“I do not accept,” she said calmly, with a smirk on her face, as she flung the maid's clothes onto his face.
FLASHBACK
Devile rolled his eyes at her. He walked to his wardrobe and picked a black shirt.
He buttoned up his shirt and sat on his bed.
“Speak or leave the room before I make sure you drop dead. The sight of you irritates me”. He said with his eyes closed as he rested his head on the bed frame.
“As if you can, do that and I’ll make sure I watch my dad and brothers destroy you” she thought with an eye roll before moving close to the bed.
Devile smirked and opened his eyes.
“ I refuse to work as a maid, I can’t move to the maid’s quarter also. I’m not here for that. I’ll soon leave your clan is this how you treat your important guests?” Shayla said in anger as she held the folded maid clothes tightly in anger.
Devile’s eyes dimmed. “Important, you say? I don’t have any important guests in my clan for now. And you do not get to decide. Guess you threw the clothes on the floor, then you’ll work as a maid here and move to the maid’s quarters also”
His voice remained firm and low.
Her finger nails digged into the clothes as she held them tightly while trying to control her anger.
She breathed in and out silently while trying to calm her anger while Devile watched her like an annoying clown.
“ I do not accept” She said, her voice calm and her lips curved into a smirk.
She moved closer to him and her face grew cold as she flung the maid's clothes on his face before taking a few steps back.
“You’re not the boss of me, you're my uncle. In case you don’t know I do not wish to be here. If you hadn’t barged into my room and cut off my rope while I was trying to escape. I won’t be here you…you..” she rolled her eyes as she kept her mouth shut.
“You monster” she thought in her head.
A loud laughter echoed in the room.
Devile laughed with the maid cloth on his face
The sound of his laughter echoed through his room, and Shayla felt shiver run down her spine.
Devile stood up from the bed taking calculated steps towards Shayla.
Shayla took a step back each time he took a step forward.
His eyes were cold with a smirk on his lips, Shayla couldn’t maintain eye contact
Her eyes kept avoiding his.
Her back hit the wall and she found her breath seized.
She couldn’t breathe
“ Moon goddess if I survive this I promise not to run my mouth anyhow again”
Shayla prayed silently.
“Do you have a death wish?” Devile asked slowly with his face bent to her level.
His breath fanned her face as her nose caught his body scent.
She shook her head with her eyes glued to the ground.
“ I really want to kill you right now, I want to cut your head off your body and make sure your body doesn’t fill a box… you disgust me “ he said with so much disdain and hatred in his eyes.
“ So since I don’t want to kill you right now, I’ll kill your father, your precious mom, and brothers… I’ll hang their heads on the wall of your clan. And send their body parts to different clans as a gift.” Devile said with a sinister smile forming on his face as
His hands were shaky and were moving close to her neck when her legs gave out in fear.
She knelt with tears rolling down her face while shivering in fear.
“ Please, I’ll do anything … don’t harm my parents. I beg you” she said as tears rolled down her cheeks
Her eyes darted to the maid fit on the king-sized bed Deville placed it on.
“ working as a maid? I agree, I’ll do that”
She crawled to where the cloth was in tears and picked it.
“ I can work as a maid, but don’t f*****g hurt my family” she screamed in tears.
“ I beg you, I’ll be obedient and calm from now on”
She said while hiccuping.
Devile’s face twisted into anger, his blood was boiling as he looked at her.
“ I hate pretenders , you haven’t changed. Still a pretender after so many decades ”’ he said in anger but Shayla didn’t hear as she was busy begging and crying.
A knock on the door eased the tension in the room a little bit.
Shayla remained on her knees with the cloth held tightly to her chest.
One of the guards walked in and bowed.
Devile walked back to the bed and lay on it, his came out soft and cold.“ speak”
“The new head maid is here to see you my lord” the guard said.
He signaled with his hand to let her in , the guard walked back to the door and opened it for the headmaid before walking out.
“ I’m here as ordered my Lord” The new head maid said with a sweet smile on her face.
Her smile turned into a frown as her face caught sight of Shayla on the ground.
“ She works under you in the kitchen from now on, let her know what to do from now on” he said then closed his eyes.
“Okay my lord, I’ll do as you want” she said with a smile.
“ I’ll work as a maid but I’d like to keep the room , can I do that?” She asked
“ I’m only but a human staying in the same room with wolves is dangerous for me, uncle” she continued as tears continued to roll down her face.
Devile’s cold eyes opened revealing hiscolored eyes making Shayla hold her lips in fear.
