Chapter 4

In the huge fancy lounge, a dangerous aura could be felt in the air as a tall figure seated on one of the sofas with his legs crossed like the king of the world. His expression was as emotionless, thick, and dark as nightfall, but that couldn't deny the fact, that his appearance was beyond imagination. He was wearing a black tailored suit, which perfectly showed his faultless body shape. He was a complete definition of the Greek god, his sparkling blue eyes, perfect long nose, long eyelashes, and reddish-pink lips. 

A man, any woman could kill to have. Despite his irresistible and charming looks, he was a tycoon's boss. 

 Nicklaus was looking at his phone screen, scrolling through some email messages. The room was as quiet as a desert because there was no one expecting him. 

“So? How were you with her?“ 

A man suddenly uttered behind him, breaking the impending silence in the room. 

A little smirk left his lips as his mind dived back to last night's scene. He can't say it was bad, but it was the best he had ever had with any woman. The girl was not only pure and innocent, but also sweet as a strawberry on an ice cake. 

“Sweet, I guess,” he said, sternly to wipe the sweet expression from his face before the man saw it, but it was too late.

“pfff! Hahaha!“ the man couldn't help but laugh. He was amazed at his words, but he had already seen the flattered face before it was replaced by his coldness. 

He walked closer to him and took a seat beside him. He was a good-looking man, handsome. A man, any woman would like to have. He was hot but not too hot to compare to the devil's looks sitting beside him. 

“You know you're worse for lying? Gosh! You need to go to class for that” Devin said, and rested his head back on the chair and closed his eyes. After a busy night of business, he deserved some rest. 

“There's something strange about this girl,” his deep husky voice said. Trying to figure out who this girl meant to Mr. Thomas. 

He remembers when Mr. Thomas was weeping and begging for mercy like a pitiful child, crying for his father's forgiveness. 

Is the girl his daughter? Because he senses there is something amiss here. 

“Huh?“ Devin replied, opening his eyes to look at the charming devil beside him.

“What strange? That you slept with her and enjoy her well?“ Devin asked, mockingly. 

But he quickly shut up his mouth when he noticed the serious look on his face. 

“I meant what about her?“ He added quickly to clear the intimidating air.  

“I think Mr. Thomas played me again,” he said, calmly and emotionless. 

“You mean that man that couldn't even sit well? How can he cheat you again?“ Devin asks, not putting interest in the conversation. He knows Mr. Thomas was a weak man that couldn't stand on his own. So, there's nothing to waste time on an already dead man. If he appears to be a problem, one of his little boys can handle him.

“I want you to find out who that girl meant to him. If truly she's his biological daughter” 

“Jazz, can't I rest a day without blood on my arms!“ Devin complained, but when he felt his intimidating gaze from him. He changed his words. 

“Alright, I will do just that, but that doesn't mean I will have to do it again. But, why are you so concerned about whether the girl is his biological daughter or not?“ Devin asked. Because it was strange the devil bothered himself about something not too necessary. If the girl was Mr. Thomas's daughter or not, he shouldn't bother because, from the way he saw it, the devil enjoyed the night with a girl! 

“Because I need to know! Now get off your lazy ass. We have work to do!“

Lilly was dressed in a new outfit with the help of the maid, who brought the clothes in. She just didn't understand the sudden care this strange man was showering her with. 

But certainly, she never wanted to stay there any longer. Done with the dressing, she looked for her purse and headed towards the door. 

“Young miss!“ The maid called and stopped her on her track. Where didn't she think she was going without having her breakfast? The maid thought. 

Lilly turned, and asked, “ What? “ 

“You haven't taken your breakfast yet. It would be cold if you didn't have it now before leaving. “

“sorry. I'm not hungry”, Lilly replied, and faced the door again. She wants to leave as soon as possible. The deal was already done and there's no time to mess around? 

Besides, she needed to meet her family and confirm with them if the unknown man had kept to his words. 

“But you have to” the maid insisted. 

Lilly turned again and glanced at the maid. She was looking pale and scared. But what is the big deal about her not eating and also why is the maid more consistent with her eating? 

Lilly tried to figure it out but she couldn't just ignore the terrifying looks on the maid's face. With that, she decided to have breakfast. Besides, it is just a simple breakfast and it wouldn't harm if she just took a little bite. 

Then, she can finally get the hell out of this place for good! 

She walked back and sat on the bed closer to the table where the food tray was laid. 

When the maid saw Lilly sitting, she smiled happily that her work was almost done. Quickly, she reached out the plates of every food she served. 

There was french toast, boiled eggs, avocado toast, oatmeal, coffee, cereal, and hot spicy chicken soup. And besides these, there are also packs of tablets lying on plates. 

Lilly stared at the face of the maid and went back to the food. What the hell of a food combination is this?

“Did your master instruct you to feed me all these?“ Lilly asks, blinking her eyes at the maid. 

The young maid nods and smiles at her.

This man must be sick! Lilly picked up the tablets and read the names written on them, but she didn't know what they were for. Curiosity, she asks. 

“What are these for?“ 

The maid looks at her hands and says politely“they're for healing the pains in the vagina.”

Lilly choked at her saliva,. Suddenly, the maid passed her a glass of water. 

 “You should be more careful, you'd not want to. Your young master will be angry if anything happens to you”, the maid warned in a shuddering voice. 

Lilly gulped a few drops into her mouth to calm down her burning heat. She couldn't that bastard have the guts to buy her a vagina pain reducer when he was the one who almost destroyed it last night! 

“I'm alright,” Lilly said and handed the glass back to the maid, who dropped it on the food tray. 

“Now that you're okay, can you eat your breakfast please?“ The maid asked, twisting her eyes to convince the girl to eat. 

Lilly sighed frustratingly and grabbed a spoon before dipping it in. 

“This place is sick and also the people that live in it!“ She muttered angrily to herself.
