" How is she? Is she still not coming out of her room?" One of the girls asked.

" Yes it’s the same. I tried but she didn’t want to see anyone."

" You told me that she is still having that nightmare right? But we are safe now, they even promised us that they would sent us away if we wanted it to happen."

" I know but didn’t you hear they want us to keep living here for few months for that to happen. After what everyone has been through, it’s hard for them to trust people."

The girls that Samuel rescued formed a small coalition according to their native languages. There were peoples from middle east, some from poor european countries while rest were fleeing harsh reality of war.

These incursions might be small in the eyes of world scale but for them, they lost everything that they hold dear to them. Those that were fortunate could be considered as the one that were kidnapped against their will and still had some home to return to while the unlucky ones were sold off like slaves to those that could give their families money.

If there were too many girls in the household, they would either resort to whisking them away to make some money to lessen the burden of carrying for large families. Girls were often seen as hindrance requiring either money to be wed or not having luxury to enjoy the same privilege as men in the house.

Sons were said to support their parents in old age while daughters were set to make the life of their in laws fruitful, such were the concepts in the rural areas were most of them were from. The most unfortunate ones dared to chose this life because they knew if they didn’t their sick parents or siblings wouldn’t get the help they needed in dire needs.

Having such heavy burden on their shoulder when they were so young would obviously mess up with their brains leaving them hopeless and destitute. Not to mention life after selling themselves wasn’t rosy, after being passed around most of them were discarded as used goods.

Living in that hellhole left obvious scar on their heart and mind. Even when Samuel provided them with luxuries they had never imagined or seen, it wasn’t hard for them to become cynical. Among all eighteen of them there were only a handful who were strong willed to keep on living.

Three girls that he saved who barely escaped Richard’s clutches unharmed were among the most sane ones in the group. One was from Belarus, another from Ukraine and the last one from Romania but coincidently their hometown was quite close to the border which meant they spoke common language which was Romanian.

They were barely adult, even the people who brought them to this country didn’t know their exact age. For them, what mattered was looks and how ’clean’ the girls were as required by their client. Living inside the warehouse, they became steadfast friends. It also helped that they arrived only few days of one another.

Other than them, few people who were from South America formed another coalition. There were a total of six of them, they also joined these girls to take care of their fellow ’brethrens’. They would take upon themselves to talk with others even if they didn’t understand one another, it was fine as long as they keep them engaged.

Although each person was going through their own personal hell but despite the harsh reality, they formed a strong bond and protected one another. They might be beautiful on the outside but most of their wounds were inside their bodies. At least no one tried to do the unthinkable with someone looking after each and everyone of them.

" But... I think they are trying to help us."

" Is that what you think? Maybe everyone is a paid actor trying to lower our guards or they are just waiting for us to make a mistake. Why would they bring us here instead of taking us to police?"

" You heard what Miss Nicole said-"

" Why would you ever listen to that stuck up maid cosplayer-" Right when she was about to hurl more insult toward Nicole, she appeared behind the girl and lightly tapped her shoulder.

" Miss Willa, is it so hard for you to believe that I am a genuine maid?" She said with a smile on her face but it was icy cold to look at.

" You- How...what?" Willa was so shocked because they never even heard the door open or her movements.

" As a maid, it’s important to hide your presence so that we don’t disturb our guests. If you keep doubting me, you would never learn how to become a full fledged maid." Nicole said rubbing Willa’s head. It wasn’t gentle but a rough patting probably because she couldn’t outright hit the kid.

Willa was shorter around five feet with natural short brown hair, she barely had any muscle or fat on her body and could easily pass as a man if she tried to. She was cute with pretty face and bright green eyes but her personality was nothing short of a genuine tomboy.

" Who said I want to be like you!? And why are you treating me like a kid! I am three months older than you!" Willa hissed but she didn’t dare to put up arms against her mortal enemy.

It was inconsequential to think that she would think Nicole as her enemy when they just met but for some reason, her face just irked her especially that professional maid attire that she wore pridefully as she walked around the place like she was someone important!

" Willa, why are you so difficult whenever it comes to Miss Nicole?"

" It’s alright, Miss Polina, Miss Irina. I think I know what’s the problem is."

" Bitch! Are you sure?" Willa spat back.

" I just think you need a proper introduction to what it needs to be a maid. The first lesson, not to use any vulgar language, if you do you will be punished accordingly." Nicole said while grinning.

" Punish? Why don’t you ask your ’master’ to do that? Don’t you need his permission?" Nicole’s face crumbled when the little girl mentioned Samuel. She would be fine if they hurl insults at her or even berated her but she wouldn’t accept any disrespect toward her master!
