20 Work

"She is his new caregiver"

"Things didn't go too bad"

"Also he does poetry"

"And has a fluffy cat"

Jurin entered the room and saw William on the bed. A pillow behind his back. The condition of the room was well and nothing seemed to be out of place. Jurin didn't know what she was supposed to do. It was her first day at the job. A job for which she doesn't get paid. But if she did get money then what was she supposed to do with it.

"If he wasn't mafia I would have hired someone to kill him" Jurin stood there thinking about Louis who she hated the most before she asked

"Do you need anything?"

"Its time for my pills. They are in the drawer" William told her. His voice was low. Jurin opened the drawer and on the top of some things of his things a pack of white pills rested. The pack consisted of six pills out of which two had already been taken by William yesterday. He had to eat two of the pills every day as this was what he was instructed by the doctor. Jurin picked up the jug of water on the side table and poured him half a glass of water. He took the pills and drank water on top of them. She took the glass from him and placed it on the table

"Is there anything else I need to do?"she asked him who changed the channel of the television. Now instead of news there were sport competitions coming on the television.

"My clothes are in the closet" That's all he told her and Jurin went to get his clothes. The clothes were in the brown closet most of which were simple shirts and pants. She only spotted two suits in the closet. Some of the clothes were hung and the others were folded. Jurin took out a red shirt and a pair of black pants."

Do you want to wear this?'she asked him holding the shirt hung on the hanger in one hand and the pants in her other.

"Hmm" he hummed as a response which Jurin didn't hear.

"Excuse me"she tried to get William's attention to her.

"I asked if you want to wear this?"she repeated her question once again to get a response from William.

"Yes,I will wear it now go"he said and Jurin placed the clothes close to his reach and was about to leave when

"Wait a minute"Jurin stopped in her path and looked behind

"Help me sit" William spoke

"But you are already sitting" Jurin said in confusion as she didn't get what William meant by sit.

"I mean that help me change my posture. Iam not going to be able to wear the pants like this" William explained and turned off the television using the remote.

Jurin walked upto him and gave him support. She made him sit at the edge of the bed and his legs hung down.

"Leave the room and when iam done then I will call you"he allowed her the leave and she exited his room. The female leaned against the wall as she thought.

"Why did these two also have to be part of my new life?"

"He was my enemy so does that mean that I should do what he did to me?"she murmured

"But of course I can't kidnap him and I also can't mock him or else I would be dead"

Thinking about all these things had her partially drowned in her thoughts when a guard who was passing by told her.

"Hey woman. Sir William seems to be calling you". Jurin quickly came into the room to see him all dressed up. He was struggling with a button of his cuffs. Jurin watched as he tried to make the button pass through the hole in the fabric but once he failed he turned to her and expanded his arm. Jurin understood what he wanted her to do and moved forward. She sat on the bed as William picked up his phone. He unlocked the phone and Jurin buttoned his cuff.

"Done" Jurin stood up and waited for William to say something. There was nothing but silence in the room after that one word but the silence was broken when William placed the phone on the table and turned to Jurin.

"Ask Oliver to come here" Jurin had no idea who Oliver was but since it was her duty to do whatever William told her to she went out of the room and found a group of men chatting with each other. This was an unusual sight for her as the men hadn't arranged themselves in a neat and organized way and neither were they standing in a straight line. This was strange as Louis's guards feared him and wouldn't move an inch from their positions unless Louis had something to say to them or a task for them to do.

"Which one of you is Oliver?"she asked and from behind them emerged a familiar guy. He was the same guy who came to deliver his master's order to her while she was in the bathroom.

"Iam Oliver"he told and Jurin learned his name .

"Ah Oliver. The most favourite of our dear Sir William and also the most obedient of the bossy Bryan" he made fun of Oliver and he was used to this behaviour . It was a part of his daily life and thus he had taught himself to deal this with patience but the person who heard this was not going to deal with the man with patience and kindness was far away from that.

"James" Bryan said his name in a cold tone making James face him. He gazed at James and the other men left their friend alone in fear that Bryan could also include them in the punishment.

Jurin twisted her lips and covered her ears. She was ready to see the horrific scene but was not ready for the deafening gunshot. James knew what was about to come and he also knew that it wasn't the worst of what Bryan could do if he had the permission.

"Go clean the garden" Bryan ordered him and James obeyed his command.

Jurin took her hands away from her ears and Oliver opened the door. She had forgotten that the disabled man didn't like to kill people and maybe that was reason why his best man had also spared James.

"Bring my wheelchair and take me to the garden" William said to Oliver and he got out of the room to get his master's throne for him. He came back with the wheelchair and helped William to sit on it. The male pushed his wheelchair to the garden and Jurin watched when

"Go with sir William and bring him back when he asks to. You see Oliver has been over working himself and he is also experiencing problems of sleep walking. As a result of which he has been really tired now days" Bryan informed Jurin about Oliver's health. He was Bryan's favourite only because of his obedience but when it came to strength and fights he wouldn't be better than the others. To improve himself he started to train hard which deteriorated his health.

