Chapter 11 of chapter 4 Don't believe

Mercy was roaming around the room in one direction thinking on what to do and was bother by Mr. Mount offer while her legs counts along with her thoughts..

"Mr. Mount is up to something, he can't give for free" she said. Her eyes fell on the sleeping boy. He was sleeping peaceful and smiling in his sleep. She had never seen him sleep so peaceful before. He must be happy to live here. Mercy felt guilt, she was hiding a big secret from her son. 

The boy had believe his father was dead and gone unknown to him, he was in his father room .  What if the boy later find out and not from her but for someone. Will he forgive her, understand her option of her decision.

She smiled, seat on the bed side close to the boy. Her hands plays on his curly little hair and pulled the loosen strand from his face.

"You will be free without his help" she whispered, kissed his forehead. 

'The door braks, she turned looking frighten, who was knocking at door as late at the night. 

She looked up the clock and saw the time had runs faster than she expected. It was 2:30am already in the next day.

The door braks again, this time almost get her running. She was trembling, she wasn't expecting anyone this late at night and neither did she want that bastard to come to her room, that certain her fear.

"Who....is ... there?" She stermmer.

"It me Lady Elsie" the voice called.

Indeed the voice sounds familiar like the maid who attended to her firstly when she entered.

"Please can you open up lady Elsie. I have something to tell you" 

When Mercy done recognizing the voice, she stood up and walked up to the door.

It was indeed the maid, her calculation was right. The same maid. She enter and wave a smile at  her. 

"Why are you here at the hours of the night?" Comes immediate question from Mercy. What to important that she wants to talk about that couldn't wait until the sun was up. 

"I want to tell you something important" she whispered, like they're in the public place.

"What do you want to say that you couldn't for the sun to set first. " 

"It about the lord" she whispered again. What the ideal. "He is up to no good. Please you have to be careful. Everything had been a play to get you back in the mansion with him."  The lady tried to explained but her explanation about the maid showing up at her room door did make a  sense! 

"Lady Mercy, you need to leave as soon as possible if you want to live with your son" 

Is that a threat? She hadn't gotten the chance to asked the maid her name or even why she  is here in the first place. 

"What your name please?" She asked to shut the maid up. Since she got in, she haven't stop talking. It isn't that Mercy didn't understand what she was saying. Of course, she clearly understand her word and the warning but what she couldn't understand was the fact of all these was a plan work. 

What she saying that Mrs Brett also knowns about her true identity and pretend to recognize her.  She knows Mrs Brett can never be that petty, she is not like the man she married...

She can't do each a thing to her all because of her husband. No, she didn't believe the words of the maid, if it was about she getting away from the house, she was fine with that not including Mrs Brett as a bad culprit in this.

She had known Mrs Brett for a year and know what she can do or not do. Mrs Brett is a good person and all her intention was pure to Mercy. 

All she knows that Mrs Brett couldn't allowed her and her son suffer on the street that the reason she asked them to come live with her. What is the maid saying now, it doesn't means a sense in one bit to her.

"My name is  Thea" she said

"Thea? I think you get the wrong intention about Mrs Brett, she is not like the man she married. She can't do each a thing. I know you must have known me before for working here as Mrs Brett handmaid. Don't you ?" 

Thea nods. Of course she knows her.

CHAPTER 11 OF CHAPTER 4 DON'T BELIEVE

"I have worked for her over all these years.then I know the woman you are naming" she said harshly. She can't take it if anyone insults Mrs. Brett's in front of her. 

What's this woman saying? She came here to save her ass and all she could say that Mrs Brett was a good person. Who said that she was a bad person before. She just can't get it!  Thea thought to herself. 

"I am not saying Mrs Brett isn't a nice person. Of course, she is the best when it comes to caring and understanding but I want you to know that she was aware of you!" Thea scolds. She is getting impatient on trying to explain to the woman who was refusing to see that. 

