Wicked Master's Trap

Chapter 1

Listening to the bells ringing Kiara, quickly left the warm bed. In reality, it was never a warm cozy bed, but still, immature Kiara was thankful for having the old and uncomfortable mattress, remembering those days when she had to sleep on the cold floor.

" Gabby... Gabby, please wake up, or we will be late, " Kiara tried to wake up her roommate, worried that they would face another punishment if they didn't arrive on time.

" I want to sleep, " Gabrielle sleepy uttered.

" Gabby... Come on, we will not get any food all day if we reach late, " Kiara sadly muttered.

" Do you call that s**t food? It's better to stay empty stomach than eat those leftovers, but don't worry, I am coming only for you. I don't want my cutie to stay hungry all day, " Gabrielle teasingly spoke while pinching Kiara's fluffy cheeks, making her giggle.

Changing into maids' uniforms, both of the seventeen-year-old teenagers left for their duties. Being the lower in servants' rank, they had to do all the messy work in the mansion, which involved washing dishes, laundry, cleaning washrooms, and many more.

Kiara and her friend Gabrielle quickly stand up in the long line of servants for their attendance.

" Silence, you low lives, " the female superintendent Beatrice yelled, causing the pin-drop silence. Being fifty years old, the lady still looked young and had a fierce and harsh personality.

The lower-grade servants are called lowlives in the Dominic family because they are orphans and, most of the time, sold by their families. Getting bullied and mistreated by the upper-rank assistants was usual for them.

" Sometimes I wonder why we are still living, " Kiara heard Gabrielle whispering.

" Master Asher is returning home. Tomorrow is his taking over the ceremony. I want this mansion to be shining like a diamond by tomorrow. If any of you don't perform properly, you guys will have no food for a whole week, " Beatrice announced, making everyone gulp, even though they had to eat leftover food left by Dominic's family, but still, it was appetizing as expert chefs make it.

Kiara still remembers Master Asher. She was eleven years old when her uncle and Aunty sold her to the Dominic family as a maid after her parent's death. The Dominic family is the most powerful in the country. Not only in politics and business, the Dominic family is the most successful, but there are also many rumors of the Dominic family having roots in the mafia.

Kiara still cherishes those memories of her childhood. Remembering them makes her happy in this harsh life of hers. She still recalls how she was the queen of the hearts of her parents. Her father used to call her Princess. Thinking about her parents, the memories of her childhood came running into her mind.

( Past )

" Mommy, when will we reach? " an eleven-year-old pouted, sitting at the back of the car.

" Soon, Princess, " Her father tenderly said to his beloved daughter.

" Daddy, I am going to take so many rides when we reach, " the little girl excitedly beamed.

" Sure, Princess, " the parents of the little girl smiled.

Listening to the jazz tunes, the happy-looking family was humming along with the playing music when suddenly a heavy huge giant truck came running into the way.

" Carter, " the mother of the little girl shouted on seeing the truck coming their way, making the father of the little girl take a sharp turn, but luck was having none of it, and the car in which the small family was sitting with a hard bump thrash into the big tree which was resided just aside the road.

" Mommy, Daddy, " the little wounded girl cried, but her parents remained silent because their bodies were covered with blood and badly damaged as the front of the car was nearly merged into the giant tree.

The little wounded girl stayed in that crashed car for hours with her lifeless parents, continuously crying and calling for them until she lost consciousness.

..........................................................................

One month later, the little girl who was already facing the trauma of her parent's death, hiding in the corner with a tear-stricken face, heard her aunty yelling, " I am telling you, Albert, I can't take care of this girl. I want her out of this house right now. "

" Try to understand Florence. She is the daughter of my brother. I can't throw her away like that, " the little girl heard her uncle trying to calm his wife.

" I don't want this useless child, Albert, can't you see because of her we haven't spent a single day peacefully? Today she has broken the glass vase, Yesterday she broke the plate, She can't do a single thing, " Florence shouted while glaring at the little Kiara who was standing in the corner, all alone and scared.

" I am sorry, " the little Kiara whispered only to hear her aunty Florence seething with anger, " Get the f**k out of my face, right now, " making the eleven-year-old girl hiccup with fear because no one had ever shouted at her like that before.

Frightenedly, the little Kiara ran to her room and quickly closed the door. " Stupid, Stupid, Kiara, " she slapped herself while weeping that she heard her, Uncle uttering from behind the closed door, " Calm Down, Honey, Give me some time. I will do something about her. "

Wearingly, Little Kiara took out a picture of her parents from her small pink bag and caressed it, " Mommy, Daddy, I have made a mistake again. Aunty Florence says I am useless. Mommy, I promise I didn't know when the plate fell from my hand. I was only going to wash my dirty plate because I don't want to be a burden on uncle and aunty. " the little girl cried while talking to her parent's picture. She wanted to make her Uncle and aunt happy, but she again made a mistake. Every time she tries to do something, something goes wrong. The little girl thought of making her aunty happy by doing the house chores even though she didn't know how to do them. And How could she have known as she was the Little Princess of her parents? The little bundle of happiness for them.
