It begins with us.

Chapter Seventeen

Ava's POV

I began to poke my head out from my bedroom, seeing if there was anyone stationed outside, waiting to throw me back inside and lock the door. My eye's widened when I cough two very large men standing tall only a few feet away. Their heads snapped in my direction the moment I had poked my head out. But instead of being scared, I felt confused, because they both greeted me then smiled politely in my direction.

"Good morning Ms. Johnson, will you be leaving for the day?"

His voice was heavy, but also quite gentle with the way he spoke that it startled me for a moment. My eye's took in both men as they continued to stand tall facing me. Both men were wearing that same black suits with white button up shirts underneath. One of the men had his dark drown hair up in a bun, while the other kept his black hair short on the sides and top. They both were built quite solid as I looked at their jackets stretching over their biceps, knowing full well that I would have a hard time out maneuvering them. But they did look like they could move quick, considering the size of their bodies.

"Ms. Johnson?"

The tall man with the bun asked his question again, making me blink a few times as I moved further out of the room and into the hallway.

"Am I allowed? Wont your King get his pants in a twist?"

I raised a challenging eyebrow in their direction as they both give each other a silent look, smirking before shaking their heads in amusement. "No Ms. Mr Avraham will not be upset. He is the one who allowed you your freedom in walking around as you please."

"With the exception of the both of us to keep you company of course."

I narrowed my eye's while crossing my arms over my chest.

"So you both are my babysitters?"

They both just smirked and nodded their heads as I rolled my eye's. This was fucking ridicules! So I was allowed my freedom, but was to be monitored twenty-four seven? That wasn't the freedom I wanted, but if I was to remain stuck here then I would have to suck it the fuck up.

"That's fine then" I shrugged while walking past them both, my head held high and eyes forward.

I had a vague idea of where I was going as I turned left at the end of the hall, coming face to face with the opened space I had seen when Rivka look me out for the first time.

Speaking of Rivka...

"Where is Rivka?"

I asked, stopping at the top of the grand staircase while I looked up at my babysitters.

"She is busy today Ms."

I sigh while nodding my head as I continue down the stairs. I was a little down about Rivka being unable to join me today, but I guess I can't expect the girl to keep me company every day. I'm sure she had a life and friends she wanted to see.

"Where would you like to go today Ms. Johnson?"

I stop surprised by Mr man bun's question, wondering just how much freedom I was allowed to have according to Mr Avraham. Spinning around on my heels I placed both hands on my hips.

"First things first, stop calling me Ms. Johnson. My name is Ava. Second....I would like to leave this house? Mansion? Manor? What ever it is, I would like to go outside beyond it."

I raised my eyebrows at them as I waited nervously for their reply. Truth is that I was displaying a large amount of confidence, but inside my mind I was screaming at myself to be carful, not wanting to poke them in any way that they will attack. I heard a muffled chuckle coming from the other babysitter when I narrowed my eye's at him.
