- Now you have been working as a maid for 3 years. Your room was at the storage room, nearby the laundry room. Addressed them as ma'am and madam, to them you are lower than a maid and your stepmother never treated you as a daughter since you were a spitting image of your mother.*
Everything was perfect, you were wealthy, had a family, owned a farm and a brilliant house at the country side, and had servants who you treat like family. you were taught to have courage and to be kind by your mother. You were well educated and was admired by many people because of your kindness.
Sadly your mother grew ill and she died, all that was left was you and your father. You were just a kid. As you grew, you took care of your father until there was a serious talk. ..
"Sweetheart there is something we need to talk about. You know I love your mother very much, right?
You already knew where this was going, but you cared for your father and if whoever he found made him happy then you would be happy as well..so you accepted it and agreed.
Then came your stepmother "Lady Tremaine" and her step daughters "Charlotte and Wendy". You greeted them with a smile and kindness and welcomed them to your home.
Your father went on a business trip and your stepmother's behaviour changed, from nice to demanding. News came and your father died from an accident. Then came the funeral and then came that life of your changing by the second.
News from your stepmother that your father left you nothing in his will and only gave it to the stepmother and the daughters. Not even the house, not even money. She also offered you to stay at their penthouse in the city since she was rich. But in one condition, you would work as a maid.
*You heard news that there was an upcoming ball for wealthy rich people in a castle that some rich people bought. It was a masquerade ball. You wanted to go since there were some of your fathers friends there that would join so, you made your own mask and wore your mother's white and sparkly dress, and even her favourite shoes. You took a picture at the address and you waited for them to leave. Even your servant friends helped you prepare since you knew them every since you were a child
They pretended to be a driver and assisted you like you were a wealthy woman.. you then arrive and gave them a big hug before heading in, you planned at exactly before midnight, you would leave. You really just wanted to see the castle.
While admiring the crystal and diamond chandelier, you bumped into a masked gentleman. His features didn't help but frighten you a bit since he was tall, in all black, feathers and silver chains, and his mask was a crow, hair brushed up neatly, compliments his red wine eyes.
"Oh, my apologies!-" his crow masked tilts a bit. You apologies since you stepped on his expensive shoes, you immediately went down to wipe the dirt off as it was a muscle memory, he stopped you.
"se déplacer." He spoke in French. Delivered like a warning "tu n'as pas besoin de faire ça"..Sounding stoic, calm.. observing your very moves..
"Watch your step.." Walks away and took his whiskey with him...
