It was very difficult to describe the Williams residence. It looked somewhere in between a palace and an extremely lavish forest type of resort.

From the high entrance gate, they drove for another 30 minutes, the entire fenced of land basically was already in the Williams territory. From far away you could see the magnificent structure standing tall and majestic

"What is that?" Leila asked in awe, her mouth literally gaping open, she felt as though her eyes were about to pop out

"its my house.." zach replied in a bored voice.

Leila gaped at him, "wow" she said staring

"who all live here..?" Leila asked, this place was humongous

"Just me.." Zach said

"What ! This entire landscape ...and this palace..Just for you...like you live here alone?"

"Yep..Except when my father comes to visit, but that's not often.."

They arrived at the entrance, the black SUV stopped and an elderly gentleman wearing a black suit and white gloves opened the door.

"Welcome home Master Williams.." he said bowing his head a little, Zach jumped off distracted by his phone,

"Hello Clifford.." Zach said, he turned around waiting for Leila to get off.

Leila felt uncomfortable, she was painfully shy..and she could see a line of people standing waiting for her ..

"Well are you coming out on your own, or do you want me to come lift you out?" Zach asked peeking around to see her

"n-n-n-no.." She said softly , and awkwardly came out of the car, she could see the staff lined a little bit to her left all had started murmuring.

"Ah..Miss Leila...nice to finally meet...Master Williams had told us to expect a guest...dare I say we have all been waiting for your arrival.." Clifford said, bowing his head again.

Leila stared at him in shock "y-y-you..have?" she whispered softly

"yes..very much indeed !" Clifford said with genuine enthusiasm.

"Leila this is Clifford...he is my head butler here ..his family has been with my family for 3 generations.." Zach said smiling at him. Leila turned to look at Zach, for the first time, since she met him, she could see genuine contentment on Zach's face. Not the cockiness, not the arrogance, not the sadistic pleasure he got from torturing and bullying people..but genuine happiness

"it's a pleasure to meet you Clifford.." Leila said awkwardly

"The pleasure is all mine..." Clifford said beaming at Leila, "May I take away your guest momentarily Master Williams? I would like to introduce her to her staff..and of course show Ms Leila her residence.."

Zach turned to stare at Leila, "Take her for now Clifford, but don't keep her for too long..I've worked hard for her.." he said

"I wouldn't dare dream of it Master Williams" Clifford said briskly "Dare I say Master Zach..You're guest...is really a very pretty lady.." Clifford said smiling at Leila

"Thank you" Leila said shyly,

"If you please, come with me, Miss Leila.." Clifford said directing Leila to the staff who were waiting on the left hand side standing in a line

"this is Loide...she will be your head secretary.." Clifford said pointing at a young lady, who couldn't have been much older than 19, Loide stepped forward and did a small bow "Pleased to meet you Miss Leila.." she said, Leila stared at her awkwardly "err...nice to meet you too ma'am.." she said. Clifford stared at her in shock, as if she did something wrong, Leila looked up at him worried, did she address her wrongly

"Miss Leila..we are here to be of service to you..so please feel free...to er...address us freely.." He said. Leila stared back at him in apprehension "y-y-yes sir" she said, looking down.

"come through..Loide and I will show you to your quarters .." Clifford said.

It was difficult for Leila to put into words the level of lavishness in this beautiful structure of the Williams Household (if you could even call it that), it had extremely high ceilings with exquisite paintings, and mosaics, there were intricate designs on every surface of the building. There was greenery everywhere she looked, with magnificent palm and rose trees spurting majestically. Either it was bought to the area (which is what she suspected) or the palace was naturally built on this spectacular rainforest type of habitat.

"This is so stunning.." Leila whispered, staring in awe at the high ceiling

"Yes ..The Williams Mansion..is one of a kind..." Clifford said, staring curiously at Leila "....shall we continue Miss Leila..? Dare I say we may be a tad bit late for dinner with Master Williams if we do not hasten our pace?" Clifford said politely

*******************************************************************************

Leila was gobsmacked with her new accommodation, she would probably have to stay up all night to make sure she wasn't dreaming, but however she was promptly reminded by her new 'secretary' miss Loide that indeed she needed to make sure she was 'ready' for dinner. Leila frowned, she was still in her school uniform...and as Zach never allowed her to take her suitcase with her, she had literally nothing to change into. She stared down on herself, everything about her was in stark contrast to this place, there came a polite knock on her door just as she was about to get lost in her thoughts

"Is everything alright ma'am ?" Ms Loide asked

"er..everything is fine...I think.." Leila said unsure

"May I come in Ma'am?" Ms Loide asked , Leila got up from her larger than life bed, and went to open the door.

