He questioned in a hoarse tone before walking out.*********NAT POVThe moment I got to my room, it became really difficult to sleep, I rolled on my bed tiredly, nothing around made sense to me apart from the strange thought of Clara and Ashely that flooded my mind. I tried to shove t away and think of something else, bug the more I did the more the thought kept tormenting me. I began to search my mind to see if there was something I was getting wrong. heaved in a deep breath, my heart was seriously throbbing and my head aching "what could be the issue?" I questioned still in my sea of thought. I couldn't take the torment anymore, it had gotten out of hands, so I jerked up from my bed strolled to my personal library picked up a few book to read. I slowly opened the pages and all I saw written in the line was Ashley face. and it was at that point, I knew something was wrong.I immediately decided to go up check up on Ashely, got myself ready and walked out of the room. The whole
"Ashley!" I heard a familiar voice beckon my name. I turned around to see Esther standing at my back with her hands on her waist and a scroll on her face. "what are you doing?" she questioned and walked further to where I was, taking the mob stick from its hands with smile In her face. "this is not your job" you give that to me and go prepare yourself for breakfast" she spoke taping my on the back.as much as that really sounded nice, I new better than to go. "I am fine, don't worry about me. in few hours I would be done and go for breakfast" I responded in a low but convincing tone.I had earlier decided not to tell her what I did, and just act as though I was cool cleaning the whole house. but with her persistence, I had to just spill everything out to him at once."I can't leave this work for breakfast" I responded after a long time of trying to explain myself to her."No.... you shouldn't be here for any reason" she responded. "I would let the boss know that you are refusing t
"Hoo, I see! How did you go out in the first place". with the sound of her voice as her standing position I could tell that she wasn't leaving me soon. and I didn't want that. I had to just bring myself down to answer all her questions maybe she might be of help, but at the same time I strongly doubt. "Okay, since you have decided to build your house in my problem I would tell you just everything you need to know but on the condition that you let me be immediate, I tell you what you want to here" I spoke in a loud and gravely tone."Why did it take you so long to be wise?" she questioned. "What!!" I was about to respond to what she said but then halted the moment she started talking. "Deal! So how did you fucking leave the house?" she questioned. I narrated everything that had happened from coming down to find something to eat to even getting lost inside the room in the house. I had to just let her know everything so I could hear her responses and know if it was something I did t
I placed the mob I had in my hands to the ground and followed her immediately. "Only the living can work" I whispered within. I walked gradually toward the kitchen to meet Esther. the moment I got to the last floor, I meet the piercing eyes of Nat staring daggers at me. "Hi Nat" I spoke out in a low and timid voice. "Good morning Mrs. Ashley. If I may ask, what are you doing here?" he questioned taking slow and scary steps towards me. I gasped out in fright, and wore a smile on my face to look frightened of him.I took two steps back a little bit and stood up to him " I mean, you and I know that nobody works without food right?" I questioned peering at him "Of course I know so. So tell me, what did the princess come to this place to do?"the more he spoke the more he got close to me,I could tell that he was intentionally doing it just to me frightened but I wasn't going bro do that. I soon stopped and waited for him to get as lie as he thinks he can get. " You should head back
"I would only stop talking about it when you treat me like a human, like someone who has a heart, who feels and also get emotional. But until that happens, let it be known to you that I would not read until you know my parent is innocent." I bellowed out with tears rolling down my eyes. He walked passed me and entered his room. I turned and watched him as he walked angrily back to his room. This is my new strategy to get whatever I want to get from him. The first time we had a conversation like this, he walked out angrily, and Today again it has repeated itself. I let out a wide smile, before walking back to the kitchen, I am going to get back to clean the house but for now, I would just take care of my belly. "I see you have gotten a means to get whatever you want from the master?" Esther spoke in a calm voice the moment I walked into the kitchen. "You would need to be careful too, so it doesn't like you at e back. Hurry up and eat so you could go back to your work, the master m
I rushed to the last floor quickly to clean the place off and get back to my room."Finally!" I whispered when it was left with the last room. The moment I started, not walking out of his room, with a frown on his face, he looked at me disgustedly and walked upstairs. My gaze followed him gradually as he walked. "Whatever he was going to do there has to be some really important thing". Since I got to the house, I can boldly count the number of times he had gone up. The moment he left, I faced what I had to do to finish fast before he comes back. While still thinking of ways to be creative in staying in the hound and avoiding any form of trouble.I suddenly felt a wet substance drop on my body, it wasn't much so I waved the feeling and kept on with what I was doing. Humming to the song I and Esther sang the day before as my mind traveled far. The feeling came again, this time more intense than it did before. I gradually tilted my head up to see where the water substance was com
I walked towards him fiercely and panted for a little while. "What exactly would he have in his mind," I questioned at his reaction.He didn't smile, or even move backward to show a little sign of fear or something related to that. "I raised my hands gradually while still peering into his eyes, wrapped my hands around his dress, and made sure all the paint I had on my body was transferred to him "How do you feel?" I questioned when the moment I do what I had in my mind to do. He looked at me and still didn't show any expression. I became worried and at the same time scared of what might be going through his mind. "Are you just going to stand there and watch me without doing anything?" I propped.At this point, my heart was beating, while my mind booming with differing thoughts. His looks and expressions were making things worst for me, he wants to say anything and didn't even look as though angry. I got tired of looking into his eyes and just turned my back on him. Now the who
The day was bright and new, I was super excited about how it's started. The first few hours of my day, is one to always look back to, seeing the confused yet surprised look On Ashley's face made me grow even more excited than I had imagined I would be. Starting the day in a good note, would definitely run through the rest of the day and probably also end in a good note.I have quite a couple of tasks to do at the office, and that is the only reason why I would have to leave the house, if not I would be more happy to watch Ashely struggle to clean the house with tears flowing from her eyes. "Ashley!" I murmured beneath my breath the moment it dawned on me that she was currently cleaning the house. I walked gradually towards where she was to inspect her, and probably make more trouble. But to my greatest surprise I meet Esther there too "What!?" I bellowed in surprise " Was she trying to help her out or something? Esther would definitely know better than that " I concluded.I staye
