August's P.O.V
Lucifer? Did his parents really named him that?
"Is this his real name?"
"Nobody knows his real name also nobody calls by his real name except his mother" she said.
"Oh" I replied.
"I suggest you August, please stay away from master. He's not a good signal" she said pleading with her eyes.
"Wh-what? Wh-why?"
"Don't ask questions. Just do as I say" she snapped at me. "From today you will not go near him, neither you will talk to him" she ordered. I nod my head in response. I don't know why she is saying all this.But if I want to work here, I have to listen to her.
I closed my eyes hoping that sleep will come over soon.
************************************
I'm alone somewhere, somewhere dark. "Please help me mom please don't leave me here please" I screamed for my mom.But no one came. What did I ever do to deserve a life like this? My own mom dad is treating me like s**t. I sobbed badly hoping that someone will come and save me. "Mom, dad, please help" I sobbed. I sat on the dirty floor and rested my head on the wall. Few minutes later someone barge in.
"Get up you filthy b***h" shout my dad and pulled my hair. I screamed in pain.
"Please dad no stop please" I begged.
"Shut up you w***e" he said and dragged me to the basement and threw me inside
"Please dad don't" I begged. He stare at me with his evil eyes.
"Shut up" he growled and then took out rope from his pocket and tied me to the bed. I struggled and tried to run but couldn't. He tied my both hands and legs. He bring a belt from the closet. I stare at him in horror and shook my head continuously begging him to not beat me.
"This will teach you that you can never escape us" he hissed and connect the belt with my skin.
I woke up panting badly. I'm again having these nightmares. I didn't realise I was crying until I touched my cheeks and felt tears falling from my eyes. I rubbed my eyes and went to the bathroom. After washing my face I went back to the bed. I sighed deeply and lay back on the bed. Why all this happened to me? Why my parents turned into abusive one? They were so sweet and caring. My dad loved me to death and my mom she always used to treat me like a princess. Tears were drooling from my eyes as I remembered how my life used to be and what is it right now. I shrugged my thoughts and went back to sleep.
Lucifer's P.O.V
God why she is so beautiful! So pure so innocent. Her eyes....god her eyes were magical. She looks so innocent. There was no doubt that she was scared when she saw me. I don't blame her for that. God I want to know her, hold her and cherish her. I don't know what's so special about her that attracts me. My heart clenched when I saw her closing her eyes and trying hard not to cry when I first time met her. I can't help she was disobeying me and NO ONE disobey me. That IS my nature and I cannot help. And again my sister has to yell on her. I wanted to slap my sister for making her cry. I clenched my fists and banged it on the wall. Why does it effect me that she was crying? She is just a maid. A maid. Who is suppose to work in my house. But instead of that she is doing something else to me.
I groaned and laid on my bed trying hard not to think of her. But how? She is everywhere in mind! How can she be so beautiful? She was not even in any attractive outfit which make her look beautiful. She was just in a normal maid outfit, she was just wearing a normal socks with heels that all the maids wear and she had her hair loose, the hair that I want to hold to make her stay in place when she will not listen to me. f**k! She is driving me crazy. I cannot think straight. I have to do something else. I forcefully closed my eyes and very soon I fall into deep sleep.
~Next Morning~
I woke up by the sound of my alarm clock. I groaned and turn it off. I force myself to sit up and went to the bathroom. Once I was fresh I got out and put my clothes on. I tied my shoe and applied some cologne.
I went downstairs and saw that no one was even wake up. I think I have to eat my breakfast alone right now and leave for my house. This house here is my dad's not mine. Well although he say that it is mine as well but I like my own things more. I'm also a successful business in our company and a CEO. So I bought myself a house and lives there. I rarely came here.
The maids were cleaning the house, they bow down when they saw me. I picked up a wine glass from the table and pour wine in it. I took a sip and roam around the house. I stopped in front of a window which showed the garden outside. Glancing at there I saw someone was cleaning the garden and playing with the flowers. I focused more and what I saw shocked me to death. It is her! She was plucking the dead grass from the ground and her beautiful hair was open, flowing in the wind. My heart stopped for a moment when I saw some of her were in her face blocking her eyes from seeing anything and her, trying to remove the hair from her eyes with her dirty hands. She shook her head hoping that the hair will go back, when she didn't succeed she groaned and get up from the ground and rubbed her hands in the towel that was beside her. Once she was done she patted her hair and pull it into a messy bun. But it didn't stop some of her front hair coming into her eyes which was making her look more beautiful, more gorgeous.
She was done with her work and was coming towards the house. She got inside and her eyes met mine. She gasped in shock.
"M-master, y-you're here. D-do you need so-something?" she stuttered keeping her eyes down. God! f**k what she has that make me want to go close to her.
