Who would have guessed that she would be sitting with her own boss’s father? Jane had heard plenty of things about how the man in front of her was crueler than he appeared. Many servants whispered of his cold-hearted nature whenever his name surfaced, lowering their voices as though he might somehow hear them from afar.

    Who would have guessed that she would be sitting with her own boss’s father? Jane had heard plenty of things about how the man in front of her was crueler than he appeared. Many servants whispered of his cold-hearted nature whenever his name surfaced, lowering their voices as though he might somehow hear them from afar. Added to that was the story she had once listened to regarding him and his late wife, of how deeply and obsessively he had loved her until it bordered on madness. Ever since hearing it, she couldn’t help but feel as if she were standing before someone whose most private secret she had accidentally overheard.The weight of that realization made the room feel far smaller than it actually was.Feeling awkward, Jane stood while her hands wound behind her back, fidgeting every couple of seconds. Her fingers twisted together before separating again, only to repeat the same anxious motion. She was holding herself back from speaking as there hadn’t been a single word from the

    Seeing blood instead of tears flowing from a vampire's eyes left Jane in shock. She had always wondered whether a vampire could ever cry. Ever since learning of their existence, they had always seemed like creatures incapable of shedding tears, as though sadness never manifested the same way it did for humans. Yet somehow, it seemed they could cry after all. Not with ordinary tears though, but with thick crimson blood that slowly streaked down their cheeks. Somehow, the sight looked even more heartbreaking than actual tears, making it difficult for her to look away.Stacey was sobbing, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably as blood continued to roll down her pale face. Clearly, her mental state hadn't been good from the very beginning, and hearing Victor's relentless words that continued pushing her closer and closer to the edge had finally broken the last remaining strength she had been desperately holding onto. Whatever resolve she once possessed had completely crumbled, leaving be

    Hades and Morningstar immediately burst into a fight. The moment their fists collided, the cave exploded into chaos. A deafening boom echoed throughout the mountain as the force behind their clash shattered the walls around them. Great cracks raced across the stone ceiling like lightning before enormous chunks of rock broke loose and crashed to the ground. Dust erupted into the air, swallowing everything in a thick gray haze while the earth beneath their feet shook violently, as though the mountain itself had begun to collapse under the weight of their strength. Every exchange between them sent another violent shockwave through the cave, pulverizing pillars that had stood for centuries and reducing them to nothing more than rubble. The walls caved inward one after another, enormous boulders crashing down with enough force to leave craters in the ground, while the lake nearby surged into towering waves that slammed against the cavern's edges. It no longer looked like two people were fi

    Getting far away from the dining hall, Jane only felt relieved when she was far enough from the place. The girls were always akin to hyenas when it came to showing their anger and she knew this better than everyone else, especially since she had been in so many manors before to tell that maids always treated their work as if it's their life and they would do anything, even murder, when they couldn't get to their goal.Perhaps because servants had so little in life, the only thing they could truly cling onto was the place they had earned for themselves inside a manor. Losing the master's favor often meant losing everything they had worked for, and because of that they would fight tooth and nail against anyone who threatened to take that place away from them. Jealousy, resentment and ambition were things Jane had seen countless times no matter which household she stayed in.It reminded her somehow of that one maid who had killed the mistress of the house so their master would fall for t

    The haughty Oliver scoffed openly at Victor's words while the rest of the room fell into a suffocating silence. Even the servants standing by the walls lowered their heads, too afraid to breathe too loudly after hearing the tone Victor had used.Only Oliver, however, seemed delighted by it.He stepped forward lazily, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other brushed dust from his sleeve as though Victor's warning had been beneath him. Then, as if he had suddenly remembered the funniest joke in the world, he let out a sharp laugh that cracked through the silence."Who am I?" Oliver repeated mockingly. "I'm certainly not some defective creature like you."A few faces in the crowd paled immediately."But perhaps no one told you yet," Oliver continued with a grin, pacing slowly around the table like a wolf circling prey. "This house does not belong to you. And even if it is, do you think you are someone with such a high position that you could force anyone into your bidding?" He cli

    Jane stared deep into Annie’s eyes and the latter’s anger slowly faded away the longer she stared into them. Though Jane didn’t know how she looked right now to others, the truth was her gaze had deepened so much that Annie’s anger turned into fear.It happened so gradually that Annie herself couldn’t tell the exact moment everything changed. One second she was glaring at Jane with open hostility, ready to throw another insult, and the next her own breathing had become uneven.Something was strange about Jane’s gaze and that was something Annie couldn’t figure out at first. The way those eyes darkened, the way those facial expressions turned dull, it’s as if the person before her was no longer a human, rather an unnatural creature pretending to be one.There was no hatred in those eyes.No anger.No annoyance.That was what terrified Annie the most.It was the complete absence of emotion, as though she was looking into something ancient that simply observed her existence without judgm

    “Where are you?”The sound of thunder shook Jane’s trembling body even worse. She was already cold from the rain soaking through her clothes, dripping down her skin, and that gentle voice made it worse. Like a snake's, his voice slithered through the air, coaxing, as if he was simply trying to lure

    Jane rushed to the top of the staircase, her black loafers making a dull sound as she huffed, finally reaching the highest floor which took more time than she thought it would. A part of her even regretted looking too amazed at the mansion. What will that blind man do to her if she's late? Jane g

    Day or night, Jane couldn't tell anymore. All she know was that she had been moved from one place to another. Sometimes alone in a carriage or with so many people in a room. For some reason, her eyes were kept tied with the cloth with no one ever letting her open her eyes at all. But for now, she s

    "Once you're done over here, go do the rest of the laundry from the East Wing."The old bigger callously pushed the mono glass from his left eyes in place and stared at the paper board in front of him as he demanded his task towards Jane.Jane didn't feel small with the obvious condescending attitu
