Maid For The Billionaire

-CHAPTER 1: THE CALL-

  RAVEN DOWNS IN THE PHOTO BELOW                                        

                                 Ravens POV~>

I'm 23, searching for a decent job that I could earn some money to live and survive. You may have already guessed, Yes, I'm poor. I had begged and borrowed, struggling in the city of Los Angelos just to at least survive. Getting abused for seven good years wasn't an easy thing and all those abuses should be blamed on my mum's brother, my abusive uncle.

No matter what I said, nothing could ever convince my uncle that I'm his niece whom his late sister left for him to be taken care of but not to be tortured, punched, or played with.

I dropped out of school because I couldn't afford the fee for my college. Whenever I asked uncle, he would always yell, "Shut up you Bitch! You still have the audacity to ask for money. Get out of my sight, You disgust me!" He yells in his British accent. Although, I don't care because, at the end of the day, he still lends me some money to prepare some food only for himself. Dare I not get a taste from what I made him. I would be earning a dirty slap if I get caught.

The house was a small bungalow with two small bedrooms accompanied by a little sitting room and kitchen before a tiny basement just below the ground level. Uncle Tim stays in the room upstairs while I stay in the one downstairs. I make sure to lock my door always, one mistake could lead to many things you wouldn't imagine.

I have only two friends, Anna and Miley. Anna works at a cafe and Miley is a banker. We've been friends since High School and Miley isn't as broke as I and Anna. I would say I'm more broke than the two of them. I wonder what I would have done if I hadn't met any of them. I would be dead meat just like my parents.

Seven years ago, my parents were kidnapped. They got killed on the spot and worst of all, Burnt, burnt to ashes. Who would do such a thing to a Sixteen-year-old girl who loved her parents so much and only wanted happiness? I really don't know why God decided to punish me in this way and I don't think he knows how much I miss them. I'm suffering in the hands of that bastard who only knows how to drink, abuse, and curse at me.

I just...wanted a normal life any human being would have. A normal life where I could see the people I love around, smiles on their faces, and a happily ever after ending.

"bring. bring. bring"

My afforded phone cuts me from my imaginable misfortune.

"Hello..." I say to the phone waiting for an answer.

"Raven...Are you okay," Miley's voice speaks softly on the phone.

Really, is that all she could ask. Do I Look Okay To You Or Do I Feel Okay, HUH??? ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!

"Yes, I'm okay, Wassup?" I quietly whisper into the phone even though I feel like exploding at the moment. A loud sigh was heard on the phone before she continues, "Let's meet up, I have something I wanna discuss with you" She stated. I was about to decline when she cuts the call leaving me in silence.

Another ding vibrated my phone just to see a message from Miley saying, 'At the mall, Kilimanjaro.'

I rolled my eyes and quickly put on some clothes, grabbing my keys and some money. I storm out of the house and called for a taxi. Eight minutes passed and I finally reached the stupid mall that Miley wanted to tell me something so important. Bla...Bla...Bla.

I give the man his money and headed to the entrance taking a glance around seeing everyone's smiley faces and happiness printed on all their faces.

"Mummy, I want icecream" A little boy runs to his mum and points at the icecream shop.

"Ohh, come on, let's go get you some icecream" The mother smiles down at the little boy as excitement and joy, filled his eyes. When last did I smile like that? The memories seem so blurry to my existence like they are oblivious.

"Raven! Over here and stop looking at a bunch of people who are acting all happy and innocent," Miley yells from the nearest cafe, Kilimanjaro, before I rushed off to meet her. I sit on the seat opposite her when she hands me a hot chocolate.

"Thank you,"

"Anytime," Miley responds.

"So will you tell me why you suddenly called?" I asked.

"I missed you so much," She stands up and gives me one of her tight hugs which had this sweetness in them. I kindly return the kind gesture until she returned back to her seat. 

"Guess what?" She asked.

"What?"

"Guess duh?" Her eyes glimmering in anticipation.

"Umm...okay, You got a new boyfriend,"

"No," She giggled.

"Then what?" I say impatiently.

Her smile widens before she blinked slowly and said,

"I found a job for you,"

"..."

At that moment, I stopped breathing as if my soul resurrected like a balloon losing its weight. What does she mean she found a job for me, what job?

"What!" I felt so uplifted.

"I'm serious, but there's a little problem," She stated.

"What is it?" I asked. She made a disturbing expression before looking up to me.

"You have to work as a maid"