Loide beamed at her, with Clifford standing behind her, "I see you haven't changed young Miss Leila.." Clifford said politely

"er..about that...i have a sliigghht problem.." Leila said, not sure if she was talking to the right people

"Oh do tell...anything we can do to assist?" he asked

"Um...the thing is...to tell you the truth...Zach ...I me-me-mean Master Wiliams..he didn't actually give me a chance to pa-pa-pack...so ..........actually....I don't really have an-any-anything to change into.." Leila said awkwardly staring at the floor.

"Oh..." Cliffords eyes went up in small surprise, "oh...I see...just give me one minute Miss Leila.." He said, holding up one finger, while taking out a phone from his pocket

"Hi Ally, Its Clifford here, I have a slight emergency, do you remember we discussed about the...guest that will be residing at the Williams Residence? Er yes...the thing is dinner is scheduled for 8 o'clock sharp this evening with Master Williams, we need to get our guest ready, ...would it be possible for you to send us a collection of items for her to choose from?" Clifford asked, he's face frowning as he was nodding his head "Er..let me have a look quickly.." he said, while he turned to stare at Leila looking at her up and down "I think a size 6 or size 8 should suffice.." he said, turning his back again onto Leila "alright thank you..we will be waiting for your arrival then..yes we are situated on the east wing...Thank you Ally"

******************************************************************************

It took all but 25 minutes for Clifford and Loide and the collection of clothes that their stylist bought along to get Leila ready. She was nervous, for one, she had never seen so many clothes in all of her life, and for another, they were very very trendy ..something she was not as comfortable wearing.

She stared in horror at some of the pieces, she had literally no idea what went where, and how someone would even get into some of the outfits, she remembered Clifford assuring here, that they were all of the 'latest designers', he had greatly misinterpreted her shock over the clothes.

She chose the most conservative item she could find...and it wasn't conservative at all. It fit on her body like a glove, Clifford really knew what he was doing when it came to making size judgement.

She didn't spare a glance in the mirror she was already self conscious enough. However when she walked out of the larger than life bathroom, after having changed ..Clifford, Loide and Ally's reaction was far exceeding her expectations.

"You...you ...look really breath taking my lady.." Clifford said, staring at Leila once again beaming at his creation up and down. Leila felt massively uncomfortable, she really wished there were just some jeans and t-shirts lying around in their 'collection', she looked to the floor, blushing "thank you" she said shyly

"If you will please, Miss Loide will escort you to the dinning hall.." Clifford said with a small bow of his head.

Leila walked nervously with Miss Loide, lost in concentration as she had never really had a lot of exposure to heels, hoping she would make it to the dinning hall without tripping and falling flat on her face. Miss Loide kept glancing at her and smilling, and Leila started to notice that as she was walking and crossing the other staff at the Williams mansion, they too were glancing at her in awe.

Finally after what seemed like much walking, they arrived at big entrance doors, "Master Williams is already waiting for you Miss Leila" Loide said with a small bow of her head

"er.. thanks.." Leila said, staring nervously at the entrance door. Taking a big sigh to calm her nerves, she pushed through.

To say it was lavish was an understatement; there were tables upon tables all fully laid out. There was a piano, and piano player in one corner of the hall, and somewhere in the middle, was Zach Williams, sitting and staring at Leila as she walked in.

She looked at him, and it seemed like he was frozen, his eyes dead set on her, it almost looked as though he had taken a big gasp. His expression was hard to read, his eyes looked in awe at Leila. When she arrived at the table, he got up and quickly took out the chair for Leila

"er..thanks.." she said awkwardly before sitting down

"I'm captivated.." zach said quietly, still not taking his eyes off of her

"by what?" Leila asked cautiously

"you're beauty.." he whispered. Leila blushed again. Zach Williams with his bluntness again. "Oh..thanks..this all was really Clifton's doing.." she said clumsily, zach's face broke into a graceful smile "Well...it suits you very well..." he finished intensely.

"er...so all this...just for dinner for two?" Leila asked trying to change the subject

"it sure is.." zach finished, he turned to look at someone who was waiting by one of the doors, the server came with menu's

"there's a menu at your house?" Leila asked looking flabbergasted , Zach rolled his eyes at her

"well you can't expect us not to have options.." he said, perusing through it...he dropped the menu uninterested, without taking his eyes off of her "ill have whatever she's having.." he finished

"Certainly Master Williams.." the server said, bowing down their head

"er..can I go with the roasted chicken please.." Leila said, trying to read some of the items on the list which she couldn't even pronounce, she decided chicken is always a safe bet.

"Certainly Miss Leila.." the server said once again bowing down his head as he took the menu's off from the table

"now that you are finally here..I wanted to discuss the rules with you here .." Zach said seriously

Leila turned at him, in shock, "so now there are rules?" she said, her voice showing a small hint of accusation

"just the one.."

