"You have been going for several training sessions for a very long time, Ava, and I still don't understand why a girl like you needs so much training, especially those sword fights you involve yourself in, all in the name of training," my mother complains. I let out a sigh, used to hearing her objections. "You know very well, mother. I need to find a job to help support our household, but I also feel this strong urge to train myself and become stronger. It's not just for me, but for my future as well." She shakes her head disapprovingly. "You don't need that, Ava. What you need is to find a man who is strong enough to protect you." "But mother, I can protect myself. Why should I rely on a man to do the job for me? Why do mothers think that their daughters are weak creatures who always need a man's protection?" I grab an apple and take a bite. "And please, stop worrying about me. I'll find a job tomorrow if that will make you happy and stop you from nagging me." "That's more like it

Ava walked alone to the bus station, looking around as she took a seat. The surroundings were still and dark, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy about staying so late in that mansion. Boredom got the best of her, and she decided to take a peek at the rule book she had been given. Pulling it out, she stared at it intently. "He sure does value accuracy, doesn't he? It's almost like going to school, but instead, it's a cleaning school. Quite the interesting job," Ava mused to herself. Opening the book, she began to read the first rule. "Always arrive at six, or else two hundred thousand dollars will be deducted from your seven hundred dollar salary." Ava's eyes widened, shock evident on her face. "I'll be getting paid seven hundred dollars just to clean his house? This is incredible! In three months, I'll have a total of two point one million dollars, more than enough for my schooling and my brother's as well." Ava smiled at the thought. "Who knows? Maybe I'll work here for a whole

"You need to stop crying, Ava. The master scolded everyone," Lady Martha murmured, still searching for the perfect skirt for me. It seemed like my attempt to reassure myself failed, as I continued to cry. "I know, Lady Martha, but what if I lose half of my salary? That's why I'm crying. Mother was so happy when she heard how much I would be earning by the end of the month." I couldn't understand why, but I couldn't stop myself from crying. Perhaps it was because nobody had ever spoken to me like that before. If it weren't for the situation at home, I wouldn't be here as a maid. I would be in school with my friends. But look at me now. If only father hadn't passed away... life can be so cruel. "But the master did say he pardoned you, right?" Nodding, Lady Martha smiled warmly. "Don't worry about that, then. Your money is safe and secure," she promised. "But you know, Lady Martha, the master shouldn't have raised his voice at me." Lady Martha stopped what she was doing and focused h

As I watched the wolves devour the last piece of flesh, a mixture of disgust and hunger overwhelmed me. "You love it, don't you," I mumbled to myself, taking a step back and leaning against the wall to catch my breath. The task of feeding these wild animals had taken me hours, and now I felt famished. It was ironic that I had just vomited the little breakfast I managed to eat this morning, only to now find myself craving a proper meal. These creatures, given a chance, could easily kill and consume me alive."Hey there!" The blond maid I had met earlier called out, waving her hands to get my attention. "If you're done with your work, lunch is being served in the servants' dining hall," she informed me with a warm smile."I'll be right there!" I replied, grateful for the invitation. Determined to prioritize my well-being, I made a mental note to quickly clean the master's room after I had eaten. Hopefully, he wouldn't return anytime soon."I'm Ava, by the way," I introduced myself."You

As soon as Ava finished her work, she let out a tired sigh, feeling the exhaustion creep over her. "I'm leaving, master," she whispered weakly. She realized that it was late now and she would have to walk home."Come," Damon muttered, but she remained standing where she was, momentarily forgetting that he hated having to repeat himself. When he turned around and prepared to scold or shout at her, she hurriedly stepped towards him."M-Master?" she called.Standing just an inch away from him, she swallowed nervously, bracing herself for whatever was to come. "You did a really good job, Ava," he said, his fingers moving to the necklace she wore around her neck. "And you've been a good girl." Looking up at him, she felt an odd mix of emotions. The fact that he referred to her as a "good girl" felt strange, yet somewhat pleasing. "I didn't punish you because you told me the truth, but if it happens again, I will give you a spanking.""A spanking?" The words slipped out before she could stop

Alex released his hand from her mouth as soon as she promised not to scream. "How did you get into my room? How the heck did you even know where I live?" she whispered angrily."Sorry," I said, running my hands through my hair. I moved backward and sat on her bed, never averting my gaze from her. I watched as she dropped her bag. She still looked beautiful, just as before, but now she had brown hair and brown eyes. God, I had missed her so much."What do you want from me, Alex?" she asked, rolling her hair up into a messy bun."I just want to get to know you better," I replied with a smile. She shot me a confused look. "I know you don't know me and probably don't have any feelings for me, but I want that to change. I want us to get to know each other.""Like friends?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.I laughed and stood up. "Not friends, Ava. I want to be more than a friend to you. I want to take care of you, to love you." I moved closer to her, whispering the last part. "Marry you.""

Ava remained still, her thoughts consumed by who would attend her funeral. Her mother and brother would be devastated. I hadn't even received my salary before I died, and it was only my second day here.Why did I always end up in so much trouble? It sickened and annoyed me. "Ava," he finally said something, commanding me to lift my head. I obeyed and watched as he tilted his head to the left. "Get back to work!" he growled. Everyone turned their gaze away and continued with their tasks."Master, I...""Shh," he interrupted. He wasn't smiling or frowning. How was I supposed to know what was going on in that thick head of his? I thought he was leaving, so why did he turn back? "I will continue this little chat later. I have something more important to attend to," he said before mumbling something under his breath. "After cleaning my room, I want you to kneel and wait until I return. If you even think of disobeying me, I will know." And with that, he left.Watching him walk away, I practi

Ava rushed home for two reasons: a date and something she couldn't quite figure out. The question was nagging at her. Why was she so anxious about this date? Feeling a mix of enthusiasm, joy, excitement, and confusion, all for one guy—Alex.Does that mean I like him?We've only talked once, so how is that even possible?Maybe it's those captivating red eyes of his, the charm that draws women close to him. "Mother," I mumbled as I dropped my bag in the living room and headed to the kitchen, kissing her cheek. "I'm home.""How was work today?" she asked, still chopping onions."It was awesome, just like always," I replied, unable to share the fact that I was spanked. "You didn't go to work today?" I asked, noticing her shake her head."You see, my child," she smiled, pulling a chair out and sitting down. "I got fired. The boss wanted to spend the night with me, but I couldn't bring myself to do it." I watched as my mother explained the situation. "And now I'm feeling like I made the wron
