Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 54

She read his writing and couldn't stop shaking her head along with her shivering body. This can't be happening! He can't be in love with me.

She kept chanting this inside her head, it was unbelievable but unfortunately, it was true. Her body went limp and she fell on the sofa with a loud thud. She thought she couldn't be more unfortunate now. He was in love with her, another reason why it would be hard for her to escape. It was difficult enough with his house surrounded by guards and his vicious eyes that never even left her alone for a moment. She squeezed her eyes shut for the 100th time in one hour and let the tears of sorrow and angst drop down her eyes.

Lucifer's eyes opened slightly, his eyebrows furrowed, and wondering where did the thudding sound come from. He squinted his eyes before opening them widely and found his August sitting on his sofa with some papers in her hands. He threw his head back on the pillow and let out a low grunt.

Now what? She's gonna sit there and began her drama again?

Lucifer started to feel he had enough of her dramas, if she tried to escape from him one more time, he wasn't planning to go slow on her anymore. Keeping her in the basement as her punishment should've taught her a lesson, according to Lucifer. He was willing to give her time to adjust herself in her new life, what else did she want? He had never done that for anyone before not even for his family.

She should be fucking grateful.

August didn't notice Lucifer waking up and getting out of his bed, he was still in his boxer as he walked towards her. She was so engrossed by her thoughts that she had barely any moment to look around her. It was as if her fate was playing with her, toying her life and squashing her freedom right in front of her. It felt like a maze where she was lost for almost a year and still didn't find her way to get back to normalcy. Normalcy that didn't exist in her life anymore.

The papers from her hands were taken by her oppressor and placed gently on the crystal-clear glass table. That was when she looked up and saw him. His face, as usual, didn't hold any emotion.

"What are you doing here?" He questioned. What am I doing here? What does he think people do after waking up? Find some ridiculous papers where they find out their tormentor is in love with them and never going to let them go. What does it look like I'm doing? Sitting on his luxury sofa and staring at the man who is standing above me thinking how my life would be from now on. If I would have my life anymore, this man could kill me anytime he wanted.

For the worst, she could only utter these in her mind and not voice them out. She didn't have that much courage to anger him, she was afraid he might hurt Caroline.

"N-nothing." She whispered and turned her face away. As much as it agitated Lucifer, he didn't tell her anything.

"Okay. It's still very early. C'mon get some more rest, I have to leave for work in three hours." She shook her head. She didn't want to go anywhere near Lucifer anymore, she felt her stomach turning and she felt sick.

Lucifer passed her a death glare which immediately made her obey him without any more resistance. But the fear in her never ceased. She had many questions in her mind, but there was that one question that troubled her the most.

"Why?" She whispered. "Why me?" She continued. Lucifer stopped pulling her to the bed and looked at her.

Is she really asking this question now? She still has no idea 'why' it's her?

Perhaps, it was better for August to not know the answer now. He ignored her and walked with her to the bed and laid her down with him getting in the bed beside her.

August was too lost to repeat her question, so she gave in and closed her eyes and she hoped that all of these were just a bad dream. She needed to wake up. So, she closed her eyes, letting a tear fall from one eye, and soon she was lost in her dreamland.

He pinned her down on the bed and got on top of her. Her body was beneath him, her helpless hands were tightly held by the devil himself making her winced in pain. His body was tightly pressed on hers.

"Accept it! You cannot fucking run away from me. You can NEVER escape from me. It would be better for you if you just accept that your fate is with ME. You are mine!" She shut her eyes and sobbed quietly beneath him. She knew she could never escape from him; she knew he would never let her go. But that didn't stop her from trying. That would never stop her from trying.

She swallowed her fear and looked back at him with her tearful big eyes.

"I-I'm not yours! I can never be yours, master. I am just a maid who works in your house. Y-you have no right to claim me yours like this." She threw back. It didn't shock Lucifer, it amused him. His fiery cat was finally able to open her mouth in front of him.

His hand left her one hand only to stroke her cheeks, and it went from her cheeks to her lips. He rubbed her bottom lip with his fingertips slowly, feeling the softness of her lips on his fingertips. He leaned down and crashed his lips on hers, kissing her like there was no tomorrow.

His lips danced on hers, he was biting and sucking her bottom lip making her whimper. A few minutes later, he let go of her. August was already panting when he released, she inhaled as much air as possible.

They both stared at each other with an intensity that was hard to explain.

"You are mine, August. You were mine the moment I laid my eyes on you. You were mine when I saw you for the first time when you opened the door for me. You were mine when I saved you from the guy in the party who almost raped you..." He gritted at the bitter memory. "You were mine since the first time my heart skipped a beat whenever I saw you...You are mine and you will always be mine." With that, he kissed her lips again. She heard the unbuckling sound of his belt and her eyes widen in fear. She pushed him as hard as possible but that didn't stop him.

In a blink of an eye, he tore her dress and once again claimed her as his.

****

A loud bloodcurdling scream filled in the silent room with the piercing sound of agony and distress. A few beads of sweat were formed on her forehead, the red top was drenched in something cold and wet. Her eyes were wide and her face was pale as if she had seen some ghost. Her mouth was parted slightly and whimpers after whimpers escaped from in between her lips.

Someone entered the bedroom hurriedly and rushed towards her. "Ma'am, are you okay? I heard your scream." August's eyes didn't leave a certain surface, they were sealed in one place. The young girl who entered the room shook her body lightly. "Ma'am, please tell me what happened? Did you get hurt?"
