I sat in the garden yet again. This was my 3rd night in a row that I have been sitting here and thinking about a lot of things. I guess I was finally done with the daily chores for today and there was no much of a trouble. No problems and Darius was just peacefully going back and forth. While Nicholas was busy these few days. I guess something is coming up and its keeping him really busy. Well, that was none of my business because just so just all of a sudden, my mind drifted back to Maya and the words she said to me. I shake my head sideways in annoyance thinking about all she just said. “How does she expect me to be so close to her, wanting us to be so close and be friends again?” Something just does not seem right about her. Something seems totally off, and I will not just stay there and be blindly used because I know she wants to play a trick on me. I know she wants something, but she's just not saying it. And I am not ready to give it to her. You watch her watch. Instead, I wou

Laura povI knew that I was so foolish and now that he had left I felt even more foolish because I thought of all the possibilities and all the things I could gain from being his Partner and Leader for that matter. But I am not ready. I am not ready for all the war I am going to face. I have so many people who hate me. I know about it. And if I am made Leader all of a sudden, it would not go well. Even the council members whom he said he had informed about making me the Leader. I know that they don't want me, but they are only just pretending. I don't want any trouble, I just want a peaceful life. But yet I get complicated and get me stopped in things that I don't want to be involved in. I cleaned my tears, which were slowly dripping down out of everything I was thinking as I decided to wave it off and think of something else. I needed to start my chores tomorrow morning and I know that Nora has an eye on me these few days after the. After Maya had served her and she seemed a bit sat

I looked at Nora one more time and she had a very, very angry look on her face as she and Darius’ fiance walked away. I placed my head gently on Nicholas's shoulder as I thought of everything Nora had said today. None of the things hurt me more than the fact that she had to bring Darius’ fiance. I am more than sure that Darius does not know that his fiance is here and if he is to find out his mom brought her just to make this difficult for me. He would definitely cause problems and be angry with his mother. But that was none of my business. At least now I know that I have to stay away from Darius or else there will be a battle and fight between me and this woman and I don't want that. I don't want a situation whereby I will be seen as somebody fighting for two brothers. I am more than enough with my position right now. I continued to think about everything I did not know when Nicholas had already got into my room as he opened the door and slowly walked towards the bed and laid me on

I woke up the next morning feeling a bit tired and so much pain in my feet as I looked down only to see that it was already wrapped all around with bandage and I still was not able to move it. I'm not really sure I broke an ankle. I think I actually broke my leg entirely because it was so painful. Just then I had a quick flashback of everything that happened last night and how Maya had taken care of me. Despite the fact that I kept pushing her away and shouting, she still made sure to do everything for me. I felt a little bit of pity and thought about the fact that maybe she was not actually pretending. I wanted to be my friend, but that was not just enough reasons for me to allow her do whatever she wanted. I slowly dragged myself to sit on the bed as I ran my hands through my face to make my sleepy mood clear off. I have a lot of work to do today. I even have to clean Nicholas's room, which is like the most difficult work for me to do right now, but anyways I need to get to it as f

As I slowly found my way back into the room, I could not help but believe what was actually going on. Did I hear Nicholas correctly? Did I hear the maids correctly? Because I don't think this is possible. He can't possibly say that “Laura is no longer sleeping.” This Mansion, the minute he annuls her position as a slave, it strengthens my position as the Leader. And I don't think I'm ever stepping down for him. I am trying my very best to make Darius the Boss, and I can't step down for Nicholas, no matter what.As I staggered my way through the hallway and towards my bedroom, I couldn't help but think about so many things. How can I possibly navigate this issue? How can I make sure that I come out of it without any problem? I opened my bedroom door and slowly shut it down. As I sat on the bed thinking about everything I heard, I was clearly hearing very well when I heard Nicholas yell at Madame Betty, telling her that “nothing must happen to Laura,” giving them an authority that I am
