The next day, I woke up someone knocking on the door "Princess" WTF.
"Come in" why princess?
"I came to give you this, and to tell you that the bath is ready whenever you are" she's sweet and her accent too.
"Okay, and please don't call me princess"
"Sorry, the Lord has commanded me to call you princess" Lord?
"What's your name?"
"Angelica. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to prepare lunch now. What would you like?"
"Nothing. I just want to know why I'm here"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you that, but not because I really can't but because I don't know myself" she bowed and left.
She looks like a very young Analine.
The bath was exquisite, and the dress she gave me was beautiful. I don't know if she thinks I'm going to wear it, because I'm not. I'm going to wear the PJ's that were in the second drawer. So I put them on.
A couple of minutes later, the man whose name I don't even know, yet came in.
"Why are you still in bed? Didn't Angelica told you to come have diner with me downstairs?" Like hell I am.
"I'm not hungry"
"But you need to eat, you haven't anything solid for the last week. You'll dehydrate and maybe die"
"Didn't you heard what I said the other day? I want to die, so I'm going to starve myself" the look in his eyes told me he didn't feel sorry for me.
"I don't care if you want to die, but I need your help first, then you can die. I'm not going to let you princess"
"Stop calling me that. By the way, why did you tell Angelica to call me princess? I'm not a princess, most importantly not yours. My name's Lisa Rickard use it"
"I'm going to call you whatever I feel like it, so don't push me" he walked towards me and stopped in front of me "You're coming downstairs this minute or I'm going to lock you again in the basement"
"Fine, but just to eat, then I'm coming back here, alone and sleep it off"
"Don't care what you do, I just want to use you and throw you again with your grandma" Use me?
I went downstairs with the PJ's and the look on his face told me he was mad. "Hi everyone, I hope my presence don't bother you" that exact moment the scary man appeard behind me and scared me to death I didn't dare to speak again the whole night.
When I was done eating I hurry upstairs to 'my' bedroom. Once inside, alone and scared, I cried myself to sleep.
I dreamed of Mateo killing me, which made me more terrified of him, I couldn't sleep anymore so I went for a tour of the 'house' more like a castle.
The hall had, a kind of golden flowers painted from roof to floor, the bathrom was magnificent, I didn't notice earlier. The kitchen had marble cabinets and they seemed to be from the 19th century, the living room was my favorite room in the whole house, everything was black and white, the sofas were black, the armchair and ottoman were white, tha stand was white and the 55' flat screen was perfect. The courtains were black with white flowers, and the bookshelf had like a million books. PERFECTION!
I was so hooked up with the tour, that I almost enter what it seemed a private office. Almost because someone spoke "Enjoying the tour?" I drop a little statue I had in my hands.
"You scared the life out of me" it's the scary man, Mateo "I'm sorry I broke this, I'll glue it back again.
"Don't worry it's not mine, it's the boss's, worry because you broke it. He'll be furious when he'll find out" he came towards me and touch my hand "You're beautiful princess" I slipped from his touch and walked towards the stairs.
"Thank you, good night" I went to my room and didn't dare come out again.
At 5am I heard the thing I didn't wanted to hear "Who the hell broke my trophy?" Yeah, he was furious.
Couple of minutes or even seconds, he came to my room and yelled at me "Why the fuck did you broke this Lisa?" Wow, he used my name.
"Because Mateo scared me last night"
"What were you doing that he scared you?"
"I couldn't sleep so I went for a tour and when I tried to open a door he came from behind me and scared me. I'm sorry"
"Who told you to walk around the house? This is your room, no one told you to come out, when I say you can, you go, if I don't stay here like a good girl you are"
"Ha, I'm your prisoner in this goddamned house and I can't go outside the room? I thought I could because I wasn't chained like a dog and the door wasn't locked from the outside. Sorry I was curious and bored my Lord" he slapped me.
"Don't mock me Lisa, my patience is as big as an ant"
"Wow you learned how to say my name" I said sarcastically which gain me another slap.
"Stop being sarcastic and go to bed so I can chain you" What?
"No, anything but that" now I'm scared of this man.
"Fine. I'll lock the door from the outside" he left and I felt much hopeless than the past couple of days. And I want to die now more than ever.
