Chapter 3 Living Hell

" Become our Slave" Ethan replied, and I froze. " What?" " Either you pay for the icon or become our Slave" Reese answered. ' Become their slave?' I thought in astonishment. ' What did they see me as?' I wondered. There is no way in hell I am accepting such an offer. I will not bring myself to such a level. " No" I replied boldly and got up to my feet. Kaden and Reese turned to look at one another, before giggling, while Ethan kept observing me, with a blank expression, not saying anything to my answer. " No," I repeated. I had my pride, and was not going to stoop low, to being just an ordinary maid. " The other alternative, if you do not want to pay us back, nor be our slave, is to get you arrested " Reese said, and I gulped, knowing I had no choice,but to accept, despite, not wanting to, for I could not risk getting arrested, for the sake of my mum especially. 'If I got arrested, who would continue to pay for her hospital bills?' I wondered, and decided to accept the brother's offer. I had no choice any longer,it was just to be their slave, for a couple of months right? " For how long?" I asked. " Till we decide to let you go" Kaden replied gently, and I arched my left eyebrow at him. " What?" I yelled. " Do you prefer getting arrested then?" Ethan asked and I gulped once more, swallowing my saliva. " Alright" I said reluctantly. " We did not hear you" Reese said,with an annoying smirk. I knew he did, but just wanted to frustrate me. " I will be your slave" I repeated and he grinned. " Now, that's more like it," He added. " Since we are done here, let's leave" Ethan told his brother, and made his way out of my apartment, without even sparing me a glance. Reese followed suit, not before, throwing me an evil smirk. I watched him walk out of my apartment and turned,only to squeal in fright. Kaden was right In front of me, bending towards my face, his lips almost touching me. I tried to move backward, but suddenly felt his arms around my waist, stopping me from moving. He was bending closer and closer to my lips. ' Does he perhaps want to kiss me?' I wondered in shock, and instantly flew away from his hold in panic, panting heavily, while wondering,if he saw me attractive, to want to kiss me. Just then, Kaden chuckled. " Do you really think I would kiss an Elephant like you?" He asked, and I felt my heart shattering to pieces at his words. " You are way too ugly for me to kiss" He added, disgust boldly written on his face. I felt tears at the brim of my eyes and I blinked it back. Just then, I felt something heavy, being shoved at me. I turn to look, and saw Kaden's backpack in my arms. I turned to look at him, in curiosity, wondering what I should do with it. " As our new slave, you are also entitled to do my assignments" He told me with a grin, before walking pass me, and out of my house, slamming the door loudly behind me. I remained there stunned, knowing fully well,I just entered the burning lake, by accepting to be their slave. The worst part was, I had no idea, when I would be freed. 'Probably never, and the way I see it, those triplets plans to make my life, a living hell.' I thought. ************** Life for me, has been complete hell, ever since, I became the triplet's maid. If I was not doing their assignments for them, I was running their errands, or picking up a burger, or something, for either of them. It soon seemed like, I was their wet nurse. The only difference was, I was not changing their diapers. During their football games, I was always there with a basket, filled with their necessities for the game. A Face towel, to wipe off the sweats forming on their faces, and a bottle water, to calm their thirst. I barely even have time for myself any longer. This triplets, had frustrated me, to the extent, of waking me up every morning, with urgent calls, to come to their house, to prepare breakfast for them. ' How annoying, do they not have maids, in charge of those?' I always wondered, but dared not say it loud. Apart from the Triplet causing me headache, every single day, School had it's own issues too, and has not been easy at all. Like I suspected, the night I was embarrassed, the videos of Braden, rejecting me, was released on Social media. There is absolutely no one who does not make fun of me in school now, well, except the triplet, which is surprising. It's just like they did not care, they never brought up the topic again, after the time, they came to my apartment. Braden and Jessica,on the other hand, never failed to act lovey dovey in my presence. I still remember the foolish thing I did recently, I cornered Jessica one time, in the rest room, and asked her, why, they all did this to me. I mean, if they knew they were going to use me, ' Why bother approaching me in the first place?' I wondered, and decided to ask her, but all I got in return, as an answer, was a mock laughter, before she angrily spat out words filled with venoms unto me. " We never expected it to be this fun, did we?" She asked mockingly and I arched my left eyebrow at her, confused. " What do you mean, Jessica?" I asked, calling her by her name and she scoffed, before turning, to look at me, with spite. " It was a bet dummy" She informed me then, and I could feel my world crashing to pieces, for the second time. " W what?" I asked, and found my voice cracky, and gone. " Do you really think, Braden, would settle for a fatso, like you, if not for the bet?" She asked mockingly, and I gasped, refusing at that moment to cry,but my emotions, kept betraying me. I could feel tears at the brink of my eyes, and tried blinking it back
