His Pretty Little Maid
His Pretty Little Maid
I will never forget that summer.
The day I lost everything.
My mother went missing and my father had fallen ill.
My younger brother had become a menace to society.
Debt had become my greatest enemy.
And no matter how many tables I waited or how many flowers I sold it wasn't enough.
Ruffian Black. The world's youngest billionaire and bachelor. The leader of the underworld.
I was desperate. I didn't want my father to die. I didn't want my brother to be killed by gang members.
I needed the money. That was the only way to save my family. It was my sole reason for venturing into his dark world.
And the perfect opportunity had presented itself—
Secretary
Are you here for the interview?
Sunny Grey
Yes. I'm Sunny Grey.
Secretary
Welcome Miss Grey. This way.
The elevator ride was short.
Secretary
This is as far as I'll be accompanying you. Good luck. 🙂
The day I walked into his office, I did it all for my family.
His voice was cool and crystalline. Somewhat soothing to ear. It was like a warm cup of coffee in the cold winter.
Ruffian Black
You're here early.
Sunny Grey
Early bird get the most worms. Right?
Ruffian Black
Are you calling me a worm?🤨
Sunny Grey
O-Ofcourse not. I'm really sorry if you took offensive—
He placed his finger on his lip. Signalling for me to be quiet. I immediately clamped my mouth shut.
Ruffian Black
There are three things I hate most in this world.
Ruffian Black
And people who can't take a joke.
Ruffian Black
Let's cut to the chase.
Ruffian Black
You applied to be a maid in the Black's Manor. Why?
Sunny Grey
I have experience serving others. I'm good at following instructions and I'm very hardworking.
He smirked. His slender fingers dipped inside the pocket of his black trousers. His eyebrow raised.
Ruffian Black
I know you didn't get all dressed up just to recite your resume. Look at you—
Ruffian Black
Now tell me the real reason you applied.
I glanced down at my black dress. It was my first time wearing anything of this sort. I couldn't hide my true intentions.
Ruffian Black
Isn't that why you're here?
Sunny Grey
My father is sick and my brother dropped out of University. I really need the money.
Sunny Grey
I've worked as a waitress. I've worked at a flowershop. I can cook. I can clean. I can do anything you ask of me. I'm the perfect candidate for you.
He rose from the his cushioned chair and strode over to where I sat. He was tall.
Ruffian Black
As my maid, your roles won't only involve cooking and cleaning.
Ruffian Black
I have other needs.
Ruffian Black
If you're the perfect candidate, then you won't have any problem signing this contract. Right?
I glanced down at the shiny black pen.
Ruffian Black
As soon as your signature is on paper, you're officially a maid of the Black's Manor.
I glanced back up at him. He was like an otherworldly creature. The rumours weren't just rumours. He was breathtaking in the flesh.
Ruffian Black
I don't have all day Sunny.
Sunny Grey
Why would you need me to satisfy your needs?
Ruffian Black
Are you questioning me?
Sunny Grey
N-no. I just need some time to think.
Ruffian Black
Think about what?
Sunny Grey
I don't want to become your plaything.
Ruffian Black
The choice is yours to make. Walk out of the room and go back to your dying family or sign this contract and save your family.
Ruffian Black
I'll give you 5 seconds.
Sunny Grey
That's not enough—
Sunny Grey
I said that's not enough—
His deep grey eyes peered into mine. Silence surrounded us. My heart felt as if it would explode at any minute.
Sunny Grey
I can't sell myself.
Sunny Grey
I'm not one of those women.
Ruffian Black
Five. Time's up.
I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat.
Ruffian Black
You can get everything you ever wanted. Your father's medical bills will be paid. Your brother will get to go to college. You'll be free of debt. And you'll be working hard too.
He leaned closer. The smell of his cologne was intoxicating.
There was no way out for me.
Ruffian Black
Sign it Sunny. Do the right thing.
Ruffian Black
That's what you came here for. You said it yourself—you're the perfect candidate.
Some may find me disgusting.
Others will say I'm filthy.
But aren't we all humans after all?
The pen scribbled my signature across the paper.
Ruffian Black
Welcome to my world.
