Chapter 6

My brother will be coming to spend some time with me, when he comes behave yourself, if he asks you any questions don't answer him , do you understand" , he said putting on his belt..

"Yes master " , I said bowing my head sniffing..

And one more thing when my brother is here address me as Clinton and not master " , he said exiting my room..

After he left I couldn't move.

For one thing I was weak and it was a death sentence to do so

For the past one month my life in this place has been hell!

I still don't know what my dad did that made master Clinton look this determined to hurt me. I'm going to try my best to find out

Ma'am, a voice came from the door jolting me out of my thought...I knew it was one of the maid..

Ma'am your breakfast..

I was relieved. At least I was going to eat now

Later in the day..

Ma'am, master Clinton said you should come down stairs that his brother is here..

Ok .. I said in reply..

I tried as much as possible to walk painlessly.

Bella meet my brother", Mr Clinton said when he saw me climbing down the stairs..

Hi Leonel , his brother said stretching his hands for a hand shake...

Bella, I said collecting the handshake from him..

You're beautiful he said still holding my hands

Thanks I said forcing a smile..

Ummmm Liam, Mr Clinton called..

Yes bro..

Go to your room and rest so you can come down stairs for dinner he said ..

Okay bro..he said..

When his brother left, he turned to me and said;

I'm watching you..

Two weeks on.

I was downstairs having breakfast. Luckily for me master Clinton had come back tired yesterday, so, it was one of my free days

Good morning.. I said to Leonel when I saw him coming to join me at the dining table

Good morning. How was your night?

Fine

So, Bella..Leonel said taking a seat. Sorry, I've been busy. Haven't had time to chat with you

So, tell me about yourself,how you met my brother and so on

There is nothing to know..I said

He looked up, for the past two weeks I have been studying you guys and I can't seem to understand the vibe between you two. So tell me..

I looked at him for a while and I said;

Can I trust you Lee?

Yes ..he said carefully

Ok.. I said looking around

I don't really know why I'm here. Maybe you could help me talk to your brother. I hope with your help, I can know about it.. I whispered pleadingly

Ok. I will try..he said

I nodded and said thanks

Your awake..I heard Clinton say

Oh,bro. Good morning..Lee said

And how was your night? ..

Fine ..

Good morning..I said

But he didn't answer. He just continued talking to his brother

So, what will you be doing today.. Clinton asked lee
