Chapter 05
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I opened my eyes feeling so tired, weak and wore out. I felt empty like someone who got injected, on maybe I was injected.
I remember feeling a little pain on my arm seconds after I was blindfolded and then I didn’t remember what happens next. Opening my eyes, I meet two other girls in the room with me and they were both staring at me like they’ve just seen a ghost.
“What?” I opened my mouth to talk to them but no word came out. I could only look at them nervously.
“Sorry if we made you uncomfortable, My name is Sophia and that’s Isabella” The first girl , Sophia, introduces and won’t stop smiling.
She’s blonde and has a black eye ball, she wasn’t that much of a pretty but she smiles a lot. The other girl, Isabella, has a black shoulder length hair with bun, and she’s actually somehow, prettier than Sophia.
I nodded at Sophia’s introduction.
“You should rest, we’ll show you round the building once you’ve some energy, There’s no more work to do for today. So we’ll just show you around and you can start tomorrow” Isabella said and sat up from the bed.
There are three beds in the room and still enough space for more bed, the room is pretty wide and comfortable. it is painted blue.
“Actually, I don’t think I need any more rest. How did you end up here?” I asked curiously.
“The same way you ended up here” Sophia snapped, getting up from the bed too, she walked to the last bed which was close to the wall, she opened the cupboard next to the bed and bring out a can of water.
“Paying for a debt?” I asked raising my eyebrow. I tried to get off from the bed but I couldn’t move my body.
“You too? Haha!” Isabella said and laughed but when her eyes meet with Sophia, she immediately went mute and fake coughed.
“See? Sophia told you to rest. The drug still have an effect on you, Am sure it’ll expire soon. So, get some rest and we’ll show you around ” Isabella said and immediately went to the other bed at the far end and climbed on it.
I looked at Sophia as she avoided making eye contact with me. Without being told, I know that I’m not the only victim here, I have to find out whatever my parents didn’t tell me and I need to escape from here as soon as possible.
“Don’t even think about that” I heard Sophia said. I look up to her.
“Hh?”
“We heard you, Don’t even dream of escaping let alone, making an attempt, if you wish to live a little longer”. She smiled at me and laid back on the bed, backing me.
Sophia and Isabella laid me outside the room after I have gotten some rest. Sophia is the most jovial and they both told me they’ve been here for three years but that was the only thing they said as it seems they have limit for whatever they are to say.
“There are some group of three girls you should avoid. We all here have our groups, the room you find yourself in, the people inside is your group. This three girls are the rudest especially Amelia, don’t worry I’ll show you when they come around”. Sophia said.
” Give them six feet if you sight them, They’ve made my stay here horrible ” Isabella said.
“Okay”.
Sophia took my hand and laid me downstairs why Isabella walks behind us.
” It’s our turn to serve Chase when he gets home tonight, so we should better hurry to the kitchen. ” Isabella said, reminding Sophia.
“I know. Calista, we are going to reach you how to serve Chase. You are not allowed to make any mistake, and you’re to put on a mask when serving him , Don’t talk when he’s taking no matter the kind of insult he gives you” Isabella said.
“I heard he’s the most cold hearted and heartless among his other brothers” I said and Sophia immediately covered my mouth with her palms making me stop walking.
“Sheee! seriously Calista, don’t let even a bug hear what you just said or you’re gone.” Sophia said and I nodded.
“So, this is the dining… You’re are going to accompany us while serving him, I wonder why they haven’t brought in your wears. Anyways, Chase always have his meal at 7:30, before 7:30 you should already be done with everything, you’re not allowed to be a minute late in whatever. And, it’s always our turn to serve him every four days. Just stay on a close watch and with time you’ll learn everything. I can’t show you round the house, it’s not allowed, We can only tell you what you need to know about serving Chase, every other thing , you’ve to learn it and find your way by yourself ” Sophia finally ended the long summon.
“Really, why is it so?” I asked.
“I don’t know, because it’s the rule. Come on, let’s head to the kitchen” Sophia said and grab my hand as we heads to the kitchen.
“Uhm… Sophia! Amelia and her girls are still in the kitchen? shouldn’t we wait for them to get out yet? Am tired to get scold and bullied again” Isabella whined.
“They bullies you?” I raised my brow.
“They bullies everyone, they are like the queens here while as they are just as miserable as us” Sophia sighs.
“Why do you let them bully you then?”
“Calista, it’s not as easy as it looks. This three can get away with anything. We don’t even dare complain to the boss, No one complains in this house. You just live like a slave that was given a little privilege” Isabella said.
With those words and the sadness in their voice, I began to miss Emma so much and wish she’s with me.
Emma and me are the bully ourselves back then in school, we don’t bully the weak, instead we bully those who tries to bully the weak.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
So seeing Isabella and Sophia’s niceness to me despite just meeting me, I was ready to defend them from Amelia and her clues.
