Chapter 5
Life a definition of winning or loosing, and some how to be a winner one has to obtain power and wealth that comes with great sacrifice.
A week had passed since working here, my plan to escape still in motion.
Both Carson and Lucas were nowhere to be seen since the day Carson had dinner with his mother, only his mother ,the maids and the security team who occupied the mention's surroundings .
This morning I heard that they would be arriving later in the day ,and that some how made ms. Freya, Carson's mom seem a little off? , it didn't take me much time to figure out why.
I was sitting the table for dinner when both men arrived but they weren't alone, as I looked up , besides them was a girl about his age , slightly taller than me with light brown hair that reached just above her lower back in smooth waves,she wore a olive green dress that clung onto her body high lighting her curves, her face was all caked up so I could really tell her face features apart due to the layers of makeup on her face.
I continued sitting the table completely ignoring them as I want into the kitchen to deliver the food on the dining table, with the help of other maids we were done by the time they came down for dinner all freshened up in casual wear ,well except the girls they brought with them , she decided to go a little bit extra with a short pink eye catching off shoulder dress .
Ms, Freya , didn't seem so happy about her new visitor, a look of disgust flash over her face as soon as she came down the stairs and was met by the girls presence, but she managed to instantly mask it with a fake smile.
As soon as everything was set ,all us maids left the room . I could feel the two men's gaze boring holes into my back as I left the room with my head held low .
I want into my room and change into something comfortable, I wore a cream t-shirt and a pair of gray sweatpants, releasing me hair from the ban it was in. I didn't have much to wear only a few t shirt ,sants and a single dress together with my maids uniform I turned off the lights laying on my bed facing the ceiling, I took a deep breath , this was harder than I thought , security was every where making it hard for me to get a clear escape root .
I closed my eyes slowly as the calm of the night consumed me, letting my tired limbs rest as I snuggled into the sheets.
This would all be over soon, I still had a glimpse of hope within me.

I entered Carson study ,to him and Lucas sitting on the couches staring into some documents with serious faces . They had ordered one of the maids to bring them some coffee and pastry, so I brought it up to them. Acknowledging my presence , Carson gestured for me to place the tray on the coffee table Infront of them and I did so, as i was carefully removeing the cups of coffee from the tray placing them on the table some one came in .
Both Carson and Lucas looked up from there positions "is everything ok ?" Carson's question was directed to the man who just entered.
"Sir, we tried hacking into their account but it's not working, " the man spoke , clearly these people know nothing about computers.
"Are they using any type of special device ?"Lucas questioned curiously.
"We are not sure about that yet "the man replied.
They clearly didn't know what they were doing ,so I decided to help the out , out of sympathy,
Note the sarcasm .
Carson was about to say something about i beat him ot it ,"Did you try hacking into their systems?"I asked placing the plate of pastry on the coffee table ,my voice came out cold my face deprived of any emotions as I felt all their eyes on me. I held the tray in my hands as I turned to face the man also preparing to leave. The man's eyes flicked to Carson's for a moment as if asking for permission to answer my question, which I guess he accepted"no, we didn't "he replied an unsure expression on his face"well, then you can try that first" I said walking past him avoiding their unbreakable gaze that were on me.
As reached the I kitchen ,I helped set the table for Lunch as other maids went to call them for lunch .
When everything was all set and they had all settled down to eat a maid accidentally knocked down a glass of wine spilling all it's content on the guest from yesterday , making her jump from her seat "what the hell !" She exclaimed out loud looking down at her dress."l..l'm s.sorry ma'ma"the maid stuttered in her words with fear ,as she tried wiping her dress with trembling hands .
"Do you know how much this dress cost, I can assure you it's more expensive than your whole net worth " "Kelsey mind your words ,I won't tolerate you coming into my house and insulting ,my maids "Ms, Freya shot up from her seat in anger "she ruined my dress"Kelsey said her voice a mixture of contempt and disbelieve, gesturing to the red patch of wine on her dress.
"It's just a dress Kelsey "Carson stepped in his voice calm , trying to eas the tention in the air "I'll buy you a new one "he continued pinching the bridge of his nose with his thumb and index finger clearly irritated.
Mr Freya wiped her hands with a napkin and throw it on the table passing Kelsey a death glare before she stormed out of the room .
Carson wiped his face with his hands in frustration as he sighed heavily. I went to the maid who was now in the verge of tears and lead her out of their so I wouldn't have to get dragged into their drama .
I knew for a fact that I didn't like Kelsey, but I had to try and put with her for the meanwhile until I find an escape.
