Untied

1767 Words
"Ahhhhh!" Valencia yawned and stretched her sore body tiredly. She turned on the massive bed and rubbed her eyes before stretching her body leisurely. Her brows knitted upon discovering that the pain coursing through her had lessened a lot. Even though Valencia didn't want to admit it, she knew the person who could be behind it: Maverick. Valencia exhaled and leisurely turned. She couldn't believe she had fallen asleep amidst crying. Upon recalling Maverick, Valencia's heart felt as if it had been stabbed deeply by multiple shards of sharp glass. He... Wait! Valencia paused in agitation. How could she turn and stretch this much when she had been tied down to a position by Maverick? Valencia's brows furrowed, and her eyes flew wide open. Immediately, Valencia realized that the red rope that had always tied her down had magically disappeared. Valencia sat up, and she realized that she was in Maverick's white shirt, which fell below her knees due to its big size and her petite frame. Valencia's lips parted in a gasp, and she rubbed her eyes in bewilderment. Maverick untied her? Is she dreaming? As if to confirm that she wasn't dreaming, Valencia pinched her palm slightly, and she winced softly at the pain. She wasn’t dreaming at all! Valencia's eyes lit up, and an excited gasp fell past her slightly swollen lips. Could it be that after their mini-fight, Maverick realized how wrong he was for treating Valencia that way and decided to let Valencia go? Could it? A sense of giddiness overwhelmed Valencia immediately, but being unsure, Valencia quickly tried to suppress her excitement by clenching her fist. Valencia was about to stand up when the door was suddenly pushed open. The young maid Valencia, as she was accustomed to, stepped inside the room while pushing a serving cart filled with a five-course meal, snacks, dessert, a cup of herbal drink, a soft drink, and a bottle of water. Upon seeing the sitting Valencia, a beautiful beam engulfed the young maid's face. Her eyes took in Valencia's beauty in awe. No wonder boss ordered her not to gaze at Miss. Miss Tatiana is truly beautiful and otherworldly—a lot more than Miss Tatiana. "Miss, you have woken up." She stated politely, and Valencia nodded. Valencia noticed that the young maid was staring at her with pretty brown eyes filled with awe, unlike before, when the maid always refused to stare at Valencia as if that could get her punished. As soon as the young maid placed the serving cart next to the bed, she bowed to Valencia politely. "Miss, boss ordered me to inform Miss that Miss can freely walk around the mansion now." She conveyed. Valencia froze, but in the next minute, her eyes lit up, and they twinkled with a devious glint, which the young maid failed to catch. "Really?" Valentine's eyes widened, and she tilted her neck while staring at the little maid intently, as if to make out if the maid was lying or not. Getting the full attention of the beautiful Valencia made the young maid's cheeks warm. She blushed furiously, and she nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "Yes miss." She concurred in a shy and soft voice. Immediately, Valencia's eyes lit up, and her lips curved up. Perhaps this is a good sign that Maverick Vandenberg will soon soften. Her fist clenched in agitation. Unfortunately, Valencia couldn't wait for that scum person to change his mind. Not at all! With this little chance Valencia had gotten, she could plan her way to escape the mansion. She believed that she could. Valencia secretly nodded in approval at her thoughts, and her expression softened. Her appetite improved, and she picked up her cutlery calmly. Elegantly, Valencia began to eat her meals. Despite the bitter herbal drink, Valencia appeared unfazed, drinking it in a go. The maid's eyes shone, and her eyes filled with reverence, brightened up. Her thoughts of Valencia improved. Unlike those wealthy heiresses, Valencia didn't even brag or try to show off. How could the maid not revere Valencia? After eating each meal, Valencia drank a bottle of water before moving back, signifying that she wasn't eating anymore. The maid stared at the food in bewilderment. How can someone eat this little? Not knowing about the little maid's thoughts, Valencia smiled at the maid. "It's delicious. Thank you." She praised due to her good mood. The maid's face lowered, and her whole face, neck, and ears turned red due to shyness. "Tha... Thank you, miss." She responded in a shy and polite voice. "What's your name?" Valencia leaned back on the bed and asked goodheartedly, having a good impression of the little maid. "I'm Aurora, miss." Aurora twisted her fingers shyly and replied while sneaking glances at Valencia. Valencia nodded her head and blinked her eyes beautifully. "Beautiful name for a beautiful person." She conveyed Aurora felt her legs weaken, and she almost collapsed at Valencia's soft voice that had just pronounced her name. Aurora can't help feeling that she has just met the beauty goddess