Yes, they were rich, but they tried to live moderately and both her parents were too friendly with their business partners and nice to have any enemies. ‘Who could be that heartless?’ she thought. Her parents were confused about the kidnappers. 

“Sorry to inform you of this bad news, miss, but we need your cooperation to help find your sister.” The second officer was the one to speak up this time. Ashley nodded, looking between her parents and the policemen. 

“Ashley, how could you leave your sister like that?” Mrs. Gregory accused, holding her arm tight. 

“She said she’ll sort her ride back home on her own and I should use her car. She’s the one who left me on my own at the party, and I had no other choice but to leave without her.” Ashley tried to defend herself. 

Mrs. Gregory only shook her head and continued crying while mustering some things about why she allowed them to go to that party. 

“Miss?” one officer called, and she directed her attention back to the cops standing in front of her. 

“Dear, just tell them what happened, and don’t listen to your mother. You do not fault this.” Mr. Gregory advised, but Ashley wasn’t listening. 

Her head hasn’t processed everything yet, at the words of her mother. The smiling face of her sister lingered constantly in her eyes, giggling freely, teasing her, making her head heavy to digest the news of her kidnapping.  

She remained silent even after hearing the officers and her father calling her name. After five minutes, she burst out crying like her mother. 

“Mom’s right. I shouldn’t have left her there by herself.” She cried, and Mr. Gregory rushed to embrace his daughter. 

“Don’t blame yourself, dear, your mother is stupid just looking for someone to blame, and she targeted you.” He wiped the tears from her eyes and was about to continue when the sound of an incoming call from the landline made everywhere silent.

Mr. Gregory and the two officers rushed toward the phone but allowed Mr. Gregory to answer the call. 

“Hello?” 

A sinister laugh came from the other end of the line. 

“Involve the police as much as you want, Gregory, but you will not get your daughter back. Trust me. My problem is with you and I won’t rest until you suffer forever crossing me.” Said a voice from the other end. Then the line was cut.

“What did you do?!” Mrs. Gregory yelled. “It is your fault Amelia’s missing.” She was hitting her husband, draining her energy in her cry. She was desperate to see her daughter in front of her. 

Mr. Gregory made a rookie mistake and placed the call on speaker. 

“Will you calm down? I have done nothing to anyone. It must be a mistake, or I did it intentionally.” Mr. Gregory tried to defend himself. 

“Sir, madam.” The officer interrupted. 

“We’ll be needing both of you,” he directed at Mr. Gregory.

“And you miss Ashley coming to the station for some questioning? It won’t belong.”

They lied. The questioning took forever, according to Ashley’s subconscious mind, but even with that, she gave them all the information they needed. She blamed herself for what happened to Amelia and she could do anything for her sister. 

Although Amelia can be a pain in the butt sometimes, especially when there’s a party to attend, Ashley still loved her sister dearly. Amelia’s the only friend she has. She’s her best friend slash's sister. Her introverted nature and lack of leaving her room made her trust people easily. 

‘nothing should happen to Amelia.’ Ashley internally prayed at the time, clutching her hand tight in her lap while answering.  

After her questioning, she waited for Mr. Gregory in his car. The memories kept playing in her head, and she wished she could change everything that happened.

She would have talked Amelia against partying that day or probably not dancing with strangers, but who was she deceiving? Probably herself cause Amelia would never have listened. The teams of rivers were flowing from her eyes, sucking her energy with them, the unbearable guilt caused by her was tearing her apart. 

Just then, her iPhone biped, notifying her of the text message sent to her. It was from an unknown number. She clicked on it to read hurriedly, hoping it was from Amelia. 

{Miss Ashley, I’m aware you’re looking for your missing sister and I’ve decided to help. You might not trust me, but I’ll advise you to do so. Come along to the address I’ll send.}

Seconds later and later, a message was received from the same number. It was an address. It was almost at the corner of the city, the same area her parents were afraid to imagine walking their daughters from its street. 

Ashley was hesitant, but the thoughts of something happening to her sister clouded her better judgment, and decided to honor the mysterious person’s invitation. It mentioned her sister; it was obvious for her to agree without second thoughts and her feeble heart was truculent to believe the police could help them in this matter.

She waited impatiently for her father to come and when he did, she hurried them home and locked herself in her room. She knows what she’s about to do is risky, but she’s going to risk it for her sister. 

‘It was my fault and now I’ve got to fix it.’ she thought. 

She sneaked out of the house through her window. Fortunately for her, her bedroom’s on the first floor of their two-story building apartment making it easier for her to jump from.

She landed gracefully on the hard concrete ground of her feet. She peeped from the wall to make sure the positions of the increased numbers of guards. 

