THE ONE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR: Chapter 1 – 10

WRITTEN BY: AUTHORESS MEEYAH
?CHAPTER 10?
MATILDA’S POV
“What kind of stupid imagination is this” I thought as I brought myself back to reality. How I wish I could pull the idiot back and deal with her for having a hand in my elimination… I thought and glared hard at her as she walked away.

Excuse me boss’s brother, I said rudely but trying to sound polite. I won’t leave this house until your brother returns and ask me to leave himself, so I’d like you to keep your money to yourself and spend it on something better… I replied him

Your braveness is one of the reasons why I detest you so much. A maid isn’t supposed to talk back at her boss or his relation, but that isn’t your case as you’ve chosen to be impolite, rude and stubborn.

“Leave now or you’ll forever be tormented in this house” he said and I scoffed. “If only you know how much of a torment I can cost you instead, you won’t be saying this” I thought.

“Here comes her baggages” the errand girl said as she brought my belongings. “Take them outside, she’ll follow up” he replied without taking his gaze off my face.

I decided to go spend sometime with the gatekeeper before the boss arrives, so I left the room and followed the fool carrying my things making him think I’ve obliged to his order.

I wore a sad look on my face as I dragged my feet to the gate where she dropped my things. “And where are you going to with your things?” The gatekeeper asked as soon as I got to his place.

“The boss’s brother asked her to evacuate this building before the boss returns, so open the gate for her so she’ll leave” Mia replied and I laughed slightly but quickly comport myself.

The gatekeeper tutted and gave her a pitiful look. I guess he saw what i did. “I can’t do that without the permission from my boss, so let her stay here and wait till he returns” he replied

What’s all these about, why are you here? The boss asked as soon as he got to the compound.

“I was asked to leave the house but begged to stay till you return so I’ll get the real order from you” I replied

Gabriel asked you to leave my house? He asked.

Not Gabriel, but your brother…I replied and he hissed before walking away. ‘Do you wanna tell me you don’t know that’s his brother’s name? and are you sure you lost your memory? Because you’re not different from the Matilda I once knew, I guess you’re only trying to pretend… Justin, the gatekeeper said.

Is it that obvious? I mean is my acting that bad? I asked and he nodded.
“Well! I did but I’ve regained it since a long time. And now that you’ve known, I swear if you rat me out, I’ll make you get sacked” I replied

You’re now like a sister to me, though I once hated you but I’ve grown to like you, so I’ve got no reason to rat you out. Just make sure you put more effort in your acting so you won’t get noticed… He replied and I put on a smile.

“I’ll get going now, I need to know my fate” I said and scurried away

“Go get your things back inside” boss said immediately I entered and I saw his brother glare at me but who cares. I went further inside and told Mia to go return my things back to my room as ordered by the boss though I’m the boss in my own.

WEEKS LATER
Everything’s been going on well lately and no one has ever been on my nerves again ever since the boss warned them not to. The mood got ruined when one of the boss’s documents got missing and the blame was out on me.

Where did you put my document? He asked again but I remained adamant because I didn’t take anything.

“When have you ever lost anything so important in this house, and what do I know the document is meant for that I’d have to steal it? Ask someone to search the whole rooms if you’re that curious” I replied bravely

“Imma ask you for the very last time, where did you put my document? Look, if I lose this contract, I promise imma kill you” he yelled again but all I did was stand on my ground.

Search everyone’s room for me now!!! He yelled at his bodyguard and he ran off immediately while Gabriel followed. While I and other workers waited for their return as we were ordered to.

“We found it sir” Tom, his bodyguard said as he and Gabriel returned minutes later. “In Matilda’s bag” he added before the boss could even speak and all gazes was directed at me.

Explain how this got to your bag now, before I call the cops to come for you!!! He half yelled and I scoffed.

Why am I not surprised and even scared that I’m being set up? I said unfolding my folded arms. You can call on the cops for all I care, but if I ever receive punishment for what I didn’t do, I swear I’ll make life miserable for who so ever did this to me… I replied

“This is what you get for not answering me when I told you to let this lady go” Gabriel said as he took his seat.

I scoffed as I watched the boss call the cops. “Get on your knees and plead for his forgiveness” Gabrielle, one of we workers whispered to me.
Hi Peacemaker to add you to d stories +2348037873157
“I want y’all to know I didn’t lose my memory, all I wanted was a shelter which I’ve been receiving untill now… I said and they looked at me again

What!!! The boss said obviously shocked at my sudden confession

“I’m sure you know who I am. I’ll be coming back for you all. You may send me back to the street when I return, but I’ll make sure I find the real culprit and hand him or her to the cops before leaving your house. I really don’t mind being a beggar once again” I said even though I’ll be sad to be one again.

What’s with this bluffing? Gabriel asked and I shot him a glare.

The cops arrived minutes later and cuffed my hands as they’ve been told to.

I followed them as instructed but not without taking a glance at my two suspects.