herself. Only if Aurora were a male, Aurora will certainly jump on the beautiful Valencia. "Thank you, miss," Aurora replied with fluster. She quickly pushed the cart filled with food and fled out of the room. Although she is already captured by Miss Valencia's beauty, she is sane enough to recall Maverick's warning. Valencia smirked and leaned back on the bed with a wild expression on her face. She stroked her chin ungentlemanly and smirked wickedly. A docile maid like Aurora will definitely be a good help when it comes to escaping. Thinking of her leaving this place a few days from now made mixed emotions overwhelm Valencia. However, thinking about her mission, Valencia suppressed her thoughts and quickly got out of bed while stretching her body languidly. The minute Valencia's shaky legs touched the cold floor, she moaned softly and almost shed tears of joy. It had been so long, dear floor. It was at that moment that she realized how much she missed walking. Maverick is a crazy jerk! As soon as Valencia manages to leave Maverick's residence, she'll make sure to scurry far from that jerk called Maverick Vandenberg! Thinking like this, Valencia pulled the expensive door, but in the next minute, she froze. Valencia rubbed her eyes to discover if she was dreaming or not. Yet the scenery didn't change, not a bit. A sense of dread slowly crept into her system, and a thought appeared in her mind: she was finished! Right in front of the room stood two burly guards, turning their backs to the door to guard the room. As if that wasn't enough, each room in the big passage had two guards guiding them each. Apart from that, two guards patrol the corridor restlessly. On the staircase, guards were ascending and descending it without pausing. At the mansion's entrance were three burly guards who kept accessing everyone who wanted to enter and exit the mansion. Valencia realized that a fly wouldn't be able to enter or escape the mansion due to the tightness of the mansion's security, not to mention her Valencia's step almost faltered, and her happy mood vanished in an instant. That Maverick jerk! Of course, Valencia had escaped their wedding; what made her think Maverick would let his guard down around her this time? She knew he had already done so to prevent her from trying to escape. Every door has two or more guards guarding it. Certainly, Maverick Vandenberg has no intention to let her out of the mansion. Valencia had been happy for nothing! The thought made Valencia huff and almost made her curse loudly. But in the next minute, Valencia snapped out of it and tried to comfort herself. The mansion is so huge, she didn't believe she wouldn't find a secret exit to help her escape. At least this was a lot better than being tied to bed with her fate all in Maverick's hands. Thinking like this, Valencia regained her happiness. She inhaled and decided to sweep around the mansion. Perhaps she'll find something. The minute Valencia took a step, the two guards watching after the master bedroom immediately followed after her. "...." The stunned Valencia. Damn you, Maverick Vandenberg! He is hell-bent on giving her no space. At that minute, the thoughts of escaping disappeared from her mind. After all, even if she found an exit, she couldn't escape the radar of the two guards. Valencia suppressed her sad mood and began to walk around the mansion. The mansion was thousands of meters large. A monologue of black and white color and low-key luxury decorated the room. Even though Valencia was in a bad mood and had no interest in gazing at how the mansion was decorated, she couldn't fail to discover that Maverick had a good aesthetic. Valencia pushed past a large door at the side of the large living room. Her breath hitched upon gazing at a garden filled with cherry blossoms, lilies of the garden, etc. Valencia's sad mood disappeared, and upon seeing a swing in the middle of the garden, her eyes lit up, and she scurried towards it. With a light bounce, Valencia sat on the swing. Her eyes searched for the guards, and she noticed that they had disappeared. Perhaps they were watching the door that she passed through. For them not to follow her into the garden. It must mean that there is nothing to aid her escape here. Honestly, after seeing such a beautiful garden, the thoughts of escaping instantly vanished from her mind. After all, even if she had it in mind, she couldn't fulfill it, so she might as well enjoy her temporary rest. It is spring now. The cherry blossom tree had bloomed, and the petals were dropping. Valencia spread her hand and inhaled the beautiful scent from the garden. Some of the petals fell on her, giving her an otherworldly look. The scene appeared as if it were straight out of a painting. "Hey. Who's this shameless woman? How dare you enter young master's garden?" The sudden, loud, and ear-piercing shriek of a female voice interrupted Valencia's rest. Valencia's brows knitted, and she opened her eyes. (Hi, everyone. I'm so sorry for the late update.
