Maid to the Lucianos

Lilly POV

“Miss Lilly, you need to hurry up ,the head is waiting already!” a familiar voice, Madam Lovett, echoed right outside my door.

“I'm coming, I'm coming, I just need to pack the few last things then get my hair and I will be right out okay,” I responded as I hurriedly packed everything else in my bed right into my bag.

“Just be quick with it okay, you know we can't keep him waiting for so long, it's night time remember.”

“Yes, ma'am, just a few minutes and I really will be done as promised.”

Ahhh I can't believe I still couldn't pack everything during the day, I know I was excited to leave and had to get many things done but still this is so unlike me

I have been a maid for this prestigious Luciano household for 10 years now, I Lilly Paige after the sudden bankruptcy and death of my parents, I somehow ended up being taken by the Luciano's.

They took care of me for 5 years until my high-school education was done, and then I became a maid in their household to repay them.

But I do have to say my 10 years of being a maid here was seriously crazy seeing on my first day in the job as the head food taster I got poisoned.

Not poisoned technically, just had a serious allergic reaction to the peanut butter in his food, and ended up in the hospital for 3 months.

I definitely felt traumatized after that, but more crazy stuff kept happening in this household than I could imagine, but I survived all that with my tail between my two legs.

And then I became the head personal maid and what he likes to call his favourite friend too.

Well, seeing he is finally letting me achieve my dream of being a novelist in a massive institution in Brazil and start a new life, I can certainly say I am his favourite.

“Lilly!!!”

I hurriedly packed my hair right up in a bun and rushed right out,“ I'm out now, okay.”

“Well then let go see the head now, he's been waiting,” she said as we both then left and walked straight to the main hall silently.

One thing about the Luciano household, you do not ever make noise while walking at night.

Why? I still do not know, even after fifteen years of living here, all I know is that the last maid who did make noise, was dragged right out of the house instantly.

After what felt like an eternity of silent walking, we finally got to the main headroom.

She stopped right at the door and then slowly opened it, “Well we are here now, you can go right in Lilly.”

“Good evening, head,” I said with my head bent right down as I walked right in and the doors shut.

He let out a laugh and then walked right up to me, “Now stop with the formal greetings, Lilly, and give me a hug.”

I hugged him as he requested but after a while he still didn't seem to want to let go,“ John could you let go of me now, I'm choking.”

Yes, I called the head of the great Luciano household and enterprise John, for some reason, since I became his personal maid and what he calls a friend, he made me swear to always call him by his first name John.

“Okay sorry about that, I just would really miss you okay, do you really need to go, huh?”

“ Yes John I do, and you already said yes, so I am leaving.”

A sudden frown came up his face as he sat right down on a chair, “Well you seem delighted to leave so quickly huh.”

“You know I certainly do not want to leave you, but I do really want to become a writer and I might just write a story about the Great John Luciano now,” I teased.

He then pointed towards his desk at an envelope for me to pick up,“ yeah, yeah I already got one of those novels, so now go and live your life as a writer well okay.”

I walked right to his desk, opened the envelope to see a large amount of cash in it, I mean I have saved for years now for this day, but it definitely doesn't amount to half of what is being given to me right now.

I stared right at him as the feeling of gratitude rushed over me.

“And just don't think of thanking me okay, just make sure you achieve that big dream of yours of becoming a writer and also remember to come once in a while and come play a game with me okay, now goodbye.”

You know I have always hated playing games with him, since I have never won one against him, I literally have 99 loses against him.

But yeah, I certainly would come again some day to play once more, I for one I'm absolutely going to miss playing with him.

“Sure thing, John, I will become a great writer and then come beat you finally in a game,” I responded with a massive smile on my face as I leaned in to hug him once more.

He suddenly chuckled as he slowly tapped my back, “yeah, we both know you are never beating me in a game, Lilly, but a young girl like you sure can dream.”

“ I will definitely surprise you then, just remember the next time we meet I definitely will be the winner of our game.”

I released myself from the hug and walked right back to the door as I made my final bow,“Well then, goodbye, Master john.”

I entered the taxi that would take me right to my hotel for that night.

And there I left Luciano's household that night, a place I had called home for fifteen years.

***********

“Miss, your taxi cab is all ready for you downstairs now,” the attendant of the hotel called out.

“Okay, thanks, I will be right down there.”

I booked a ride down already to the airport as I was to fly to Brazil in the next 3 hours and the last thing I needed was a delay.

I got myself dressed up, had a quick breakfast and then made my way down to the taxi cab.

The drive took an hour though as traffic held us, and I just daydreamed of everything new as my heartbeat raced with excitement of my soon-to-be new experience.

New people, food, friends, environment and most of all, a new start to life and who knows, I might even get that cool hot Brazilian boyfriend I had always wanted there.

I mean I am a gorgeous lady if I do say so myself, so getting a hot man would definitely be easy for me there.

My head imagining everything that soon to happen as I then finally got to the airport.

I got my luggages down and then walked right in, got my passport and flight ticket ready, and then got into the line.

“Number 38 walk forward please,” the attendant called out as the person walked right up.

I immediately got up seeing I am number 39 and will soon be called, I really can't believe this, finally my new start.

I stood there, my eyes fixed on the attendant, my whole body jolted with excitement as she pulled up the mic just about to call the next number.

“Everybody Freeze— Freeze right now!”

I instantly turned to look around in shock at the sight of cops running around the airport.

Okay, just the hell is happening right now?

And before I knew what exactly was going on, I was suddenly handcuffed right up.

Wait, what exactly is going on? Why am I being cuffed up?

A strange cop suddenly pulled my hands, “Miss Lilly Paige, you are here by arrested for the murder of the late head of the Luciano enterprise, Mr Luciano John, do remain silent as anything you say right now can and will be used against you in court,”

WAIT! I DID WHAT?
