" Don't forget You have to come before five o'clock otherwise you can't go to college in time or you consider my offer to move in with us. " Tom said. James sighed, shook his head, and said." No ".

" I will be there on time. Thank you for today and please don't let my brother know what Arrow did to me". Tom nodded his head in agreement. When James entered the house, Johnny was sitting on the couch looking at something on his phone. When he saw him, he came closer to him eagerly. " Where have you been? You didn't take my phone calls " Johnny had a panicked look on his face. He got scared when he didn't see James at home. " I need to talk, " James said as went to the kitchen took a water bottle from the fridge, and drank in one gulp. Johnny stared at him worried, he could see in James' face that something was up. " From tomorrow onwards I going to work boss's current house," James finally blurted out.

" What? " Johnny looked unbelievable. " They know I lied to get in knights ".

Johnny was shocked, he couldn't believe his ears. " Did they do something to you? " He asked checking him up concerned. " No they forgave me when I told him about our problems so he said I can work as a servant and be still at Knights," James said, anxiously waiting for Johnny's response. " What did you do to end up caught like that? " Johnny asked for an answer. " I can't tell you but you need to understand. I had to accept that offer for our well-being. Anyway, I do part-time jobs, I can take leave from those ".

" What about your study? You can't do both, "

Johnny looked annoyed. " I will manage. And I have to report there at 5 o'clock. You don't have to wake I can go myself " James said tiredly, he walked upstairs. He could feel the lump forming in his throat he didn't know how he going to manage it.

James woke at four o'clock in the morning. after getting ready he runs towards downstairs. He jumped back frightened, a figure was sitting on the sofa. Getting closer he saw Johnny was sleeping while sitting. " Johnny, why are you sleeping like this? " He asked patting his shoulder slightly. Johnny suddenly stood. " I am waiting here like half an hour ago. Why are you late? " Johnny asked sleeplessly.

" You don't have to come. Go and get some sleep, " James said. Johnny shook his head off. " You can't walk at this time alone. let me come okay? " He said walking first.

Johnny was stopped by the guards of Alexander so he dropped James at the gate. James knocked on the front door. The door burst open to see a guy wearing workout clothes staring at him. " Why are you late? The boss already asked for you " James checked his watch. " Drew, I'm not late," James said, Drew signed. " You don't get it. The boss asked about you five minutes ago. If he says you are late then you are." The guy Drew said. James felt tired already seeing inside the house. Since today he has had to clean the whole house and also help in the kitchen, That's what Drew told him.

In the kitchen, an old man already started cooking. Seeing him he smiled. " Hi, I am Nate. I heard you are coming. Can you cook? " The person asked. James gives the smile back and nods his head.

" Yes, "

" Then help me cut these vegetables. Stay in the kitchen until eight. Then you can clean the house. Sir is very strict about tidiness, " James nodded his head obediently.

The jobs weren't easy. In this house including the bodyguards six people live. They all have personal rooms. James is familiar with everyone Venice, Don, Spark, Drew, and Tom. All these are Alexander's favorite people and also dear friends. Seeing him everyone had a knowing look.' Words fly fast' James thought. He didn't get time to rest, everyone came Down to Breakfast at seven of the clock. Alexander was the last to come. When he spotted James His face turned red with anger. " Hey, you. Why are you late? " He asked as James nervously walked towards him. " Why were you late? " He asked again, James facial color drained. He thought Alexander looked like a Bull. " What? I am not....." He couldn't complete his sentence. Before his hand slapped him hard. James felt numbness in his cheeks he could taste blood in his mouth. " Don't be late". Alexander said walking towards the table. All the guys at the table looked at him unbelievably. " Why did you beat him? " Tom asked. He looked irritated. " Don't be so noisy. If he is going to my servant then he must endure my wrath, " Tom shook his head in frustration as he turned to look at James. But he already disappeared.

James looked at himself in the mirror. He cursed at his fucked up life. Every end is closed for him. The tears brimmed in his eyes. But he controls himself. He took the brush and started cleaning up the washing basin.

He washed everyone's clothes and tidied the house. Everyone left for college without him. The House to the college is five a minute's walk. The class started correct 9.00 clock. When Johnny arrived it was already 9.30.
