Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 18

It was just another busy day for Lucifer at the office. He was wearing his glasses and was checking the files of one of his clients. He was sick and tired of the stupidity of his staff. He growled in frustration and called for his manager.

"Yes sir? You need something?" The man asked.

"What the hell is this Ricardo? Why there are so many fucking errors in these files? Who the fuck prepared these files?" Ricardo had been working for Lucifer for a very long time but that never stopped him from getting mad at every person.

"I'm sorry sir, I will just find out who was in charge of these files and let you know," Ricardo said and left his office with the files in his hand.

Lucifer was slowly losing his forbearance. The burden of the company and the mind filled with the thoughts of that girl only...

He was already going insane. He wanted to see her more....feel her exquisite unblemished body...

Unblemished.

Is her body unblemished? This question was running in his head. He knew her past life. He knew her parents were abusive and he wanted nothing but to rip their hands out of their body. But he had to control...it was not the right time to do anything.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He opened them and tried to calm himself.

I should ask her about it. She can tell me accurately than anyone else.

He thought this was the perfect thing to do at that time. But he perceived the fact that she was scared of him. There was no way on earth she would have let out everything that easily.

If she doesn't tell me I'll make sure that she does...

He smirked at his thought. Lucifer decided when he would be home he would ask August about everything that happened in her past life.

But why am I so desperate for that? I don't even need to know anything, I just need her body...

Incertitude occurred in him again. He wanted to make everything clear but it seemed impossible to him. But he was sure that he would get her...by hook or by crook.

He stood up from his chair and left the house and was on the way to his home. His work was done in the for that day, he decided to finish the other things at him while...he would watch her in relish...

After 30 minutes he arrived at the mansion and got inside.

"Hey, son! How was your day at the office?" He was not even concentrating on anyone, his eyes were just searching for that girl.

He looked around and frowned. There was no sign of her in the house.

"Lucifer? What's wrong? What are you looking for?" That caught his attention and he looked to his mother.

"Nothing mom. Tell me do you need something?"

"No honey I'm good I was just asking how was your day?"

"It was good." He replied and took a seat on a sofa that had a clear view of the kitchen. He saw many maids working there except her. He was getting annoyed by then.

"Son, shall I tell Martha to bring you some food?

Martha!"

Martha instantly came running to them. "Yes ma'am?"

"Please serve Lucifer his usual lunch." Martha bowed and ran back to the kitchen.

He fisted his hand and gritted his teeth in frustration...

Why the fuck isn't she here! Where the heck she could be!

His forbearance was already running slow...

A few minutes later Martha approached them and placed his food on the table. She turned around to depart when Lucifer stopped her.

"Yes, master?" She asked looking down.

"Where are all the maids?" He asked in his usual blunt tone.

"They are all here sir." She replied quietly.

"Are they? I don't fucking think everyone is present here." He said and clenched his teeth.

Martha gulped and looked at Mrs. Knight who was talking to a phone and was unable to hear them.

"Sir everyone is present trust me just that..."

"Just what?" He questioned her before she could complete her sentence.

"Just that new girl August, she isn't here." That shook Lucifer to death.

What the fuck!

"And where the heck is she?" His tone sounded more dangerous than before just like he was looking scarier than before as he stood up and stand in front of her. His enormous body was even covering the light reaching Martha's face.

She gulped and answered, "Sir, she wanted to visit her aunt. So, I-I let her go..." Her sentence was interrupted by her strident scream. Within few moments everyone and even Mrs. Knight rushed there.

They all noticed a flower vase was on the floor, shattered into pieces, along with it, the table laid helplessly on the floor...broken into pieces just like the decorated glass on it. Everything was a mess.

"Oh my god, Lucifer! What are you doing?" His mother asked him. He ignored her that time.

His breathing was heavy. His nostrils were fuming in wrath. He asked her in a dangerously low voice.

"Who gave you the permission to let someone out of this house?" Martha stared with wide eyes. She couldn't answer him. Even Mrs. Knight was beyond shocked. She and the other maids had never seen him in so much anger over a small thing like this. Before that, he never cared if any maid or other workers were out of the house. But that day, his behavior shocked everyone to the core.

Martha was already quivering. "S-sir, the g-girl is new so I-I thought I should let her see her aunt once." She answered in a low voice.

He straightened his posture and put his hands inside of his pockets and looked straight at her eyes. His eyes were peering through her.

"Martha, you are in no position of giving permission or making any decision. So I am telling you this for the last time. If anything like this happens again....you will be fired." He didn't even let her say another word and left for his bedroom.

He was beyond furious...he couldn't bear the fact that she was not there in front of his eyes. He didn't even know for how long she would be there at her aunt's. He wouldn't want her away from him for even a second.

August.

I laughed at Caroline's extremely peculiar jokes. She was still so bad at telling jokes. But that never stopped me from laughing. I was always happy whenever I was with her.

"Sweetie, you still didn't tell me about your job. I mean how are the people there? The other maids, other workers?" Her questions never stopped. I chuckled a little.

"It's really good there. Their house is beautiful and Martha is a nice guide she never got mad at me instead she always supported me." I replied with a smile.

The bus started and I got myself ready to face my daily life again.

30 minutes passed like that and I knew the mansion wasn't so far from the area now. Suddenly I felt something vibrating inside my back. I opened it and saw that the phone was ringing and the caller was Ethan. I received the call and heard him.

"Hey, August."

"Uh...hey sir," I replied.

"No sir, please. And did you leave already?" I frowned at his question. Why did he want to know that?

"Yes, sir I told you."

I heard him sigh. "I could have come to receive you August."

"No no, it's totally fine I am almost close to the mansion."

"Okay, August. Then I'll see you when you arrive."

"Yes sir, see you soon."

"Bye August." We both hung up and I instantly put the phone inside. I was afraid that I would lose or someone might steal it from me.

Another 30 minutes passed and the bus finally came to a stop. I walked out of the bus. And started to walk. I still had few blocks to pass. It took me good 10 minutes to reach the mansion. When I reached, the guards opened the door as they already knew I work there. I went inside and started to look for Martha.

But no one was around. That was odd. I saw a maid named Marie sweeping the floor.

"H-have you seen, Martha?" I asked her. She looked at me and her eyes went wide. I didn't know why she reacted like this.

"You...you are here finally."

"W-why? Wh-what do you mean?"

"You don't know what you did you little dumb slut?" Hannah came and remarked. I gulped.

"Wh-what's wrong? I-I don't know anything." I replied with a shaky voice.

"Because of you, Martha got scolded by master Lucifer." Another girl said and glared at me. The mention of him made me quiver in fear.

"Enough girls! Go back to your work." I heard Martha saying that. The girls departed and only me and Martha were left.

She came to me and gave me a small smile. "How was your time with Caroline, sweetie?" Her question shocked me. Was she trying to change the topic?

"Martha...please tell me w-what's going on?" I pleaded.

She sighed. "Honey...I don't understand...whatever happened was quite unexpected. Master Lucifer was furious that you went out of the house without his permission." I stared at her with a horrific look.

"B-but why?" I asked.

"I don't know hun. But don't worry about it now. You came from a long journey. Just go to your room and rest for some time, after that, I'll tell you your task." She said and left, I was still confused and scared.

Oh god! What that man wants from me!
