Chapter 21 (SPEECHLESS)

“Alright.” She stood up from the chair. “Good night,” she said to them. “Good night dear.”

Emily went to the room, she sat on the bed waiting for Harry to come but he didn’t come. She thought he would come to the room after having some time with his mum but Harry never came to her room. She fell asleep while waiting for him.

---

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She opened her eyes slowly and for a moment, she thought she was back at home. That was how her step mum and Tina always woke her up back at home. She sprang up when the knock persisted and robbed her eyes with her fingers.

“But this is not home!” She looked around the room. Emily got down from the bed, she stretched her hands and yawned. “Who could that be? Is the person trying to bring down the whole house?” she gasped.

She opened the door and was surprised to see one of the servants standing with her hands in her waist. She raised her brow Surprisingly as the girl didn’t even greet her.

“Are you lost?” Emily asked her. “No, Emily.” She rolled her eyes. “Wait, did I hear you right?” Emily chuckled. “What is it?” she asked as calm as she could.

“The Boss and Ma’am wants to see you now, in the living room,” she said rudely. “Okay, I’ll be down there in some.” She turned around to enter the room but the girl grabbed her shirt.

“They want to see you now.” Emily was so speechless, she was confused that a maid was treating her like her step Mum and sister does. “What’s wrong with you? Take your hand!” She slapped her hand and the girl released her.

Emily was getting so angry but she had to control herself.

“Go now!” She commanded Emily and walked away. “What’s this.” Emily chuckled Surprisingly. She closed the door and went after her.

In the living room, Harry sat on a sitter sofa and on the other sitter beside him was his Mum. She didn’t see Jeff with them and she wondered why he wasn’t there.

“Mum, the servant is need to be disciplined.” Emily pointed to the girl and she rolled her eyes. “Stop pointing your fingers at me,” she snapped at Emily. “Are you talking back to me? How dare you!” Emily looked at Harry and Mum who weren’t saying anything to the servant.

“Mum I…” She cut her off. “I’m not your Mum!” she said to her. “I don’t understand.” Emily was so confused. She lifted up her head from the book she was reading and they fell on Emily.

“You heard me right, I’m not your Mum. And from now henceforth, do not call me that.” She turned to the servant. “Get her things here at once,” she ordered. The maid went upstairs sticking out her tongue to Emily.

“Harry, what’s happening here?” she asked Harry who was playing games in his phone. “What do you think is happening here?” He scoffed. The maid returned downstairs dragging Emily’s bag on the floor.

“What’s happening?” Her heart was pounding. “You’ll be moving out,” Mum said to her. “H… How? Why? To where?” She fell on her knees. “Please don’t do this to me, don’t send me out of this house,” she pleaded.

“Didn’t you read the contract?” Harry asked her. He was surprised by her reaction. “I read it,” she said worriedly. “But why are you over reacting?” He chuckled. Emily read the contract but she didn’t understand anything written there, she didn’t even concentrate while reading it.

“I can’t leave here without Jeff.” She was already in tears. “Jeff? And who told you, you will be moving out of this house?” Mum Sneered. “You will stay here but not as Jeff’s Mum.”

“What!” Emily exclaimed. “How do you expect me to stay here and act like Jeff isn’t my child? That’s impossible,” she argued. “Are you trying to argue with me? Look here Emily, we brought you back here to get Jeff away from you. But seeing that you need help, we decided to make you one of the servants of this house. And for your information, you should never step your foot in to this living room or anywhere close to Jeff,” Mum warned her.

“How do,” Harry interrupted her. “You are staying in the servants Quarters and you will be sweeping and wiping the flowers. Like Mum said, don’t you ever step your foot in to this apartment. Just pretend like we’ve never met, pretend you don’t know Jeff.” He continued with his game.

“But that’s impossible,” Mum interrupted her. “It’s possible. Now, you should get going. You are already polluting the air.” She gestured to the maid go take her bag away. “Please don’t do this to me. My friend will laugh at me if she finds out,” Emily pleaded.

“Wait, I guess Belle told you not to come here but you didn’t listen to her.” Harry burst in to laughter. “It’s your fault! I thought you were in love with me,” she cried. “Hey girl. How do you expect me to fall in love with a girl like you? Quit dreaming,” he scoffed.

“He’s right. There are tons of girl out there, rich girls that wants him to at least talk to them but he didn’t. Why would my son who is a billionaire fall in love with a nobody? Emily, your only job was to give birth to Jeff, hand him over and go your way. No one told you to fall in love with my son. You should be happy that you’ll get to say in this houses even as a maid,” Mum laughed.
