i was bedridden for two years, it was surprising that i still knew how to drive. and i was finally out of the hospital, using the gps on my phone i drove to the villa alec gifted me, once you reached the vicinity of the of villa, you had to pass two gates, one at the farthest part of the villa and another close to the villa before you could meet the mansion itself and the two gates had maximum security, no one, i mean no one not even the president could cross without permission from the owner. driving towards the first gate, i slowed down stopping right across the gate, expecting someone to come and inspect my car the gate opened automatically once it sensed my car
surprised i waited longer, for anybody to come out, no one was coming the gate was open, i could easily put two and two together and i drove past the first gate. it took roughly ten minutes to get to the next gate and it opened before i even decided to stop, i kept driving into the villa, the compound was beautiful, flowers bloomed everywhere, a beautiful fountain stood at the centre, parking my car i stepped out, walking to the entrance a man stood there, i walked towards him, he bowed to greet me, he looked familiar but yet i still could not recognize him "good morning mistress, i am george your butler" he said with his head down, the name rang in my head, it reminded me of when i was younger a driver lost his job because of me, he had the same name
looking at him i had the urge to ask if he had ever worked for the maqburne family, but i held back i was no longer estella i could not risk anyone finding out i was still alive, but i felt relief knowing that i was familiar with my butler, smiling at him i said "good morning george, it a pleasure meeting you" "please let me show you to the master's bedroom" he said turning around and entering into the building, walking inside i was impressed by the interior design, it was neither too much nor too little, the furniture arrangements were also very good. we climbed the stair case leading to the second floor, walking passed three doors before finally reaching the final door at the end of the hallway
bringing out a key george unlocked the door, opening it he gave way for me to enter the room, i walked in removing the key from the key hole he handed it to me "please here is your key mistress", taking the keys from him, he bowed "would you like to have lunch" he asked. thinking about it i hadn't eaten when i left the hospital, my stomach growled in agreement turning to him "yes please, i would love to eat lunch". bowing one more time he walked away, closing the door i turned around to look at my room, it was a big room, twice the size of the one i grew up in. the interior design was silver with black undertone, the bed was dressed with silver sheets, the curtains were black with silver design, the walls where painted silver with black design.
there was a couch situated by the side of the room, it was black, the side stool was made of glass, walking to the door opposite my bed, it was the bathroom, and it was the size of my old room. it was covered in grey tiles, the bathtub was separate from the shower, staring at the bathtub made me feel like taking off my and having a bubble bath. walking out of the bathroom i looked around for the closet or atleast a place to keep clothes there was none and where there was supposed to be a closet, there was another door walking towards the door there was no knob only a button, clicking the button, the door opened and i walked into another room for clothes, a walk-in closet almost as big as the bedroom itself and it was filled with clothes, probably his clothes
i thought but taking a closer look, they were actually women's clothes and from the brand i normally shopped from, i wasnt going to jump into any conclusion so i admired the closet one more time and walked out. there was a knock on the door, "who's there?" i said walking towards the door "its the maid, mistress" opening the door a young lady not to young tho probaby in her late thirties stood at the door with a maid uniform, she had black hair that was packed neatly into a bun with black eyes "welcome mistress, i am vivian" she said bowing, responding with a nod i stood waiting for any other thing she had to tell me "you have visitors miss" already, i just got here, i wondered who wanted to see me, but i wasnt in the mood to see anybody "tell whoever the person is to come back later, i'm in no mood to see anyone" "yes miss" the maid replied, turning around to walk away i closed the door.
