Ellie's POV
as I opened my eyes, it was dark in daddy's room, almost forgetting why I was here, then it dawned on me, that he left for London, i sat up and looked around his room for awhile before reading the digital clock and it was 7 at night, then I heard a knock at the door,
"Miss Eliana" it sounded like my butler, Edmen. 
I hopped off of the bed, and opened the door,
"Hi"
"Are you ready for dinner?" He asks, while standing at the threshold of the door, I nodded, forgetting I had a appetite. Butler Edmen then led me down the stairs and, i felt loneliness begin to creep up, as I looked at the long dining table, at the end of it was my dinner, usually I'd see my father sitting at the end of it but tonight is different. all the lights were turned off and only the dining room was illuminating light on the first floor,
"Where are the maids?" I asked curious, i wasn't scared of the dark, but the atmosphere seems so lonely.
"They've turned in for the night" Edmen replies.
The thing about being daughter of a billionaire is that no matter how causal you try to be all the people working for your father are so formal.
I think of them as like robots.
That's why I feel lonely in the mansion.
It basically live here by myself cause I got no one to talk with.
I still would need to go to school.
"May I ask a question Edmen" I questioned as he was standing a bit back from me while I sat down and placed my napkin on my lap.
"Yes, Miss Eliana" Edmen responds.
Gosh it feels like a robotic person I'm talking to.
"Why are the maids turned in early" I continued.
"Does Miss Eliana want them to work?" He says in a monotone.
No it's not what I meant, I almost gave myself a facepalm.
"No I'm just asking why can't they just hang around there is no one else around here" I explained.
"Miss Eliana your father restricted any visitors" He replies.
again with the monotone voice, at this rate I might as well talk to siri, however siri is able to tell jokes.
"But they are maids not visitors" I said.
"Miss Eliana, people who live at the mansion are merely your workers" He replies.
humph, is he saying a maid and a child cannot become friends?
"so bring them to me" I demanded.
"Miss Eliana that is beyond my authority" He replies.
Gosh I'm talking to a wall, isn't the butler the head of all traffics?
seeing as we're getting nowhere I continued to eat my dinner in silence whilst Edmen just stood there ready to take orders from me.
"I am finished" I said, before getting off the chair and making my out of the dining room
Then I saw a younger maid maybe 4 years older than me? She was scrubbing the stairs.
"Miss Eliana" she stood up briskly and bowed.
It's funny to have people bow down...
"why are you scrubbing stairs at this time?" I asked.
Didn't Edmen say all the maids are in their dwelling?  "Ah, Miss Eliana it's because the head maid told me to do as my punishment" The younger maid replies.
I pondered, "aren't you 12?" I questioned,
"Yes, I am. My mother and I sustain a living under your father's care" She replies.
"I don't see anything dirty about the stairs" I said looking up at the stair case it was a couple 100 steps or so.
"What's your name" I asked.
I had to make use of my alone time.
All the workers are- yeah I've said what they are already.
"I'm Skyla" the girl says.
"Let's play" I said.
Which her eyes widened.
"I have work Miss Eliana" Skyla says.
"Call me Ellie" I said.
Her eyes bulged, as if just gave a grand offer.
"I can't do that Miss Eli-" I put my hand up.
"Should I just get rid of you?" I nonchalantly while raising an eyebrow, which she appeared scared.
huh, i didn't realize that just by imitating my father one can become scared.
"Miss Eli- I mean Ellie no please don't" she pleas.
Shouldn't she be in school? I wondered how daddy acquired this person

!? don't tell me he bought her off the dark web.
no nonsense and how do I know about the dark web even..
"I was kidding" I beamed then I saw her perplexed look.
"I have to finish cleaning the stairs Ellie" Skyla says.
I frowned, she is still adamant about cleaning the stairs, I grabbed her hands and marched my way to the dwellings of the maids, it was apparent my sudden appearance made the maids all fluster and suddenly bow. do I look like a goddess or a princess? well of course I am a princess.
