AN ATTACK IN THE MANSION I
CHAPTER SIX
SARAH'S POV
"Get some rest dear before coming downstairs."
"Okay ma'am."
"You can just call me Lady Kathy like everyone else calls me or just Kathy but I love it when I'm being called aunt."
"Okay ma'am. I mean aunt."
"That's more like it. Get some rest, okay. I need to go check on Max again."
"Alright." I replied as she gave me a broad smile before exiting the room.
I was mesmerized by the beauty of the room I would be staying in. It was nothing compared to my previous bedroom. Everything was well beautified with expensive exterior designs and the bed was queen size which I've always dreamed to lay on.
I fell flatly on the bed feeling the silky and comfy bed sheet and imagining how life would have been for me if I was born into a wealthy family.
I pushed the thoughts off my mind and got off the bed to freshen up. The bathroom was extremely equipped with everything I needed.
The moment I stepped out of the bathroom, I heard a knock on the door which got me a bit frightened.
"Who is it?" I inquired.
"It's me, Kathy. Can I come in?"
"Please, come in. I didn't know it was you." I apologized, the moment she stepped in.
"It's alright dear. I brought you something to eat." She said, dropping the tray on the bed side table.
"Thanks a lot."
"It's okay dear. Once you're done eating, you can come downstairs so I can show you around."
"Okay ma'am."
"Remember, it's Kathy, okay." She smiled.
"Ohh.. I forgot."
"You'll get used to it. I'll leave you to eat your lunch and relax."
"Yeah, sure." I uttered before she left.
**
I didn't know when I fell asleep but I guess I spent a lot of time sleeping.
I got off the bed to wash up my face in the restroom before proceeding downstairs to meet Mrs Kathy.
I got downstairs and found maids busy all around the place. I guess this is how everyday looks around here.
I stopped one of the maids who was passing around to inquire about Aunt Kathy.
"Please, where's aunt Kathy?"
"She's in the kitchen ma'am. I can show you the way to the kitchen. I'm also going in that direction." She answered nicely.
"Okay. Thanks." I murmured and followed after her.
We got to the kitchen and found a few of the maids and Aunt Kathy busy with lunch.
"You're finally awake dear?" She asked as I walked over to her.
"Yeah. I guess I was so exhausted."
"It's fine dear. I'm glad you feel refreshed." She smiled, and turned towards one of the maids. " Ana, you can instruct them on what to do next."
"Okay ma'am." The maid responded.
"Come, child I'll show you around." She said, pulling my hand as we both walked out of the kitchen.
JAYDEN'S POV
I was having a meeting with the investigator whom I assigned to my late wife's case when a knock came on the door.
"Come in." I stated, after clearing my throat as Henry walked in.
"Boss, it's an emergency."
"What emergency?"
"The maid is dead."
"How's that possible? I thought I left her case under your watch?"
"Yes boss but I think there's an imposter who must have poisoned her."
"F**k! Damn it! I don't know how it's going to happen but make sure you find that imposter and bring him to me." I roared with blazing anger.
"Okay boss." He affirmed with a bow and left.
"I feel so frustrated right now! I don't know how the culprit is always a step ahead of me."
"I promise to keep looking for the trace of the murder."
"I don't have that much time. I'm extremely impatient to get to the bottom of all these cases."
"I'm most certain I'll find a clue this time around, boss."
"Just give me a call if anything comes up. You can go now."
"Sure boss." He responded and walked out of the study.
I need to clear my head right now. I might do something crazy if I set my foot in the torture room.
I picked up my phone and strolled towards my son's room to check up on him.
The moment I stepped inside the room, I found the nanny telling him a story which they were so engrossed in that they didn't notice my presence.
"Hmm... Champ!"
"Daddy!" He called out and rushed towards me.
"I can see my little champ is having fun today."
"Yes daddy. Auntie is telling me a story about a prince and a poor girl."
"Is that so? Do you like her?" I asked, taking my gaze towards her.
"Yes daddy. I want her to stay with me forever."
"Okay champ." I chuckled, before putting him down while he rushed over to hold Sarah's hand.
I'm quite surprised my son is already attached to her on her first day. I wonder what my son sees in her to like her this much?
"Make sure you don't influence him with words that are not real."
"Ok..okay sir. I promise."
"That doesn't mean I won't keep an eye on you just because he's attached to you."
"I promise I didn't do anything sir." She stammered.
"Have fun champ. I'll come check up on you later, okay?"
"Okay daddy." He smiled before pulling his nanny towards his bed.
I haven't seen my son this happy and free around anyone except me but it turned out he's so free with this total stranger.
I need to see aunt to be sure this lady hasn't cast a spell on my son.
NIGHT
I was on my way to the torture room to make a living hell out of the imposter who got caught while trying to escape when Henry rushed up to me looking worked up.
"What is it this time around?" I demanded.
"Boss, we're under attack." He dropped the bomb.
"How many are they?"
"About sixty or more, boss. I don't know how they got access inside but I'm sure someone got them in."
"Let me worry about that. Make sure everyone locks up their door and ensure my son doesn't hear a single sound. Those intruders don't know who they're messing with." I roared, heading back to my room to take my guns.
I'll bloody spill their blood all over this mansion and make sure they experience agonizing pain before their death.
I won't leave any single soul alive and will make sure their last day on earth is beyond hell.
I got to my room and picked my favorite Colt M1911A1 gun and Springfield M1903 making sure they were fully loaded along with extra bullets before making my way through the hallway in rage.
