Celine dragged her bag violently in the quiet road, she was almost tearing up as she walked down the road. Just now, her friend had chased her out of the house because she had refused to be a harlot like her. Celine wished she could go back home but, the men she had borrowed money from in the province would kill her even before she reached the front of her mother and grandmother. Celine missed her mother's cooking a lot and wished she could go home but her mother had told her to run and she would lie to the loan shark that she had died.
Would it be reasonable to go back home after she had been pronounced dead?! Celine blinked her eyes gently as tears filled the bottom of her white eyes with grey iris. She wiped her tears and wrapped her hand around her body while her bag dangled around her small body. As Celine walked farther, she heard some groaning, it became clearer as she walked further. Celine took her face to the side only to see a girl in uniform in a pool of blood. Celine yelled and looked around for anyone but no one was around. She knew she needed to save the girl but she didn't know anywhere in the city. Celine ran to her. She sat beside her, she touched her face and tried to calm her down but it didn't work. At this time, Celine was already shaking very much. She was so scared that the girl would die. The girl had ginger hair and a very pretty face with a small body, she looked very rich as well. Just then, Celine thought that if she could go to every house, she would be able to get someone who would call an ambulance. "I'm coming, please don't give up yet!" Celine panicked and quickly rushed to the streets. After going from house to house, she found someone who called the ambulance. The ambulance arrived within some minutes, they carried the young girl into the car and Celine entered with it. She accompanied the ambulance to the hospital. ^LATEST NEWS!!!! ^^ CHARMAINE LACKADEUX JUST GOT INVOLVED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT, INJURY FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE.^^ Mr. Lackadeux (James) ran out of the shareholders' meeting in a hurry after hearing the news, ten bodyguards followed him until he reached his car. His face was frowned and looked worried with his hands shaking like jelly. He entered a black Maybach which sped off and was followed by two cars: a Lamborghini and Lexus. Meanwhile; Mrs. Lackadeux(Melissa) was at the five-star spa and resort with some of her rich friends, they were getting pedicures and manicures. Mrs. Lackadeux's skin was flawless, dazzling under the light. So many ladies stood beside her doing her manicure and pedicure. Mrs. Lannister who was beside Mrs. Lackadeux suddenly saw the news on her phone and her eyes jolted before she said, referring to Mrs. Lackadeux. "Do you know Anastasia is about to come back to America after four years? I heard she is about to be engaged to the minister's son." Mrs. Lackaduex also opened her eyes, she said nothing but her expression changed greatly Just then, the news popped up. It was about Charmaine being injured. She sprang up immediately the news came to her hear and ran out while her fifteen bodyguards followed behind her. With her robe, she entered the car already crying and wailing because of her daughter. The Lackadeux is said to be the second richest family in all of the world. They have so many companies in all parts of the world and many houses. They have partnerships with the richest and most influential people and this made their life to be more at risk than that of a celebrity. Any little mistake could cause fatality. This was the first time anything bad had ever happened to one of them excluding the incident with the first son of the Lackadeux. At The Hospital: "Are you nut?!" Yelled the matron as she slammed the clipboard one of the nurses had given her on the floor. "Do you even know who we have in the special ward?! It's Charmaine Lackadeux! Charmaine! Charmaine! How can you even say the special doctor is attending to someone else?! Do you want the hospital to be shut down?!!" she yelled with livid eyes. The nurse shook and picked the clipboard immediately and ran away. Celine sat at the reception and watched all of this happen. Ever since she came in with the young lady, the whole hospital had gone crazy like a reality tv show. Just then, sirens were heard from outside, ten bodyguards trooped in, they looked at the whole place with scrutiny before touching the earpiece in their ears and said; "All clear!" Just then, Mr. Lackadeux walked in. His suit dazzled in mightiness, his skin was more clear than that of a supermodel even though he was a man. He was tall and handsome with psychic in all the right places. Then, came in a woman, she was so beautiful and her skin dazzled with so much money. Although her hair was scattered and she was wearing a robe, she still looked more beautiful than twenty different models. "Where is my daughter?!!" Mrs. Lackaduex yelled. It was like an earthquake because she screamed alarmed the whole hospital. "Is this how rich people behave?" Celine couldn't help but think like this when she looked at Mr. and Mrs. Lackadeux. Celine clicked her tongue before picking her bag to go out, she was almost out when the matron pointed to her. "She brought your daughter in!" yelled the matron. Celine didn't think that she would spend her night in the police station that day until one of the guards of the lackadeux took her by the arm like a toothpick and handed her over to the police who didn't take pity on her at all. "But I didn't do anything!!" she yelled almost crying as she was locked in the darkroom.
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?!!!"
The Apple Ipad sprang under his foot, he saw his dad fuming in his Italian turquoise suit while his eyes laid on him. Xavier dropped the bottle of wine before he picked up the Ipad. The news had spread all over the internet and everyone had something to say as always. ^Xavvy King is so arrogant! ^Xavvy King is nothing but a casanova! ^Perks for being rich! Xavier read mostly the hate comments leaving the comments that praised him for being handsome and winning so many awards.