I said nothing and move near to her. She flinched when she saw me coming. I smirked at her reaction. I stopped when I was enough close and caressed her cheeks. Her silky smooth skin melted in my hands as I caress them.
"S-sir what are you d-doing?" she whispered.
"Beautiful" I murmured. She look into my eyes with her own teary eyes. It stopped me what I was doing. I clenched my fists and slowly move my hands and move away from her. This give her a chance and she ran away from me.
What the hell was I doing?
I ran my hand in my hair and cursed under my breathe. I really need to stay away from her. Today I'll go back to my house and will make sure that I'll not come here regularly.
After having breakfast I went out of the house and get into my car. I need to do something so that I won't think of her and my work will surely help me.
August's P.O.V
What's his problem? Why he was so close to me and caressing my cheek! I was so afraid I couldn't even move. But I had to admit that his touch was soft and gentle but I don't like any random guy touching me. Thank god he left. Martha told me that he barely comes and live on his own house. I'm happy about the fact that I don't have to see him much.
"Come on girls, have your breakfast" I heard Martha calling for us. All the girls followed her and sat in the kitchen table which was for us. We have our food here. They sat with their friends and was gossiping about how hot our master is. Seriously? He is our master how can they say that? I had to admit he is gorgeous but we are not the right persons to say that. Well I have not really made friends, all of the girls here are mean.
"Hello there" a soft voice said snapping me out of my thought.
"Oh hi" I quietly replied.
"So you're the new maid here?" she asked as she sit beside me with her plate full of food.
"Yes" I said and smiled.
"I'm Vanessa" she said and offered a hand shake.
"August" I shyly replied and shake hands.
"August? Any special reason for naming you that?" she chuckled and asked.
"Uh not really, no special reason." I said looking embarrassed. I know that name is strange.
She chuckled "Its okay. Don't need to be shy sweetie" she said. After that we all ate our breakfast. There was an awkward silence between all of us until Martha came.
"Girls please finish your food fast. You have work to do. And let me tell you what you guys have to do for today. Okay so Vanessa you will work on the kitchen and clean the dishes. Susan and Alice you will clean the living room" that's how she gave chores to everyone and lastly me.
"And lastly August, you have to clean the dining table, the library and the rooms" I nod my head at her. I was happy with my work, I just love cleaning and especially am excited to clean the library area. Finishing my food I placed it under the sink and washed my hands.
"Move aside you jerk" someone said from behind. I tilt my head and saw a brunette girl staring at me with a smirk. I said nothing and quietly move and give her space to wash her hands. She did her business keeping her eyes on me as I was looking down.
"You're the one who pour water into Miss Hazel's lap?" she asked in a mocking voice. I slowly nod my head.
"Well what a stupid you are to do this" she said and walked away. A tear escaped from my eyes. Why its always me who gets bullied?
"Its okay August just ignore she is like this" Vanessa said and patted my back. Well this is the only thing I could do now.
************************************
I finished cleaning dining table, it took me good 30 minutes to clean. Now I have to clean the library. I'm so excited I just love books. I reached at the library area and entered. I gasped when I saw tons of books were in the shelf and my goodness how big this library is!
God I don't know where to start. There were also other maids who were cleaning the library. I sighed. Thank god I don't have to clean it all alone.
"Excuse me, do you need something?" I turn around and saw a guy staring at me. He was a cute with blue eyes and blonde hair.
"Uh w-well I-I'm here f-for cleaning the li-library" I stammered.
He chuckled and said "Okay. You can clean that section" he point out the section. I nod my head and quickly get away from him. I'm very bad at talking with guys.
I reached at the section and started to clean it. This place is very dirty. Does anyone even read books? The books looks like no one haven't read them for years. I cleaned all of the bottom shelves and now I have to clean the top. But how? The shelves were at least 8 foot long. I'm too short for this. I look around the room searching for a ladder. My eyes stopped at a corner where the ladder was kept. I sighed in relief and pick up the heavy ladder and placed it in the section where I am working. I carefully put my feet into the steps and then another. I was terrified of heights so it is quite difficult for me. I closed my eyes and slowly take another step and then another. When I was about to take another step, I slipped. I screamed loudly and kept my eyes shut. I thought that I would fell on the hard wooden floor with a loud thud that will definitely break my back bone, but instead of that when I opened my eyes. I saw a pair of blue eyes staring at me. I gasped when I noticed he was holding me in a bridal style. I look down in embarrassment.
"Easy there beautiful" he said and put me down.
"T-thank you" I said quietly and turned around to leave.
"Hey wait. what's your name?" he asked. He is asking for my name? No boy ever asked that.
"A-august" I replied and quickly left the library. I will just tell Martha that I was not able to clean the top shelves of the library so I left. I hope she will not get angry, or maybe I can just clean the rooms for now and then I will clean the library. That would be good.
