Chapter 7 - New home

The woman led her up the stairs and Daisy kept admiring the beautiful designs of the house.

They came to the hallway and she stopped at the first door on the hallway.

She then turned the doorknob and went inside, Daisy followed, her eyes widening as she took in the room.

The room was cozy with a big master bed at the center. Soft, creamy walls rose to a high ceiling, where a delicate crystal chandelier sparkled like diamonds.

The carpet was the color of warm sand, which swallowed her footsteps as she entered. A single, exquisite painting hung on one wall, a masterwork of light and shadow.

"Not bad," Daisy muttered.

"As if your last room was like this" the maid scoffed.

"What did you just say?" Daisy asked, staring at her while coming closer.

She laughed and was about to repeat what she just said, but Daisy held her by the neck and dragged her to the nearest wall.

She gripped her tighter and forced her to look up.

"Please" she croaked, her hands clawing to free her neck.

The woman's eyes were filled with fear and there were beads of perspiration on her forehead.

"You talk to me like that again. You won't live to see how it ends" Daisy spat and then released her.

The woman fell on the floor, her hands flying to her throat.

Daisy stared at her, a satisfied smirk on her lips.

She loved reminding people their fucking damn place.

The woman's face was pale as she looked up at Daisy.

"Get out," Daisy snapped.

She hesitated before she got up from the bed and dashed out for the room.

"Bitch" Daisy muttered.

When she left, Daisy turned to the bed, the fluffy white covers and pillows were damn inviting.

"Let me shower and get back to you, bed" she said and then walked to the bathroom.

The bathroom was also looking so luxurious just like the bedroom.

Daisy peeled off her clothes and stepped into the shower.

The warm water flowed down her skin and she groaned at how good it felt.

It has been ages since she bathed in warm water.

After she was done and had wiped her body, she wore one of the bathroom robes she saw in the bathroom and came out.

She didn't waste any second before walking straight to the bed and flopping on it.

"Ahh, so soft and fluffy" she sighed, snuggling deeper into the bed.

It might be the warm water or the soft bed or also the fact that she was sleeping in a bed that wasn't attacking her bones.

Daisy fell asleep and she didn't wake up till there was a loud knock on her door.

"Go away" she whispered, sleepily.

"Open the door, Daze" was the curt reply she heard.

There wasn't a mistake in the voice, it was Emilio so she reluctantly got up from the bed and padded towards the door.

She unlocked the door and swung it open, Emilio was standing there with another maid who was trying to hide her face but was failing woefully at that.

"Someone has been maltreating my workers" Emilio began, his voice deep and authorities.

Daisy stared at him, noticing he was still wearing his suit but the tie was gone.

"I just had a few words with her, nothing more" she replied.

"Well, you don't need to do that to this one" he said, motioning at the maid standing behind him.

"Great," she muttered.

"She'll attend to you, just tell her whatever you need"

"Understood"

Emilio then walked away leaving the maid with Daisy.

The maid's eyes were fixed on the floor as she waited for Daisy to speak.

"Look up," Daisy ordered.

She looked up quickly, her body trembled.

"Do your job well and we won't have any problems, do you understand?" Daisy asked.

"Yes ma" she replied, her trembling body reduced a little and a smile crept onto her face.

"What's your name?"

"Riley, ma"

"Get me some clothes Riley"

"Um, ma there are no–"

"Get me your then, we have the same body type" she interrupted.

"Okay ma" Riley replied and then left.

"Knock when you come back" Daisy called after her and then retreated back into the room.

A few minutes later, Riley came back with some of her clothes and Daisy took one and wore it.

"Another thing I need is food, I am starving here" she said.

"Um, ma, Lunch is being prepared. Do you want me to get a snack for you as you wait?" Riley asked.

"No, just call me when the food is ready," she replied.

"Okay ma"

"You can leave now"

"Yes ma"

As she left, Daisy went back to the bed and laid down.

Her stomach growled and she groaned, she blamed herself for refusing the snack that Riley offered.

Now she has to wait till food is ready and she doesn't even know if that will happen soon.

It felt like eternity for Daisy when Riley finally knocked on the door announcing that food was ready.

Before one could breath in and out, Daisy was already at the door.

She yanked up open only to see Riley standing without any food in sight.

"Are you the food, Riley?" She couldn't help but ask.

"No ma, Sir asked that you join him at the dining room for Lunch" she replied.

"Sure, lead the way" Daisy said and then came out of the door and closed the door.

She followed as the maid led her down the hallway.

They got to a very large door and Riley opened the door.

"He is waiting for you, ma" she said.

Daisy walked into the door and the first thing she noticed was how big it was.

It was a warm, inviting space that seemed to glow with an inner light.

The walls, painted a rich, creamy white seemed to absorb the soft, warm tones of the afternoon sun streaming through the large, crystal-clear windows.

A long, polished mahogany table, its surface gleaming like dark honey, dominated the room, surrounded by twelve high-backed chairs upholstered in a rich, velvet fabric.

As she walked closer to the table, she noticed a stunning gold chandelier hung above the table, casting lights across the room. The room was filled with the sweet scent of fresh flowers, a beautiful arrangement of red roses and white lilies adorning the center of the table.
