Embrace Of The Lucifer

Chapter 21

The Knights were at the dining table, everyone was sitting on their situated seats. Mr & Mrs. Knight Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

were talking with each other about something, Hazel and Nathan were busy with their phones. And

Lucifer...his eyes were as always looking for that one girl. His father didn't know about his

announcement yet. He wouldn't be happy and Lucifer knew that. But, he could care less about his

father's bullshit lecture.

Few minutes passed like that and the maids started to show up with different food trays in their hands.

He didn't even glance at a single maid, his eyes were aching to see her. He never cared that he might

be a little too harsh on her. He would get what he wanted. And he only wanted her that time. However,

the atrocious ploy would break her...but, that was what he wanted. He wanted to break her until she

would give up. He wanted to break her into that condition where she would have no one beside her

except for him.

He was unaware that his wicked smile was seen by August from the corner of the kitchen. She gulped

thinking what he might be thinking about. She was aware of how dangerous that man could be. But,

she wasn't aware of how vile his plan was.

"Hey August, can you take this tray outside? I am carrying another one." Marie said. She nodded her

head and picked up the tray and went outside to face her fate.

There she is! Said the devil in his mind as she walked in, she was looking gorgeous. Her hair was

pulled in a loose braid. Her eyes were glued to the ground, not meeting anyone's sight. Small strands

of her hair persistently coming on her face. She put her front ears behind her ear and served lunch to

everyone.

Lucifer held the glass of wine and brought it to his mouth, taking small sips, his eyes were still on

August, watching her every step. She knew he was watching her but, no matter how much she wanted

to leave from there, she couldn't. It was her job to serve food to everyone.

"Please serve me the salad." Mrs. Knight said. She nodded her head and cautiously served the salad

on her plate. She thought that was her chance to ask Mrs. Knight if she could talk to her.

"M-Ma'am, can I-I talk to you after lunch for a minute?" Her soft voice asked. His heart danced in

excitement when he heard her. He glanced at her, her cheeks were flushed and as always her eyes

never met with anyone.

"Sure honey." Hearing Mrs. Knight's answer, she looked up and smiled warmly at her before walking

away from the dining table. He wanted to see those green eyes again and her beautiful smile that

never failed to melt his heart.

But, at the same time, he was wondering what she wanted to talk about with his mother. He guessed

that she might want to convince her mom so that she wouldn't have to leave his father's house. He

smirked at the thought. Nice try little kitty. But you have to know that nothing will help. My decision is

irrevocable.

The Knights' lunch was over and the maids were cleaning the table along with August. Mrs. Knight told

August to meet her in her room. She put the dirty plates in the sink and went out of the kitchen. She

was very nervous, she hoped that luck would be beside her that time.

She sighed as she knocked on the door of Mrs. Knight's room. "Come in." Said, Mrs. Knight.

She got inside and immediately bowed her head. "Oh, August!" She put the cup of tea on the table.

"You wanted to talk about something?" August nodded her head and replied.

"Yes ma'am."

"Okay. Is it about my son?" She asked looking at her. August nodded her head again sadly. Mrs. Knight

sighed and approached her, put her hand on August's shoulder.

"Look honey, I know you are not happy with the decision and my son announced it all of a

sudden...without any sign so, it was surprising for me too. And I also know why you want to live here,

you made friends and I can see Martha treats you better than other maids here, I noticed you are a

very nice girl. But, don't worry honey okay? Maybe you will like these too." She smiled softly at August

that almost melted her heart. She couldn't stop herself from returning the smile too and nodded her

head.

"And if you don't like it there you can anytime quit the job and come back to my house or look for

another job. No one will stop you."

She shook her head yes. Mrs. Knight let go of her shoulder and her face beamed. She is truly a nice

woman.

She returned the smile and departed the room. She was relieved. She thought at least she could easily

leave the job and go far away from Lucifer. But, oh how wrong she was...

Lucifer was just standing a bit far away from his mother's bedroom and unfortunately, he heard

everything. He clenched his fist and took a long stride towards her when she saw her walking away. He

wrapped his hand around her neck and muffled her screams with his other hand.

August was dumbfounded by his sudden outburst. She was aware of who that person could be but, she

was silently praying it was not him. She was struggling to free herself from his strong tight grip. She

scratched his arms, thinking it might help. But, instead, it made Lucifer madder, he squeezed his neck.

Her eyes went big at the pressure he was putting on her neck. And within few moments, he pulled her

away from there and got inside his bedroom.

August was more petrified when Lucifer pushed her on the wall with his hand still muffling her cries and

screams.

"Shut the fuck up!" He yelled. She whimpered but didn't stop trying to escape from him. She tried to

knee him down there but Lucifer was way too fast than her. He pushed her back more and struck her

on her face. It immediately shut her mouth, few drops of blood were flowing down from the corner of

her lips. She winced when her hand touched the wound.

He gripped her chin and pulled her close to him. "You really think you can leave the job? Leave my

house?" He laughed. Her body was shivering in fear.

He leaned to her, looking at her with his evil eyes. "No my kitten, you cannot escape, you cannot leave

the job unless I tell you to, and that's never going to happen because I will never ever let you leave."

He said in his low minacious voice.

She was panting heavily. It was enough for her, she could not just bear everything and say nothing.

She swallowed her fear and whispered. "I-I can d-do whatever I want! I am m-my own person, n-no one

can control me."

He looked at her with mirth, he left her and took few steps back. Taking out his phone, he went to the

video option and played the video in front of her.

What August saw, shook her to death. It was the video of Caroline, sitting on the couch and watching

TV. She immediately approached him and took the phone from his hand. Her hands were trembling.

She looked at him with shock written on her face.

"H-How did you g-get this video?" He stayed silent for few seconds. "I had my men out hidden cameras

in your house." She cried more.

He snatched the phone from her hand. "Now now princess, you are aware of my capability. You are

aware of what else I can do. Today I'm showing you the normal video of your aunt, enjoying her alone

time. Just imagine...tomorrow it might be a video of your aunt tied to the chair and my men holding her

captive and...."

"No! No please don't harm her master please she is innocent she didn't do anything. Please let her go."

She pleaded, holding his hands unknowingly. Lucifer felt a tingling sensation in his heart at the touch of

her. But, he didn't let her see how much she was affecting him.

He took her hand on his and kissed her knuckles before letting it go. "You know princess what I want. If

you ever try to leave the job...you know what will happen." He said and turned around to leave the

room. But stopped, remembering something.

He cupped her cheeks and kissed the bruise on the corner of her lips. She didn't dare move or try

anything as she was afraid that he would hurt Caroline.

"Your birthday is in 4 days, take this as your birthday present." He whispered and left the room, leaving

her all broken.