----------------

Jurin stepped into the area of the green garden. The grass ground was underneath the soles of her pumps. He looked around trying to spot William and saw him from a distance. He was under the shade of a tree and had a notebook and pencil in his hand. He was writing something which was unable to be read by Jurin due to how far she was. But when she came closer she saw that there was a fluffy animal sitting in his lap Light brown fur and blue eyes. It was all quiet and not a meow left from his mouth. Jurin founded William's pet cat adorable when Oliver asked her

"What happened?"

"Nothing. You can go now. Also you need to take rest"she said and stood behind William's wheelchair.

"It was Bryan who sent you here wasn't he?"Oliver inquired.

"Yes" She said under her breath when William looked behind. Seeing her he started to write again. His blue pen spitted ink on the paper in the form of words. Words which were written in beautiful cursive writing.

"Alright then" Oliver had no problem with leaving his Sir William with his new caregiver. He was much tired on his own and required a good nap even if it was only for a short time. He bumped into his table last night and fell from the stairs the day before. He really needed a cure for his problem or he would keep on falling and stumbling over things.

Jurin was with William and was curious of what William was writing. She didn't want to invade his privacy but the "wow" which left her mouth when he saw William's hand writing and the movements of his hands made William turn back.

"If you want to read it then here"he offered her his notebook making her embarrassed of her action.

"Don't worry it's not my dairy" With that Jurin hesitatingly took the black cover notebook. The pages were of broad lines giving him enough space to write the words clearly and in normal size. Jurin started to read the words which he was writing. The words formed a sort of poem.

"In the realm of love,such tales are told"

"Of hearts ensured,then left cold"

"Betrayal's touch,so cunning and sly"

"Leaving souls questioning, asking why"

"Once love bloomed,like a tender rose"

"Promises made,as sweet as prose"

"Hand in hand,we strolled through the night"

"But beneath that facade,shadows took fight"

"Whispers of deceit,they danced in the air"

"Love's betrayal,so cruel and unfair"

"A loved that seemed pure,now tarnished and frayed"

"As truth unfolded,illusions gently swayed"

"A dagger of falsehood,pierced my trust"

"Leaving scars that no time can adjust"

"Betrayal by love,a bitter taste in my mouth"

"Like an abandoned ship,adrift in the south"

"Oh how I believed in love so sweet"

"But behind those eyes,lies did discreet"

"Deception's venom,like a poisonous snake"

"Left my heart shattered in pieces"

Jurin flipped the page where the rest of the lines were written.

"But in the darkness I try to find my strength"

"Resilient and fierce,I'd go to any length"

"To heal the wounds from betrayal's sting"

"And soar once again with hopeful wings"

"For love may wound,love may decieve "

"But it cannot break a spirit that believes"

"In the power of rising,from ashes renewed"

"Betrayal by love may scar,but it cannoy subdue"

That was the last line of the poem written by William. Jurin closed the notebook and gazed at William who was looking at the flowers infront of him. Perhaps he was trying to express their beauty in words just how he expressed his gloomy thoughts. She gave him his belonging and asked.

"Do you do poetry?" William took the notebook from her and answered.

"I have been trying to adopt a hobby. After all I can't keep lying on the bed all the time" Jurin knew what he had done with her in the past but still as a human she couldn't stop herself from feeling symphatetic towards him.

All of a sudden the cat in William's lap jumped down and and went towards the flower. It wasn't the flowers which he liked but the dirt in which they were planted. He rolled on the dirt getting himself dirty. As if he wasn't already brown the dirt made his fur even more brown. When he was done he came back to his master who picked him up.

"You are really a weird fellow Minto. I don't understand how you like baths so much" William said to the cat who didn't understand the human language. Minto was a pretty cute yet mischievous animal and she was also spoiled as she got the best food and the best treatment an animal could have gotten and ofcourse she was allowed to roam around the mansion. She was kept in the cage only when there were some guests coming as her eyes would be on the food.

Jurin looked at William who smiled as he petted the cat. He seemed kind and gentle making Jurin confused as he didn't match the description of the Walter who she met in her previous life.

This William however was a painting whose meaning she couldn't understand. To her it looked as if the painter who worked on the painting for years stroked his paintbrush in the wrong direction making a flaw appear in his art piece. The painting was protected and well kept but noone's mind reached where the painting's heart lied.

"Take me inside now" William said and Minto meowed

Jurin pushed his wheelchair taking him inside the mansion but a difficulty came in their way when there were a few steps of stairs. The guards who stood there picked the burden of him and the wheelchair and placed it back down on the ground. From there Jurin took him inside.

"Sir it's times for lunch" James who just came back from cleaning a part of the garden told him.

They went to the dining room where Bryan was already present and started to eat. Jurin glanced at William and noticed how a dimple appeared on his left cheek as he chewed his food. It had only been a while when he spoke

"Iam done" William spoke and James took him to the room. Bryan saw the puzzled look so Jurin's face as she looked at William's plate. He hadn't eaten much. Just took a little bit of gravy with rice and some salad He drank a glass of water to quench his thirst.

"Sir William doesn't have an appetite at this time" Bryan told her and added

"Also be sure to give him his pills after your finished eating" Jurin didn't reply to Bryan but knowing that she heard him was enough for him to not explain anything further to her.
