Sweet Revenge

X

I have this strange feeling in my chest that I can't explain but it's something I've felt before.
I'm sure of it.

We are now in the car that would take us to the Morello family's residence.
Axel is sleeping in the seat next to me, Mr. Nicolai is in another car behind us with his brother.

There is only silence to keep me company and I don't really mind.

Everything seems so surreal, I still can not conceive of being out of that place. It's been the only thing I've wanted with all myself for the last few years, and now that it was becoming true I felt...nothing.

My heart wasn't hurting with joy, I didn't have a smile big enough to hurt my face, No.
My face is devoid of any kind of emotion, my fists are clenched over my thighs.

I don't know what to do with myself, what to feel.

I got lost in my thoughts staring at a point of the car in front of me, hardly even noticing when my door was opened by the driver.

"We are here Ms. Williams"
He said, asking for permission to take my bag but I refused.
It didn't seem necessary to bother him and in any case I am able to do it myself.

As soon as I got out of the car I was amazed by what I saw.
To say this house is huge is an understatement.

"Damn" I heard Axel say next to me. He had his mouth hang open and eyes wide.
"They must be some rich ass men to be able to afford this place"

"Yeah, we pretty much are actually"
We both turned around jut to be met with both Nicolai and Damiano.
"I-I'm sorry Sir I didn't mean to-"
"There's nothing you should apologize for Axel"
Damiano then said with a smirk, winking at him causing a blush to form on Axel's cheeks.

I just stood there without saying a thing, I noticed the way Damiano was flirting with Axel and also the way he was looking at his every move while fighting today but that was none of my business so I didn't say anything.

Nicolai's attention then shifted on me, making me look in his direction meeting those grey eyes that I liked so much.
We stared at each other for a while before he started to speak.

"Why do you still have your bag Ms.Willams?" He said in a stern tone that disagreed with the look in his eyes.

"I didn't want to be a bother, also I'm able to carry my own bag. Sir"
I said without breaking the stare contest we were having.
"Still It's not your job Ms Williams. These people are paid not for nothing"

Was he being serious right now?
"Still Sir, I don't see where's the problem"
I said arching an eyebrow crossing my arms over my chest, causing my breast to pop out a little.
I didn't miss the way his eyes darkened following my every movement stopping a few more seconds on my chest.

"I don't care if you don't see the problem, the only thing you have to do is follow my orders nothing more nothing less. Are we clear?"
He said also crossing his arms over his chest pinching the tip of his nose.

Who does he think he is to talk to me this way?
Yes I'll be working for him but he'll have to go over my dead body before I let him talk to me like that.
So I kept quiet, refusing to be the first one to break our staring contest.

"I said Are. We. Clear Ms Williams?"
He repeated, this time with an harder tone marking each words.
I was about to reply when Axel interrupted me.
"Kyla come on"
He said, I looked at him and saw the look he was giving me telling me not to answer back.

Clenching my jaw I reluctantly put down my bag, not cause I was intimidated by Mr Nicolai but because i didn't want Axel to get in trouble because of me and my tongue.

When I looked up again Mr Nicolai had a cocky smirk on his face that I wanted to slap so bad.
Without another word I started walking towards the house not caring about the continuous calls from Mr Nicolai.

Once inside the house I couldn't help but look around in amazement, the interior decor is modern and at the same time classic and refined.
I was then met with an elderly woman, the maid, who led me to one of the many rooms that, from now on would become my bedroom.

"Ms Williams, here are the clothes you will have to wear from now on to work"
She said handing me a black suit.
"Thanks" I mumbled.
"Oh, and Ms Williams?"
"Yes?"
"You'll start working tomorrow, breakfast will be served in the dining room at 8:00 o'clock and you will have to come already dressed in work clothes"
She said giving me a soft smile that I did not reciprocate.
"Alright, thank you"
I said and after that she closed the door leaving me alone in this place I was unfamiliar with.

I closed my eyes as I sit on the end of the bed, rubbing the back of my neck in an attempt to release a bit of stress.

Tomorrow will be the beginning of my new life and I really don't know what to expect.
