Embrace Of The Lucifer

Chapter 27



Chapter 27

August.

I gasped loudly. The photo fell from my hand on the floor. Master Nathan was staring at me with an

annoyed and angry look.

“What the fuck are you doing here, maid?” He asked again. This time louder than before.

“I-I was j-just..” He did not let me finish and said. “How dare you touch Lucifer’s belongings! If he finds

out about this you will be out of this house immediately if he doesn’t kill you first!” He roared at me and

took long strides towards me, making me go back. Picking up the photo from the floor, he put it back on

where it was before and glared at me. I looked down without saying anything.

“If you ever touch a single thing here, you will regret it. Do you understand that?” I nodded my head

swiftly and walked past him muttering sorry.

I immediately left the room, my heart was beating fast. He did not even let me explain and lashed out at

me... but I was grateful it was not Master Lucifer. I was sure he would’ve punished me and that was the

last thing I wanted. I proceeded towards where the other maids were. It was almost lunchtime, so all of

them were in their stationed positions. I found an empty chair and sat on it. I was told that we would

always eat our food in a medium-sized common room. It had a little table and a few chairs. I thought it

was enough for us. I missed Martha and Venessa...I wished I could see them again...

I was thankful for exchanging numbers with Venessa. At least I could text her anytime I wanted. I

decided to text her once I was free from my chores. One of the maids served our food on the table. The

aroma made me even more famished. Yuna had cooked udon noodles for us. That was the name

everyone was calling the food by. I had never heard of it. I did not even remember the last time I ate

Chinese food.

She served me the bowl full of noodles and handed me a couple of chopsticks. I didn’t know how to

use them but I was too embarrassed to tell her that, so I looked at the other girls and tried to copy

them. Only to fail miserably and end up embarrassing myself.

“It’s okay August, you can use a fork!” Isabella smiled and handed me the fork. I simply thanked her

and started to eat my lunch. The girls there were really friendly unlike Mr. Knight’s house, only Venessa

and Martha were nice to me. But here, I could say that they all were my friends, except for the other girl

Ruby. She was not bad to me or the others, but never really talked to me.

Once we were done, we picked up our dishes and washed them. Ela did not eat with us, unlike Martha.

Ela was very different than Martha.

However, we were back to our working stations again. It was such a big house but compared to Mr. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Knight’s house there was not a lot to do by 3 pm.

“Okay girls. Hear me out!” Ela yelled to get our attention. We all looked at her.

“Master is coming home early today, maybe he’ll be here in an hour. I want to know if anyone has

cleaned his room properly.” She asked.

“Yes, miss Ela. Isabella did it.” Alexa said. Ela nodded her head.

“Good, now don’t bother him when he comes home. Do the other chores and don’t go near his

bedroom or study room. He wants to rest and there shall be no disturbance. So, whatever you all do,

do it quietly. Now get back to your work.” We shook our heads in agreement and were leaving for our

chores. I was happy that I did not have to face him...

“August and Ruby. Stay with me.” I frowned slightly but stayed along with Ruby. The other maids had

left already.

She stared at us emotionless and said. “I apologize for stopping you two. But, there should be

someone who will do Master’s work when he gets home. So, I want you two to be here when he gets

home. Understood?” I wanted nothing but to run away right now. The more I wanted to stay away from

him, the more my fate brought me back to him. We nodded our heads anyway. Ruby looked like she

did not have any problems.

30 minutes had passed and there was no sign of master. I was praying that he would cancel his visit or

come late at night. We didn’t have anything to do at that time, but I was feeling anxious and nervous.

Ruby was busy with her phone, did not even spare a glance at me. I sighed and thought to call

Venessa and talk to her for some time. I was missing her a lot.

My phone was in my room, I was confused whether I should inform her or just leave without telling.

“Um...R-Ruby..” I called out her name. She stopped what she was doing and looked at me, raising an

eyebrow.

“I-I’m going to my room, I’ll be back soon I promise,” I told her. She nodded her head. “Don’t be late.”

She said and her attention was again on her phone.

I sighed and left for my room. I went in and grabbed my phone before coming back to where I was.

Ruby was sitting on the chair that was in the kitchen. She didn’t care about what I was doing.

I opened my phone and called Venessa. She received the call after a few rings.

“Hey, August!” I smiled. “Hey, Venessa. How are you?” I asked her politely.

“I’m fine girl, how are you? How are things over there? I missed you! I was so worried about you, I

wanted to call but I thought I’d get you in trouble.”

“Oh no, you wouldn’t get me in trouble. I missed you too. How’s everyone there and how’s Martha?” I

asked her.

“Martha is good and everything was fine here until....” I frowned and asked. “Until what?”

She inhaled deeply. “Until Master and his dad fought just a while ago. The atmosphere is not so good

here right now. Even Mrs. Knight is very upset.” I felt bad for Mrs. Knight. She seemed like a nice lady,

seeing her husband and son fighting must’ve been hard for her.

