*{The next day}*
I woke up around 7:28Am.
Geez am dead once more.
I haven't done my morning duties and cooked yet.....
I tried to get up from where I was sleeping when I remembered flashes of memories of yesterday event.
_' _it's there anymuch point anymore, I am nothing in their eyes anyways. '_
I quickly got ready. I came down stairs and only to find auntie galenna frowning deeply while walking out of the kitchen till when I eyes landed on me and her eyes narrowed out of annoyance.
" You this girl ! , How dare you choose the time you feel to come do your chores, is it because we are giving you the free hand for the moment before you leave but today I will surely give you lesson" auntie galenna said while walking towards me with a raging voice.
I just stood there, not like before that I would try to hide for safety but today, I seemly do not just care , they have done their worst to me already so what's the point.
" Galenna hold it right there!, Haven't I made it clear that nobody beats her because to reduce the marks on her body, morgan made it clear that she should be acceptable and now look at you already trying to bruise her face" uncle Rowan said with a stern voice to his wife.
" But, look at the time she's coming downstairs, and nothing have been done yet and you want me not to be angry!" Auntie galenna said looking at both her husband and me.
_' so this couple want's me too be well packaged and neat for them to hit their selfish deal..... that's totally awesome!'_
" You can but, morgan said he can't be able to reach here today but I would be going to see him at the hotel he lounged, am morgan said he's bringing three new assistant house maids from his hotel for the main time, even though I declined but he insisted because they are also professionals for taking care of snow lions and they are going to prepare her before she finally travels, okay" uncle Rowan said directly to his wife.
_' This people are literally kidding me right now!'_
" When are the maids coming?" Auntie galenna asked, now her face full with interest.
" Today actually, they should be here before noon okay" uncle Rowan replied.
After sometime, the maids came after uncle Rowan left, they were all dressed professionally with their maid attire. The two were humans while one a linx, am guessing that one would be the head of them all.
I am sure auntie galenna and her children were so impressed because of the way they are and the flashy car that brought them here.
They got to work immediately with me, Auntie galenna refused to change my room away from the Attic so we managed the attic, it's not like I freaking care. They started by washing my long Dread which they were surprised in seeing me with one since I live in Harrison and they expect to see a snow lion with nice and feminine hair.
' _so cute'_
I felt weird when they tried to take off my clothes for them to bathe me, _' geez am not a baby'_ ,so I resisted but who am I anyways to them, The linx woman just tryed to pasuaded and comfort me, after that they bathed me.
They took out a bunch of skincare stuffs when I asked what it was.
My day just ended with those people because they were working here and there.

*{ Three days later}*
Those past three days were occupied greatly because the maids busied my day trying to make my body so called perfect.
The mister morgan finally showed up that afternoon.
Uncle Rowan was the first to greet him followed by his wife and children, while the maids just simply bow their heads and continue with what they were doing. Now, I no longer were my vail and since the past three days, I could feel all eyes on me, eyes of jealousy from the females in the house, eyes of disappointment from Orion as if he just lost something so important and uncle Rowan, eyes of pride like as if he just hit the jackpot.
Mr Morgan didn't even sit immediately but went straight towards my me, I was standing near the stairs when he spotted me.
" Hello young lady, my name is Morgan windjor, I am a close friend of your uncle, you look more beautiful than I had imagined, firstly I was confused when you were described to have Dread but now I understand, you look breathtaking" mr Morgan said with a beaming smile plastered on his face.
He is as tall as uncle Rowan and he looked like an average size man but only difference was that he had a bit more pot belly due to over drinking, and he's also a linx.
The fear I thought I have successfully gotten over of and accepted the worst fate but as this man appeared to me looking me from head to toe.
My Dread rested on my shoulders to my back, and I wore a yellow dress thay reached my knees, the maids did really bought everything I need.
" Are you shy talking to me? It's understandable since just saw me less than an hour ago , it's totally fine. Come join me with the rest okay" the man said and moved to the dinning table with the rest of the family.
I could feel the glares from all sides full with disgusts towards me but they all continued to keep shut and keep up their fake smiles.
I sat besides Mr. Morgan as he requested and I feel so...so uncomfortable just sitting with this family not to talk of this stranger.
The food was brought and everyone started to dig in, it was mostly uncle Rowan and Mr Morgan and that continue to discuss while auntie galenna would just say a bit but the rest was totally silent except for Orion who was asked questions by his Dad for him to flunt his only son.
I couldn't even look up from my plate or even take a bit, I feel freaking scared right now, my mind was not in this genius talk this men seems to be intervene in....
After some time, I was snapped out of my thoughts by uncle Rowan's voice.
" That's great!, The earlier the better, so that means you would be leaving too right" uncle Rowan said.
_' I don't understand what's going on'_
" Yeah.., business calls so I gat to leave...so now, Niomi, get her ready so we can leave" me Morgan said with that overdue beaming smile on his face.
_' wait what is happening, why did he call the head maid to get me ready, ready for what?'_
My heart was already beating fast. When I finally realized that I would be leaving to travel to Kansas today. I felt light headed immediately.
