He was sipping on his coffee in a bathrobe when I entered the room as I was commanded to by the butler who answered the door as I knocked. At first glance, he seemed like a perfectly handsome young man in his early 20s, who had inherited an enormous amount of wealth from an uncle and hence could waste it on infantile fantasies like this. I was recruited to me a 'maid' in a household where my only purpose of living was to "please my master". I had no idea as to the exact extent of the job but had by now incurred a fair idea of what it might entail (though I was later proven utterly wrong.) Why I took the job, is because it was the highest paying job that I could find with my qualifications, which were practically non-existent.
I came to know that his name was Jack. Jack Stevens—grandnephew to a billionaire in New York living in Europe; from his butler who showed me the way to the breakfast room in this huge mansion and he also politely asked me whether I knew what I was applying for -- to which I foolishly (as I understand now) had replied "Somewhat." We did not have any further conversation for the next couple of weeks.
Jack Stevens was a wavy haired, blue eyed, sharp nosed, well built, cleanshaven and confident man who was peering at me with a keen look in his eyes that had just been lifted from deep introspection over the coffee mug that presently stood quietly on the coffee table in front of him. Slowly, as I (Kimberley) stationed myself at the opposite end of the coffee table at some distance, his lips parted and some fraction of a chuckle was heard resonating across the room. Then, as I was about to state my testimonials, he raised his hand and waived at me—a gesture for me to turn around. I turned. Then he gestured me to stand sideways and look straight. I felt that I was being devoured by those sharp eyes and honestly, it was a slight turn on for me. Probably he noticed it and said in a clear, calm, and deep voice, "You're hired."
As I was going to thank him, he raised his hand—this time, not to stop or signal me, but to signal the butler to take me away.
The butler Jason took me to my room and handed me an enveloped note asking me to read it carefully and to be in the same room where I met Mr. Stevens in an hour's time. Saying this, he left me in what I thought to be a room fit to accommodate a king. It had a king-sized bed, a dressing table with a huge mirror attached to it, a wardrobe, an attached bathroom and a big window with translucent glass -- not to mention the couch and the tea table next to the bed.
My nightmare began as I sat down and started to read the note which contained detailed instructions for me. It was only then that the exact nature of the job started to be clear to me. The note said:
Dear Ms. Kimberley,
We hereby express our pleasure to have you as our maid and look forward to enjoying you in the days to come. For now, you are a novice and are unaware of the rules, customs and traditions of the Stevens family as well the duties, responsibilities and protocols for maids in Stevens Mansion. You must consider your duties whilst in Stevens Mansion under your master Jack Stevens a period of preliminary training before you are ready to serve the Stevens family in their ancestral manor in West London.
Whilst your service here, you must remember that Mr. Jack Stevens is your "Master" and you're his personal maid—a position akin to slaves in the Middle Ages. Your duties in the house do not include (without specific instruction from your Master) daily household chores like washing or cleaning. But your sole purpose in service is to please your master in every manner possible. These are not restricted to sexual favours which will be demanded of you, but also extend to your complete subservience to your Master and his whims. The finer details of the job will be detailed in the contract that you have already agreed to (kept in your room) and will be elaborated by the butler and your Master when called upon. For the moment, you are to remember the following:
1. You are hereby stripped of all rights to privacy, rights to free speech, rights to self-protection and the right to do or say as you please. Your existence, actions and words are hereafter completely dependent on your Master.
2. You are hereby named Lisa in order to remind you of your subservience.
3. You can be humiliated, hurt, tortured and punished (when required) at the will of the master.