"How can you let things escalate like this?! You have turned worse after the incident and I feel pity for you but you shouldn't turn to this. You're ruining the name I have built for many years all because of that past incident. It's been two years, Xavier! Two freaking years and you still haven't gotten over it!" his father slammed looking at him. Xavier hissed, he threw the Ipad to the wall in anger and wore his white slippers which were laced with real diamonds. His tall features springing and towering over his father. He wore ash-colored track pants and a white tank top that showed off his tattoos and abs, he was perfectly handsome like ten Greek gods' beauty were mashed together. Xavier turned around and sought to walk out. "Your sister wants to see you. You have to come back home, it has been two years since she last saw you. For her health come back to the house. After all, you only returned to Texas because of her," he said. Xavier said nothing and walked away. He had a private pool after his room, he went there and saw Sarah, his assistant typing some things on her MacBook. Danny entered with a smoke in his hand. Seeing Sarah, he kept it and threw it into the pool by his side. He sat on one of the chairs and busied himself with his phone. "Sir, you know I had only a little case of asthma and it's completely gone now." Sarah raised her head with a smile. Although everyone saw Xavier as an arrogant top model, haughty City's most handsome and despicable richest bachelor of the year. Sarah knew Xavier was none of the initials of his titles. The incident changed him and she didn't blame him for being the way he is now. It was his way of keeping sane after the horrible incident. Xavier said nothing, he only kept his face fixed to his phone. "Xavier, Anastasia is back in America!!" Steven yelled as he entered the private poolside. Sarah glared at him as soon as he said it walking in. Xavier rolled his eyes and sighed loudly. "Oops!!" Steven covered his mouth. At The Lackadeux Mansion: All of the maids assembled in the huge living room which dazzled in gold furniture. Celine couldn't take her eyes off the expensive things in the room because she had never seen them before. In her house in the province, they only had an old wooden chair and a mattress. She has never seen anything this fancy in her life so staring was inevitable. They had waited for some seconds before Mrs. Lackadeux walked in. She wore an expensive dinner gown that flattered her unique shape. Her whole body spoke of money and nothing but money. Her skin dazzled under the warm green light. Celine couldn't help but admire her. She could only admire a life like this from afar, she knew she could never get there not with her level of education and poor background. Except, if God performs a surgical miracle on her which she strongly doubted. Mrs. Lackadeux stood in front of the in-house maids, they were ten in number including Mrs. Rose and Michelle. "Although it hasn't been announced on social media, my son is finally back after two years of avoiding Texas completely and I think he is here to stay. Michelle, I know my son is not new to you so you should coordinate the new maids and tell them what and what not to do." She paused and looked at Celine. "You are new, you need to listen to Michelle all the time. Michelle, I told you about the Paula skincare right. Paula Binland has specially invited me to have a shoot with her for the front page of her new skincare line, so you will accompany me." Michelle widened her eyes. "Ma'am, isn't the product launching in China first? Does it mean I will have to go to China with you? What about young master?" Michelle raised her brows. Mrs. Lackadeux pushed her long silky black hair to the back elegantly and shifted her pouty lips before replying to Michelle. "That is why I have called this meeting. You and I know my son can't do without a personal maid, that's why I have assigned Celine to be his personal maid. I trust her and I believe she will do everything in the contract had said. Right, Celine?" asked Mrs. Lackadeux. "Huh?" Celine raised her head. She was busy looking at the particular golden clock in the room that had the picture of Charmaine Lackadeux on it, it was so elegant and rare. "Yes, of course," she replied immediately and smiled. Michelle squeezed her face. As much as she loved to accompany Mrs. Lackadeux for those enticing shoots, she hated that someone else would be working for the young master the whole time he will be in the house. It had been two years and her feelings for her young master hadn't gone. She and Danny had known each other since she was just a baby because she was brought into the house as a baby. Although a maid, she got treated differently from others, and sometimes, she wondered why she was treated differently but she loved it and never questioned them before. "Yes ma," Michelle said and went out to pack her bags. In A Huge Mansion; Paula stood in front of a mirror with three ladies standing beside her and fixing an elegant dress on her. Her hair was super long to her tiny waist which was endowed with waist beads. "Paula, did you hear Xavier is back in Texas?" Asked her personal assistant, Irene. Paula snapped her head to her. "Really?! I can't wait to meet him!" squealed Paula. "How long will you try to seduce this young man? You know after the incident, Xavier hasn't been himself and he is not capable of love. Do you know Xavier has turned into a playboy and he only slept and dump women like he changes his clothes every day? Do you really want to him with that type of man?" Irene asked with widened eyes. Paula's face changed. "Irene, can you mind your Business? I love Xavier and it is him I want to be with. I don't care about any incident, it is past now and I am here now. I will be there for him every time and in no time, he will be mine and mine alone. Why do you think I want to do a shoot with his mom? I want her to like me!" Irene said nothing and faced her Business squarely.
