Chapter 2 *

Celine slept in the cell that night and only woke up the next day by the sound of metals hitting each other. With her hair in her mouth, she raised her head and removed the hair in her mouth before looking at the person who had found herself into the cell. "Hi, I'm Attorney Claire. I'm here to take you away from this place," she said and smiled. Just then, her phone beeped. "Oh my goodness, is Xavier seeing this at all?!" she exclaimed while looking at her phone. At the same time, she stretched her hand to Celine and she took it. "Lets go." she whispered and Celine followed her.

They had only taken one step when Claire's phone beeped. "Yes Sarah, did you see the news about Xavier? How can you let him behave like that? You have to find a way to make it varnish from the internet or his dad might just flare up!" Claire said and ended the call immediately. Xavier? Who is Xavier? Celine was curious but she didn't ask. Once Claire dropped the call, she looked at Celine and smiled. "Celine, would you like to work for the lackadeux family, the second richest family in the world?" Celine widened her eyes. "Yes. After you were arrested yesterday, Charmaine Lackadeux woke up and said you saved her. To apologise for what they had done to you, they have planned to give you a job. However, I noticed that you don't have any school background so you can only be a maid in the house of the lackadeux and your debt in your home town has been paid off. Also, you will get better money than the money being paid to average workers on the street of Texas," Claire explained to her understanding and she kept nodding her head in excitement. She didn't believe her life could have such turn around. Was it real that miracles like this happens? Celine couldn't help but say a prayer of thanks to God as she looked at Claire without blinking her eyes. "Tell me you are going to accept the offer," Claire asked with excitement. Celine bit her lower lips before nodding her head gladly. "Of course." "Great! So you have to sign some contract. If you have to work for the Lackadeux family, you have to agree that you won't take any pictures of them or touch them or get in contact with them at all. Because you have gained Charmaine Lackadeux's trust, you will be working in the inner house and you will be seeing them everyday. To ensure safety, you have to sign this contract and if you go against any, you will be eliminated," Claire said with a serious face that scared the hell out of Celine. Celine was distraught, she looked at Claire which shocked face and widened mouth. Claire busted into laughter and touched Celine. "Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you keep the rules and regulations. Celine was so happy because she would finally be able to send money to her mother and buy her grandmother more drugs for her leg. Two Days: Celine had just resumed the lackadeux mansion, she had never seen anything like it before. The exterior designs were designed in the most exquisite and outstanding designs, she walked inside the mansion as directed by one of the guards. When Celine reached the mansion, she was taken to the maid part of the house first where she was introduced to every in-house maid. They were just few because the lackadeux hardly trusted anyone. The head maid, Mrs Rose and the senior maid, Michelle Williams and other maids. Michelle looked very beautiful in her maid short dress and her pride was so much anyone could smell it from afar. "Welcome." Michelle said after Mrs Rose ordered for them to welcome her. Later that day, Celine prepared the food for the lackadeux with Mrs. Rose while Michele served them. It was noted that only Michelle got to serve the lackadeux family at their huge family dining room. "Hi," one of the in-house maids, Amelia walked to Celine who was busy preparing the green tea Mr Lackadeux had ordered. "You are really beautiful you know? Did you see the way Michelle was walking as though she owns the whole mansion. I heard she is the oldest maid in the house, even older than Mrs Rose. It's only because Mrs Rose is old in age," Amelia said. Celine smiled and nodded her head. It was very true. Michelle seemed very proud but Celine didn't care about that. All she wanted was to prepare the coffee and go to bed. After all, her job was only to prepare dinner with Mrs Rose and clean up the large kitchen. After Celine was done, Michelle walked in arrogantly and looked at her poorly. "Give it to me, I have to serve oldest master before he loses his appetite." Celine nodded her head and gave her the tea. By this time, Amelia had gone. After some minutes of cleaning the elegant and rare gadgets kitchen, she went to the room assigned to her and slept off. * * * Mr lackadeux walked into the penthouse in anger, he met the young man smoking and drinking from a one million dollar bottle of wine. His back was well built, he wore a white tank top which revealed his fine tattoos that defined his skin gorgeously. He rested his back on the arm chair and crossed his leg. Mr. Lackadeux reached his front and threw the apple Ipad to his feet. "Are you seeing this, Xavier?!!!"
