Chapter 18: Chapter 18
Victoria pov..
After the incident that happened in the waiting room ,I managed to walk back to the kitchen to resume my daily chores .I regretted ever going to serve lord Xander and his guest blood tea .
I couldn't stop my mind from harbouring stupid thoughts , What would have happened if lord Xander's guest killed me .
I was lost in thoughts when suddenly I heard someone screaming from behind .
" Is there anything you are good at ,huh .why can't you do things right "
" Am sorry lady Madison ,I was carried away "
" Thinking.. when you are suppose to be working ,Ever since you came into this mansion there had been one trouble or the order "
" My apologies my lady ,I promise to do things right from today "
" Better do , Even if lord Xander brought you here as a maid ,I wouldn't hesitate to chase you out I hope am understood "
" Yes my lady "
She walked out of the kitchen ,leaving me speechless ,I kept wondering why this woman hates me so much ,from both encounter we have had it's obvious that she Hates me a lot.just then the three fools birds walked in .
" Stop daydream Victoria go back to work " They all burst into laughter
" It's not funny ,please leave me alone am busy "
" What if we don't "
They stepped forward and stood in front of me .
" I can see you have a sharp mouth just because lord Xander bought you here doesn't mean you should talk back at us , You should always remember that we have been here before you came ,We know everything about this mansion ,and with the way you are right now ,I can't tell if you will last a full season in this mansion alive !!"
" Thank you for the advice but I will pass , And lastly please stay away from me ,I don't like you girls , Simply because lord Xander have fucked you so many times doesn't mean you have the right to talk down on me ,but one thing you should remember ,even if he f**ks you countless times ,you can never be is wife ,you will always remain a maid *
The last word I said got to her ,her face became red out of anger .
" How dare you bitch "
She raised her hand to hit my face but I caught it on time .
" What are trying to do ,Slap me because I said the truth , Don't be stupid you brain is too small for you head , You should know that am not scared of you ,I repeat you are nothing but a maid so if you want to vent out your anger do it to your jobless bodyguards that like following you around to bully people "
Her friends stood beside her with there mouth opened .
" Isabella let's go leave this bitch alone ,you might get us into trouble with lady Madison please let's go we have order ways to make her pay for insulting us "
Isabella kept struggling to leave the kitchen ,with the expression on her face I could tell that she was ready to launch an attack on me at anytime ,but her friends were holding her from doing so ,they dragged her out of the kitchen then I returned to work .
Suddenly I heard someone's voice from behind .
" I must applaud you today for your bravery "
' Huh ...I turned to look at the person standing in front of me .
" You are indeed a brave girl ,you stood up to those three musketeers "
" They are no musketeers ,they nothing but foolish butterfly who think they can fly high like a bird "
" Haha..that's funny ,my name is Desmond "
" Oh Desmond my name is Victoria "
" I haven't seen your face here before '
" Yes am a guard ,at the entrance if the mansion ,I just came in to get a jug of water ,when I meant the four of you quarreling ".
" Okay "
" I guess you are the new maids lord Xander bought "
"Yes how did you know about it "
" Just like women do gossip men do gossip two you know "
" I can't believe ,I became the topic of the day "
" I bet you want to know what they were talking about you "
' Am curious "
" They couldn't stop describing your beauty "
" Really "
" Yes ,am glad to be the first person to talk to you "
" Thank you Mr Desmond ,how kind of you "
Our conversation didn't last for long because it was interrupted by a deep voice .
" What's going on here "
I cleared my throat and continued my work while Desmond bow his head and walked out of the kitchen .
" What's going on here "
' Nothing my lord "
" What was a guard talking to you about "
Wait why am I explaining things to him ,besides his nothing but my master ,why is he asking me so many questions "
" Victoria *
" Yes my lord "
' What was that guard doing here "
" Nothing he came to take water "
" Interesting ...water From the kitchen ,I don't know the kitchen have become a tourist centre, where people come in and go out as they like ,I will make sure Sebastian look into it ,I don't want a case of poison to occur in this mansion "
" What do you want my lord "
" Why do you ask "
" I haven't seen you in the kitchen before "
" I don't think I need you permission to attend into my kitchen do I ?"
" No my lord "
I turned to continue my chores .
" I haven't seen your friend lately ,hope she's okay "
' My friend ,you mean Elena the maids she's fine "
" Hmm..Am not talking about the maid "
He closed the distance between us and whispered into my ears .
" Am talking about the Ghost "
His words kept ringing in my head .
" Wait what does it mean he can see her too ,No fucking way, My mind travelled back to want Martha told me ,so those it mean ,His indeed a corrupt soul ,I turned to look into his red eyes ,then I looked away from him .
" Don't worry you don't have to be scared ,I know she followed us here from the slave establishment to this place "
" You knew about her all this while "
" Yeah ,I do but that's not why am here "
" Why..why are you here "
He wrapped his hands around my waist and forcefully pull me closer to himself ,he used his finger to trail down my neckline which sent shiver down my spine .
" You shouldn't let people touch you anyhow "
He let go of me ,I almost lost my balance I had to hold myself from falling ,like a flash he vanished out if the kitchen , My heart was beating faster than normal .
" His touch almost made me lose my mind , But what does he want and why did he had to do that ,I quickly straighten my dress and got back to work .
