Embrace Of The Lucifer novel Chapter 37

It didn’t take long before Lucifer got back home. It was the first time he used his official car to return to his house. The drivers and the guards who are mostly around him were surprised, this was the first time they saw Lucifer arrive in a different vehicle. But, of course, no one would dare to question or gossip about it. Lucifer got out of the car, shutting the door behind him. His feature was firm and sharp; he still had his cold face on; his eyes were reddened with anger. But he did not want to lose his temper yet. He had to be patient.

Getting inside his house, he was instantly greeted by the maids and Ela, who seemed a little disturbed. Lucifer calmly walked past the maids and made his way upstairs.

“Bring me my drink, Ela”, he ordered and proceeded towards his room.

Ela nodded and replied, “Yes, Master.”

Lucifer hated slow and clumsy people so Ela made sure she was in his room on time. She placed the tray of the wine bottle and glass on the table. She poured the drink into the glass and handed it to him. Her hands were visibly shaken.

“Master, your drink”, she said.

Lucifer stared at the glass for a few seconds before violently throwing it away. The glass shattered against the wooden closet into tiny shards of crystal which glittered on the marble floor.

Ela was startled at his unanticipated eruption. Her head was down. She did not dare to look up at him. She could feel his viciously red eyes staring right at her, it was intimidating her even more. Her body was shivering and she started to breathe rapidly.

“What had I asked you to do?” he asked in his slow, pugnacious voice which resonated his anger.

Ela could not answer. Her mouth felt dry. She couldn’t speak up.

Her silence only served to increase his anger.

“Answer me, goddamn it! What Did I Ask You To Do?!” he yelled at her. She flinched back.

“I did not know the girls would be home so late master. If I had known that that would happen, they would not have been able to step a foot outside.” He clenched his fists.

“If you had known?” he mocked.

“You know what you were hired to do here, don’t you Ela?” He questioned with a straight face. His tone was enough to make Ela go numb from head to toe.

“Yes Master, I do know my job here, my job is to serve you, Master,” Lucifer smirked. “That is good. But you do know that you’ve got many more responsibilities to fulfill.” Ela’s head was down, she nodded in affirmation.

“If something like that ever happens again...” He went a little closer to Ela and murmured,

“Just know that you will be seeing your worst nightmare which you won’t have the luxury to wake up from.”

“I-I will not let you down again master. The girls will be under control, under your control”, she stated with a voice that pulled up her lowered confidence.

“That is what I expect”, he said and got up from his seat.

“Excuse the girls today after dinner”, he commanded.

“Yes, Master.” Lucifer excused Ela and walked to the balcony. From here, he had a good view of the garden of his house.

He was taking sips after sips of the wine until he had finished up the whole bottle. He glanced at the clock.

8:15 P.M. Ela had come before to inform him that dinner was ready but he had refused. All the maids were done with their dinner and were in their rooms, resting after the day’s work.

Lucifer put the glass down on the table and walked out of his room.

Meanwhile, August came into her room and sat on her bed. She did not have to work much tonight, as their Master refused to have dinner; they didn’t have to make any extra meals. But, she was tired. The day seemed longer than ever before. She yawned; her eyes felt heavy; they landed on the donut packet that was on the table.

Oh my, I forgot about it!

She opened up the packet and took out the little box. After opening it, she saw that the chocolate had already molten. She felt bad, Alexa had bought that for her and she did not even eat it. She sighed and put the box back on the table.

All of a sudden, she heard her bedroom door open with a loud thud. She flinched and looked there and found none other but Lucifer standing with his hands in his pockets.

She stood up and stepped back immediately; she knew why he was there. She knew it would happen. She knew he would be there sooner or later.

He slowly and menacingly walked towards her that only made her step back till her back touched the wall.

Lucifer was so close to August now that it suffocated her and triggered her claustrophobia. He started to caress August’s warm and rosy cheeks. His palm firmly rested on the wall as his bloodshot, cold eyes were staring right into August’s. Her mind told her to push him and run away, but she was standing stiff, just how Lucifer wanted her to be.

“You look scared”, he mocked her. She was offended by the absurd remark. How could he say that?

She tried her best to show him that she was not scared.

“I-I’m not!” she cried out. She did not want to look scared and weak anymore.

His hand cracked across her face, snapping it back with the force of his blow and causing her head to reel fiercely. Her eyes looked back at his, she was white as chalk. Her eyes and mouth were frozen and wide open in an explicit expression of stunned surprise. She could not comprehend what had just happened.

Lucifer grabbed both of her arms tightly and pulled her close to him causing her to squeal and thrash.

“Stop moving!” he shouted.
