Chapter One

Elisabeth.

I am very afraid of making my bosses very angry, especially the brothers Christopher and Lorenzo, because they are not very tolerant of noise when they are concentrating on their work. If anyone makes any sound, something terrible will happen to that person. I have no idea what it is, but I do my best to stay in line, and I don't intend to find out. Seems like they work on some illegal stuff, I'm not crazy about asking about that, so I'd rather keep to myself.

I've been working at the mansion for five months, I was very happy to be immediately hired by them, as I lived in the orphanage and had no work experience, but I really feel grateful to them for giving me this great opportunity. But there is something that I find very strange. There are other maids in the house and I'm the only person allowed into their rooms to clean, they don't have any other maids but me, that's bizarre. Besides being very tiring for me, I go up and down the stairs all the time.

The other maids at the mansion hate me for thinking I'm their favorite, for free access to the rooms and consequently touching their belongings. However, there is another order that confuses me. No man in the house can approach or speak to me. Until now I'm trying to understand why. I often ask myself this question, but unfortunately, I don't have the answer to it.

07:50'' Mr. Thompson's Mansion''New York''USA.

“Elisabeth! What are you doing? Go do your duty! '' I'm startled by Dona Vânia's scream.

Excuse me ma'am, I'm on my way. I speak quietly and bow my head in respect to her, walking towards Sir Thomas's room.

Ah, I almost forgot the main rule of this house: never, ever look into the faces of the manor's owners if you want to stay alive. Dona Vânia said that, once, there was a maid in the house who died when looking at the face of one of the bosses. I don't want to die, so I try my best not to make them mad.

I enter Mr Thomas's room and go towards his bed to make it. I take off the sheets and pillows, place them on the small sofa in the room, hit the bed with the same sheet and cover the mattress, leaving it well organized as I always do. I take the roll''up sheets and fold them on the bed and then put the pillows back.

'' Ready. '' Short smile.

I go to the bathroom to get the dirty clothes out of the hamper to wash, this up and down routine is so exhausting that sometimes I want to talk to them about getting hard on me, but they are scary and I don't want to die.

As I pass through the kitchen '' which gives access to the service area '' I hear some rumbles.

“Look, girls, if it isn't the bosses' favorite. Victoria says to tease me, as she always does.

She is a very beautiful young woman, she is tall, has a curvy body, her hair is red and her eyes are green. Very beautiful, but it's a fucking annoying snake, it keeps on my back, along with the other maids.

'' I'ts about to start. '' Sigh.

“I believe she keeps giving that ugly pussy to the bosses in return…” I don't even let her finish.

“Look here, Valeria, first of all, I'm not like you guys who want to sleep with the bosses to become mistress of the house. Second, I am still a virgin and intend to lose my virginity to someone I love. So stop spouting your venom on me because I'm not in the mood for snakes on my foot. Now, excuse me.

I leave them talking to themselves and walk to the service area. I take Mr. Thomas's dirty clothes and put them piece by piece into the machine. Then I press the button to fill the machine and add three bars of soap, close the lid and leave the service area. The good thing about the washing machine is that, while filling it, it does everything else by itself, I don't even have to wait.

I leave the kitchen without looking at them and return to Thomas's room to finish the rest. Later, I go into Boss Alex's room, feeling satisfied, because his room is one of the most organized in the house. My only job is just taking the dirty clothes out of the hamper and washing them.

Today the bosses left the mansion very early, it seems that they had to solve something very important.

“Elisabeth, I've been calling you for two minutes. “Fucking hell, what a fucking scare.

Quickly, I look down at the floor.

“I''I beg your pardon, Mr. Christopher, I was very distracted. '' I speak, looking at her very expensive shoes.

“I noticed, but you don't have to worry about it. I wonder if you saw any black folders in Thomas's room. It saw?

'' No sir. I've just cleaned Mr Thomas's room and I didn't see any folders, I'm sorry. I say, still looking down at her shoes.

'' All good. '' I feel your hand caress my hair.

“If you find the black folder, call one of us. '' Speak softly.

'' Yes sir. He takes his hand out of my hair and walks away, I just hear his footsteps walking away from me, letting out a sigh of relief at that.

I place my hand on my chest as I hear my heart beating fast.

That was close.
