"How is she?" Somewhere in the darkness, I hear a very worried and anxious voice ask.

"She'll be okay. Her ribs are bruised up, and mild concussion. The bruising and swelling should go down soon and other than that she should be fine and should wake up soon." With that, I open my eyes. Their meet with bright lights they hurt my eyes so I shut them quickly. I feel someone move beside me.

"Hey, Lisa." Mr. Knights says I'm surprised he even knows my first name. I open my eyes and see him very close to my face. His arms rest on either side of me brings him so close. He looks stressed. His face looks so tired almost has he has had no sleep. Yet, he still looks as beautiful as always. His tie has been removed and the top of his buttons undone. He had dark circles under his eyes.

"Where am I?" I ask immediately after I noticed I'm not either at the mansion or my home. The room looks very unfamiliar to me.

"The hospital, you were found unconscious in my house. Lisa, I'm sorry you had to go through that." Mr. Knight apologizes. He looks so ashamed and worried. His hair is going in different directions.

What is going on, but like a cold bucket of water, everything comes back. I feel tears coming to my eyes. I then feel a comforting hand on my shoulder squeezing me.

"It's fine. How could we even know that would happen. The great thing is that you're alive. You know they could have kill you. I know they could have taken advantage of you but thank God the police arrived." Mr. Knights says in an attempt to make me feel better.

It doesn't necessary do. "Yeah, I guess but you didn't catch the guys did you?"

He shakes his head and mumbles something I can't quite understand.

"What?" I ask him.

He signs " I have cameras everywhere. So at least we will have a clue to who they are. " I feel my eyes widen at his revelation and I blush, has he heard me sing and try to dance or is that who he knew I cleaned everything? Oh, my has he seen me naked? I pale at the thought. I can't let anyone see my secrets.

"You mean to tell me you know what I'm doing when you're not home?" I ask quietly almost afraid.

He gives me a knowing grin. "Yes." Oh, my. I think I lost all color of my face. Seeing my reaction he says. "But only some rooms have a camera. Privacy." I nod.

Suddenly the door is open and my mom comes rushing in.

"Mom." I try to sit up and hug her but, Mr. Knight reacts quickly and pushes me back against the bed.

"You're still to sore." He explains when I look at him confused.

"Lisa, are you okay I tried to come here as fast as I could." My mom comes saying in a rush. Running to my side she takes my hand and squeezes.

"If you excuse me, I will leave you guys alone. Lisa call me if you need anything." Mr. Knight gets up and leaves.

My mom waits until Mr. Knight left to start talking. "Oh, my sweet child, I was outside when I heard the police officers talking they said that it could have been a robbery, but they shrugged that off because they didn't take anything." My mom tells me.

"Mom they probably didn't have time you know they left quickly when they realized the cops were here. And were you eavesdropping? " I ask her.

"That's not the point. The point is that I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want to go every day to work and scared to death something could happen to you." My mom close to tears tells me. I get up and hug her.

"Mom, he pays me well and we need the money I can't quit besides I doubt senior Mr. Knight would really like if I did." I try to reason with my mom.

"I can talk to him, I will also work more if I need to but I can't let anything happen you again. Your already 21 maybe you should think about going to college.I almost lost you once I won't let it happen again. "My mom now in tears promises.

The door opens to my room and older Mr. Knight walks in.

"Good morning, ladies. "He greets us.

"Morning." My mom and I say in unison.

"I just came by to see how you were feeling, Lisa." Mr. Knight stands beside my bed. It's now or never I think to myself. I take ahold of my mom's hand and squeezed.

All for my mom's happiness.

"Mr. Knight I would like to talk about my work, I have kept you informed of your son's actions since I started working for him. Which quite frankly isn't much. I really don't see why you need me. If it's the damages I caused to you car I think I pay them off a long time ago, therefore, I would like to no longer work for your son. You have been very kind to me but I quit." I inform Mr. Knight, holding my breath waiting for his response. I fidget with the hospitals blanket.

He sighs as if he knew this was coming already. "Lisa I understand, but could you at least wait until next Friday to quit." He asks.

"Why? " I really want to quit and start looking for another job. Yet, again.

"My son just left on an urgent business trip and he won't be back until next Friday. He wanted to come tell you but he had to leave immediately and didn't want to interrupt you and your mother." He explains.

That means that Mr. Knight will be gone for a whole week.

I shake my head at him. "I'm truly sorry, but I will like to quit now. Can you tell Mr. Knight I said thank you and goodbye for me?"

"Very well, it was nice knowing you Lisa and maybe in the future, we will meet again I will tell Aiden. Oh, yes you already pay you part of the deal, however, that's not the reason I hired you in the first place." Mr. Knights says and leaves.

My mom gets up and hugs me. Whispering I love you. I tell I love her too because she is everything I have in this world. And would die if I lost her. Like I know she would be devastated if she lost me like she almost did once. It was something I'm not letting happen again.
