She shook her head, explaining, "Sir specifically instructed me to show you to our previous storage room, and this is it."

My hope evaporated, my eyes widening in disbelief. He intended for me to reside in this dismal space? Was he truly that heartless? How I'm going to live here.

"You've been a brat, living a life of luxury. Now it's time to change that" his words echoed in my mind. He sought to strip away my luxurious lifestyle. Unwanted tears threatened to overwhelm me, but I swallowed them back. I refused to appear weak in his eyes. I won't cry.

Does this signify his intention to make my life a living hell? I won't allow it. I'm not weak, and I'll prove it to him.

With a forced smile, I turned to the woman, who regarded me with an expression of pity I now understood all too well.

"Okay, could you bring me some cleaning supplies?" I requested, my voice trembling slightly.

She stared at me for a moment longer than necessary so I asked "What happened?"

"I thought you might want me to clean the room." She replied.

"Why would I ask that?" I replied, bewildered.

"If it's to be my room from now on, it's my responsibility to clean it," I declared, echoing the values instilled by my mother.

'no matter how rich you're but always be humble and take your own responsibility.'

mumma's words echoed in my mind and a sad smile covered my lips. How much I miss my mumma and everyone in just one day! I can't even call her because she can get Suspicious just by a tremble in my voice that something is wrong. And I don't want to trouble them..

Eventually that women nodded .

"who are you?" I asked her.
"Oh I am meena and I was the servant of this house." she replied and descended the stairs, Before I could ask what does she mean by 'was'. Doesn't she work here anymore?

I sighed and turned to survey the room once more with a heavy heart. It would take considerable effort to transform this space.
