Irresistible Invitations

Juliette Pov

“Ma’am? Ma’am?” I heard someone and I jolted up from my bed alarmed.

Running the sleepiness out of my eyes I looked here and there to find the person. I saw the same maid from before standing near my bedpost holding a tray looking at me without any expression.

She must be in her late fifties and it is really astonishing that a lady like her not to show any emotions.

“I am sorry to wake you but you need to eat your food” she placed the tray before me and bowed before leaving.

My stomach rumbled seeing the food. Opening the lid of the dish I was hit by a strong aroma of coffee and scrambled eggs. Without wasting any more minute I took the fork and started to eat like a maniac. Savouring each bite and sip.

When I was done I kept the tray down on the floor and unwrapped the towel which was still wrapped around my hair. My hair was still damp. I went to the wardrobe and took out a comb which I saw earlier to comb my hair. After struggling to detangle all the tangles I combed my hair to the side and tied it using a rubber band.

“What should I do now?” I asked to myself as I began to pace around the room.

I looked at the clock on the wall to see it’s already evening. I was beginning to feel suffocated. Who locks someone inside a room with no window?

I decided to one thing which I am used to since I have been brought here.

Bang on the door till someone lets me out.

“Let me out!” I banged on the door shouting like a maniac.

“Open the door! Anybody there? Let me out!”

“Hey! Is anyone listening to me? Let me out please” I shouted on the top of my voice.

I banged continuously intentionally. If anyone was out there then she or he would definitely get irritated by this and would definitely let me out.

“Open the d-” I was cut off when I found the door knob turning so I took a step back for the person to open the door.
