Embrace Of The Lucifer

She lightly dropped her small handbag beside her bag full of clothes and looked at the bedroom. It wasn’t what she was expecting to see. The room was full of purple and white balloons.

Just how I like...But how....who did this?

She took few more steps towards the wall that was full of balloons. She frowned when she noticed something written on the wall. She pushed the balloons aside to have a better view.

Her jaw dropped when she saw what was written on the wall.

“Happy Birthday kitten.”

Kitten? It's him who did this...of course, it’s him. This is his house who else will do it?

It was not written, it was plastered on the wall with colorful papers that were cut in alphabets. It looked beautiful and mesmerizing. August couldn’t remove her eyes from all the decorations.

Yes, it was true. She always wanted these things for her birthday when she was a kid. Although she never regretted the birthdays that she celebrated with Caroline, she just couldn’t believe her eyes.

She had a closer look at her surroundings. Her eyes fell on the small 3-foot yellow tulips flower pot.

It was decorated with beautiful string lights.

A small smile appeared on her face when she saw more different types of fairy string lights around the room.

The room was not small like her old ones like Martha and others. This one was bigger. Not much but enough bigger for anyone like her. The walls were painted with light yellow and baby blue color.

Her breath hitched.

H-how he knows that I like these colors in a room..?

He knew everything about her...everything. She wasn’t even aware of it. All the things were confusing and scaring her at the same time. She didn’t know how to react. Why would he do something like that for her? Who was she? Just a mere maid.

These thoughts were whirling around her head.

She consoled herself lots of time saying that she was just a maid...just a maid. But, deep down she knew that if she was just a maid then she would never have been in that situation. It scared her a lot.

She let out a deep breath that she was holding in for a long time and sat on the edge of the bed. She didn’t see anyone around the house when she came inside. She wondered where was everyone...

Somehow it’s a good thing at least he isn’t here either. I don’t have to face him tonight.
