The Orphan Girl

I Wish A Bitch Would

Gabriella POV

┕━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━┙

I stare down at the empty sink and feel disappointed, once I start washing dishes it was almost therapeutic for me and I don't want to stop.

I was on morning duty, which means I have to clean up the kitchen with five other girls before it hits 8:00am, but I usually wake up before everyone else and get as much done before our time requirement, as I dried my hands on my skirt, I heard footsteps walking in.

I quickly turn around and stare down at the sink my back turned away.

"If their was such a thing as human trash, Alec would be right up their next to you Donnchadh"  I heard Prince George say.

"Why am I getting dragged into this, if anyone here is trash it's you George." An unfamiliar voice spoke

"Say it to my face pretty boy" George retaliates

"For men who fought in war, you both act like children" Alec sighs deeply, making me turn around accidentally making eye contact.

I glance at the unfamiliar man, who was the same height as Alec and George he wore a suite and had gold chains around his neck i knew he was rich by just the smug look on his handsome face.

"Do we have a problem?" He spoke, i feared for a second not knowing what he was capable of, I could hear his tone which was one of disappointment that i was in his presence.

"I don't know, do we?" I blurted out, not knowing why I just did that I look at Alec in panic who seemed surprised.

"Lady Gabriella is one of our maids"

"You let your maids talk to you guests like that?" He closed his eyes for a few seconds in disbelief, I quickly looked down intimidated.

"Duncan let it go" Alec tried to step in but he wasn't having any of it.

"Shh." He hushed him "You're a daring girl." Duncan said, eyeing me, "You're not going to speak to me like that, are you?"

"Don't patronise my staff like that" Alec spoke again, this time low.

Duncan pushing his shoulder lightly. But Alec was not half as amused. Usually, he wouldn't say anything in situations like this. Why would he when I was only a worker.

But now that i look at him, i see a tightened expression on his lips and his tensed jaw. He was looking troubled.

"Why are you getting worked up over some bitch" Duncan asked confused.

i dont know why I'm still standing here, my brain was telling me to run but my legs were not moving. Alec suddenly grabs him by the collar of his shirt their faces now where inches apart, I gasped out loud dropping the sponge I had in my hand on the ground surprised at his sudden reaction.

"Really, Bro, cool down." George said, jumping in the middle of them and placing his hands on Alec's shoulders, "We shouldn't be hostile, were all friends here."

Duncan's mouth opened in protest but George glared at him making him back away.

"I won't talk to your girlfriend anymore if that makes you feel better" he scoffs at Alec who just stares at the ground.
