chapter 7

In just one day, I found out that my bestie was dating my other best friend who is also the person I have a crush on, I saw my biological father in the worst condition ever, I found out that I had been sold and I have somehow miraculously become Mrs. Greeke wife of the almighty billionaire, Alexander Greeke. I suddenly realized how complex and complicated my small world had become. I opened my eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling and looked around the unfamiliar room, I sat up on the bed and I saw 6 pairs of eyes staring at with wide eyes 👀. "Good morning, Mrs. Greeke" they all bowed and greeted. I was stunned, somewhere at the back of my head, I was silently hoping and praying that all that was just a weird and long dream but their greeting slapped me back to reality... It wasn't a dream, it all really happened. "Ahh" I shrieked and drew the extremely soft and fluffy blanket up to my chest, wrapped my hands around my legs, buried my face in between and started crying, this was all just too much to take in, I miss my simple life and the more I thought of this, the harder I cried. All the maids panicked, they would loose their jobs for making the young mistress cry, they were more terrified of what the young master would do to them for making her cry, last night, as they watched the young master gently carrying the young mistress up to her room, they were stunned by the scene and realized that the young mistress seemed to be very special to the young master. That was the first time they were seeing their young master soo close to a woman, at first they thought he was allergic to women and kept their distance but after a while, they began to suspect that he was gay, but the scene from last night was etched deeply in their minds, they can never forget the amount of tenderness that was overflowing from his eyes when he was staring at the young mistress, it was too much that it was scary. They had to think of a way to make her stop crying but all their efforts were to no avail. Just then the butler, Mr. Gu, came in, they explained the situation to him and even he didn't have any idea of what to do, he tried his best to coax her. "Young mistress, please stop crying, a single drop of your tears alone is powerful enough to make us all loose our jobs, but with the way you are crying, what is losing our jobs, we may not even live to see the sun tomorrow!. Please I beg you", the poor butler was almost in tears but even that was not enough to make her stop crying, she just kept on repeating "take me home, I want to go home, take me home". Deep down, she was secretly amused by the expressions on their faces but she refused to give in.

The butler had no other choice, "you, go and call young master and tell him the situation" the maid he sent was startled, as if the tears of the young mistress wasn't scary enough, now they're sending her into the lion's den. She hurriedly left the room and went to the opposite room, she lifted her shaky hand and knocked lightly on the door, scared of even breathing too loudly. A low and husky voice rang out "come in" ...