"See, Thea. The night is late I need to catch up with some sleep. I know you don't like me ever since I step in. You have be looking ate with suspicious eyes since then. You don't have to worry I would soon leave I never planned to stay here for a long time" she said quietly well.

Thea slaps her face. This woman was impossible to conceived. How can someone even get her trust? She is getting the situation wrong. Here she was trying to tell her that Mrs Brett knows she was the same Mercy. That she had been playing along to get her back to her husband because that what he wants. 

She wanted to tell her, he had threatened Mrs Brett life and that of her daughter that if she didn't found Mercy and brings her back into the mansion, her life would be  living hell. 

But it seem telling this woman anything was another war to fight first. She sneak out of her room to tell her to be careful and planned how she can leave here as soon as possible, even hearing the risk she was taking on herself but this woman makes her effort for waste! 

"Iike I have said before I would like to have my sleep now. Can you please leave?" 

Thea sighed " it a waste coming here in the first place" she said and scoop out of the room.. Quickly, Mercy run to the door and locked it. She was trying to think about what the maid just said. Was it true Mrs Brett is aware of her identity, or was she indeed pretending she didn't recognized her. 

That stupid! Her Face had changed alot over all these years of working hard under the sun to survive  and it had been 10 years. Of course her reflection would change over the time. 

She waved those thoughts out of her haed and glanced at her beautiful son. He is such good looking just like his father but she don't want he to take after his father bad image in life. She would be here to protect him from him. 

She kissed his forehead again and laid down beside him, her hands spread to cover the boy in her embrace. 

Such a lovely boy she had as a son....

Thea stromed out angrily, she can't believe after all she did to sneak out of her room against the rules of the house just to explain things to her but she was bounced her out! 

What a stupid woman! She was here worry herself over someone who didn't wants to leave the house again. 

That makes her angry!

"I should have stayed in my room and mind my business. The person I was even trying to save do not want to be saved. I guess she does enjoy the sex scenes he gives you she years ago that guess why she's back. Since she missed it, gosh! Can't anything get better in the house?"  She must while walking in the corridor which is lighten with lanterns hang on the wall 

"What are you doing in the dark?" A deep terrifying voice echoed in the corridor. 

Thea stops walking, her legs were shaking. Hell no! Mr. Mount, how would she explained herself now. She should have stayed in her room the first place and mind her business now, she had gotten into the devil trap. 

"I asked you a question Thea, what are you doing in the dark at this night while your mates are sleeping?" 

"Milord" she turned and bowed, not even looking at the person face in front of her.

"You haven't answered my question Thea, this would be the last time I would repeat myself!" 

"I can't sleep Sir!" She shouted, not wanting to provoked the beast in front of her. 

"Why? Why can't you sleep?" He asked with so much consign in his tone. The lady face was still on the floor.

"I was giving a bad dream, that the reason milord"

"And you choose to walk out?" 

"Yes Milord, to clear the bad dream from my mind" 

"Hmm? I see," in what she was saying, he believes she was lying but chose to play along with her play. 

"Have the bad dream gone off?" 

"Yes Milord the off my mind now, I was going back to my room before you called milord" 

"Are you sure your bad dream is gone?" He asked again, trying to twist her mind if she would eventually say something else. He knows the direction she was coming from was the guest room. And he wondered what this maid went to talked to Mercy about. 

He was heading to the that direction eh was spot she coming from her room grumbling along the way. He knows for sure this lady must had links her mouth to blabbing about something to Mercy. 

Since he couldn't get to Mercy, maybe she had to play on the Mercy role only this night.

"Lift your head, and follow me" he command.

The maid heart pounds faster on her chest. What the hell, did he wants to do with her. She had heard stories of him but have never be a victim to such event before despite her ten years of working in the mansion...

Her head was still facing the ground as she found it difficult to even breath in that state.

When Mr. Mount turned and see the lady was not following him, he snapped " what are you waiting for!"
