Sold to the Ruthless Master

Lily Pov

“Thanks so much Sir”I said gratefully and he nodded.

“You can prepare your own breakfast”

“Okay sir thanks a lot”I beamed and rush out if the room to keep the clothes.

I got to the room amd I met Mariam there waiting for me as usual.

“How did…”

“He said said I should wash his black car and also prepare my own breakfast since he don’t eat on Thursdays”

“Wow!, I think he’s getting nicer”

“I hope so”I sighed heavily.

“Let me give you a bag, so you can pack the clothes in there”

“Okay thanks a lot”

I folded the clothes neatly inside the small blue bag Mariam gave me.

After that, I sauntered to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for I and Mariam.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I washed the car there after before retiring to the room.

Mariam Pov

I tried fixing the thread into the needle but I couldn’t fix it.

What’s wrong with me?

This isn’t the first time I am using needle and thread for stitching and it doesn’t give me much problems .

“Let me help you fix it”Lily laughed behind me and I turned to her.

“Don’t laugh at me okay, I was just unlucky today”

“Okay”She said rather mockingly and I handed it over to her.

Within few seconds, she was able to fix it and handed it back to me.

I start sewing the dress but shortly, A knock came on the door, Lily went ahead to attend to it and surprisingly, it was Bethany.

“Bethany”I called in surprise and she glare at me.

What’s she doing here?

I realised she was holding an insecticide.

“What are you doing here?”I asked and she scoffed.

“Well, I realize that there are lots of mosquitoes and insects disturbing us in the mansion so I decided to be helpful enough to spray this insecticide in every one’s room”She explained staring around and I scoff.

“But there are no…”

“Other maids in her higher position didn’t argue with me so you shouldn’t try to object to it”

“O… okay”I nodded suspiciously.

“So how are we going to help?”

“The only help you’re going to render is for you to leave this room so I can do my job”

“Okay, let’s leave the room Lily”I said grabbing her hand and we bother exit the room.

Lucian Pov

I put on the white jacket and went ahead to m jewelry box, I open it revealing different sets of jewelries in it.

I realised there’s something missing, My Gold chain, The new chain I bought last week.

I ruffle the box but I couldn’t find it.

What!

Who could have take it there?

Did Bethany entered the room?

Even is she entered the room, that does not give her the right to take my jewelries without my consent.

I quickly pick my phone and dial the guards emergency number, shortly, they came inside they rushed inside the room panting.

“Who entered this room yesterday’s afternoon apart from Lily?”

“No one sir”One of them answered and I scoffed.

Does that mean Lily stole it?

No!, She can never do that, She’s too naive to steal.

“My Gold chain has been stolen”I announced and they all gasp in shock.

“I don’t know who took it, I don’t know”

“I think we should summon Lily, she’s the only one who came her yesterday”

“Bring her here”

Lily Pov

Only God knows where Bethany got this her stupid guts from.

“But what’s the meaning of all this?”I asked quite angry and Mariam scoff.

“I don’t know Lily but I knew she must have something up to her sleeves”

“What is she trying to do?”

“I don’t know Lily, Like I said earlier”She shrugged and almost immediately, She came out of the room.

I sighed in relief and she smirk.

“I’m done”

“Obviously”I mumbled under my breath and was about I enter when a guard came to us.

“Lily, you have to come with me right now, Lucian demands your presence in the room”

“For what?”I asked quite surprised, I just left his room about an hour ago.

What does he want again?

“He will be the one answer that question”

“Okay, I’ll be back Mariam”

“Alright”She nodded and I follow the guard out of the room.
