I sat in my spot holding my knees up. I can't remember for how long I have been in this position but I just couldn't move.

Despite how much my body was begging me to just shut my eyes and lay down on the obviously soft bed. I couldn't.

The nightmares would never let me. Plus I should be on guard. I don't know anyone here and they definitely don't look like good people. What if I get rapped while I sleep?

I can't afford to be raped again.

A soft knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I stared at the door not moving. It was pushed open slowly and the face of a woman greeted me.

Her dressing gave away her role in this mansion of a house. She was probably the maid or the cook because of the black pencil skirt and white shirt she wore with a white piece tied on her head.

She had a warm smile on her face that made me uncomfortable as she stared at me.

It was just too warm for my liking.

Wrinkles on both eyes as her lips stretched into a smile. Her hair was firmly rolled in a neat tight bun on her head.

"It's dinner time dear. Mr Vitiello seeks your presence" She said still smiling.

Why is she still smiling? Doesn't her face hurt from smiling so much?

My skin crawled uncomfortably at the nickname she gave me.

I sighed and got on my feet.

"Do you perhaps need help changing?" She asked with a soft voice staring at my dress. That smile permanent on her face.

I couldn't help the frown that found its way on my face. I don't like her.

I ignored her and walked towards the door and pulled it open leaving her behind.

She can follow if she wants or stay back and try playing mum with me.

I don't like her.

I could hear her feet as she walked slowly behind me giving me space to myself.

Honestly I didn't know where I was going or how to even get to the dinning room. I paused in embarrassment not knowing how to say I don't have a fucking clue where I am going.

I suddenly feel like an idiot. Now how do I ask her for directions?

I heard her chuckle behind me as I didn't move. Embarrassment ate away at me as my cheeks reddened.

She cleared her throat and passed me leading the way.

I was grateful she didn't try talking to me the second time and just directed me.

I could hear voices the more we walked signifying how close we were to our destination.

My heart thumped faster in my chest at the sound of his voice. He sounded angry but somehow my body tickled at the rumble of his voice.

What is wrong with me.

I paused on my step not able to take another step as we reached our destination. He hasn't seen me yet but I could see him from where I stood.

Finn stood beside him listening to whatever he was saying to him his face not showing any emotion.

I trialed my eyes down his face, his Adam's apple bubbing the more he spoke and the angrier he got.

"Need me to walk in with you?" The Lady spoke.

My cheeks reddened at how shameless I was. I wonder what she thinks of me now? I'm definitely not that kind of girl.
