The Devil's Girl

IV

Donte left the room right after speaking to me. The blonde man named Luca came over to me and untied my arms and legs. I was still fearful that he might hurt me, so I remained vigilant as he took the rope off.

"Follow me," he demanded and started walking towards the door. I stood up and followed him up the stairs. Once we made it up the stairs and into a hallway, Luca scanned a card against the elevator and the door opened.

We stepped inside the elevators and it was the grandest looking thing I had ever seen. Gold panelling surrounded the walls and classical music rang through the speakers. There were 5 floor buttons in the house I was staying in and Luca pressed floor 2.

The elevator quickly shot us up and Luca and I stepped out of the elevator. He shuffled us through the maze-like hallways until he stopped us in front of a door. He opened the door and brought me into a gorgeous room.

There was a huge queen bed in the middle with a golden chandelier above it. The gold headboard made me feel like a princess when in reality I was a prisoner. There were a dresser and TV in the corner and two doors opening into a closet and an ensuite washroom.  There was also a black dress sitting on my bed that was my uniform.

I gritted my teeth at the sight because I couldn't believe Donte was going to make me work in this. The dress was so short it looked like it couldn't even cover my but. But at least it had buttons all the way up to almost my neck so at least it wasn't revealing there.

There were balcony doors that led to chairs overlooking a huge garden. The bedroom was bigger than my entire condo in New York.

The garden had flowers all around it and a bunch of different benches to sit on. If I was ever allowed outside, I could totally see that becoming my favourite spot in the house.

"I'm only going to go over this once so listen up," Luca broke me out of my daze. I turned to face him so I could hear what he was saying.

"There are 5 floors in the house, so you need to know your way around. Floor 1 is where you just were, so don't go down there unless you're hoping for a fate far worse than death. Floor 2 is the maid corridors and where your room is. Floor 3 is the kitchen and dining room and where you'll be primarily working. Floor 4 is the living area and offices. Floor 5 is off limits. Under no circumstances do go up there and if you're foolish enough and do, you'll be executed on the spot. Understood?" He finished and I gulped.

I wonder what was on floor 5 that was so secretive that I couldn't even know what it was. From what I was gathering, it was probably Donte's and the rest of his goonies' rooms.

"Understood," I responded back and was given a card.

"This card unlocks the door to your room and opens the elevator for you. You must also keep it on you at all times because it is your identification card and you only get one. If someone asks you for it and you don't have it on you, you'll be brought to Donte and will be severely punished. You are required upstairs in the kitchen in 15 minutes to speak with Ms. Bella the head cook and maid so get changed." Luca said and I nodded.

He left the room and after being told so much information, I felt like my head was going to explode. I didn't even know how I was going to find my way back to the elevator because this floor was so confusing.

I got changed into the dress and buttoned it all the way up. It was extremely tight on me and hugged all my curves. I wasn't exactly the skinniest person in the world, so it felt like my whole body was on display. I kept tugging on it in hopes to make it longer but to no avail. I let out a sigh and just accepted that the dress was short.

I walked out of the room and tried to find the elevator. I tried to follow back the path Luca took me on, but I ended up hitting a dead-end wall.

"Need some help?" A man smiled at me. He had brown hair and brown eyes and was dressed in all black, so he was a maid like me. He looked around my age and had a warm smile on his face, so it seemed safe to talk to him.

"Um, I can't seem to find the elevator and I need to get to the kitchen," I asked hoping he could point me in the right direction.

"I'm actually heading there now so I'll show you the way. I'm Adrian by the way." He introduced himself and stuck out his hand to shake mine.

"Okay, thank-you Adrian. I'm Liz," I introduced myself and shook his hand. He began walking to the elevator and this time I made a mental note to figure out how to get there from my room.

"Is it your first day?" Adrian asked as we waited for the elevator.

"Yea it is, I guess it's pretty obvious right? Me aimlessly walking around was probably a tip off." I joked trying to make conversation. It would probably be best that I made at least one friend here to help me transition.

"No, it's not that, actually we get so many new maids constantly that it's hard to keep up. But when I see a pretty girl lost, I help." He replied and we walked into the kitchen.

Adrian had to get to work once we got to the kitchen, but he pointed me in the direction of Ms. Bella. She was an older lady with grey hair but that didn't stop her from yelling at everyone in the kitchen who were walking around frantically.

"Ah, you must be Ms. Liz," Ms. Bella said as I approached her. She seemed quite intimidating but quite sweet at the same time, I could tell that she and I were going to get along just great.

"Maddie, come over here," Ms. Bella summoned a girl. She walked over to us and right off the bat I was getting very bad vibes from her. The girl had fake bleach blonde hair and had on the same dress that I was wearing.

But instead of wearing the dress the way I did; she had the front of her dress unbuttoned so her breasts were on full display.

"You called me over?" She asked condescendingly to Ms. Bella. She looked over at me and gave me an up and down look over before a smirk was planted on her face.

"Liz this is Maddie, Mr. Capretta's private maid. Now, Maddie, I need you to show Liz the ropes during dinner and for all meals for the next day," Ms. Bella told her.

"Of course, I love helping the new maids," Maddie spat out. The way she made the word maid sound, almost like I was less than her because I was just a plain old maid.

"Perfect, you two can go over to dinner now," Ms. Bella dismissed us.

I was hopeful that dinner would go well. What could be so hard about serving people food and drink?
