CHAPTER TEN

14:30 '' Thompson's Mansion '' Room '' New York '' USA.

Elisabeth.

It's been about two hours and still nothing from the boys. I woke up twenty minutes ago, I'm very tired and I want to go home. What delay is this?

'' Boredom. '' I say, looking at the ceiling once more, I've walked around this huge room too much.

I almost fall asleep again and the boys come into the room, startling me again.

“That was nice. '' Mr. Thomas speaks with a big smile and the others are smiling too.

“Yeah, I have to agree, they were really hot. '' Mr. Alex says, satisfied.

I swallow hard. I hope it's not what I'm thinking.

'' We can go? I'm really tired and I still have to work tomorrow. '' I pronounce it, without any fuss.

They look at me and nod.

'' Let's go. After that huge fuck we needed a shower.

This really hurts my heart.

Does it mean that I belong to them, but they don't belong to me? This is so unfair. I hold back the urge to cry and then we leave. I follow them with my head down and as we go down the stairs, I hear a female voice calling their attention.

“Whenever you want sex again just call, hotties. '' A very beautiful woman says, with a wide smile on her face.

I watch them and they all smile big, which makes me even worse.

“Definitely delicious. Sir Alex winks at her.

We make our way to the car and I get in without saying a word because I might end up crying in front of them.

How could they do this to me? What do they really want with me?

The path to the mansion is completely silent, I mean, on my part, as they are talking about something I don't feel like paying attention to. The only thing I want to do right now is lie in my bed and cry because this is killing me inside, I just want to get it all out, this pain, this agony.

I let out a sigh and cross my legs, leaning my head on the car window and then close my eyes, trying to hold back my tears that really want to come down. I don't know how many minutes have passed, but soon the car stops and the next thing I know, we're already at the mansion. I don't wait for them to get out of the car and, as I enter the house, I come across the snakes that, when they see me, begin to whisper among themselves.

I ignore this and head to my room quickly, locking the door behind me. I kick off my heels and run to my bed, throwing myself on it and starting to cry and cry. I cry so much that I end up falling asleep.

****

I'm surprised I slept all afternoon. I look at the clock on the desk seeing that it's half past seven in the morning, stretch and feel my head throbbing a little, probably due to crying yesterday.

I get out of bed and go to the bathroom to do my business. I take off yesterday's dress and put it in the laundry basket, I go to the sink and stare at my reflection. I'm done, my eyes are very puffy and I have dark circles around them.

I just want to disappear now.

I take my toothbrush and put the paste on, starting to brush my teeth looking like the living dead, not wanting to do anything at all in this place. I just want peace, but I know those snakes are going to try to take my peace today. I finish brushing my teeth and step into the shower, letting the hot water run over my body, which makes me let out a long sigh of relief.

That's what I needed, a shower to try my body's frustration.

****

Once I'm done showering, I walk back into the bedroom with the towel around my waist. I go to the closet, grab a pair of black jeans and a black long''sleeved shirt. Duly dressed, I leave my room, slowly going down the stairs and heading towards the kitchen, already mentally preparing myself to receive the poison of those wretched breakfast snakes.

I keep ignoring it, because I might lose my temper and go after those lab rats. I go to the closet and get a box of cereal, putting a portion on my plate, later, I go to the fridge to get the milk and complete the meal to finally sit down to eat.

The nasty snakes never get tired of making jokes, but my head is not very well and my heart is aching.

“Why are you so quiet? Didn't the night go so well? Victoria asks, laughing with the girls.

It seriously pisses me off.

“Look here, you goddamn bitch, go fuck your ass, bitch! Do you want to take my patience? So go ahead and take it off, because I'm going to wipe out your ass! I shout, going to her, stopping in front of her.

Everyone else looks at me, startled by my outburst. They can't say anything else, causing complete silence, until a voice comes from the kitchen.

'' What's going on here? '' It's Mr. Alex.

We duck our heads as he approaches.

"N''it's nothing, Mr. Alex. '' Victoria says, scared.

“That's not what I saw, so what's going on? I feel his gaze on me, but I don't say anything, let alone look at him. "Aren't you going to answer the fucking question?" ’ he asks rudely.

Deep breath.

“Nothing to worry about, sir. It was just a girl thing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do. '' I speak, without any fear and pass by him, leaving him behind.

I know I might suffer the consequences, but right now, I don't want to talk to any of them, much less look at their faces.

I go to Alex's room and hurry to make his bed, I don't feel like being stopped by him or his brothers. In the bathroom, I grab the laundry basket and head to the laundry room, bumping into Dylan and Thomas on the way.

I walk past them without saying anything and put Alex's dirty clothes in the machine. Once I have them on, I plan to head to Dylan's room, but I'm stopped by Lorenzo.

"Where do you think you're going?" '' Question.

“Doing my duty, then, excuse me. “I try to pass, but Mr. Christopher stops me.

“You're only leaving if we want you to, because we tell you to, Elisabeth.

I face him, without any fear.

“I'm really busy at the moment and if you want some fun, call the bitches of the other maids or that friend of yours from last night, because I'm really busy and I can't pay attention to you. '' I dodge his arms, following to the living room.

I refuse to speak to them.
