Embrace Of The Lucifer

Chapter 19

August tried her best to rest. If she knew that because of her departure this will happen then she would

have never gone out of the house. She extremely felt bad for Martha, because of her, poor Martha was

in trouble almost. But, at the same time, she also knew that it was no one's fault...still the reason for the

master's anger was confusing to her.

The thought of that man sent a shiver down her spine. She was better away from that man. But, she

knew it wasn't possible. It was his house too so it was obvious that he would visit the mansion any time

he wants.

She got up from her bed and wore her outfit. She brushed her hair and pulled it in a ponytail. After that,

she went to the kitchen to Martha to know her tasks.

She noticed other maids whispering to each other when they saw her coming towards the kitchen. She

was confused but didn't bother to think about it anymore. When she saw Martha, she asked for her

tasks and Martha gave her the list of works she had to do. She took it and started her chores.

"Hey, August!" She heard a voice from behind. August turned and saw Venessa coming towards her

and hugged her.

"Welcome back!" She smiled and thanked her. "I hope you enjoyed time with your aunt and how is

she?"

"She is fine and yes I did enjoy it a lot, thanks for asking." She replied with a soft smile. She was still

bothered by the weird glances that she was getting from the other maids. She thought to ask Venessa

about it.

"Venessa, can I ask you a question?" She asked softly.

"Yeah, sure hon go ahead."

"Can you tell me why master L-Lucifer was so mad at Martha?" Venessa's smile disappeared at her

question. It was obvious that Venessa was worried about August and as well as Martha. Because they

knew Lucifer's wrath was the worst thing that anyone could ever ask for and both Martha and Venessa

didn't want August to be the victim of his wrath.

"August...Master was angry at her because she let you out of the house without asking him."

"The other maids told me the same but...but why he was mad? I thought it was fine and that h-he

doesn't care about the movements of the maids inside this house..." She replied. Even though her

context was wrong. Deep inside she questioned her context...

"No one knows August. His reaction was pretty surprising. I've been working here for 2 years and in

those 2 years I went to my home lots of time and sometimes even returned after weeks, but he never

cared neither got mad for that. I only got a scolding from Martha and a warning from Mrs. Knight that's

it. But yesterday...it was extremely unexpected." It scared August even more. She knew Lucifer had

serious issues with her...she couldn't even name it. After those things that he did to her...it was

confirmed that he was obsessed with her but she was still far away from understanding it. She was

afraid of the fact that he might try to do those things again with her...

Tears threatened to fall from her eyes at just the thought of him assaulting her like that again.

"Oh god August! Please don't cry. It wasn't your fault okay? Please don't cry. That's how master Lucifer

is actually. He gets angry for no reason sometimes. You don't have to get upset because of that

everything is fine now." Venessa said while wiping her tears. August nodded...even though she wasn't

crying because of what Venessa said.

"Now let's get back to work," Venessa stated with a smile which August returned. Then both of the girls

went to their work.

August's tasks were like her regular ones, cleaning the room and gardening.

Cleaning room...it means his room too.

She was hoping she wouldn't come face to face with him again. But God had a different fate planned

for her. She just went upstairs towards Mr. and Mrs. Knight's room and that was when the devil showed

up.

He was as usual wearing his gray suit. His hair was nicely combed and his posture of course was like a

powerful man's look. His one hand was inside his pocket and the other hand was holding his phone.

His eyes were glued to his phone. It seemed that he was busy with his work. August thought this was

her chance of escaping.

She hurriedly turned around and was walking out of there when her feet hit the wall and lost her

balance. A low scream erupted from her mouth. She immediately covered her mouth with her hand,

hoping she didn't catch his attention.

But, as it was mentioned, God had a different plan for her. Lucifer stopped in a middle way and looked

up from his phone. With one single glance, he knew who was this. Small petite figure, dark brown hair,

and pale skin. It was her.

He went close to her and bent down to her level. He could already see her quivering and trying to move

away from him. But, at that time even that movement of her didn't bother him.

He just...he just wanted to see her. It was only one day she was gone but for him, it was worse, it was

decades for him.

"Look at me." He commanded with his deep alpha voice. She hesitated but knew that it was better to

obey him that time. She looked up straight at him.

Surprisingly, his face held no anger, no annoyance, and no danger. His face was looking beautiful

under the little light of that area. His eyes were sparkling, his sharp jawline was on the view. She felt

like she was looking at a totally different person.

She didn't realize that he helped her stand up. When she came back to her senses, she backed away

and snatched her hand from his. She clutched her dress tightly, feeling her hands sweating badly.

His strong glaze was still on August. He never wanted to look away from her. He wanted to hold her C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

close and stroke her cheeks. But, he wanted to know why she went out of that house without his

permission.

"Why did you went out of the house without asking for my permission, August?" She jolted at his

sudden question and she felt weird when he called her by her name. It was rare for Lucifer to call a

maid by her name. He never gave that respect to any of the maids in the house.

"I-I went to see m-my aunt, Master." She replied with a shaky voice.

"Did I give you permission?" She gulped and shook her head.

"Did I..." He came a bit close to her and continued. "Did I give you the right to do whatever you want

here?"

"N-no master. I-I'm sorry it'll never h-happen again." She apologized, lowering her head.

"Hmm. I know it will never happen again. Because I'll make sure of it." He smirked at her. She was

beyond scared. She knew Lucifer was cruel, so she wasn't sure what he was talking about.

"And come downstairs, I have an announcement to make." With that, he left. It left her confused again.

What kind of announcement it could be...

She went downstairs after few minutes and saw there were already Martha and few maids gathered

together.

"Martha, call my mother too." Martha nodded and went to call Mrs. Knight. A few minutes later she

came and questioned Master.

"Son...what's wrong? Why did you gather us?"

"You will find out soon mother." He replied.

"So, the announcement I planned to make...it's more like a command that one of you have to follow."

Every maid was looking at their feet, not daring to look in his eyes, even August. Each of them was

scared to death...

"I'm taking any one of the maids with me to my house." That shook everyone...

"But son...why any maid from here? You can easily have a new and experienced one as you like

everything in your house clean and perfect."

"My decision is initial mom. I'm taking a maid from here." His mother nodded in defeat.

August could already feel his intense stare at him. She didn't dare look up as she was extremely

scared to look at him.

Lucifer on the other hand was finally happy that he took the first step of his plan...

"Which one of them you want to take son?" Mrs. Knight asked.

Lucifer's eyes went back to the maids. He knew what he was doing. He knew that it was the right thing

to do at that time...

He extended his hand and pointed at the girl he desired to pick...

"This one." He stated. Everyone looked up and their reaction was a mixture of horror and sympathy for

the girl.

That girl was none other than August...
