“Wiping sweat is not a task I cannot do. Gabby said. I’ll relieve you for a while, besides who best to stay by his side than his dotting wife?”

“It is not a task for the noble,” Catherine replied stubbornly to trying not to obey her lady’s request.

Gabby took a peak at Mills to make sure he was sound asleep because if this maid refused her one more time, she would go bat shit crazy on her.

“Up you go Catherine. I shan’t ask you again.”

Noticing the threat in Gabby’s voice, Catherine got off her seat and strode angrily out of the room.

Gabby walked closer to the bed as though in a trance, her eyes fixed on Mill's chest, the shimmer of his skin, and the rise and fall of his body as he took painful breaths in respect of the bullet wound on his upper arm.

She had come here to inspect his body, to determine if he would live or die, and to decide how fast to initiate her escape.

He looked fine, she had never seen a dying man before, but Gabby guessed a dying person wouldn’t look so plump

Gabby looked at herself in the mirror and gasped.Olivia squealed with joy. “Mr. Mills should see you in this, you look fabulous she continued, and that bosom would make any man turn and fawn over you.” Olivia’s eyes were guilty of obvious admiration for her madam.

    Gabby entered the sun-lighted room after a few seconds of hesitation from Rolland. He didn’t trust her with him, but what could he do? She was his wife after all.Mill's head was propped up on his pillow as he sat with his back to the headboard of the bed. He seemed to be snoring but thank goodness this time he had a thin shirt on.Gabby was relieved that he was asleep. She crept to the window to reduce the lightening using the window curtains as Mills was sleeping and had no use for it. When she was done, she scanned the room area with her eyes while still standing. This room belonged to Mill's father, the man was notoriously known to have gotten his wealth illegally, she hadn’t been able to come around knowing what the family business was all about, but she didn’t care because in three days she was going to be out of here anyway.Gabby’s eye caught a standing mirror opposite where she stood so she decided to admire her reflection completely ignoring Mills who was still sound asleep

    “ you must tell me all that he said,” Olivia cried. “Did his eyes light up when he beheld you?” Oh speak my lady or I shall burst open with suspense.“He was pleased.” “He said lilac was my color and that I should wear it more.”“Must he be a bore? Saying few words is just like him, but I would bet my treasures if I had any that he meant to say more.” Olivia smiled.“Don’t you think so too?”“I think so too, gabby responded, he must have wanted to say more.” Olivia was getting accustomed to lies, only her skin wasn’t crimson when she lied to Olivia. “Olivia?” Gabby called.“Yes, my lady.”“Wonder what it means to sit on someone for them to spill their seed?” Gabby asked.“Hmm, I’ve never heard such a parable, I have no idea what it means.” “Where did you catch it?”“Oh never mind, it’s not important, must have picked it up from one of the maids.”“If you want, I can ask Stella for you. Someone might know what it means if you desire.”“Please don’t, I don’t care, ‘tis a fleeting curi

    What did you say? Mills asked.My lord, Stella trembled, your wife is nowhere to be found. Mills stood up from his bed after hearing this news. His demeanor showed confusion.It’s a mansion, Stella, she might have wandered off. Ask the maids and ladies to search for her. Mills commanded.Even though Stella had asked all the maids and a few guards to search all the nook and cranny of the house before coming to mills, she scurried out of the room in other not to annoy Mills by saying she already had.Mills put on a shirt and marched out of his bedroom irritated at the possible childishness of his wife.He got to the main living room and sat down, thinking of all he would say to put her in her place when they found herA few hours later after he had become restless and there was no news as to his wife’s whereabouts and it was becoming obvious that Gabby was not in this large mansion, Mills himself joined in the search.It’s a large house, he kept thinking, she must be somewhere.

    The household spent the rest of the day ransacking the mansion. By the end of it, it was obvious the good wife of their beloved boss was definitely missing.They all went to bed on an empty stomach with more work to be done the following day and Olivia was no longer a member of the house.Mills refrained from making any conclusions, he was brewing with anger, if he made any rash decision now, it would be detrimental so he too decided to sleep on it even though what he did all night was pace around and wonder where his little woman had run off to. He knew she was tough, and very stubborn too, but she was far from her parent's home, the way back to them might be dangerous for her without an escort. He believed that if she was gone, then it had to be that she was on her way back to her parent's house.Mills sighed, seemingly satisfied with his speculations, he decided he would send Rolland and another guard to his little woman's parents' house before dawn.……..Back in Billoway, everythi

    “How could she do this to me?” Olivia cried.“How did I manage to get fooled?” ““She lied to me, to my face.” “I thought I was her friend Stella, I can not imagine it, wake me up, please wake me up for I must be in a dreadful nightmare, Olivia lamented, feeling sad but above all feeling abandoned.” “Oh child, it is all too real, are you sure you truly have no idea about her whereabouts?” Stella asked.“Noo, for Chris's sake Noo, I do not.” “I am fond of her, I am, and now that I think of it, if the good lady had proposed for me to run away with her, I would have refused and rebuked her, although if she had persisted and I ran out of luck in changing her mind, then I would have run away with her,” Olivia explained.“Hush and say no more, the walls of this mansion sure have human ears, what if someone hears you and tells the boss?” Stella reprimanded.“What does it matter? I have been fired remember?”“I will beg on your behalf to the boss, he should at least let you work in one of

