"Be my daughter's maid." I blinked, trying to decipher his words. Was it code for something?
"I don't get it." I shook my head, confusion etched on my face.
Alexander crossed his legs, his gaze piercing mine. "What don't you get?" he asked, his tone firm but curious.
I took a deep breath, my nerves tensed. His stare was unsettling, making my heart race. I clutched the blanket, my eyes darting to my clothes. I was no longer wearing Alexander's suit jacket but a silk extremely comfortable nightgown.
My eyes widened as I looked to look at Alexander.
"Did you..." I trailed off, my voice barely audible.
Alexander's lips curled into a mocking smile. "What if I did?"
I could feel the heat rising up to my face. I didn't could be embarrassment, or anger or both, but all I knew was that I was wronged.
Alexander had seen me naked few hours ago, but that still didn't give him right to undress me.
My temper flared and I lost control of my mouth.
"You perverted..."
" It wasn't me". We said at the same time.
Alexander face visibly darkened as he growled, his eyes flashing in warning.
I paused my cussing and pursed my lips.
Did he just say it wasn't him? Then who?
My mind went back to the pretty doctor. Could it he the doctor? Amelia?
I glanced at Alexander for confirmation, but his expression was unreadable... Well not exactly unreadable, I could read on expression clearly... Anger.
He took a deep breath standing up and walking towards me, his movements fluid, and checked his watch. "You start work in two hours. I..."
"Work? Which work? " I interrupted.
What work? Coud it be that he wanted me to really be his sex slave...this bastard.
There was no way I would agree to this, even if it meant running away again.
Alexander glared at me, his tone really inpatient. "Did you not heat the part when I told you, you'll be my daughter's maid? Or are you deaf now?"
Oh... That work.
" Sorry, How much do I get paid?" I asked again this time with excitement. Since I've seen how big his house was, I should be expecting a huge amount id money as salary, right?
Alexander's expression turned incredulous. "You're not getting paid."
My eyes widened in surprise as I crossed my arms on my chest, my eyes locked on his. "Why not?"
He loved closee towards me, towering over me, his voice low and menacing. "Can you pay me back the million dollars I used to buy your freedom?"
My breathing increased for two reasons, one he was so close, too I knew I couldn't pay back that amount of money in ten years.
"You're going to be my daughter's nanny without complains until I decide the debt is cleared," he stated, his voice dripping with authority.
I nodded, my eyes fixed on his. He was too close, his breathing sending shivers down my spine.
The door burst open, and a little girl with two cute ponytails and a pink jumper appeared. "Daddy, Aunty Amelia said you were in...here." Her tone dropped when she saw me.
Alexander stepped back, his face softening as he gazed at his daughter. "She's your new nanny, her name's Mia."
Lilly's eyes narrowed, her voice laced with disdain. "I don't want a nanny! They all just want the same thing!"
Alexander crouched beside her, his voice gentle. "Trust me, honey, Mia's different."
Lilly's eyes flicked to me, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "How? Because she's not as pretty as the previous ones?"
I felt a pang in my chest, but Alexander's smirk only fueled my irritation.
"Maybe," he agreed, his eyes glinting with amusement.
I rolled my eyes, my smile forced. "I'll leave you both to talk."
As Alexander left, I turned to Lilly, my voice bright. "Hi, I'm Mia."
Lilly's eyes rolled. "I know, my dad just said so."
I forced a smile, my mind racing. This kid was annoying, but I needed to win her over.
"Ok, what's your name?" I asked, my tone cheerful.
"Lilly. But that would be ma'am Lilly to you," she said, her voice dripping with entitlement.
I bit back my retort, my smile strained. This little brat wanted me to call her ma'am? I'd rather have my tongue cut off!
"Look here, I don't know what you and my dad agreed, but I just want to tell you that he would never like you," Lilly said, her voice dripping with malice.
"Who said I want your father to like me?" I replied, my voice laced with sarcasm.
Lilly burst into laughter. "Of course you do, all of you do."
All of me? What does that mean?
" You better leave now". She whispered as if she had just given me the greatest advise in the world.
" I can't". I dropped the smile, my eyes locked on hers. This kid was indeed her father's daughter – spoiled, entitled, and unbearable.
Plus she wasn't buying my smiles anyways.
" Then..." Her cute voice dropped low "... I'm going to so much frustrate you in this house that you'll regret ever steeping foot here". She threatened.
I won't lie, I was taken aback.
Who is this child's mother?
She glares at me with so much disdain that I shifted uncomfortably on the bed trying to avoid her eyes.
Now I understood the reason Alexander added with no complains when he said I would be his child's nanny.
Because he knew his daughter was just like him both of them being proud and annoying. He was like the devil while she... A little fucking witch!