Sunny Grey
I'm yours, Mr Black.

Leaving Home
The old wood creaked underneath the weight of my feet.
Sunny Grey
Remember to take your pills. One in the morning and one in the night.
My father's voice was weak.
Father
But where are you going?
Sunny Grey
Uh at a restaurant. The usual.
I couldn't tell my father I was a maid. He'd probably get a heart attack.
Sunny Grey
Yep. I'll be gone for most of the time. But don't worry, Sage will be here to help you.
Father
Okay. Be safe. I love you.
Sunny Grey
I love you too.
I grabbed my suitcase filled with clothes and other necessities. I head downstairs.
I was startled by my brother's voice.
Sunny Grey
What are you doing here?
Sunny Grey
I didn't know you'd return after your little tantrum.
Sage Grey
Shut up. I live here.
Sunny Grey
I really wish you didn't.
I murmured those words for fear he'd take offense.
He placed his cigarette into the ashtray.
Sage Grey
What's with the luggage? Where are you heading?
He stood up and circled around me.
Sage Grey
Are you wearing makeup?
Sage Grey
Did you buy a new dress?
Sunny Grey
None of your business.
Sage Grey
Wherever you go and whatever you do is my business.
Sage Grey
Did you find a sugar daddy?
Sage Grey
Are you going on a date?
Ever since mom disappeared, Sage had become a new person. He was violent.
Sage Grey
Are you selling yourself?
His voice was filled with amusement.
Sage Grey
Look at you. Acting all innocent. If dad found out you're a little wh¤re, what would he think? 😏
Excitement danced in his eyes.
Sunny Grey
All that smoking and drinking must have gone to your head.
Sage Grey
How much did you sell yourself for?
Sunny Grey
I didn't sell myself a$$h¤le.
Sage Grey
Or maybe 10 million?
Sage Grey
Can I get 5 bucks?
I was disgusted by the grin on his face. For a moment I thought he actually cared about me.
I dragged my luggage outside and hailed a cab. A part of me was happy to be away from my twisted brother.
Ruffian Black
You have 5 minutes to get here. If you're late, I don't know what might happen to you.

The Black Box
The taxi driver was going as fast as he could.
Sunny Grey
Please hurry. It's an emergency.
I kept checking my phone.
Sunny Grey
How the hell am I gonna get there in 5 minutes 😭
Sunny Grey
Please hurry sir. It's really important.
Sunny Grey
I'll pay you extra. Just please get me there within 5 minutes.
Taxi Driver
I'm trying my best young lady.
Sunny Grey
Please drive faster.
Sunny Grey
I need to get to the Black Box.
The car came to a sudden stop. The tires screech as they slid across the asphalt.
Taxi Driver
Did you say The Black Box?
Taxi Driver
I can't take you there. Get out.
Taxi Driver
Do you want me to die? That place is full of killers. I can't take you there.
Sunny Grey
Atleast tell me the direction.
I was forced out of the taxi before he sped off.
Sunny Grey
ATLEAST TELL ME WHERE TO GO!
I yelled after the vehicle.
Sunny Grey
Shxt. I'm screwed now. ☹
I was in the middle of nowhere.
It was a straight road ahead.
Sunny Grey
I guess I'll be my own transportation.
I hauled my suitcase behind me.
Sunny Grey
Damn these heels are starting to rub 😣
My feet were wobbling as I waddled along the roadside.
Sunny Grey
Hope I don't break my ankle before the day ends 😣
I began the journey to nowhere.
The sky darkened. Loud rumbles of thunder sounded above me
Sunny Grey
This can't be happening—
Sunny Grey
What have I done to deserve this? 😫
I felt a sudden sharp pain in my stomach.
The rain came pouring down.
Sunny Grey
Ugh my stomach 😖 it hurts.
It felt as if someone was plunging a knife in my abdomen.
Sunny Grey
I can't stay here much longer.
I looked around. There were no passing vehicles. My phone had no signal.
I forced myself to start walking again. I was soaked in the sudden downpour.
The pain in my stomach got worse. I felt nauseous. I didn't know how much longer I could keep going.
I spotted a large maple tree ahead.
