Embrace Of The Lucifer

Chapter 30

*Present Time*

August.

My body was feeling sore. My head ached the most. I woke up feeling a little dizzy but it was gone after

a while and my vision was clear after blinking a few times.

I found myself alone in the room. I turned to my side and saw a jar of water beside me. There was an

empty glass next to it. I picked up the jar with my shaking hand carefully so that I would not drop it and

poured water into the glass. I drank it with few gulps. I realized my throat had been dry; the water

helped to soothe my dry throat.

I was still in my maid outfit, which was just a simple knee-high pencil skirt with a white blouse and black

stockings. I pulled out the stockings from my legs. I rushed into the bathroom. I was feeling like taking a

shower because my body felt sweaty.

After spending 15 minutes inside the bathroom, I came out of the bathroom wearing a fresh pair of my

maid outfit. All of us were given two pairs of this outfit. I quickly dried my hair with a towel and brushed

it. I did not pull it together in a bun as it was still wet. Put on my new pair of stockings and wore my

shoes. I was ready to head out and start the day when I remember what happened before. I didn’t want

to think about it. I remembered exactly what he did to me.

Tears started to stream down my eyes. I quickly wiped them away and head outside. When I did not

see him for few days, I was hoping that he would never repeat what he did to me ever again. But how

wrong I was... he seemed to get even more desperate after a few days of him and me not coming face

to face. I wished to end it all. I wished to leave the job... but would he let me leave? It was obvious he

was rich and powerful. What if he does not let me leave? Or... what if he does not care at all that I

leave? If I leave maybe he would forget all about it. It might not even bother him.

However, I shrugged off the thoughts. Making my way towards the kitchen, I saw the maids in the living

room with Ela. I frowned. What are they doing there?

I went there and saw they were talking about something.

I was standing just right behind them. They did not notice me so I cleared my throat to gain their

attention.

They turned back to see me.

“Oh, I see you have woken up. How are you feeling now?” Ela asked with her familiar emotionless

tone.

“I’m fine Ela. Thank you.” I replied quietly.

“Alright. Sounds good. So, I hope you can work now?” She asked raising her eyebrow. I nodded my

head.

“Good. Alexa will tell you about your tasks for today and if you are not feeling well. Let me know and I

will dismiss you.” Once again I nodded my head. Ela departed the living room, leaving me alone with

Alexa and Isabella.

“Hey, are you sure you can work?” Isabella asked. I smiled and nodded. “Yes Bella, I’m sure. Please

don’t worry.” She did not look satisfied with my answer but nodded her head anyway.

Alexa told me my tasks and in 10 minutes I began my chores, just like a normal day.

I was feeling better than before. The medicines I was given after my meal worked on my body well.

Aunt Caroline called there to talk to me since I did not inform her about the phone I had. She got to

know about my health and requested Ela if she could visit me since I could not. Thankfully she allowed

her to visit me for few hours. I was really happy to hear that. I was missing her so much. I wanted to tell

her that I was thinking about quitting the job..I did not know how she would react but I wanted to take a

chance.

I could not work there while my master assaulting me every chance he would get. It made me furious

that I could not do anything to protect myself. He had a weird aura that never failed to make my feet

crawl in fear. Thoughts of him touching me against my will...it was enough to frighten me. I figured well

he would not stop. He had the power, he could do anything he wanted. He even threatened me using Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Caroline...

Oh my god, what if he tries to hurt her after finding out that I want to quit?

My heart dropped and my feelings were once again restored with the same fear and agony. I wanted to

cry. But I didn’t want to become weak. As I planned before I would take a chance. I would not let him

hurt aunt Caroline. All my life I had been living with fear and pain. In the beginning, there were my

parents, who pretended to love me at first but then showed me that I was nothing to them. I had to live

among the kids who bullied me in the hostel. Even that time I became weak. I knew I had to fight and

getaway. What master Lucifer was doing to me was wrong. He was doing wrong to me. It was not his

infatuation or unknown feelings for me. Those were his psychotic behavior and his sick desire to

control. I could not let him get what he wanted...

“August!” I tilted my head and noticed Ela, calling me. I ran off to her and asked what she wanted.

“Your aunt is here. I sent her to your room and told her to wait for a while. You can go there but I need

you to help Isabella in the garden. It should not take much.”

“Yes, that is not a problem to me.” She nodded her head feeling satisfied. “Good. Do not worry. Your

aunt is staying till dinner.” She went away from there. I was glad thinking I could spend more time with

Caroline.

Isabella needed my help on the plantation. I loved gardening and that was why I was so good at the

garden. I could easily do it.

“Goodness August, I don’t know how you could even like it so much. I hate it.” I laughed.

“I love doing it, Isabella. These colorful flowers and green trees make me so happy. And when I see the

bees sucking on the flowers for honey and the butterflies flying all around the garden, it makes me

happy.” I stated.

“Wow, you’re such a nature lover.” She chuckled and tried to follow my work.

“Ugh, this plantation is the worst part.”

“Not really. Here I will teach you..”

I properly showed her how to do that. Thankfully she understood and did the rest on her own. I went

inside the house and ran straight to my room. Aunt Caroline was sitting on my bed, carefully observing

the whole room. She saw me and smiled. I ran to her and hugged her.

“I missed you so much,” I muttered.

“I missed you too baby. How are you? I heard you are sick.” She questioned. I tensed. I could not tell

her how I got sick.

“I am fine now aunt. It was just a little fever.”

“I am still worried honey. Anyways, I brought something for you.” She opened her back and took out a

box and handed it to me. I opened the box and there placed my favorite food, mozzarella sticks. I

smiled brightly and hugged her. Although she had so many money problems she never failed to make

me happy, even a little.

“Thank you so much, aunt. These are my favorite.” I picked up one stick and took a bite. It was crispy

outside and the soft texture of cheese in it melted in my mouth. I almost moaned at the taste. No

wonder it was my favorite.

“I know honey that’s why I made you these.” She told me.

We talked for a long. I wanted to wait till I tell her about leaving the job...we were having such good

moments I did not want to ruin it.
