CHAPTER IV

Lincton POV

I woke up but my eyes were still closed, I felt pain on my stomach, my chest, a little on my face and my back, but the soft feeling on my back was soothing the pain away a bit from my body.

My eyes shot open when I realized that I was laying on a soft thing and not a hard floor, I looked around and saw that it's evening already. I was in a mysterious room.

"Where am I?" I asked to myself.

I then got up, I touched my stomach when I heard it made a sound, I'm hungry now, I should go and eat now. I got outside the room that I was in then I looked around to find the exit, but I didn't, I found a stairs and I climbed downstairs.

Then I looked around to find the exit again, then I wanted to jump high when I saw it, I was about to walked towards it when a lady stopped me.

"Good evening sir? you might be the one that our boss talking about." The lady stated.

"Huh? me?" I asked confused and she just nodded.

"This way, Sir, Sir Darsh said when you woke up, you should eat then take a bath and change your clothes." The lady said.

"Uhmm who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Candice, and I'm a maid here." She answered.

"Who's Darsh?" I asked again.

"He's our boss, he brought you here early this morning when he came home. now, you can take a bath first then you can eat your dinner." She said then she motioned me to follow her.

I followed her and when we reached a door, she stopped and turned around to faced me then she handed me a clean and new clothes.

"That is your clothes, you can trail on the track that we walked on and wait for me to the bottom of the stair." She asked and I just nodded my head, then she walked away.

I let out a deep sigh and went inside the bathroom, I took off my clothes and went in the shower, I shampooed my hair 2 times and scrubbed my body more than once, who might know that this will be my last bath for the next days, so I might clean my body for real.

When I'm done, I dried myself using the towel on the rack and I slipped in the clothes that Candice gave me. I walked on the track that I walked on and thankfully I remembered it so I didn't got lost. I waited for Candice to came back and after a while of waiting, I saw Candice walking on my direction.

"Come on, the dinner is ready." She stated and I nodded.

I walked behind her I don't want to get lost in this house, when we arrived at the dining room, I guess? the foods were already on the table and it was a bit a lot.

"Uhmm I think it's a lot?" I stated.

"Don't worry, Sir Darsh said that you need to eat a lot because you're kind of skinny." She replied, she isn't lying tho.

I sat down on the chair and say my grace then I was about to dug in when I remembered something. I looked at Candice and she looked at me too.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Well? aren't you going to eat with me?" I asked and she shook her head.

"No, it's for you." She answered.

"It's fine, I won't be able to finish all this, you might help me instead." I stated then gave her a smiled.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Of course, you can also call the others so we can all eat the foods that you've been cooked." I stated cheerfully and she nodded.

She walked away from the dining room and I just sat there waiting for her to come back, I didn't touch the food because I want to eat it with them, it's not fun eating while others are starving. When she came back three people were with her.

"Good evening." I greeted them happily.

"Good evening." The three new people greeted me back, and I'm happy at that.

"What's your names?" I asked smiling.

"I'm Dominique, a gardener here."

"I'm Leila, maid here."

"I'm Sarah."

"Nice to meet you all." I said.

"Nice to meet you too." They all stated including Candice and I smiled at them.

"Let's eat now." I stated and they all sat on the chair and we all begun to dug in.

When we finished eating, I said that I'm the one that going to do the dishes but Sarah didn't let me. Leila guided me to where the living room is and she walked away. I sat on the couch there and just looked around.

"It's beautiful in here." I mumbled to myself.

The chandeliers were look nice, the TV is huge, the couch was so comfortable to sat on, I sighed when I remembered my family again but I quickly shook my head.

"No, I don't have a family nor parents." I mumbled.

"They kicked me out because I'm gay, they're heartless." I stated and a tears were threatening to fall but I blinked it away.

I stood up and looked around for a while when I remembered something, the old woman might worried about me right now, I need to back now. I stood up and I went to the kitchen I wished Candice was there.

When I got there I didn't saw Candice nor Sarah, Leila and Dominique. I went back to the living room and sat down there, I waited for a while but they didn't went back to me, so I decided to looked for the exit and thankfully I found it. I was about to open the door but it opened itself.

Then a handsome man walked in, his looks is kind of intimidating, his face structure was perfect, his nose looks perfect, his pinkish lips, his brown eyes, he was taller than me, his whole being was perfect.

"Going somewhere?" He asked dangerously while looking down on me.

"Ahg.... uhmm." I can't my mouth won't say anything.

"Candice!!" He then yelled and I flinched.

Candice walked towards, I can see that she's a bit nervous, I looked at her confused, why would she be nervous?

"What did I tell you to do to him?" He asked coldly.

"Ah.. uhmm make him eat, take a bath and don't let him to go home." She answered and I looked at her dumbfounded.

"Then why is he going out?" He asked more dangerously but she didn't answer.

"You know that you need to take your punishment, right?" He asked, punishment? why? she didn't know that I'm going out.

"No, she did all things that you've ordered her to do, no need to punish her." I stated standing infront of Candice.
