Lost revenge

6

I manage to get her in the truck and we start or drive back to the mansion.

She remains quite. I nearly jump out of my skin when I hear a small voice whisper from the seat next to me saying " Thank you."

I put the truck in park right in front of the mansion doors and turn to look at the girl.

She is staring up at the mansion with awe but the fear still hasn't left her eyes.

When I ask her " What is your name? " she jumps before responding " Eve. " and returning the truck cab to silence.

* Eve's POV

The man next to me was strange but kind, fear clawed at my heart as I remembered who he called father.

A door slams closed to my left and in seconds he is by my door.

I let out a small squeak when he suddenly appears outside of the truck window.

He opens my door slowly and takes my hand in his bagger one, but I don't pull away.

I'm trapped not in chains, but in his ice blue eyes, they stare at me but I see no cruelty only curiosity.

When I step onto the brick driveway I notice a large iron gate to my right and behind it stood many women, all of which shot daggers at me with their eyes as I walked up the marble steps to the doors on the mans arm.

* Zachary's POV

The usual crowd of women was pressed against the iron gate in front of the driveway.

All of which glared at Eve as I helped her into the large estate.

I watch in amusement as her eyes widen when I open the door to the grand hallway and glitter in the light of the diamond chandelier.

A long staircase leading to the higher levels started to echo with the sound of running heels, and within seconds two of the younger maids came running onto the landing.

As soon as they reached the landing they come to a sliding stop and curtsied in there white and blue dresses.

Then the oldest of the two straightened and spoke in a clear voice " Mr. Zachary your home early. We have your room made up and the kitchen has set to work on your dinner."

She then spots Eve clutching my arm and says with venom in her voice " Well I see you have a guest sir I'll have her room made up on th——"

I cut her off and say " Make a room up for her next to mine. The one with the view of the garden. "

"Right away sir. " They say before running off again.
