My head was spinning at their words.They looked at me with worried eyes.
"I don't think you can do this." One of the maids said.
I have to say that, they were very generous and respectful. I wish they stayed here with me . It's still unbelievable that I was so easily tricked. How I could never knew that he was Mrs Anna's son? My brain was aware of the thing that I would have to meet a male owner but I never thought in my wildest dream that I would be living with Travis Xander for six freaking months! Why it is him? Why it couldn't be someone else? He is the guy whom I despise the most. Again, I'm also worried that what will happen now? That ass told me that he won't leave me alone and gonna do something that I will remember the rest of my life so in one word, I'M TOTALLY FREAKED OUT!
"Umm, mam, are you listening to us?" They asked.
"Yeah, so is this all?"
"Yes, we guess." The looked into each other with anxiety noticeable in their faces.
"Look, you don't have to worry, okay?"
All of them nodded together and bowed at me. I spent the rest of the night with them in chatting and helping them to pack their things. I learnt that, some of them were sisters, some of them were friends, some also belonged from the same family. They come from poor families and work here so that they can support their family. All of them looked at me with hopeful eyes. If I don't work properly then, they won't get enough money to support their family. I felt bad for them because I can understand that how it feels if you are penniless. You don't have any other way but to do what you need to do. So, I'm gonna do my best to help them though I feel that things gonna be devastating from now.

With these expectation, they
Keep weighing me down
My heart is begging me to get the hell out
I am gonna live inside the upside
Down
For a minute and pretend
Honey, I am a perfect 10

My heart jumped at the thought but I'm gonna give my everything in it. Even if I fail in doing it, for now I'll act like their saviour, the knight in shining armors.

In the morning they were all ready to go. I wish they would stay here. Then Travis would keep up his good boy façade in front of everyone. Whatever problem we had,we never would fight before these maids. Because, bad news can spread faster than the wind. So, he was careful about it.. He also told them not to worry bout because I'm nothing but a mere caretaker. There is also Allyene to help me. Allyene is the girl who helped me earlier and if the house needed any repairment then he would hire people to keep it in shape. Then why he is letting them go? Because he is the master so things gonna work as he pleases. Still, these girls felt bad for me. They were helpless cause they nothing but follow orders. I stood at the entrance and bade them goodbye and Travis didn't bother to come down. All the maids hugged me as they left. They became close to me in the span of a few hours.

As the twentieth member left , I sighed in relief and closed the door. My body felt tired and worn out that all wanted to do is sleep. A yawn escaped from my mouth when I reached my room. Stretching my limbs, I climbed on the bed and let my body fall on it. The soft mattress dipped at my weight. In a few seconds, my eyes were closed and I drifted into darkness. A minute didn't pass and I shot up from my sleep when I felt bone chilling cold water being poured down on me.

"Aaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!........."

Every fibre of my skin rose up and my body was continuously shaking from the cold water. My teeth were clattering every time I tried to breath. My one hand fisted the bed sheet within it's grasp.
"What the hell is your problem?" I shouted at that bastard.

"Keep your voice down otherwise next time, you won't have the tongue to speak." His calm voice echoed in the room. I smirked at his words. So the devil has showed his real face, huh?
I didn't said anything afterwards. I got up from the bed and turned towards the bathroom but his hand shot up and stopped me. My eyes followed his moves with a confused and irritating gaze. He didn't looked at me but dragged me away from my room.
"WHAT THE HELL! JUST LET ME GO!! I'M ALL SOAKED IN THIS COLD AND....." His hand came around my neck in a split and grabbed my throat tightly.

"I said, Don't.Raise.Your.Voice."

I didn't realise his words because my mind was focused on his hand. My heart pumped faster and my body was getting weaker and more desperate for air. That was the time when I understood that I couldn't breath. He blocked my airpipe with his monstrous strength. I couldn't understand what was happening since my body became so weak and the need to take air became more desirable that I felt that I would pass out any moment. My mind silently said my prayers with half consciousness and right then, he let go of my neck and I fell on the ground immediately. Gulping a lot of air together, I tried breath as much as I can. My throat was itching continuously. As I sat there, my mind was replaying the whole scene and I was thinking that how will I pay him back. I was shocked as well as a little scared. An idea popped in my head and I swung my leg from my sitting position so that it would hit his leg and he would fall down as he was standing near the stairs but it was too slow for him that he stepped aside with ease.

"Don't repeat it next time. I don't wanna kill you without pain."

I knew that he wasn't joking.
Sighing inaudibly, he closed his eyes for a moment.
"Now get up before I kick your ass."
Slowly, I got up and followed him.
"Bastard." I muttered under my breath.
He tilted his head and gave me his signature smirk.
"I know."
After following him, we reached to the big kitchen they had. Sorry, not they it's he.
"Make me breakfast." It wasn't a statement, it was an order.
My inner self was yelling colorful words at him but I ignored it and tried to concentrate in making breakfast because my stomach was secretly growling for food. I decided that I'll change and sleep after I eat my breakfast. I'm a caretaker anyway so it's my responsibility to do my work properly. If it's not for me then I should do these works for those girls who work hard everyday to survive in this cruel world.

So,

Mission Survival, here I come!