Leila folded her arms in irritation "okay...let's hear it then"

"Every Thursday night, after 7pm you are not to leave your room.." Zach said. Leila stared at him in surprise "so I have curfew now?"

"Just for Thursdays"

"and I don't suppose you're going to tell me why.." she said

"let's just say it's for your own safety"

"safety...? Safety from whom...or what..?" Leila asked cautiously, Zach's face broke into a handsome smile "I'd have to kill you if I told you.." he said, and was often the case when it came of Zach Williams, Leila wasn't quite sure if he was joking or not.

"anything else?" she asked coldly, expecting a barrage of other ridiculous demands "nope..that was more or less it" zach said happily taking a sip of his wine.

"Well...now that we're on the topic of rules..." Leila started "I have some for you as well .." zach stared at her in curiosity "oh really? Rules for me..... Do tell.." he chuckled

"firstly if you want me to stay here a second longer, you are going to have to promise to never hurt Justin ever again...I mean it .." she said trying her best to sound threatening, but it was a feeble attempt

"and if I don't..?"

"then im going to leave right this instance.."

"and what if I don't let you go.." he whispered dangerously low, Leila sighed , there he was again .. "so you're going to kidnap me?" she said,

"and what if I am..?"

"is everything always a joke to you Zach?" she asked dryly

"who said I'm joking.." he asked back surprised

She sighed again, "okay look...do we have a deal or no deal?"

Zach paused...smiling at her his naughty boyish smile... " I love making deals with beautiful women..so from my side....we have a deal.." he said enthusiastically.

"great.."

"anything else..since you said 'firstly'" he asked enthusiastically

"Secondly... I need you to stop being a jerk..to the people at school...specifically the beg-the charity kids...." she said, her eyes looking down, she knew this was a big ask, being a jerk was practically in his DNA.

"and why would I do that?" he asked

"does anyone ever really need a reason just to be nice to people?" Leila asked surprised. Zach laughed darkly at her "Nice...and Zach Williams..have never gone together in the same sentence.............in fact..." he said, turning his head curiously to the side "if I were to think about it..this probably the first time the two have ever been put in a sentence together !" he finished, Leila rolled her eyes, "can you at least try?"

" I will think about it..but what do I get in return..?"

"you already have me here.."

"exactly..you are already here so it doesn't count"

She stared at him dumbfounded, is this how all rich people behave, something for something?

"okay..so what do you want?" Leila asked irritated

"one day ...when I will ask something of you ....I want you to remember this day..this ... agreement we have just made.....and you will give it to me...without me giving you a reason why I ask it of you.." Zach said ..his dark eyes fixated on Leila, trying to study her reaction. Leila stared at him, she knew she should expect something like this. Nothing ever comes for free with the rich kids. Nope. She sighed heavily

"okay..fine..whatever.." she said finishing off. Their waitress had just come back with their order.

**********************************************************************************************

Given the type of company she was in , Leila had to admit dinner went exceptionally well. It's been a long time, since she was able to eat like a human...eat real food, eat till her belly was full. Eat in a plate on a table, and not on the floor. She tried to block out the memories of Aunt Margot's place.

Sighing to herself, she lay on her massive bed, rolling around. When suddenly she froze. Oh no no no no no no no no crap ! she stared in aghast . How did she miss the dates ! Leila stared at the bed, where there was a big shiny red mark ..just where she had been sitting.

Periods and no pads. This was not good.

She got up staring at the mark with shame..what was she going to do. Did she really have an option? She grimaced thinking about speaking to Zach Williams about her periods ...urgh....if the words "nice and Zach Williams" never went together the words "Periods and Zach Williams" were universes apart.

***********************************************************************************************

Zach knew it was wrong of him, but still the temptation was there. He was elated to have her in his house. And seeing her once was somehow just not satisfactory.

Should he ...or shouldn't he? Well he was never one who really thought about the repercussions, he took out his phone and clicked on the safety app. On his phone screen there were several small windows popping up, he scrolled through them till he saw the one he wanted.

He pressed it. Leila's room CCTV popped up. He frowned , that's odd..Leila was just standing there staring at her bed. Did she not like the bed? Her duvet was rumpled up, so he couldn't get a clear view of what she was staring at.

She then paced up and down her room again, as though she was deciding something. She picked up her phone, scrolled through it..and then threw it back on the bed as though her phone frightened her. She paced around some more in her room, and then walked back to her phone.

Again she scrolled through it, Zach tried to zoom in, of course he had the latest HD camera's and so he was able to zoom in on her phone, there his name was, and she was staring at the name as though it had offended her. Next thing, she started typing pausing in between, and placing her hands on her face. Zach stared in awe..this was really bizarre behavior. His phone vibrated. He looked at the screen

Message from beautiful

"hey where are you....need to ask you something.."

Zach stared at the message smiling.
