Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 25

She lightly dropped her small handbag beside her bag full of clothes and looked at the bedroom. It wasn’t what she was expecting to see. The room was full of purple and white balloons.

Just how I like...But how....who did this?

She took few more steps towards the wall that was full of balloons. She frowned when she noticed something written on the wall. She pushed the balloons aside to have a better view.

Her jaw dropped when she saw what was written on the wall.

“Happy Birthday kitten.”

Kitten? It's him who did this...of course, it’s him. This is his house who else will do it?

It was not written, it was plastered on the wall with colorful papers that were cut in alphabets. It looked beautiful and mesmerizing. August couldn’t remove her eyes from all the decorations.

Yes, it was true. She always wanted these things for her birthday when she was a kid. Although she never regretted the birthdays that she celebrated with Caroline, she just couldn’t believe her eyes.

She had a closer look at her surroundings. Her eyes fell on the small 3-foot yellow tulips flower pot.

It was decorated with beautiful string lights.

A small smile appeared on her face when she saw more different types of fairy string lights around the room.

The room was not small like her old ones like Martha and others. This one was bigger. Not much but enough bigger for anyone like her. The walls were painted with light yellow and baby blue color.

Her breath hitched.

H-how he knows that I like these colors in a room..?

He knew everything about her...everything. She wasn’t even aware of it. All the things were confusing and scaring her at the same time. She didn’t know how to react. Why would he do something like that for her? Who was she? Just a mere maid.

These thoughts were whirling around her head.

She consoled herself lots of time saying that she was just a maid...just a maid. But, deep down she knew that if she was just a maid then she would never have been in that situation. It scared her a lot.

She let out a deep breath that she was holding in for a long time and sat on the edge of the bed. She didn’t see anyone around the house when she came inside. She wondered where was everyone...

Somehow it’s a good thing at least he isn’t here either. I don’t have to face him tonight.

She sighed again and got up from the bed to pick up her bags. There was an average-sized closet beside the bed. She didn’t have much stuff so that closet was big enough for everything she brought. She put all her clothes inside the closet along with her bag. August thought to text Venessa, letting her know that she reached safely.

Taking out her phone, she typed the text and sent it to Venessa and instantly got a reply from her.

′That’s good. I’m already missing you :‘(’

She smiled sadly at the text and wrote her back.

‘I miss you too.’

She couldn’t check Venessa’s other text when she heard someone behind her.

“So I see you’ve arrived.” That similar deep voice...that held the aura of power and control.

She gulped and turned around. He was standing with his sides leaning on the door wearing a white shirt and grey pants, his tie was slightly loose.

He took slow steps towards her...until he was close enough. She of course was looking down unable to look into his eyes.

“Did you like it?” He asked out of nowhere. She didn’t answer. She couldn’t figure out the words...

“Look at me when I’m talking.” He said in his low voice which sounded more dangerous. She immediately obeyed him and stared right into his eyes.

He smiled when her eyes met with his. A beautiful smile that would capture any girl’s heart. If August wasn’t in that situation she would’ve been lost in his smile and the shine in his eyes. Little did she knew that she was the reason behind his beaming eyes and his smile...a real smile. It was almost unbelievable how Lucifer let a little girl enter his life and mess up with his mind.

And heart...

Yes, it was true. That girl did things to him...things that no woman could ever do. But why? Why her? What was so special in her that attracted him as nothing else mattered for him...Well, he already knew the answer.

He touched her face with her rough hand....caressing her cheek softly...

“Did you like your room?” He asked once again. Quite surprising how he didn’t get mad at her for repeating himself.

It’s her birthday...I don’t want to scare her away. At least not tonight.
