Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 28

August.

The next day felt like it was happening in fast forward. I had been constantly running here and there, doing chores. It was weird how master had not employed many maids for such a big mansion of a house that he had. There were only a few of us. But then, we were not allowed to go to most parts of the house. So we did not have much cleaning to do, but as it was my first day, there were many things about this place that I had to know about. It was a kind of busy day for me.

“August.” I heard Alexa call out my name so I ran towards her.

“Hey, if you are free can you please put these files in the master’s study room?” I frowned.

“I-I thought we were not allowed to go there..” I replied.

“Oh, master has two study rooms. One is beside his bedroom and you have to put these in the study room that is beside the library.” I nodded my head and took the pile of files from her hands. She gave them to me a small smile and walked away.

I turned around and began to walk towards the library. Thankfully it was not that far as I reached it in only 5 minutes. I was walking hastily because I had other chores to do too after this. After I reached it, I twisted the doorknob to open it wide and got inside. The room was tidy and neatly organized. I looked on the right side and saw a huge rack where the files were kept. I started to set the files one by one carefully on the rack. I was pushing the files aside so that I can put the other ones when I noticed something fall from one of the files. I sighed and bent down to pick it up. It looked like a photograph as it was facing the floor. I could not see whose photograph it was. I turned it around to see what it was. It was a photo of two young boys and a man standing between them with his hands on the boys’ shoulders. I could see a small smile on the man’s face but the boys’ faces held no emotion. I did not know if I was dreaming but I thought the younger boy’s face held horror... like he was scared of something. I noticed his hands were clenching his shirt. But the boy on the left, who looked older, had no emotion on his face. And he looked very familiar...

I wonder who they are... Is the boy master Lucifer? I saw a picture of him in Mister Knight’s house, it must be master... but who’s the other boy? And who’s that man?....

The man sure did not look like Mister Knight. I was confused about who he could be...

“What on fucking earth are you doing???”

Narrator’s P.O.V

Lucifer was in his father’s house, sitting in the living room with his parents and his siblings except for Ebenezer. He had to go for few days for his business purposes.

Everyone had a glass of wine in their hands and were discussing things between themselves.

“The deal with Christoper was great. Our company benefited a lot from it. It was successful.” He sounded satisfied by it.

“Oh, that’s great honey. I think it’s all because of Lucifer and his hard work. Our company’s greatest success has always happened because of Lucifer.” Mrs. Knight said, smiling at Lucifer.
