Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 13

August.

I woke up with a stinging sensation in my hands and from a bad headache. I started to massage my head hoping the pain would go away soon and it did help a bit. I hastily stood up from the bed and wore my dress and cleaned myself. Again, a new day began and I was hoping I didn’t have to face him again. Thinking about him gave me chills in a wrong way. Especially for what happened yesterday. I was scared he might try that again...

I didn’t realize I was crying until I felt tears running down from my eyes. I rubbed my eyes and went outside. I could leave this job, I had to do this. I just needed to stay away from him and that’s all. He was maniac.

Entering the kitchen I greeted the other maids and Martha and Vanessa who were waiting for me. I and her were quite close and she was the nicest girl here at least she never bullied me like others.

“Good morning August.” Said Vanessa with a big smile on her face. I greeted her back with a little smile. I started to do my chore which was making breakfast for the Knights for now.

Once we were all done making breakfast for them, Martha told me to serve the food. I hesitated a bit but then said yes because that was what I was there for...

I picked up the tray of sandwiches and juices for everyone in the table and walked towards them. When I entered, I saw Mr. & Mrs. Knight discussing something, maybe about business and Miss Hazel and her brother Nathan were gossiping and lastly my eyes fell on him. He was doing something in his phone, really focused. I thought this was my only chance to avoid him.

I placed the tray quietly and carefully so that I can leave before I catch his attention. I put the plates of sandwiches and juices on the table and turned around to leave.

“Where are you going maid?” I heard Miss Hazel spoke. I gulped and turned around, looking down.

“Yes, Miss Hazel?” I asked.

“Ma’am, you will call me Ma’am. I don’t want to hear u calling me by my name.” She glared at me. I just nodded my head in response.

“Anyways, I need you to iron my dress, which is upstairs in my room in the bed, iron them carefully I need to go somewhere and if I find you messing around with my dress or room, this will be the last day of your in this house.” She stated. I bit my lip in nervousness and nodded my head.

I left the dining room and sighed. At least I didn’t have to face him. I started to go upstairs; I could feel someone’s strong gaze behind me...

That made me feel so uncomfortable, I wanted to turn around but I couldn’t get the courage. Somehow it made me feel so scared. I fisted my hands, digging my own nails in my palm and turned around only to find him staring at me. I gasped when I saw his eyes. His expression was blank and he wasn’t even removing his eyes from me even when I caught him staring at me. His fists were clenched and his monstrous eyes were intensely staring at me.

I felt sweat dripping from my forehead and my sweaty palm. I couldn’t move...there was something demonic in his gaze that made me stand still. He smirked in victory when he saw my state. It made me angry. How can he be happy because of this state?

I took a deep breath, turned around and left for Miss Hazel’s room. The house was so big it was even a big deal to search for someone’s room, thank goodness Martha told me about them. I opened the door and went inside, locking the door behind me.

Her room was very beautiful and luxurious also the other rooms too but anyone can say that it was a room of a girl.

I sighed and started to clean the area near her small sofa. The room where I used to live before in Caroline’s house was half of this room in size. Well, only rich people like Knights could get a big house like this. I saw her beautiful dress was on the bed. I went forward and picked it up. the dress was actually beautiful. It was a beautiful short grey dress. I carefully ironed the dress and put the dress on her bed. I hope she wouldn’t scold me for anything. I left the room before she could come in there. I checked my list again to see what task I had to do. I started to walk, looking through the list and all of a sudden bumped into something. I stumbled back and fell on my back. I hissed in pain and looked up to see him...