The maids took me from the dinning to get me ready. I was dressed in a red gown that stick to my skin , showing the shape I didn't once have, completed the dress with a pair of canvas , I was applied makeup to my face and lastly did my hair. I felt like I'm going to someone's party or wedding. .my heart continued to beat really loudly _. ' I don't want to accept this fate of mine at all'_
The maids took me downstairs to meet with the rest of the family.
" Now, this is what I like to see , a snow lion in action!, Stunning, I really like what I see mr Ark, thanks for keeping this beauty till this long.... come nicole, let's head to the car" mr Morgan said.
" Hahaha.... you are funny morgan, at least now the ZRAA hotel would appreciate you even more" uncle Rowan said.
The maid led me to the dark jeep which looks really shinning while uncle Rowan and Mr Morgan continued talking till they reached out side of the house, I saw some of mr Morgan men open a brief case and taking out some files which both mr Morgan and uncle Rowan signed, I didn't understand what they were doing just looking at them through the Jeep's Glass. When they were finally done, the ark family finally waved at mr Morgan on his departure with happy faces till he entered the car and the driver drove us away. The maids followed us in a car behind. We took the flight straight and when we got to Kansas, it was 9:56pm already. I could feel the chill on my skin seeing how open the gown revealed much skin.
We were given costs by Mr Morgan men.
We entered another car after coming out of the air port. The car drove till the next fourty five minutes before stopping at a huge hotel, clearly written on the building " ZRAA hotel and suites".
Mr Morgan opened the car door and stepped out, and then said before closing the door.
" Well this is where I would be highlighting, it was nice knowing you today but this is not your destination actually, since you have already been bought by one of our customers you don't actually belong to ZRAA suites, you are meant to be headed to krex estate, so miss Nicole Alan enjoy your night, bye" he said and closed the door.
The car drove off again from that spot and made its way to another lane when it reached the highway.
Now that I'm inside the car Alone, I could now show my expression of pain.
The driver finally drove to krex estate and passed through the silver and gold gate. The car drove a little much longer till it dropped at the mansion's gates which automatically opened and the car drove into the mansion versinity and dropped at the fountain near the huge house. The door was opened by the driver, before I knew it, maids from the mansion led me into the grand house of high ceilings, chandeliers, marble spotless floors, everything in This place looked extra expensive. The maids led me to a room and now my anxiety is back. A human came into the room where the maids were still unpacking The boxes of clothes.
" Hello ma'am, my name is Gabriel, I'm the butler of mr Krex mansion, welcome to the mansion miss Nicole Alan, the maid would freshen you up and feel comfortable ma'am,.... actually mr Krex won't be around tonight since he went out, would you like to have your dinner? I would tell the cook to prepare what you want to eat" the man named gabriel said.
" .... thanks,.... but am not hungry actually" I replied with my low voice as usual.
" Okay ma'am, I would let you be so you can freshen up, good night ma" the mr gabriel said then closed the door.
_'Geez , why is he calling me ma'am, I'm just freaking eighteen'_
The maid ushered me into the bathroom, I couldn't help but smile with the bubbly soap in the bathtub, the last time it was mama who bathed me .
After I was done, I wore a night gown and they all left me too sleep.
I couldn't fall asleep one bit at all, just checking the time which is already 11:34pm .
The anxiety rose again by just thinking who this stranger is and what he may do to me maybe it's gonna be far worst than the Ark family.
A shiver ran down my spine of the thoughts, I didn't want to suffer.... I don't want to end up being raped....or emotionally played.... and the worst of it all is that I can't escape or do anything about it....
I cryed perfusely that night thinking about those scenarios I would start to bear.
' _am guessing this where my life begins'_
.

{ *The next day}*
I woke up by the alarm ringing Off.
Immediately the maids came in and greated me and went to prepare my bath, surprisenly, I notice these maids don't talk to me except I speak to them firstly.
After bathing, they brought me breakfast in the room, I wasn't just in the mood to eat anything, am so used to my last life style in Harrison.
My day was used through out in this room, it seems that I am not permitted out of the room. The room looks luxurious than anything I have ever seen before, it huge to be frank. I got the curiosity of how the rest of the mansion would look like.
I am sure andy would be jumping out of excitement if she sees this, talking of andy, they don't know that am out of the house yet.
I really missed them alot, and now we are never gonna see again. I'm so sure auntie Selena would be damn worried about me and there's no way to reach her or even hear her voice.
I was left all alone in This room and the only times the maids came was to serve me food and ask whether I needed anything. The evening hit fast and the sun was out of the sky.
The butler, gabriel, came to me that evening and told me that his master is home already and he requested to see me .
I felt my heart is going to slip out of my chest. I'm not ready to see anybody, can't this Butler guy just go away and go tell his master that my expression Alone says No .
I just nodded as an answer to him.
_' _damn why do my survival instinct kick in like the times I was still in uncle Rowan's house just to get away from trouble_
The butler led me out of the room and led me to a palace like room which was two corridors away from the room I was staying. The room looks absolutely luxurious with the sofas and a little bar at the side , and the high windows, with a wide screen TV accompied with a big master bed.
The room was lightly lit blue which accompied with the room one side color..
