Puffing out smoke from the cigarette in my hands, I gulped down large amounts of the red winey glass while I tapped my left hand on the sofa arm panel continuously. Waiting anxiously for Cody “What could be taking him so long?,” I groaned, shutting my eyes close in relief.

“Boss!” He exclaimed, walking in the company of pretty girls dressed in lingerie, “the man is innocent,he said standing beside me while ignoring him glaring at the girls who were drooling at me,how would you drool over something you didn’t see.

“You say? I asked again to be sure I heard correctly.

“He is innocent but was framed up by someone, ‘’ Cody explained.

“I knew it from the very first time I set my eyes on him but my men said they saw him with the bad guys and definitely those men who indicate they saw him doing it I want them to stop breathing, he said and stood up.

Cody bowed his head and he walked towards the stairs...

“Send those bitchs off. I don’t need their service today, ‘’ he said and finally went off.

“Ma’am!” Tonia tapped on Angelina’s shoulder who in turn grumbled sleepily. “Don’t be a killjoy, mom.”

“Ma’am it’s me, Tonia your assigned maid” she says as she turns walking towards the bathroom to get the bath ready. Angelina tapped the spaces next to her, searching for nothing in particular as she sitted up. Inching her aching eyes, she glanced confusedly around the room with a frown on her face.

“Where are mine and oh damn am I late for the office!! She rushes her word climbing down the bed but then her slippers are nowhere to be found.

“Where am I?” She muttered as she stood up from the bed intensely, glancing more around the typical room which looked gloomy. “How did I get here?” She asked no one in particular.

“Ma’am?,” She heard a feminine call as she turned swiftly to see tonia. Instantly, memories of what happened yesterday flowed back into her head. “You?” She called alarmingly while tonia ambled towards her.

“My name is Tonia Ma’am, she replied.

“How long have I slept?,” She asked, tilting her head.

“Hours ma’am” Tonia answered with a smile.

“I’m Angelina” she introduced, packing her hairy bun properly. “You’re my supposed maid right?” She arched an eyebrow.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Tonia replied, shrugging slightly.

“ It is,” Angelina said almost immediately as she unclad her stained cloth, Tonia instantly gave her another to wear. She stared at her for a moment before accepting the cloth and wearing it.

“I can’t believe that this coward couldn’t even provide better clothes. He said and scoffed loudly.

“Hey, why are you staring at me?” Angelina queried, rolling her eyeball as she caught Tonia staring at her.

“You’re pretty!” Angelina blurts out with an expressionless face.

“Uh? Um, thanks. To be honest, I know that quite well which is exactly how I ended up in this coward mansion, she said standing akimbo.

“Really?” Tonia chuckled, unbelievably.

“Yeah, Also I don’t like talking mouth beside you might find my behaviour bad,and you know what I don’t care! She said, flipping her hair backward.

“Prepare my bath. I need one and don’t make it too water. I prefer fumes,’’ she said and walked out of the room.

She came back peeping inside the room.

“What is your name again? She asked.

“Tonia, she replied.

“ Good Tonia , can I ask something? Or not let me ask you something that sounds more like me, she said.

Tonia rolled her eyes secretly at her .

“Tell me everything about your coward master?” Angelina asked. Tonia stopped for a moment, shot her a stare. Looked around before answering.

“You must be kidding me, right?!” Tonia half yelled.

“No, I’m not also keep your voice down you are talking to me woman” Angelina replied shrugged

“Who doesn’t know Master Dominion Rider, he’s the youngest prominent, ruthless mafia Lord across the whole country. He’s the richest and.…..” She trailed off, looked around again before she continued.

“Deadly. kills without mercy, twenty girls die a day, sometimes thirty-five. He’s got no human feelings, he’s simply called the devil’s son”

“The devil’s son?!” Angelina’s eyes widened as the description she just made

“My conclusion remains that he is a coward! She said and closed the door behind her whole Tonia couldn’t believe with all the description she just made him still a coward?

“Who is she really? she asked no one in particular.

Getting out of the passage which seems too long for my likeness I just can’t believe I’m in some house being kidnapped.

A whole me! I scoffed, finally taking the last step.

I agree he is damn money everywhere he speaks of wealth.

“Finally you decide to come down from your cage, ‘’ I heard his voice from one corner.

I ignore him and went to the kitchen

The atmosphere was quite a cold one, A maid gave a side glance at him before heaving a sign, she veered around towards the other girls, gesturing them to go back to their duties. As they all darted away.

Coming back to the sitting room.

I crossed my leg with a glass of milk in my hand which I just served myself. The world is dangerous, drugs or poison may occur.

“This mansion is quite a massive one” I complimented, staring around the sitting room..

“You sure haven’t seen the whole place yet,” he said, huffing.

“Really?” I turned towards him.

“Really. Don’t worry, you’d get to explore the whole place soon, He paused, turned and narrowed his eyes deep into mine.

“Don’t worry dear, tonight will be memorable too, ‘’ he said and smirked.

I stand up and move to the sitting room area with the milk glass in my hand.

My steps are quite gentle and my hair flowing down my shoulders.

“You know I can send you to jail right ? Where you will rot and die there! I said with the glint of anger in me.
