"It's true, they really want to disgrace me tomorrow" Lisa muttered to herself hurtfully.She never wanted to believe Mrs Sarah's words but she wasn't lying to her. They were really planning something so horrible for her.Well, not on her watch!!.Wiping her teary eyes, she took deep breaths and ran past the room as fast as could. She didn't halt after running past. She continued to run till she reached the east side of the mansion. She got there quickly but her footsteps had slowed down. The Halls of the East wing were dark with cobwebs blocking her face. She had a hand full of cobwebs in her hair by the time she got to the stairs where Mrs Sarah said she would be waiting."You made it, am glad," Mrs Sarah said. She had a torch light in her hand which she used to point around, ensuring no one followed them."I had to. You were right Mrs Sarah. Alex really wants to have his way with me tonight and have it published in the news tomorrow" Lisa said, sniffing her nose.Mrs Sarah looked
The passage was quiet as Annabelle led the way out with the Torchlight in her hand. Lisa followed right behind her, trying to avoid cobwebs from getting in her way."How long before we reach the exit?" Lisa asked impatiently."Not too long ma'am. But the passage is really long. However, I believe we have already covered quite some distance". Annabelle replied respectfully adding a little bow.Lisa smiled at her reaction. "You don't have to do that. I am no longer Alex's wife" Lisa said, and Annabelle stopped sharply."You may no longer be Young Master's wife but you are still older than I am. And for that, I have to be respectful" replied Annabelle in a calm but low voice. She turned back and continued walking.Lisa couldn't help but smile even more. She definitely hasn't met a maid as respectful as her. It shows how well-trained she was."My mom always taught me to respect my senior. Respect is reciprocal and so I would love for my juniors to respect me too" Annabelle added.Lisa smi
"Good morning old lady. We are looking for Miss Lisa. She escaped from Young Master yesterday night" Lisa froze on hearing the words from the person. They had already found her. So soon? It's barely a day since she escaped. How did they locate her so quickly?Panic flooded Lisa as she got up immediately."Miss, they are here. They found you... You have to leave" Annabelle panicked too.Lisa turned to face her, fear clearly written on her face. "What do I do?" She asked with a shaky voice."This house has only one exit. You'll have to escape through the window" Annabelle replied worriedly.Lisa's gaze went to the window. Luckily there's was no protector covering the window yet, it still a bit small for her to pass through."I won't fit through that" Lisa concluded immediately and began pacing to and fro biting her fingers. Annabelle went to a drawer in the room and got a bottle before walking back to Lisa. She handed Lisa the bottle who gave her a 'what-is-this?' look."It's olive oil
"Never lay your hand on a woman, you coward!!" The feminine voice said harshly. Everyone stood shocked at the woman who had dared to hit Lucas in such a manner. Lisa turned to look at her savior.Her eyes met a young girl of her age with her hand akimbo. Her short blonde hair could be seen under the face cap which hid her eyes partially. She was dressed in a baggy shirt and jeans giving her a tomboyish look. All Lisa could see was her naturally pink lips which were set in a thin line. Lisa didn't have enough time to dwell on the appearance of her savior when she heard Lucas order,"What are you doing nincompoops? Get her!! " He ordered pointing at Lisa while he used his other hand to wipe his bloody lips.The guards were about to attack and grab Lisa when the female stepped in blocking Lisa's view. "If you want her, then you will have to go through me first" she growled menacingly in a low voice. The guards halted, looking at Lucas with a skeptical look.Even though they couldn't see
"Oh please stop thanking me. It's a win-win. At least I made a new friend today" Amelia said and smiled widely." Yes you did" Lisa responded with a smile. "If I may ask, why were those men after you?" Amelia squinted her eyes in curiosity.Lisa sighed remembering her predicament. "Well.. it all started three months ago when my sister died and-... " She began explaining everything that has happened to her.While she was narrating, Amelia kept on gasping and her eyes widened at intervals in shock. Lisa's eyes glistened with tears as she recalled everything."....and that is how I ended up in the market where you found me" Lisa concluded while wiping her tears.Amelia felt sorry for everything Lisa went through. She moved in closer to Lisa and hugged her."It's Okay to cry, Lisa. You have been through a lot" she said sadly and that was all Lisa needed as she cried her eyeballs out.Amelia patted her back not saying a word till she calmed down. "Everyone has their own story to tell. Am
"Nooo!!!" Amelia could clearly visualize that awful night. It was a rainy day and she was only 17 years and trying to escape from her boss when she ran into three men who used her as they pleased. It was a case of jumping from frying pan to fire. Her boss too has equally tried to sleep with her when she found her escape route.That terrible night was a matter of survival of the fittest. Fighting her boss wasn't an easy task. She had resulted in breaking multiple of bottles on his head that night. And when she escaped, she could clearly remember shards of the broken bottle piercing her foot but she didn't care as she ran as fast as she could. She didn't want to lose her dignity again as she always did. Her instinct to fight back was active that day.However, she ran into them, Ryan and his gang. They were three thugs who did dirty business and she was unlucky to have run into them that faithful night. No matter how much she pleaded, they wouldn't listen to her. She didn't have anymore s
Lisa was dumbfounded. Her eyes widening every now and then as her empty brain searched for a solution.She couldn't think which was of course worse. Annabelle's mother was almost on the brink of death, that was a fact and she couldn't do anything about it.Even when Amelia had nonetheless given her the option to escape, she didn't. Cecelia was already a cruel woman on her own and perhaps a foolish move from her might supposedly end everything. So with her mind screaming with everything it got for her to run… she felt her body betraying her. It stood in one spot rooted as though held down by paralysis.With Amelia in front of Lisa, it seems as though she's become an impenetrable fortress on her own as her eyes shot daggers at the fellas in front of her."I won't let you harm Lisa!" Her voice evident with threat. Her hazel eyes burned with intense murder. She was like a siege engine ready to let the first bullet out in its barrage. For now, nothing seemed to stop her. Although, it w
Lisa kept flinching at every sentence. Every word caused her heart to race tremendously. The texture of his tone told so much that he meant every ounce of his statement. It was already a problem for Lisa.Lisa's mind raced as she absorbed Alex's harsh words. It was as if a storm had engulfed her, plunging her into darkness and despair. How had her life taken such a tragic turn? Just days ago, she was blissfully happy, even though she lived in fear. But now, her worst fear has come to pass and her trust shattered.As pain emanated from her battered body, Lisa desperately searched for a sliver of hope within herself. She refused to accept this twisted reality that Alex, Cecelia, and Savannah were trying to force upon her. Deep down, she knew her innocence, but convincing others seemed like an insurmountable task.The room seemed to close in around her, filled with tension and hostility. Lisa's eyes flickered towards Alex, once filled with love and adoration, now cold and filled with ani