Lilly left few minutes after she threatened me and gave me a scare. As much as I hated to admit it, that girl was as scary as hellHow can someone be so cute, yet so vicious at the same goddamn timeI got up immediately, to look around. The place was beautiful, and huge. I had never even visited a place like this in my dreams not to talk of in real lifeI had less than two hours to get ready for the day. But for a person who was used to getting ready in under ten minutes, two hours felt like a whole lot of timeI got down from the bed, taking in the beauty of the room. Everything was so gorgeous and screaming expensive. I saw a white door by the corner of the room, and with me being me, I went there and opened iI gasped in amazement at what I saw. It was a fully furnished walk in closet. Everything was there, rating from the shoes to bags to the clothes... Even the underwear, everything was therAnd what surprised me the most was that, they were all my sizHow did Alexander know my s
After the 'act' with Lilly in her room, the girl listed a lot of ground rules. Some of which I was not able to catch because I was still shocked by the fact that the girl was a good actress. By the time she was done, we had taken over three hours and I was only able to scam three rules. ' Don't mess with my hair: You're not allowed to touch it no matter what Always be at my Beck and call: If I call you and you don't answer, we have a problem. And last one which I found very absurd,Don't fall for me dad! 'The first rule, was understandable. The girl had golden beautiful locks that I feared I would ruin if I touched it, but it would feel good to run my hand in it, but I was going to keep that one. The second rule, that was a typical spoilt brat move. Me, Mia have to always be at a little girl's beck and call. I felt my pride and self dignity disappear when she said that. I had to bit my lips to prevent myself from saying something that would make her tell her dad something terrib
Mia's POVHow dare they?What did they think I am to them? Huh, their fucking property?I am a freaking adult! They had no right to sell me like a used object in an auction house. My family I thought was just poor, but we had our dignity, yet they just sold me out?I knew they had always loved my older sister more than me. She was the obedient one, and the nice one and also the most pretty. She was the breadwinner of the family while I was just their second child. "Dargh!!" I screamed loudly. Using my hands to cover my ears. " Is that my phone?" Alice asked pointing at the broken phone that I threw on the floor. "Er...I want to be alone right now". I murmured rather angrily as I took my frustration elsewhere. "Mia, you're buying me a new phone!" I heard Alice yell after me and I snorted. Where the hell was I going to get money for a new phone? I let my legs lead me back into the house and inside Lilly's room. Why did it lead me here? Probably because it was the only place in t
" What about my Lilly?" Alexander asked dropping the papers in his hands, giving me his full attention. The boldness I had gathered to knock on the door suddenly disappeared as he stared at me." Well... Er..." I stammered. " If you don't have anything reasonable to say, leave". Alexander resumed his gaze at the large paperwork in front of me. How should I begin?Should I... I glanced up at Alexander who was behaving like I was no longer in his study. I was already here, let's just get this done and over with. " Do you know what's going on with her?" I asked after a few moments. Alexander hands scribbling something on a paper froze, then he looked up at me. " What do you mean? " " Lilly came back home today in tears. Well she wasn't exactly in crying, but I could tell she had cried. Her eyes were red and puffy and her voice hoarse. This isn't the first time this has happened, I noticed it for a few days now. "Now Alexander's attention was fully on me. He had dropped the pen in
I stared at Lilly's door for minutes without moving. Today was a Saturday, and would be the best time for me to get to know Mia like Alexander suggested. But... What the hell am I going to say to the girl? Alexander was out... Went to work on a Saturday, a sign of a typical work addict, so Lilly was in her room all by herself. Ok, I'm doing this. I stretched my hands and opened the door ever so slightly. Lilly was seated on the floor, concentrating on something so intensely. " What are you doing?" I peeped into Lilly's room from the slightly ajar door. The little witch looked up at me from her position, before she looked away. " What are you doing here? I didn't call for you"Yeah you didn't. Alright Mia, you're already here, so let's do this. I opened the door completely and walked into the room. " I just thought, you know... to check up on you, see how you're doing ". Mia shrugged her shoulders before continuing what she was doing. Walking closer to her, I looked down at
Third person POV. It's been weeks since Lilly and Mia became friends. Lilly began warming up to her slowly, and Mia began liking the little girl's company. The girl friendship with her came with a lot of benefits, one of them being that Mia no longer lacked food. No matter the hate the other servants in the house feel for her, they couldn't do anything, especially when Lilly backed her up. Alexander on the other hand, was always at work. He was yet to see the new friendship formed my his daughter and Lilly... But someone else had already noticed. " So... You and the 'little witch' are on good terms now?" Alice asked air coating the little witch. She had noticed that Mia no longer complained about her as often as she normally did. " Well... " Mia shrugged. The girl was good company, and could be really fun to be with, but there was no way she's admitting liking her. It would hurt her pride way too much. " We just came to an even ground". Alice raised her brow at Mia. She didn'
Mia stared at Victoria refusing to back down, Alice in the other hand had begun saying her prayers. She knew the kind of person Victoria was, it would be a miracle if both of them didn't get sacked today. " Not only do you dare to stop me from correcting my staff, you also talked back at me. Who in the hell do you think you are?" Victoria yelled, her face crunched in anger and her chest moving up and down quickly. She was shocked at the audacity of the new maid. No one, not even her brother had ever talked to her this way before in her life!" Who I am doesn't matter. Just because we work for your brother doesn't mean you can speak to us or even hit us any how you please". Mia said calmly, secretly enjoying how riled up Victoria was getting. Alice on the other hand was having a heart attack. Mia was making things worse for them, why was she not seeing it. " What is going on here?" Lilly walked in on the situation, her footsteps slowed down when she saw her aunt. " Aunt Victoria..
Mia's POVI left the room after putting Lilly to bed her for afternoon nap. This was the most serious I've seen Lilly ever since we became friends. Everyone was so scared of this Victoria, when all she needs is a good beating... And I could do it for her. She just sounded like a spoilt brat who had gotten everything she ever wanted in her life in her life making her do rude to everyone else. Damn that girl, she's making my head hurt. I felt a tapping on my shoulders, more like a shaking. I immediately looked up to see Alice who was standing above me worriedly. " Mia!" She yelled. She was way too loud. "What, what?" I murmured cleaning my ears which I suspect would've been damaged with how loud Alice yelled in it. " What on earth are you thinking about? I've been calling your name for about five minutes now!" Five minutes?Could Victoria matter really have taken me that far?" I was just... Er..." I fumbled trying to find an excuse. If I told Alice that I was starting to get
