THE BLACK MARKET,
BOLIVIA.
Marigold stared at the dress which she had on her body, her face had disgust shown on it, she would never refer this as a dress, it consist of straps that was join together to produce a clothing like that of a jump suit.
Instead this wasn't decent as her skin and areas which was meant to be beneath the eyes to see were expose for world to see.
"What is this"
She asked using her hands to cover her bosoms, at that time Martha walked in.
"Its time"
She informed and the ladies smiled leaving Marigold confused.
"It's time for what ma'am,and why I'm I dressed like this, I'm sorry to burst your bubbles okay but I'm not a prostitute, its only only a prostitute that dress the way I am dressed"
Marigold said
"Well for someone whose mother had just been wiped out from the earth surface, I didn't expect her to be so chatty, I thought she was gonna be moody and all that, looks like you never loved your mom as you claim sweetheart"
Martha responded and that got Marigold utterance changed.
"To tell you a secret, I never liked her especially when she worked for Mr Denwick, I can't believe that she had the effrontery to steal a whooping sum of nine hundred thousand dollars ($900,000)"
Martha said which made Marigold shocked.
"My mom would never work in a place like this okay, she isn't a thief and neither is she a slut like you are"
Marigold defended as anger rushed through her veins, she felt a sting on her left cheeks and then she realized that Martha had slapped her.
Dragging her head which was still hurting a bit, Martha slapped her again
"Your mom was more than a slut foolish girl, believe me when I say a slut is the least definition of what your mother truly was..."
She pushed a crying Marigold to the ground.
'If it was my decision, I would certainly have you killed, now ladies take her to the auction hall let's get rid of her, she'll worth perhaps a hundred thousand dollars ($100,00) or more"
"What do you want to do to me"
Marigold stammered as tears strolled down her cheeks.
"I had wanted you to find out on your own but it will be much fun to see the reaction on your face, young girl you are about to be sold of at a auction not by anyone but by men whose eyes are filled with lust and hunger for sex, let's see who the real slut is"
Martha laughed as she left the room, the ladies walked up to a crying Marigold and pulled her up.
They blindfolded her and began leading her out of the room heading for the hall.
THE ALEJANDRO'S MANSION,
BOLIVIA.
Marigold who had been blindfolded sat on the ground unaware of the environment in which she was in, all she knew was that she had been here for a long time without food and water.
As she leaned on the wall, she heard the door opening which made her aware that someone was in the same space as she.
"Get the blindfold off her face, will you"
A voice said and in no time the blindfold came off her eyes.
Opening her eyes, she had to close it back due to the rays of sun that shone towards her.
"You must be the new slave, I'll be your guardian"
She looked towards the direction to see that it was a middle aged lady.
"Where am I, what am I doing here"
She stammered as nervousness was clearly seen on her face due to the three pairs of eyes that was staring at her now excluding the middle aged lady.
"You are at the Alejandro mansion and you'll be working with us as a slave, I know perhaps you think your duty is to be a sex toy to the young master, no you won't instead you'll be his personal maid, you will assist him in everything he wants and ensure you keep him happy at most times"
The middle aged lady who goes by the name, Niveah responded
Marigold stared at the ladies who whispered among themselves which made her uncomfortable.
No one need to tell her that this job wouldn't be the best thing to ever happen to her in her life. She was taken aback when something was dropped at her front
"That will be your uniform and you are expected to change into it after taking your bath"
Niveah informed her and took her leave
The ladies who had come with her except one who was assigned to stay back to assist her get ready, Marigold tried getting up but her leg shook profusely which got her back on the ground, it got the lady attention as she walked up to her
"You should be careful okay"
The lady said in a nice and meek voice which made Marigold look at her and then she noticed that the lady might be the same age as her due to the small statue or perhaps not.
"I am Josie by name and I'll be assisting you in everything you need to know about the young master" Josie introduced herself " but first we need to get you washed up you stink so bad"
Marigold gave a slight chuckle due to the way she had mimicked Niveah's voice.
"Yeah I guess I need to, I've been here for a long period of time"
Marigold agreed to her suggestion
"You've been here for two days, that's the shortest period any of the servant stayed, you are actually lucky yunno"
Josie said
"How long did you stay in here"
Marigold asked
"Two fucking weeks"
Marigold stared at her shocked as she began to wonder how she was able to cope without food or water.
*****
It has been three weeks Marigold arrived here and she had already gotten accustomed to the family, also the servants around the house most importantly Josie who was perhaps more than a friend to her.
They had become sisters or rather inseparable as they are seen together wen they aren't on their duty post.
The females among the servants hated her due to the fact that she has to see Miguel Alejandro every fucking day and attends to his needs, this was something they all wanted to do.
If only they knew what she had to endure as a servant to Miguel, they wouldn't wish to be in her position, at first he was nice, kind, caring and very compassionate but after he came back home drunk that day, he changed.
