Ryan's POV

The small maid from before walked in, great. My mother came in with Alison just as the maid did

"Your actually doing this?" Alison asks

"Don't want to lose the deal" I say watching the maid look at the floor. What was her name again? I don't know, it starts with a C tho. I think

"Eyes up" my father says to the maid, she quickly looks up meeting his eyes

"Dad she's to......her" I say looking her up and down

"She wouldn't of been sent in if she couldn't handle it" Dad says, please no slave could handle being normal.

"What's your name?" My mother asks, the maid looks confused, but answers my mothers question

"Chloe Ms" she whispers, I roll my eyes. She can't pass as normal when she doesn't speak normally

"Chloe you have a new chore from now on" my father says, Chloe looks more then confused

"What do you mean sir?" She asks her voice just above a whisper now, my father then explains the hole thing to Chloe. I could tell she wasn't liking it much, but it's not like she has a choice.

Chloe's POV

I can't pretend to be rich, if I fail and they lose this deal they would blame me. They could sell me, or worse

"Tonight you will eat with us as well as all day tomorrow you'll have lessons, we can't have you noticed" Mr McCartan says harsher then necessary, I was to afraid to say no tho. I'd be punished.

"Yes sir" I say looking down

"You can go" ms McCartan says, as soon as I hear that I run out of the room. I can't do this, it's not me

***

"Shut up" I say to matty as I'm putting my hair in two lose side braids

"They really want you too?" Molly asks i nod, we're down in the basement we've done out chores for the day. We're all still in our work clothes tho

"That's insane" Matty says I nod

"Chloe!" I hear ms Anderson yell from upstairs

"It's your mothers fault" I say then walk upstairs, to see her and some other maids getting the McCartans dinner ready

"They want you in the dinning room Hun"she says noticing I came up, I sigh and walk into the dinning room to see them talking as they're sitting at the table, Mr McCartan one end of the table, ms McCartan to the right side of him, Ryan on the left and Alison beside her mother

"Chloe take a seat" Mr McCartan says noticing my presence, I awkwardly sat down next to Ryan.

"Back straighter" Ryan says, not even looking at me, I don't know if I can do this. I straighten my back, as I look at my lap. This was not going to be easy

"Ehh that's sorta straight" Alison says, If I go any straighter I'd start going backwards. I shift a little and try again

"This is so stupid" Ryan says before taking a sip of his wine.

"Yeah well we need this deal, at least act like you like her tomorrow" Mr McCartan says, i seriously don't know why I like Ryan but I can't help it, it goes silent and Ms Anderson and a few other. Bring the mccartans dinner in, I looked up at ms Anderson confused when she placed a plate in front of me. She touched my shoulder giving s smile before walking back to the kitchen.

The mccartans started eating as they talked over this deal, I wasn't used to such a normal meal so I just sat here. Besides they never said anything on me eating, I don't want to be in trouble.

"Do you not know how to use a knife and fork?" Ryan asks bored as he looks at me, the others look at me as well.

"I do sir" i whisper looking down, I'm not a wild animal that can't use a knife and fork

"Then eat, you don't seem grateful you get to eat with us" he says, I can tell he was trying to get to me

"I am sir" i whisper

"First thing you need to know if when you speak you make eye contact and no whispering now why don't you repeat that" Ryan says, I take a deep breath and look up meeting his amazing brown eyes I could get lost in.

"I am grateful sir" I say my voice a little louder, the truth is even tho I like Ryan. Him and his family scare me, they have so much power.

"Then eat" he snaps, I quickly nod as they go back to talking I look at the plate full of food I've never tried and I know I never would again.

At least there letting me eat a filling food, there using me so it's the least they could do. Each bite tasted amazing, I don't even know what I'm eating but it was so good.

I promise more things will start happening soon, please comment and vote.
