Rights to Miss Nadia Coleman

My eyes opened wide and I could feel my ears rise lightly. 

"Wait, what? Mr Jason has a son"?

Kay simply smiled and walked away. 

'He has a son this grown'?

'Who is the mom'?

'No way, could she be dead'?

'Did she run away'?

So many things flashed into my head all at once. I mean, it's not weird for him to be a father. I just never imagined it.

Thinking once again, I bumped into someone. This time around, it was a maid. 

"Watch where you are going, will you? You can be daft but don't show it in front of me"!

She yelled. I didn't know why I was being so clumsy today neither did I understand why they were all being so rude. Well, at least this one didn't try to hide the fact that she doesn't like me. As a matter of fact, she showed it all too well. 

"And who do you think you are talking to like that"?

I heard someone speak. It almost sounded like the person was defending me. 

I turned and saw that it was my personal maid. This lady was probably my mate or even younger but I guess she was a hot shot around here. The maid who looked like she was about to slap me just now was bowing her head and looked quite scared.

"I'm, I'm sorry Kanada, I was just defending myself".

"Defending yourself from what? You be careful Mikky, that's if you don't want to lose your job".

I just kept looking at both of them and I was a bit speechless with how this lady called Kanada spoke. She sounded extremely educated, domineering and something in her screamed she wasn't a normal maid but I couldn't quite place my mind on it. 

Just then, something popped into my head.

'Was she intentionally assigned to me so she can keep an eye on me'?

I asked myself and there I was, wondering off again but I was snapped out of it immediately.

"Miss Nadia"?

Kanada called me and I immediately turned to look at her. 

"Yes"?

I answered

"Do you need something"?

She asked and I shook my head indicating that I didn't need anything.

"I'd suggest you stay in your room and learn all you need to. If you need me, all you need to do is call".

Her tone sounded strict and it was obvious she didn't like me but the fact that she defended me got me confused. 

She said nothing else and just walked away. 

'Waaa, everyone in this house is weird'.

To be honest, I was very hungry, I just couldn't say it. I didn't eat anything last night before my parents sold me and I haven't had anything throughout the day. 

I was so hungry but I didn't have anyone to say that to. 

I was about to go back to my room upstairs when I met Jason. He kept looking at me with those emotionless eyes that didn't make me know what exactly it was that he was thinking. 

"Are you hungry"?

He suddenly asked but before I could answer, my tummy grumbled in response so I bent my head in embarrassment.

Nadia had bent her head so she didn't get to see the smile on Jason's face. Jason looked at her and thought of how a lady could be so cute. 

She captured his attention without even knowing it. 

As soon as Nadia looked back up, Jason was back to his cold face making her feel she had offended him or something. He began walking past her.

"Let's get something to eat".

He said as he walked away and I immediately went after him.

'I don't think I'll ever be able to understand this man'.

I said in my mind as we walked towards the dining room. 

Now it was evening already and just like that, my first day in Mr Jason's mansion was almost over. 

I was about to talk to him about my time limit and the exact amount my dad owed him but then, the aroma of the food penetrated my nose, making me forget about every other thing.

It was when I had cleared everything from my plate that I finally looked up and noticed that he was looking right at me.

'Great, now he'll just think I'm a pig'.

I smiled lightly to get rid of the discomfort I was feeling and then, thanked him for the meal. 

I noticed he didn't eat more than two spoons from his food and then I looked back at my plate.

'Great job Nadia, great job. Good lord help me digest this food in peace'.

He stood up and began walking away but I stood up as well and began following him.

When we had gotten to the third floor and he noticed I was still following him, he turned around and looked at me. 

"Do you have something to say"?

He asked with his voice so deep and pretty mesmerizing. 

'Ughh crazy girl'.

I cautioned myself for having such thoughts and answered his question.

"Uhmm actually, I wanted to talk to you about the money my father owes you".

He raised his brow and it almost looked like he was feigning ignorance to what I was talking about.

I waited for him to say something but he just remained silent and kept looking at me.

"Mr Jason"?

I called him lightly.

"Come with me".

That was all he said before he began walking away again. 

We finally got to his study and he asked me to sit. 

He opened his drawer and brought out an envelope. It looked like it contained documents. He then passed it to me. I looked at him trying to confirm if I was supposed to open it or not. 

"Open it".

I heard him speak and I immediately did so.

After opening it, the next thing I saw surprised me.

*RIGHTS TO MISS NADIA COLEMAN*

I read through the document and it appears my parents didn't just give me to this man so I could pay their debts, they sold me to him and even got extra cash.

"I guess you didn't understand what I meant when I said you are mine now".

My eyes opened wide as I looked away from the document and looked at him
