the same. I would greet him to which he responded bluntly but that was it. I promised myself I wasn't gonna answer him because if I did, I know I'll be risking my pay. Last night, I contacted Sophie and told her I was doing well. I didn't bother to mention the part of Dorota smacking me in the face or Jax, my high school bully being my boss. I really didn't want to worry her. Come to think of it, miss Dorota has been act
Emma.“Emma Addison…”The rumble in his voice drove my thumping chest over the edge. My name was smoothly pronounced in his fresh hot American accent. His coarse low tone vibrates through my senses making my legs feel like spaghetti.I watched as his dark evergreen eyes penetrated my copper ones. The chartreuse color in them glowing, devouring me into clear nature.“It's been so long, Emma.” He called again, tugging the right side of his lips into a smirk.I felt my insides tremble, goosebumps finding their way to my right hand that he had clasped to the wall.“I-I don't know what you're talking about.” I didn't break the stare, my gaze fighting with his.My heart was left in a beating mess as I silently wished he would just let go and forget this whole encounter. The best way to get out of this was to deny me.Should I have changed my identity before coming here? Why hadn't I checked the details of the application before applying? I'm slowly starting to regret ever signing up for thi
Emma. “You're gonna regret that.” His voice was dangerously low. The roughness was evident against his steel tone. His face held indescribable gravity, pulling me down to an endless depth. “I-I…” My body shook just as he was about to reach me with his large hands. Jax roughly strangled me in his grasp, raising me to my feet that barely touched the tiled floor. I choked, my voice straining. “Now I remember why you always seemed to piss me off.” He muttered into my face, his hot breath blowing across my skin. “P-please…” I coughed, my hands holding his grip with eyes pleading with another round of tears threatening to spill. His expression darkened as I awaited his next move. The buzzing of his ringing phone stopped his actions, making him scowl at me before he dug his free palm into the side pocket of his pants. “Hello?” He groaned angrily, pinning his eyes on me. There was silence, his face crinkling before he gritted his teeth and furrowed his thick brows. “Okay, I'm on my
Emma.The tall tan skinned gardener stared, awaiting my reply. He had a decent amount of muscle making him look fit with his no beard face and brown eyes staring straight at me. I was on the verge of running away, knowing I didn’t want to reveal myself in front of this stranger that knew nothing about me.Talon’s expression dropped, his brows scrunching up as he gaped at me.“Did someone do this?” He pointed, raising a brow up.“No!” I gasp-yelled, hands stretched out slightly with my heart racing from his hypothesis.He widened his eyes at my outburst. He definitely didn't buy it, now he knows someone really did this to me.“I-I mean… Yes! My roommate, Alice and I were just playing… Haha… I…uh just came back from Miss Dorota to…uh ask for the first aid kit because I hurt my neck…haha.” I figured, pouring lies upon lies, adding another lie on top of the other.“Oh the chestnut haired.” he said slowly nodding his head.“Yep!” The tension was getting worse as I tried to cover it with a
Jax.“Sir, please spare me. I promise this won't happen again!” The security Head knelt in front of my desk as he begged before me.I chuckled deeply, “Spare you say…”He nodded eagerly, hoping I would give him a second chance.“You let those dogs you call family into my company and now you're saying I should spare you???” I thundered harshly, my eyes glowing and my grip tightening.The security Head whimpered, lowering his head so he wouldn't meet my gaze.“I'm s-so-...”“Shut the fuck up, you dweep!” I slammed my fist on the desk, the gadgets and paper files bouncing slightly from the impact.I glared maliciously before making my sentence.“I want your pathetic family and sick self out of this building. Now!” I scowled, bringing out my phone to inform my secretary.“Yes sir?” Stacey, my secretary answered.“Fire everyone on the security team and organize an interview for new ones. If I find any funny business being done during the interview, get ready to find your sorry ass out of t
Emma.“He raped a maid that used to work here,” Alice said after she sat on her mattress. The uneasiness was prominent in her voice.“What? How???” I widened my eyes, shock printed on my face. The fact that he looked like an innocent guy with those brown eyes and a handsome face.“Look, I'm telling you this because I trust you and everything I'm about to say here shouldn't leave this door, Emma, promise me that first.” She stared straight into my eyes with a serious face. Alice joked all the time but this is the first time seeing her all solemn.“Yes yes! Absolutely.” I exclaimed, nodding profusely, wanting to hear the full gist from Alice.“Her name was Jane. She was mild and always so quiet, but what everybody liked about her was the fact that she was very respectful and obedient. She’d follow any orders you'll give her and soon some maids started using her for their own benefits. She was plain, innocent, the youngest…” She explained, fiddling with her fingers.“How old?” I asked, g
