CHAPTER NINETEEN
~
He came out from the bathroom after taking his bath, he didn’t spare me a look as he got dressed for work. I feel so cold, I hugged the duvet tight crying my eyes out.
He didn’t even seem bothered, how can someone be so heartless like this!. What did I do wrong to deserve all these!. I should have pulled away from him when he embraced me last night, I was a fool to let him sleep close to me.
Maybe he is right…., am a curse!. If not momma, papa and aunt Clarissa wouldn’t have died. Why is my life like this?. Why did God create me if am meant to suffer in life?!!!.
The sound of the door brought me back to earth. I didn’t even realize he already left. That ba$tard!!. I hate him just as I hate my life!..
I managed to stand up on my feet as I landed on my bu.tt. I winced in pain, tears streaked down my cheeks.
I looked at the direction of the door when it opened.

Rachelle.

I knocked on my master’s bedroom door as I waited for a response from Ma’am Riley but I heard nothing. I knocked again, still the same. I saw Master Scott when he came out so it shouldn’t be locked, I thought. I twisted the knob and got in.
“Ma’am!.” I exclaimed with shock.
Holly !. I closed the door, rushed to her and knelt down next to her since she’s sitting on the floor, un¢lad.
She looks really pale, so many bruises on her back and face. Who did this and how come!!!.
“What happened ma’am?.” I asked, very puzzled to see her in this state.
She sobbed not uttering a word, I stood up, grabbed the duvet and used it to cover her, she’s shivering and nked.
“Ma’am, please who did this to you?.” I asked again referring to the bruises on her body.
Before she could open her mouth to speak, I caught a glimpse of something disturbing on her thighs and on the bed, I quickly understood what happened.
B……bIood?. Oh no!!.
“God…..! Master Scott….he raped you?.”and I muttered low.
She nodded slowly as she bent her head low.
I pulled her to close to me and hugged her. “Am so sorry ma’am. Everything will be alright, just believe. Please wipe your tears, it’s alright.” I pat her shoulder gently.
She pulled away from my embrace and nodded slowly.
Gosh…..I felt so much pity for her. She’s too kind for all these, master Scott is very wicked to have done this to her!. How could he have sx with her without her will. Has he forgotten that this is just a contract??!. How cruel of him!!. Gosh!!.
I felt so angry but I didn’t show it cause I don’t want ma’am Riley to be more upset. She deserves to be happy and I’ll try my best to make her smile again.
She is like my elder sister and it pains me so much to see her this way. I wish things goes well for her, I wish her agreement with Master Scott ends soon cause she’s really getting hurt.
“Please ma’am, don’t cry anymore.” I begged cause her tears was still streaking down her cheeks.
“How could he do this to me Rachelle?. I was just trying to make him realize I….” She stammered with shaky breathe.
“Ma’am, please don’t do this to yourself. Please stop the tears, I beg of you. Life’s goes on, you’re hurting yourself.”
“What…if….what….if I become pregnant Rachelle.” She panics.
“You won’t ma’am, I promise.” I muttered softly trying my best to comfort her.
“I won’t?.” She asks with a very very sad and weak face.
“No.” I faked a smile.
“Okay.” She beamed a smile as she breathes out heavily.
Oh good Lord!. I feel so heartbroken!. God please don’t let that wicked man plant a seed in her!. Lord please!!.
“So uhm, let’s get you cleaned up. Breakfast is ready, I came to tell you that.” I said.
“I don’t feel hungry.” She tells.
“Remember Master Scott might get upset if he didn’t sight you at the dinning room.” I reminded her.
“He’s still around?.” She asked with frightened eyes.
“Yes.”
Oh poor ma’am Riley!. Look at what Master Scott has turned her to….she’s really scared of him…..gosh! I feel her pain!.

Riley.

I feel to relaxed to have Rachelle as my personal maid. She always makes me feel less worry about everything, am so happy she’s always with me whenever am down.
She helped me up to my feet again as we both walked to the bathroom. She helped me get into the bathtub.
“I’ll go clean up the duvet, please call me when you’re done.” She says with a bright smile.
“I will.”
She was about to walk out but I called her back.
“Melissa..”
“Yes ma’am.” She spun around to face me.
I nibbled on my lower lip, sniffed back the tears that dared to fall from my eyes and voiced out low.
“Thank you.”
She smiled. “Please don’t mention ma’am Riley. If you’re happy, then I am too.”
“I….” I was speechless, it’s really touching to hear that from her. How kind of her to say such to me.
“I’ll be in the room.” She tells and walked out.
I let the warm water run on my skin as I bit the side of my cheek. Gosh…..!!. It hurts, the bruises on my body. I controlled myself not let out a scream. I whimpered as the water kept running on my body.
“I hate you Scott Wilson!.” I whispered.

I came out from the bathroom, Rachelle already selected the clothes I’ll be wearing. She’s so kind, she reminds me of aunt Clarissa. God…I miss her so much. I pray you rest in perfect peace momma.
“Thinking about her?.” She asks jolting me out of my thoughts.
“Huh?.”
“Aunt Clarissa..” She said.
How did she know….?. She must have known me so well.
“Yeah. I miss her so much.” I smiled wearily.
“I know she’s happy with you in heaven, and also proud of you for making this decision.” She tells.
“But…”
“You did it for aunt Clarissa, you wanted to save her life.” She interrupted.
I exhale out deeply and nodded trying to convince myself she’s right. It isn’t my fault she died, am not a curse!. Scott…he’s wrong. Yes!. He is wrong!.
I dried myself, applied body lotion and put on the floral gown Rachelle kept for me.
I sat on the small stool facing the mirror as she helped me in styling my hair.
“Rachelle.” I called.
“Yes ma’am Riley?.”
“Are you good at makeup?.” I inquired and looked at her from the mirror.
“Uhm….yeah a little. Why do you ask ma’am Riley?.”
“I’d love to hide the bruises on my face with makeup.” I said.
“Alright then ma’am.” She nods obediently.

“You look tired son, are you alright?.” Mom asked immediately I sat on the dinning chair.
“Am fine, work was very strenuous yesterday.”
“Oh sorry about that dear.”
“Where’s Riley?.” Sister Yuri who just joined us, queried with a small smile.
“She’s still asleep.” I replied.
“Oh….that’s good cause she has to rest, she doesn’t have to stress herself.” Says mom.
I almost scoffed but I controlled myself, yeah of course she’s gonna rest cause i really fked her hard. That bch, who does she think she is huh?!. Trying to tell me what to do??. So pathetic!.

Riley.

“Honey….” His mom rose up to her feet to hug me. I bit my lip in agony when her hands patted my back.
It still hurts, thank God the cloth I wore didn’t expose my back, if not they would all have seen what evil Scott did to me.
“Good morning mom.” I greet as we disengaged.
“How was your night dear?. Your husband told us you were resting, are you alright?.”
“My night was fine mom and am alright.” I replied and glanced at Scott who had a smirk on.
Evil man!.
“Let’s eat darling.” Says Sister Yuri.
I sat in between mom and Scott as we began eating.
“Do you like the periwinkles?.” Tonia asked.
“Huh….yes.” I say.
“Okay.” She smiled weirdly. I noticed she’d give me a dirty look whenever mom’s or Sister Yuri is facing me.

I was in total discomfort as we ate but I just smiled pretending like nothing is wrong with me.
