CHAPTER 5

CLAIRE

My back hurts, I can't believe I was on a private jet for more than twenty hours. I had to take my bath on the plane and also change my bandage too.

I was glad that my face was starting to heal. Owen was right, after all, it really won't leave a scare. I wondered how he was and Dad would probably be looking for me now.

I wasn't the only one on the plane, about thirty people were there too both male and female. About ten of the people were the agents, while the rest of us were slaves. It's still hard to believe that I'm now a slave

Getting to the airport, two of the agents cleared our papers with the check-in officer. Our visas and passports had already been taken care of before we left for the U.S.

After leaving the airport longue, we were convened on a coaster bus. The bus finally halted at a very beautiful golden gate, the driver placed his palm on something on the gate and it opened automatically.

I gasped in awe at the scenery of the place, it was a very large acre of land with different beautiful buildings on it.

The trees and carpet grasses added beauty to its landscape. There was an artificial waterfall at the center of the land. I gasped when I saw a beautiful blue lake as we advanced future into the building.

The bus finally came to a halt in front of a mansion. I think the most beautiful building in the estate. It should be the main house.

We were asked to step down from the bus.

"Welcome," Two girls greeted us warmly. They looked Chinese.

"This way please," we were led to a large hall in the building.

"This is where all maids gather when the master wants to pick a bride chambermaid. I'm Xinger the current bed chambermaid of the master,"

"I'm Charyl the head maid. Tomorrow you will be taken on a tour around the estate since it's late already,"

A guy walked into the hall. He was cute and I was starting to think he was the master but he didn't have a cold expression so I guess he's not.

"I'm guessing you guys already ate in the plane before the plane landed," he said they all nodded.

"Asher Bingwen. Just call me assistant master," he said in a funny way and everyone chuckled.

"Your work here is quite maybe easy depending on you…" he pouted unsure.

"The guys get to work in the factory while the girls get to do the chores and take care of the master…and assistant master too," he grinned. Damn, this guy is funny.

"The master hates stealing, no one likes it anyway. Never barge into the master's chamber without being called upon. Do your work diligently. Whenever you see the master you must bow and also you must call him ‘master' at all times…"

"…If any of these rules are broken, the cold room awaits you and I really don't think you want to be there,"

"No Assistant master,"

"Well, tomorrow the master will be choosing a new bride chambermaid. He does that every week, I guess that will be all.

"Xinger and Charyl will take the ladies to their quarters. Zach takes the three males to their quarter too,"

We were all divided into different rooms. I was put in a room where three girls were in. They all lay in on their beds. There was one extra bed I'm guessing it's mine.

"Hi I'm Claire," I waved at them smiling. The two girls just ignored me I guess they were not friendly.

"You must be one of the new intakes. I'm Daniela," she giggled. I was in shock looking at the exact replica of my bestie Danielle.

"Danielle?" I called hugging her.

"You know my sister?" she asked as we pulled out of the hug.

"Your sister? Are you a twin?"

"Yeah. Danielle and I got separated when we were six. Mom couldn't take care of both of us so she gave me up for adoption," How come Danielle never told me she was a twin?

"How did you end up here?" I asked as we sat on my bed.

"Well, my wicked foster parents sold me out. I suffered from child abuse for years before I ended up here. I have been here for a year now,"

"I'm sorry about that,"

"It's fine. How do you know my sister?"

"She's my best friend,"

"I guess that's the reason I felt drawn to you. How did you get here?"

I can't believe I actually told her about myself. Right from the rape to now, I felt so good letting her share my secret.

I'm so glad my stepfather can't harm me from here.

"That man is really wicked,"

"He's worse than wicked,"

"Don't think about it anymore. Remember the master is choosing a bed chamber maid tomorrow," she giggled.

"What's a bed chambermaid and what's so special about it?"

"Being a bed chambermaid, you get to serve the master on the bed,"

"That's crazy like have sex,"

"I wish it would be me. He's so damn handsome,"

"You are just like your sister. Boy freak but I think she's worse,"

"I'm not a boy freak,"

"You are,"
