Ilayda's POV:
It was six in the afternoon, house fully decorated with only small touches left here, and their music had already begun play and the first guests started arriving.
I was done and thanks to Antoine it looked amazing
"There you go simple, classy, and chic"
He had called it, and I couldn't help but find him right the hair didn't only suit my looks but also suited me.
Makeup was simple too but it looked flawless I couldn't be grateful enough to these people.
With few touchups, I only had to get inside the dress and get out of this room.
As time went by I was getting more and more nervous Nona along with Belle had tried to calm me down but they couldn't do much for me.
I started thinking about my parents, I wish they were here with me. My mom, I can imagine her being in tears for I was leaving her, yet at the same time happy because I found someone who cared about me deeply enough. My dad wouldIlayda's POV: I woke up this morning at 7 a.m., as every single morning I opened the curtains to get a view of the street. It is a beautiful morning here in New York no matter what the weather is I find it always beautiful or maybe I am just too in love with this city. After a long session of contemplating the scene that lay before me. I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and other things. I put on my outfit, and I head to the kitchen. Oh, I am telling you my story but I forgot to introduce myself, how rude. So anyway, my name is Ilayda, I'm a maid, I've been working as a housemaid for 3 years now and I'm 20 years old. I am working for The Elfonso family they are good people, weird but they treat me well, I guess? Nevertheless, I think it is all I need. I am working for Mr. and Mrs. Elfonso, they are rather a funny old couple but they're not too old though, and however, they act weird sometimes. There is also their daughter Maribel
Ilayda's POV:"Ilayda quickly clean the floor and the table, we're done eating" Mrs. Elfonso brought me out of my reverie while I was intensely staring at the elder son."Yes ma'am right away " while everyone was leaving the living room with a very noticeable mix of sadness, anger, and even surprise appearing on their faces, I hurried to clean the mess they left behind.I spent around an hour cleaning everything because everything was ruined mean while silence has taken over the house. Suddenly out of nowhere, I heard I voice addressing me."I will get out if mother asked for me tell her I will be spending the night out" I turned and it was him, I was so surprised I tried to speak but I could not everything about him is dazzling his presence he looks Good even his voice. The only thing I could have done was nodding, and like that, he left.Mrs. Elfonso came asking for her Son about half an hour after he left, other than that
Ilayda's POV:Tonight for the first time in a while, I dreamt about my parents, especially when we use to go to the farm, that memory always brought a smile to my face. Those were good times. However, it is ok now besides there is no need to recall the past because the more you remember the more it hearts.I started to get myself ready but then I remember what happened yesterday, what should I do? I did not know because I have never been in such a situation before, I think I will pretend as if nothing happened. Anyway, he was drunk and above that, he is the son of my employers so I cannot mess things up, I can afford more problems in my life.I headed to the kitchen and Nona was already there." Good morning Nona, feeling better today?" I kissed her on the cheek and went towards the fridge to get the food out." Good morning dear, yes I feel better, I guess sleeping more did well to me thank you" indeed she looked a bit better
"Oh" Really now Ilayda, oh, is all you could have come up with, I am so stupid."Well yes, I might explain later" he was looking straight into my eyes; it was as if I couldn't move the way he looked at me made me paralyzed. "But for now dear Ilayda I'm having some friends over and I want you to prepare some meals and everything else"I wonder why the temperature in the room was so high?Actually,I wonder what he was saying.The temperature is normal again, weird. Who keeps playing with the stuff like this?I looked at him and smiled."Excuse me sir I better head to work now" I pulled my chair away and I got up."Of course" he got up too and started heading towards the door before he stopped for a second "oh yes also can you order some pizza my friends love it" he then left the room.Oh, so I guess that's what he said, his friends are coming over, I wonder what kinds of friends he has.I ran to the living room to tidy
ILayda's POV:My eyes wined at what he said, to be fair I was shocked.I felt a sudden drop in temperature seriously this thing has to get fixed. Oh, it is just his hand grabbing mine.But wait, did he seriously called me cute? No, my head is playing tricks on me. Then I looked at him he was looking a little pissed. Did I do something?I looked up and his eyes were so fixed on me, so I dropped my eyes to the floor because I got so embarrassed."Jack, you got everything you need man? Because Ilayda has to go, " Christian was addressing jack but holding eye contact with me the whole time."Yes man, I'm good". Jack looked a little unconformable, but he ends up leaving which I hated because now I was alone with Christian and God knows I hate when things like this happen. Therefore, I tried to leave but the silly me forgot that he was still holding me by the arm, and instead of bei
Ilayda's POV :Today was a new day I tried to forget what happened yesterday and move on with my life because I don't need any extra drama in my life, that if I can call it a life. Since that awful night, I couldn't carry on with my life like nothing happened because everything I had was taken away from me and I couldn't do anything; the day my parents were taken away from me.At this moment in my life, I stand with nothing; no family, no friends, except Nona who is the closest thing to family and friends I have, I have no home, no love, I just work and breathe, sometimes death seems to hold much more mercy than this life that I'm leading. What can I possibly do with my existence; the answer remained unknown to me.I went to the kitchen to start working
Ilayda's POV:I was shockedI swear I did not see that one coming.He kissed me.He freaking kissed me. I do not know what to do right now.I pushed him hard because he was holding me so tightly."Stop, what are you doing? No!" the words coming out of my mouth expressed my refusal yet my body and my heart were totally on a different level, they were not refusing it actually they were welcoming the warmth I felt when I was with him, the safety and peace that washed over me when he grabbed me. However, I was not going to admit not even if they pull a gun on my head, because I know that this is wrong. F
Christians POV:I didn't know what to think, I was so shocked when I saw her standing at my door. She said she wanted to give me an answer I was so scared, I was sweating like hell, just hoping that she wouldn't refuse and she would actually give me a chance. I did not know what I would feel nor do if she says no.She looks nervous too, she was playing with her fingers I could sell that it wasn't easy for her either to tell me her decision,"I... came here to give you an answer you should know, that it's a little hard for me because I usually don't trust people that much I don't know if I trust you either but I think...I think that I'm willing to try." She said the last part with her eyes closed, god she is so cute, and then it hit me, what she said.I was shocked. Happy, but I am still shocked. I somehow thought that she would say no I was so scared. However, she said yes, I didn't know what to say so I let

"I'm going to be asking questions and you answer"I nod."So Ilayda what does it feel like to be about to marry the one and only Christan Elfonso?"The camera was again pointed at me."Well, I'm not sure how to answer when you put it like that.

Hey, calm down, everything is fine, you're safe now, you're alright, just calm down and take a deep breath"And I did.And for the first time in a while, I was feeling well. Opening my eyes I saw Chris holding me, Maribelle looking at me and Mr. Elfonso sitting next to me on one side and Nona holding my han

I tried to get up but I couldn't I was stuck in what seems like a chair, my hands were tied, fear started to take over me, I couldn't remember anything that happened after I opened the door house, I don't know where am I, I don't know who took me and I could only hope that it's not her.I started to freak out, but I knew that I had to keep myself calm in order to get out of here alive.Or maybe I'll die here.NO, I won't I'm going to fight Ihave a reason to live now.I heard a door being opened."
