Embrace Of The Lucifer

*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.

Let me know and I will dismiss you.” Once again I nodded my head. Ela departed

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

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
