CONFINED
Adia tossed around the bed as she yawned loudly, her eyes sprang open immediately the lights from the windows hit her, she immediately sensed someone was in the room.
“Oh geez” she exclaimed on seeing an elderly woman there.
“Who are you?” She asked startled by her presence.
“Am so sorry young miss if i scared you, am Samantha, your personal maid, master Sebastian has told me about your condition and the type of diet you need, so you’ll have to freshen up and come downstairs now” Samantha informed as Hope shook her head.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
” Thanks,” she muttered getting down from the bed.
” I’ll summon the other maids to cone help with your bath” added Samantha as Adia quickly wrapped her hands around her chest nervously,
Were they seriously gonna help her bath, she’s not a fucking baby, she thought.
” Well I’m fine with that, my hands are working perfectly well, I’ll go now” Adia said pointing to the bathroom as she slided inside.
*****
Adia got out of the bathroom to see a dress already prepared for her, immediately after she got dressed she heard a knock on the door.
” Come in” she invited as the door opened slowly.
” Miss breakfast is served” a maid informed her head down.
” I’ll be down in a minute” responded Adia amused by the royal treatment she was receiving.
She walked out of her room only to be greeted by a magnificent view, she didn’t get the chance to admire the other night, seeing it was dark and there was no one around, but now, she’s taking her good time to admire the house.
The house was beautifully decorated, and big that she was sure she would lost her way left alone.
“After you,” the maid gestured leading Adia downstairs.
Adia looked towards the dining table, and saw Samantha present there, with a man dressed in a black suit holding a stern expression, an old man who looked like the butler and some maids. Sebastian was no where to be seen.
“Young miss” they all bowed as another maid dragged out a chair for her as she sat down, the royal treatment giving her an unsettling feeling at the depths of her stomach.
“What would you like for breakfast?” Samantha asked.
“Anything light would do” Adia answered sheepishly, trying to get used to the unwevering eyes on her.
Samantha signaled a brunette haired maid who served Adia with scrambled eggs and toast bread.
“Thanks” Adia muttered eating her breakfast slowly.
*****
“Miss Adia” Mickelson bowed walking up to Adia, who was on her way upstairs to her room.
“Hello”
“Am Mickelson, your assigned guard” he introduced himself as Adia shook her head.
“Master Sebastian mentioned to take you round the house, so you’ll get familiar with the things around” he continued.
“Where’s Sebastian?”
“On a business trip, and you need not worry, everything you need will be at your disposal, come on, let’s introduce you to the others” Mickelson led the way as Adia followed behind him, finding herself admiring the beautiful but empty house.
“As you already know, this is Samantha the head maid” Mickelson introduced.
“And this is George the butler, he manages the affairs of the house”
“Hello” Adia waved with a smile.
“Good day young miss” George the butler bowed in respect, making Adia feeling uneasy by the kind reception she’s receiving from the elderly.
“And this is Jared, your personal driver, you’ll only need him when you’re going out, if you need anything, you can press the bell at your bedside and any maid will come attend to you” Mickelson stated as Adia noted everything down.
“Now let’s proceed” added Mickelson as he went on to show Adia round the house.
“Here have this” Mickelson handed over a phone to Hope as they got to her room after finishing the little tour.
“Just Incase you need to make a call, I guess you’ll want to speak with your sister”
“Thanks so much Mickelson”
“Not a problem miss, have a good day, feel free to call anyone, if you need any help”
Mickelson conceded helping Adia to shut the door.
*****
It’s been a month now, since Adia came to live with Sebastian, this last month has been undescribable for Adia.
She felt like a locked soul as if she was being convicted. It has been going on smoothly with the workers around as they helped a great deal in keeping her company.
Since the night Sebastian left her here, she hasn’t even caught a glimpse of him, and each time she asked Mickelson, the response was that he was on a business trip.
She called her sister and friend a couple of times as she wasn’t allowed to leave the house, she’s only allowed to walk around the gardens nothing else, she felt like a prisoner here.
All she does is eat, sleep, chat with Samantha and George as the other maids kept their distance.
Mickelson was another case as he was always serious as hell and straight to business.
She didn’t even hear from Evans nor Ace, it was as if they ghosted her.
This particular morning, she was woken up by a knock on the door.
“Young miss” Samantha called walking in.
“Samantha, hey, I guess I over slept today” uttered Adia.
“You need it young madam, lots of rest is required from you” Samantha stated as Adia nodded.
” Do you want breakfast here or you’ll come down?”
” I’ll come over” responded Adia.
” Young madam, master Sebastian has sent a message” Mickelson announced as Adia looked up with enthusiasm.
” What did he say?”
” You’re to get ready by noon for a dinner party, you’re to be his plus one, he has sent your dress and the stylist will arrive soon ” reported Mickelson making his way to leave the room.
“I’ll see you down stairs” Samantha said shutting the door to give Adia space to get ready.
Adia inhaled deeply, jumping on the bed happily, she was finally going to leave this prison after being locked up for over a month.
She had lot’s of questions to ask Sebastian, and some querying to do, Fi she refused to be locked up.
She rushed into the bathroom wondering what kind of party Sebastian was taking her to.
