CLARA'S POV" Phew, that was close Clara. Innocent people almost died because of you" I soliloquised, hitting my chest gently while I walked slowly down the stairs. The fact that I got to know that Leo was my boss, was the greatest shock of my life. It kept on bothering me until I was about to open the kitchen door, then I remembered the people who I had sent to the torture room, because of my mistake. I became worried about what they were going to think of me, they would definitely be angry with me. I turned the door knob slowly in order to check if they were in the kitchen but the kitchen was deserted Instead. I stepped into the kitchen with my left foot, followed by right then I shut the door behind me. I looked round just to be sure that no one was in the kitchen, after I was convinced that I was the only living thing in the kitchen, I walked quickly to the second door that lead to the maids quarters. I needed to have a quick bath and a change of cloth. I opened the door a
LEO'S POVThe morning sun shone through the window into my room, because the curtain was wide open. The sun was shining directly on my face, forcing me to wake up even before my alarm rang. I had set my alarm to wake me up by 7 o'clock and now I am partly awake, and the time was just past six. I tried to get up from my bed but my eyes were bleary, so I sat back on my bed for some minute, allowing the sun to shine on me. I walked to the window to close the curtain after I was fully awake, even while I walk I could feel pains all over my body. I search my desk looking for my phone, but I couldn't find it." Where could this damn phone be? " I said as I walked back to my bed to search for it, I hate it when I looked for my things. I raised my pillow and found it on top of Clara's diary. I took it and called my personal bodyguard number." Hello boss" He said with a firm voice, but I couldn't tell he was just waking up from sleep I probably woke him up. " I need some massage now " I sa
CLARA'S POV" Geez, what was that for?" I said inaudibly standing up from bed and wiping my wet face at the same time. Someone poured water on me while I was still sleeping, my bed was soaked and water was dripping from my body. I was cold as the morning breeze blew strongly entering every part of my body. " This must be Renata's hand work" I said in anger, I couldn't think of anyone else except her because, we were the only one that stays in the room. I looked at the clock, the time was twenty six minutes to four. "why would she wake me up so early in such manner" I thought, I was still drying my hair, when I saw her coming out from the bathroom, our eyes met with each other, she rolled her's before looking away. Unlike before when she would always greet me and we would talk while we prepared. " I want you downstairs before 4 o'clock, " She said, already dressed up while I was just removing my cloth, by the time I was heading to the bathroom, she was already leaving the room.
I walked closer to them slowly, standing beside a chair and waiting for their next move, Renata instructed the other maids to start leaving and they obeyed immediately. I looked at her while she was passing instructions to other maids, I wondered how she became head within a blink of eye. Few days ago we both took instructions from the chief-maid, but now she gives instructions I have to obey." You, carry that tray on the table and follow me" She said pointing at the tray, before turning to leave. I went over to the table and took the tray, I looked at the items in it, they were the ointment and other items for the massage. I walked towards the door, carrying the tray with my two hand. Renata had just opened the door and had turned back to probably check if I was coming, she closed the door even when she saw I was only about five feet away from her. I had to drop the tray on the floor before opening the door, and also did the same thing before I could close the door. I climbed
LEO'S POVAfter I instructed her to stop, she left my room immediately to God knows where, although her colleagues were still in my room finishing up and packing some things. I couldn't help but laugh inwardly about the fact that she said, she was going to school, "Does she even know what day it is?" I thought. I got up from bed and went to the bathroom to have my bath leaving the maids in my room to continue with their. I knew when they left my room, because I heard when the the door was closed. I came out from the bathroom feeling so refreshened, I was heading to my wardrobe when I saw a maid sweeping, I wondered how she got into my room and who she was as I couldn't even see her face. I was about to draw her attention when I noticed I only had my towel on, I quickly ran back into the bathroom and put on my boxers. I came out from the bathroom and question the maid, I asked her what she was doing here but she didn't give me any response, neither did she even turn to look at me
CLARA 'S POVI sat on the floor soaked with the dirty water I was using to mop Leo's room, I could even taste the soapy water in my mouth. I ran to bathroom and turned on the tap, I used my hand to cup some water putting it in my mouth and rinsed it thoroughly. I took a glance of myself on the mirror, I was looking so disorganized with my hair scattered, my cloth was soak and dirty, my eyes had turned red because I had been crying. I left the bathroom and went back to his room, I picked up the mop and the bucket. While I was going back to his bathroom to fetch another water, I noticed that the bucket had broken by the side and I couldn't use it. I threw the bucket on the floor out of anger and frustration breaking it the more. My challenge now was how to get another bucket, I would definitely be mocked at if I go downstairs in this miserable state I was in. It would give Renata the impression that her plan to frustrate me was working perfectly, the true is, it is actually work
LEO'S POVImmediately she left my room, my mind flashed back to the woman I had see her with earlier. I couldn't stay in my office so I decided to come back to my room, I was shocked in the state I met it. It was so irritating and I couldn't even step in, I heard noise coming from kitchen and it was getting louder now. I was sure I also heard Clara's voice, It seemed like Clara was begging someone or trying to explain to someone, and the person refused to listen, then I went to check what was going on. The woman was pushing Clara like she was an animal or a slave. " Oh yeah, she is a maid but it is still different from being a slave" I thought when I realized what I had just said, I kept on staring at the door waiting for Clara to come back. " Why are you eagered for her to come back Leo? The girl hates you, she even called you an annoying beast. Of course no one likes me anyways " I said aloud talking to myself as I placed my right hands on my lips massaged it softly. She was
CLARA'S POV"Sir, I think I would go to my room to freshen up " I told Leo while we were still on the staircase, heading to his room. I tried to free my hand again but he was hold my wrist tightly and I wasn't strong enough to force it out. Leo looked at me for some seconds without replying, by now I wasn't hearing ma'am Lauretta screams. " Sir do you mind letting go of my hand? " I asked him. " Why don't you freshen up in my room? "He said and was about to continue walking but I didn't move which stopped him from walking any further. In as much as I would love to have a nice shower in Leo's bathroom, I couldn't possibly do it because of fear. " Come on, let's go" Leo said again but I still refused. When he saw there was nothing he could do to persuade me to go with him, he left ny hand alone, I immediately used my second had to massage my wrist. "I thought you were going to come, I would have killed you. Why do I need to know if you want to freshen up or not ugh? You should com
