The Cinderella Life

Sylvia

We finally reach the house, thank Goodness I was already tired of driving. We all got down, Tana walked slowly to me holding my arm with a worried face.

"What's wrong?" I whispered in her ears with concern.

"I'm sacred" She answered. I hugged her, kissing her head.

"As long as I'm here, nothing is going to happen" I reassured her.

Sofia had already started ringing the door bell a lot of times, I think she found it fun to do. Until a middle aged man opened the door with a confused look, I walked up to him stretching my hand out for a shake.

"I'm Antonio" I said as the man shaked my hand back.

"Booty the butler" He said, I couldn't help not to smile and I heard the two girls behind me chuckle.

"We are here to see Sylvia" Sofia said

"She's my coworker at work and my very close friend" Tana added.

He gave us a slight nod, before gesturing us to enter.

"Wow!" I heard Tana exclaimed as we walked through what seem like a hall with flowers painting and vases, the hall was painted with white.

"Mrs. Charlotte loves nature painting mostly flowers" The butler said.

"They are so beautiful" Tana said.

"Just like you" The butler replied, I stopped dead on my tracks, did he just call her beautiful?.

"Thank you" I heard Tana say with a smile. Is she blushing for him?

I looked at the butler with a hard glare, he looked at me with a calm smile.

"Is just a compliment, cool down bro" He said as he continued walking, I also continued walking. God! This hall was too long.

We finally got out of the hall, entering the sitting room. It was a modern one with the basic necessities with lovely colour designs.

"Have a seat, i will go call her" The butler said walking up the stairs.

"I don't like him" I whispered into Tana ears. Sofia was already sitting down watching the movie being showed on the television.

"I like him" Tana said sitting near Sofia.

I sat down on the other couch resting my head as I closed my eyes enjoying the moment, Until I heard someone scream, I opened my eyes it was Tana hugging Sylvia.

"I've missed you so much" Sylvia said.

TANA'S POV

"It's been long" I said hugging her tight.

"I miss you so much Tana" she said as little tears dropped down from her eyes.

I released her from the hug as she embraced Sofia.

"It's been a long time" Sofia said.

"I know, where have you been?" Sylvia asked.
I looked at Antonio he was looking at Sylvia with suspicious eyes. He doesn't trust her because he thinks she's a traitor.

"Heyy" Sylvia said walking towards Antonio but he ignored. I dragged her arm taking her to the couch as both me and Sofia sat beside her.

"Start explaining" I said curious.

"It's my mum" She said with little tears threatening to fall.

"Your mum?, I thought-" She cut me off.

"She found out where we lived" She said as the tears fell.

"She sent some guys to come and get me and my stuffs, after some minutes Antonio left to look for you. She literally kidnapped me and she's keeping me captive here. She collected my phone and laptop so I can't make any contact, I'm so sorry" She turned to me with a sorry face.

"I know you went through so much when you were kidnapped, and I wasn't there to protect you, am such a bad friend, please forgive me" She said holding my hands with tears in her eyes.

"You don't have to" I said cleaning her tears.

"Why is she keeping you captive here?" Sofia asked.

"To marry me off to some rich man" Sylvia answered disgusted.

"She's still on that topic?" I asked disappointed.

"Unfortunately yes. She's so stubborn" Sylvia answered.

"So you can't leave here?" Sofia asked.

"Yes, my mum went out for a meeting she would soon be back"

"Can't you run away or escape?" I asked with hope.

"No, there's security everywhere even with security cameras"

"Oh" I said.

"I didn't mean to leave her" Sylvia said standing and walking towards Antonio.
He ignored her again.

"Why are you being stubborn, it's not her fault" I told Antonio, he looked at me and I smiled at him.

He sighed in defeat. "I'm not angry" He said.

"Thank you"Sylvia said smiling.

"Booty!" She shouted her.

I could not help not to laugh to the name. Sofia and Antonio joined laughing, Sylvia only smiled when she realized why we were laughing.

"Yes ma" He replied.

"Please make lunch for us all" She requested.

"Yes ma" He said leaving.

"Are you sure you can't run away from here?" I asked feeling pity for her.

"Yes, I've tried that a lot of times but the security is tight. Right now they are like ten men keeping an eye on me"She said with a sad expression.

"Your mum is something else" I said.

"What about her mum?" I heard someone ask, I turned to see a middle-aged woman looking at me with a frown on her face.

"Who are this fools?" The woman asked walking towards Sylvia. Antonio sprang up to his feet with a fierce look.

"They are my friends"
" That's Tana I've been telling you about her" Sylvia said pointing towards me.

"Good mo-"  I stood up to greet her, when she stopped me by raising her right hand up signifying for me to keep quiet.

"Keep all that to yourself" She said rudely.

"You don't have the right to talk to my wife like that" Antonio said with a frown.

"And who do you think you are?" She asked starring at Antonio from head to toe.

"Get this fools out of my house" She said to Sylvia, I could see Antonio getting furious.

"But-" Sylvia tried to say something but the woman stopped her.

"Jordan, Steven" She shouted.

Two heavily big and tall men wearing black entered the scene.

"Yes ma" One of them answered.

"Take this outsiders out of here"

"I didn't come to see you" I shouted at the woman, she's already hurting my feelings.

"Drag them out of here" I heard her say ignoring me. I wanted to walk towards her and I shout my feelings out, when I felt Antonio wrap me into a hug, his arm on my shoulder as he gave me a slight smile.

"Just ignore, I will take care of them later" he smiled devilishly.

"Let's go" He said gently as we started walking and Sofia was behind us.

"Don't think of coming back here" I heard the woman shout.

"We won't!" I shouted to her