He became aggressive, cold and get angry at any slightest thing she or anyone did, she tried talking to him yesterday, she wanted to know the reason for his sudden change of attitude but he had slapped her.
Recalling the slap, Marigold sighed as she palmed her cheeks and continued washing the dishes, unknown to her someone had been by the door staring at her.
"Hey"
The person called which got her startling as the plate in her hands shook wanting to fall but her fast reflex caught it before it could.
She turned and faced the individual to see that it was Miguel, she lowered her eyes as a sign of respect.
"Good day Sir"
He paused to stared at her shocked at the fact that she had referred him to as 'Sir'
"What's the Sir all about"
She gulped down her saliva as she watched him take slow strides towards her, in no time she was trapped as he had her pinned to the counter.
"Sir, the position in which we re is inappropriate, it'll gt people who see us talking"
Miguel chuckled, he brought his hands to her face and began caressing her cheekbones which did something to her body, something she had never felt in her entire life before, this feeling was new to her.
Miguel noticed the way her body had reacted to his touch and a smile curved his lips
"I'm sorry for the way I had treated you the past few weeks, I had an emotional breakdown, I'm sorry"
Marigold didn't say anything as she tried to break free from his hold but it was to no avail, he held unto her waist tight not giving her any chances to do so.
"It is very rude to not say anything when someone especially me just apologized to you"
Miguel said as he diverted his lips to her neck region and brushed it against it.
She wasn't aware of her actions until he stopped, she open her eyes to see that her hands had gripped his collar, immediately she loosened her grip her cheeks flushed red due to embarrassment.
"I'm sorry and yes you are forgiven"
She stylishly pushed him away from her as she went back to taking care of the dishes.
"Really, so you and I can go back to being friends right"
He asked
"Yeah sure"
She was nervous as her thought was clouded wh what just happened and the way she had reacted
"Or perhaps more than friends"
He muttered to her hearing which got her to halt at what she was doing, Miguel leaned on the counter as he stared at her noticing her gracious features in which she was blessed with.
Marigold who was nervous about where the decision was heading, decided to change the conversation.
"What happened that you changed, what was the emotional breakdown all about"
She asked which made him groan out
"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to"
"No, I will, my girlfriend and I broke up"
He informed her and she stared at him perplexed
"Really, how could you do that to Jenna, with what you had told me she's a sweet soul, so why did you do it"
She questioned
"Why do you think I was the one who broke up with her, what if it was vice versa"
She took her gaze back to the dishes
"You told me that yo can never allow a lady break your heart instead you'll break her heart and shatter it in 100 and 10 pieces, so surely its you that broke up with her"
She responded
"Is that the reason you hide what you feel for me" He asked and she began to cough or rather choke at what he had said
"What are you saying Miguel"
She had wanted to walk away from him and head to the store room but he stopped her.
"Why do you keep running away from me, why Mari" He had his hands around her waist and pulled her towards him "I broke up with Josie because I'm in love with you, I love you Marigold"
She stared at him shocked at what he had said, did he just professed his love for her.
"Miguel you shouldn't say that, what if someone hears you, you can't say that, I will be punished if your mom hear you say such"
"She won't do such thing Mari, if that's the reason you are scared, she wont hurt you, I promise I'll protect you"
He said
"Miguel I do...….."
He interrupted her by interlocking his lips on hers, the kiss wasn't what one can refer to as a slow and passionate kiss, instead it was rough, intense and a wild one.
Marigold who had tried her best not to reciprocate found herself doing so, although she couldn't match up to his pace.
The crashing of plates disrupted them, Marigold pushed him away making him stagger backwards as he licked his bottom lips.
She turned to see Josie staring at them shocked.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been here, I'll be leavi...."
"I was just about to do so, next time don't interrupt whatever you see going on between us, go away and pretend you didn't see anything"
He interrupted Josie and turned leaving
Marigold looked away as she avoided eye contact with Josie who was few meters away from her
"Did I just see your lips on Miguel Alejandro"
"It isn't like that okay, I didn't know when he did so, he kissed me and I found myself reciprocating to his kisses"
Marigold said looking away from Josie's piercing gaze
"Girl, you are so in love with him"
Josie squeeked
Marigold palmed her lips as she stared daggers at her
"Firstly, don't shout it okay, you know that I'm not in Mrs Getty good book, I don't want to get in trouble and secondly I'm not in love with him okay, we just kissed and that's it"
"Who kissed who"
A voice asked and they turned to see Niveah
"I was talking about my love life and all that before I had started a new life here"
Marigold lied
Niveah looked at Josie who gave a nod of affirmation to what she had just said
"No more chatting about your love life and all that, go back to your stations right now and Marigold, Miguel needs you to attends to his needs"
Marigold only nodded and took her leave while Josie looked at Niveah before she took her leave.
