His Personal Maid ✔

Chapter 19- MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

Ella closed Lara's room door after her twin sister had entered and they were gathered on and around Lara's bed. Only Brie's clique; Brie, Lara, Katy, the twins and Dana.

The twins joined Katy who was on the tiled floor, looking up at the other three who were on Lara's bed.

It had been a long night for all of them. Mrs. Benson's return and the impromptu interrogation that could have ended their jobs and their lives.

"Lara," Dana held Lara to her and rubbed her arms, "Ssshhh. It's okay, it's over. Don't cry, baby girl."

Lara was crying profusely in Dana's brown T-shirt that had the inscription 'FML'.

She couldn't stop. The tears had a mind of their own. She felt regretful, horrible, monstrous and stupid.

"You lied to me," She sobbed, "You made me go and rain all kinds of insults on him."

"No," Katy frowned, "No one told you to confront him. Why the hell did you?"

"Because I was angry!" She raised her tear-stained face to look at Katy, "I was mad he wanted to do the same thing to me."

"Tess is gone now..." Emma said unexpectedly. She hardly talked when the girls were together, unless asked a question.

"She deserved it." Her twin sister bit back and turned to Lara, "Brie saved you. The least you can do is say thank you. She saved your guilty ass. That should have been you, not Tess."

"That's enough." Dana threw Ella an annoyed look while she caressed Lara's arm, "Tess lied to all of us. We honestly didn't know everything she was saying were lies-"

"I called him a cougar-minded rapist," Lara cut in, "A cunning imbecile... A monster!"

"Why the hell, Lara??" Katy asked, "That's total disrespect and really mean."

Lara bit back, "Better than saying it behind his back like you all did."

Emma looked down at her hands and Ella looked away.

Lara continued, "I made fun of his traumatizing experience. He tried to tell me the truth. He tried so hard, I just didn't listen. He was so emotional. I chose your story over his."

"Don't frigging blame us for what you did." Ella snorted but Lara was oblivious,

"He had likened himself to Meena, the maid who committed suicide. I called him Prince Jayden and frigging mocked him! I slapped him!"

"WHAT?!" Ella, Emma, Katy and even Dana yelled in unison.

"Yes," Lara sobbed, "He was just calm. He didn't even lay a finger on me."

Emma's eyes were watery, "We have to apologize to him. All of us," She said, despite the fact that she hadn't contributed to the gossip. She was just present.

In fact, Emma never contributed to any of their gossip, unless it was about food.

They usually talked about Jayden and Uncle Sam and hot guys, all of which Emma found no interest in. And she wasn't about to let them know where her interests lied, especially her 'evil' twin sister.

Katy sighed and turned to Brie who was sitting beside Lara and was awfully quiet. She had not uttered a single word since the interrogation.

"Brie, what's wrong?"

It appeared as if her mind wasn't in the room. She was just staring at nothing exactly.

The twins and Dana turned to her, wondering what was wrong with her as well.
