Chapter 44

They whispered about something behind us as we moved inside the mansion that looked like a castle. Andre wrapped me in his coat as we walked between the servants that arrayed around us, like we were royalty. I guess can make anyone turn a slave in front of the employer.

The servants had matched outfits; the men wore black suits and glasses while the women had maid outfits, a typical mixture between white and black. I felt weird looking at all the wealth the Rousseau had. I felt like I was going inside another era, where technology didn't exist and swords were the weapon people spoke about.

The first thing Andre did was to take me to a chamber and leave me behind, stating he had things to do. I didn't feel like asking him since he won't even answer. If he intended to tell me, he wouldn't say things. I had to put my phone to charge, to call Darcie since this is the second day I won't be home. It's frustrating. She must have worried.