    It's Andrew, open up”, Andrew whispered from behind the door. Gabby walked over to the door smoothly and opened it swiftly. What's going on?” she asked wide-eyed at him.Andrew was fidgeting and unstable, he looked scared.“I have to get you out of here, if he finds you here, you're as good as dead. Come on,” a panicking Andrew said, trying to keep a bold demeanor.He grabbed her on her wrist and just as they were about to run down the stairs, the fast racing footsteps coming towards them on the stairs stopped them in their tracks. There was no way to bypass them. It was just a long hallway that led directly to the stairs.“Go, go, go back inside, hide but don't lock the door,” he said, shoving her back into the room.Gabby frantically removed everything in the room that may be a giveaway that she was in the room into the wardrobe before thinking of where to hide. She could hear arguments going on in the hallway and the voice of a crying girl. She heard the door next to hers open and

    It was late by the time Walter decided he had soothed his inner child enough and was ready to stop torturing everyone and go back to the mansion.Gabby was a mess, she was famished, tired, dirty, and hungry but she had just had the very best day of her entire life. On their way back to the mansion, she walked closer to Walter. As a person who could count the number of times she had smiled in her life, Walter had made her not just smile but laugh till her ribs hurt. Even now while they walked home with nothing but their torch to light the narrow way back to the mansion, he was still making dry jokes in the hopes of getting a chuckle or giggle out of her.“You have been so silent Andrew, are my jokes that dry? Why can't you be like the good lady Gabby over here and fake a smile or two, doctors say it is good for your health. Sometimes I think you should pay me for bringing some kind of color into your life,” Walter said to Andrew who held the torch ahead of Gabby while he followed car

    “When are we going to get there? Is it still a long way?”Gabby asked in a Walter who was matching effortlessly in front of her.“If you want, I can carry you on my shoulder or I’ll make Andrew do it,” Walter stopped in his tracks and turned to Gabby to tease her with a smile.“No thank you, I can walk very well on my own,” Gabby replied squinting her eyebrow at Walter and folding her arms across her bosom as a barrier to deter Walter from making do with his threat.“Hmm, I see you don’t like to be carried, but don’t ever say I didn’t do anything for you.” He said before he turned around and resumed on his way with Gabby behind him and Andrew following behind Gabby. They walked through a hilly path covered by tall green trees and bushes, birds could be heard chirping away on each of their sides, and the sun was beginning to sneak its way out of the sky but even Andrew began to grumble despite the serenity of their surroundings.“Ahh, look, we are here! Walter exclaimed, pointing down

    You must be starving,” Walter said as he noticed the way Gabby was downing the food.Gabby was embarrassed by his comment, thinking she must have been eating ravenously because that was how she normally ate until the whole etiquette thing with Mr Shepherd's maids started.“Am sorry, was I chewing loudly?”She asked, wiping her mouth with a tissue paper.It was just the both of them on the dining, Andrew was eating on one of the large chairs in the sitting room.“I mean, it’s not ladylike to chew like that, I get that you might be hungry so it okay,” Walter said chewing his food and smiling.Gabby became nervous and conscious of how she ate the remaining food and wondered why these rich men always wanted everything to be so controlled.“Am done eating, I feel heavy-eyed and would like to go to bed,” Gabby announced after she was done with her food.“So soon? Walter protested. “Come on stay a little while longer, I promise not to bore you at all, there’s this scary movie I like to watch

She was seated at the passenger’s seat with Walter while Android was at the steering driving like crazy.They have been driving for more than an hour now and there was no suspicious car behind them, soon gabby’s worry began to subside.“Thank you for helping,” she said to Walter. “It’s no problem at-all, I am very delighted to help.

    “I don’t think they know anything, boss,” Lukas said to Mills as they stood outside the carbon where Marcus had been under torture for two days it was late in the day. “Do I have your permission to silence him?”Lukas asked.“It would be my pleasure, but don’t kill him, he is worth nothing, if we kill him, little woman may never forgive me.” We will let them go, but have men monitor their every move and report any suspicious activities,” Mills added.“Yes sir,” Lukas replied.“And the man who was seen talking with her at the bar, is there any trace of him?”Mills queried.“Not yet boss, but I have my men looking into it, so far he is a person of importance, we have eyewitnesses saying they saw a man and a redhead drive off right before the rampage we carried out at the bar, it has to be him,” Lukas replied.“Any names yet?”“Just Walter sir, nothing else, but my men are in it.”“Be done with whatever you have going on here as soon as possible, it’s obvious the couple are clueless, litt

Mills asked, then I must be a saint.” “Do you think they know about my wife?”“I have no idea boss, but when we take her, I and my men will do the necessary investigation .”“Good, make sure there are no loopholes,” Mills replied, sipping his ale, it tasted good surprisingly, no wonder the men here drank it to stupor.He scanned the area, the man talking to his wife had gone back to his seat, the store was crowded and this made it possible for mills to blend in without notice. The customers did not seem to be reducing, instead, more and more haggard men and women swam into the bar and Mills began to get impatient. Just then, gabby moved from behind the counte
