Bathing Marathon

A sigh slipped out of her lips,as she sat by her window side, staring outside.

She loved the view of the huge,tree from her window,a gardener was mawning the lawn,and there were three maids sitting on a street bench under a tree shade,giggling about something.

The estate was beautiful; it took away her worry for little second, when she had arrived firstly,she in so much panic that she did not look around the estate; it's been five days since, she was taken away from the darkroom knowing she would stay there for a long time,she had to get acquainted with surroundings as the estate was a very large one

There were securities at the gates guarding the estate,each of the ten gates was guarded by over twenty guards,who kept watch day and night.

They were housed in three mansions and that everyone lived in the Mansion in the estate's,which was where she was staying

The Mansion was very huge and vast, it had three floors;the maids and the house keepers stayed on the first floor,on the second floor there was no-one staying;and the last floor he lived alone.

She wondered why no-one stayed on the second floor and he had the last floor to himself alone,but then she waved away the thought,it was obvious no-one wanted to come close to a dreadful demon like him, thing had been said to her after the day shewas released from the darkroom she'd thought she would meet him that night.

She had stayed awake all night,waiting for a knock on her door,but until morning nothing had happened.

It's been five days but yet she had not slept a bit, every night had been torturing.

She was still lost in her thoughts when sudenly,everyone started running she stood up immediately wondering what was going on ;even the gardener who was pruning had left hurriedly.

She wondered if they had been attacked;and she quickly locked her door her heart panting heavily,although part of her wanted it to be an attack so her terror would be over.

Coming back to the window,she realized that no-one was in sight,not even the sweet little birds that were chirping on the beautiful blossom flower tree

Then she saw,train of cars approach the mansion, she wasn't acquainted with the names of cars butshe knew that they were expensive, they were five in all, all black.

The cars approached slowly and stopped at the entrance of the mansion, the car doors of four cars pulled open and horrid looking men stepped out as they raced to the car in the middle and gently opened it

Nerfetiti's brows creased as she wondered who was so ceremonious that everyone had to run away,then he stepped out he was looking at something on his phone as though everything happening was natural.

He raised his eyes from his phone and said something to his bodyguards and they nodded in unison, she hadn't witnessed him returning to the mansion since she started living there.

This was the first time,so she didn't know that it was the normal routine, she wondered how much evil he had done to imbibe so much fear in everyone;he could not see her from her window so she sat there and watched him talk to his guards.

He looked normal from afar off, his eyes were dark,yes,the terror in them,his fearful aura, one could be seen from where she sat, without those features he looked like a walking god, charming and breathtaking but it was just afar off on a closer look,you,would see the monster for who he was.

As though he noticed her stare,he turned towards her window, Nerfetiti's heart skipped a beat but she was unperturbed,she had put off her light.

There was no how he would know that someone was watching him.As though her instincts were correct ,he looked away and started walking into the mansion.

He had his separate dining room upstairs in fact,he had everything he needed upstairs,thus Nerfetiti waited for some minutes for him to retire up the stairs before leaving her room.

After having dinner,she retired back into her room.She brushed her teeth and took a bath changed into her nightwear then lay down to sleep.

She hadn't spoken to her brother since she left that day,they had taken her phone from her the day they took her to the darkroom.

She hadn't seen those men since then so,she didn't know how she would get it back.

She wanted to know how he was faring if, he was okay.

Before she left,the people her step father owed harassed them, she wondered whether they had come back again.

Not very long afterwards, Nerfetiti drifted to sleep. She hadn't slept in days and her eyes felt so weak.

She hadn't slept for up-to fifteen minutes,when she heard a knock on her door she waited to hear it again and the second time it was louder with a little impatience slipping through.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes with,the back of her hands,she stumbled from the bed and unlocked the door, the sleep in her eyes vanished when she saw the older woman standing with three maids on the other side;she had learned from the maids that the elderly lady's name was Annabelle and she was one of the boss's trusted servants

Nerfetiti wasn't surprised,she was just a female replica of his attitude.

As soon as Nerfetiti opened the door,the older Lady pushed the door open and stepped in,followed by the three maids

One maid held a basket in her hand, Nerfetiti noticed that clothes were wrapped inside.

Her heart began beating against her chest, there was only one thing she could think of at that moment and although she didn't want it to be true,there was no other explanation for their presence.

"Go take your bath." The older woman Annabelle said,not caring to explain why they came.

Take your clothes off"

Nerfetiti's lips trembled but she could not speak she stared at the old lady for a

moment.

"I...I just took my bath." She explained pursing her lips.

"I'm sure you don't want me to repeat myself."Annabelle said,raising her brows.

Nerfetiti bowed her head low and turned towards the bathroom the maids looked at her with pity as though she was a lamb taken to be slaughtered, they could only imagine what evil she must have done to their boss to attract his venom.

After taking her bath the older lady pointed at some specific lotions on her vanity table and she applied it after which a maid dried her hair and after applying a sweet-smelling oil let it fall to her back.
