A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS

Allicia sat by the window and gently pushed up the window pane. A gush of fresh air blew across her face and her hair danced alongside the breeze. Her elbow propped up on the desk in front of her, she cupped her face in her palm and her weight rested on her elbow. She watched the branches and leaves of the trees sway in the tune of the gentle breeze. She had slowly gotten used to being alone in the mansion especially after she had stayed there for a week and more. The nature of her job in the mansion was quite simple, she just cleaned up a few places and prepared her own meals. She lived in the mansion all day as though she owned the place and she only left when it was evening. She had gotten used to the routine. In the big house, it was just her… or so she thought. Actually, she wondered if she was truly alone or if there was some other person who was there with her. It was always eerily silent in the mansion but there had been times when her ears picked up tiny sounds that seemed

Allicia was used to spending the time alone in the mansion, she casually left the door opened while she was in the only available room that she used. She looked for a towel and threw it on the bed. Her clothes were wet already and since she was staying until the rain was over, she decided to pull off the clothes. She removed her skirt first and then her shirt. She picked up the clothes and carefully spread them on the armrest of a wooden chair in the room. She turned around to pick up to towel to clean her slightly wet body when her eyes met with his. The man stood at the entrance of the room, his figure made the entrance appear smaller than it should be, a sharp glint flashed through his dark orbs as he down stared at the girl. Allicia stood frozen at the same spot, the humming stopped and the pressure from the man's intense gaze made it a bit difficult to breath. Who was this man and where did he come from?! These were the questions that filled her head. She only looked at him

"Ava–" Allicia rolled her eyes at her friend. "I urge you to please be quiet and concentrate on driving" she voiced. "Nonsense, I can see the road clearly! Even with my eyes closed" Ava bragged. "Nope, you won't do that here" Allicia laughed. Of course, she knew how reckless her friend can be. Ava may appear quite childish and playful, but that's a mere facade of what she really is. Her playfulness is only a cover-up for her fierceness and the banditry that coursed through her veins. If she really bragged about driving with her eyes closed, Allicia could bet that she would definitely give it a try when no one was watching. Ava had been that way since she knew her from the Orphanage. "Tsk!" Ava clicked her tongue childishly causing Allicia to laugh, she could almost hear the latter mutter, "coward" under her breath. "For the kids, you must be careful" Allicia warned. "Right!" Ava bobbed her head, just like Allicia, she could not afford anything to happen to the children. When it c

Meanwhile, while the adults were having their discussion, the kids were also engrossed in their own little world and having their own serious deliberations. "Big brother, are you sure that we can do this?" Little Zia popped her head and looked at the scribbling and drawings that was made on the page of a drawing book, although she barely understood the entire point of the drawing, she knew that it was a draft that her brother had made for them to find their daddy. "You have to trust your brother, Zia" Zayn uttered expressionlessly, he stared at the draft he made and could not be anymore satisfied with himself. He knew that he had come up with the best plan ever."Yes, I trust you!" Zia bobbed her head seriously and expressed immediately. Zayn nodded and rubbed her head. "You are a good girl" Zayn did not waste time in praising his sister. The little girl blushed immediately. She knew that her big brother liked her the best! He always reveal a stony expression and spoke very little

"Zayn, it is Uncle" The man's voice came through the speaker and reached the little boy's ear. "Mm, I know" Zayn answered coldly. Without giving the man a chance to react, he questioned. "Why did you call?" "Ha!" A short chuckle rang across the speaker causing the little boy to frown slightly. The man on the other side laughed but, the boy did not thing he had said anything funny. However, he was only cold and did not bother about the man's unusual behaviour. "Zayn, Uncle called because he missed you kids, okay?" The man uttered. His words reached Zayn's ears but he gave no response in return. He simply waited patiently across the phone. His cool expression remained as it was. "When are you kids returning?" The man asked. There was a flicker of change in Zayn's cold facial feature, the little boy's lips pressed to form a thin line before he answered the man. "Zia already told you that we won't be returning, right?" He asked and the man only laughed. It was not so easy to deal wi