“Why did they fight?” I asked. “I don’t know August. We just heard them shouting at each other. After

that Master left the house, I think he is going back to his house”

“Y-Yes we we-were informed.”

Oh god! He left in a bad mood... I really hope he won’t take out his anger on us...

I gulped. I didn’t want to face that.

“Okay, August I should go now. Martha is calling me. See you, hun.”

“See you, Venessa,” I replied quietly and hung up the call.

After few minutes of waiting, Ruby and I finally heard the doorbell. She quickly put her phone in her

pocket and rushed towards the door. She opened it and I saw master get inside the house. He didn’t

even spare us a glance and started to walk towards his bedroom. I sighed and feeling relieved that he

did not see me.

I backed away a little and my hand hit the small table hard, making it fall on the floor. I gasped loudly

and flinched. It caught Master’s attention and I saw him look in my direction. My muscles tensed under

his stare. He kept staring at me, which had me trembling in fear. He let out his hand out of his pocket,

but to my surprise, he looked calm and his stare was not terrifying as usual. It was soft.

He then looked back at Ruby and gestured for her to listen to him. She ran to him and I saw him telling

her something. I could not hear them as they were quite far from where I was standing. All the time, his

eyes were on me. I didn’t know what to do. I bent down and set the table how it was before. I was too

scared to look up. But, when I did I met his dark eyes staring down at me. Almost dark as the night sky.

I was breathing heavily. I couldn’t comprehend what he was thinking about...

A few seconds passed, I saw him breaking the stare and walking up to his bedroom. I sighed in relief.

Ruby was already in the kitchen, preparing food.

“W-why are you cooking?” I questioned.

“Master said he wants his food upstairs.” She replied not looking at me. “What are you c-cooking? Here

let me he-” I was interrupted by her.

“No need. I can make it all. Besides that, Master asked for something light. So I’m just making caesar

salad.”

She replied bluntly.

“Okay,” I said and was cleaning the dishes, which were in the sink. I didn’t have much to do. But I didn’t

want to sit and do anything.

Ruby was done making the salad. She told me to fetch master’s regular drink, which was the alcohol of

course.

I fetched it and put it on the tray along with the glass and the salad bowl.

“Okay, it’s done now August. Go and give this to Master.” Ruby told me holding the tray. I looked at her

with a terrified look.

“What? Oh god don’t tell me you can’t even do that.” Ruby stated and rolled her eyes at me. “C’mon

now go. I’m sure you don’t want him to be mad.” I hastily shook my head and held the tray.

Turning around, I began to walk towards his bedroom. I heard Ruby muttering something under her

breath.

Oh god why me?

Okay, August just stay calm. You just have to put the tray and come back here.

I finally reached his room and knocked on the door. I got no reply.

I knocked again but it was still the same. I held the tray carefully with one hand and twisted the

doorknob until the door was wide open enough.

I peeked and did not see anyone. I sighed in relief and got inside. I wondered where Master was... but I

was thankful that he was not there. I carefully put the tray on the table and turned around to leave.

My heart sank and I could feel my breath hitch when I felt a strong hand gripping my wrist tightly. I

turned and saw him standing there with his pants on and a white towel around his neck. It looked like

he had just taken a shower.

“M-master...wh-what are you do-doing?” I asked quietly. I squirmed to get out of his hold but he was

tightening it more.

“I can’t wait anymore.” He said, almost whispering it to me.

In a swift motion, I was pulled onto him, his hand wrapped around my waist and his other hand went on

my head, gripping my hair.

His lips were crushed onto mine. He moved his lips on mine softly yet in a rough motion. My eyes were

wide open and tears started to form in my eyes. I pushed on his chest trying to break the kiss, but he

never moved an inch, instead he pulled me closer to him. I closed my eyes hoping it would end soon...

His hand freely roam around my body. It made me feel disgusted with myself that I was letting this

happen to me. I was trying everything to make him leave me but I was helpless.

Seconds, which felt like an eternity of hell, passed and I finally felt him break the kiss. I backed away

from him with my tear-stained face. He was taking dangerous slow steps towards me. Before I could

think of anything I ran towards the door.

He ran after me and grabbed my hand. I screamed as loud as possible but his hand was on my mouth,

muffling my screams. I didn’t give up and kept on screaming and thrashing. Every possible thing to get

me away from him.

He only moved me closer to him. He kicked the door to closed it and brought me inside, I was still

thrashing and squirming. All of a sudden, I felt him throwing me on his bed. I bounced on it and backed

away from him.

“St-stay away from me!” I yelled. He smirked at me without saying anything.

He grabbed my feet and pulled me towards him. I gripped the bed sheets tightly. Master bent down to

my level and whispered in my ear...

“You’re mine.”