Her parents feared losing their second daughter too, the kidnapper boldly said. It had something to do with revenge, but her father couldn’t remember when and how he harmed someone in any way which caused their highly protected daughter to go through this hell.

    The sun was barely peeking over the horizon when Ashley awoke, her body stiff from the restless sleep.

Demon was outside, sharpening a blade, his expression hard as he prepared for the inevitable confrontation with Adonis.Ashley sat up slowly, her mind still racing with thoughts of what lay ahead. The peace they had found in the small cabin felt fragile, like a thin veil stretched over a storm waiting to break. She knew it was only a matter of time before Adonis found them—and when he did, there would be no turning back.She quietly stepped outside, the crisp morning air biting at her skin. Demon glanced up from his work but said nothing as she approached him. His silence was heavy, but it wasn’t unfriendly. It was the quiet of a man who knew the weight of the fight that lay ahead.“We don’t have much time,” he finally said, his voice low and grave. “Adonis will come for us soon.”A

    The silence that followed Adonis’s departure was thick, weighted with the echoes of the battle that had just transpired. Ashley stood frozen in place, her heart pounding in her chest as she watched the shadows swallow Adonis whole. His dark words lingered in the air, like a storm cloud threatening to return.Amelia lowered the gun slowly, her hands shaking as the adrenaline that had fueled her courage began to fade. She had never held a weapon before, let alone pointed one at a man like Adonis. Her knees buckled slightly, but before she could fall, Ashley rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her sister.“It’s over,” Ashley whispered, her voice thick with emotion. She wanted to believe it, but deep down, she knew Adonis’s words carried a dangerous truth. This wasn’t over, not by a long shot.Amelia buried her face in Ashley’s shoulder, her body trembling from head to toe. “I didn’t know what else to do,” she admitted in a shaky breath. “I couldn’t let him hurt you.”“You did what

  • Master Adonis's Maid   Chapter 99: Fractured Allegiances

    Demon and Adonis clashed like two opposing forces of nature, their bodies moving with deadly precision. Each blow was filled with years of unspoken rage, resentment, and betrayal. The sounds of their fists meeting skin echoed through the forest, and Ashley watched helplessly as her worst fears began to unfold before her eyes.Amelia clung to Ashley’s arm, shaking. "Ashley, we have to do something! They’re going to kill each other!" Her voice trembled, but Ashley’s mind was racing too fast for words. She couldn’t pull her eyes away from the violent whirlwind before her. Every fiber of her being wanted to scream, wanted to run between them and make them stop. But how?Adonis had always been an enigma, a man who dominated the world around him with cruelty, power, and an iron will. But now, seeing him like this—engaged in a primal, bloody fight with the only person he’d ever trusted—shattered something inside Ashley. She had once thought there was more to Adonis, a hidden vulnerability be

  • Master Adonis's Maid   Chapter 98: A Trap of Fate

    Chapter 98: A Trap of FateThe air crackled with tension as Adonis descended the hill, his cold, dark gaze locked on Ashley. There was something terrifying in his calmness, as though he had expected this chase to end here all along. Ashley’s breath hitched, her entire body frozen in place, despite Demon’s command to run. But where would she go? The forest was vast, but Adonis was always a step ahead, always finding her no matter how far she ran. “Move!” Demon growled through gritted teeth, his gun trained on Adonis. His voice snapped Ashley out of her shock. She grabbed Amelia’s hand, pulling her sister behind her as they tried to edge farther down the incline. “Run, Ashley!” Amelia urged, her voice trembling with fear, but it was Demon who answered, his voice low and dangerous. “He won’t stop unless you face him.”Ashley swallowed hard, her heart racing as she glanced back at Adonis. He had paused midway down the hill, his piercing gaze tracking their every movement. His lips curle

  • Master Adonis's Maid   Chapter 97: Shadows of the Past

    The tension in the cabin thickened as the three prepared to leave. The forest outside remained eerily quiet, the early morning light casting long shadows across the trees. The cold air bit at Ashley's skin, but the chill she felt wasn’t just from the temperature. Something felt off. The uneasy silence gnawed at her nerves, every second stretching painfully thin. Amelia had stayed quiet since their conversation, her face a mask of worry. Demon moved with purpose, checking their supplies and ensuring they left no trace behind. He was methodical, calm, but there was a storm brewing behind his dark eyes. Ashley couldn’t shake her sister’s warning from earlier—trust was a fragile thing, and in their world, it could shatter in an instant. She had seen Demon’s loyalty to Adonis firsthand, but she had also seen the cracks in his resolve. He had helped them this far, yet the lingering question remained: would he continue to protect them when faced with the full force of Adonis’s wrath?The c

  • Master Adonis's Maid   Chapter 96: A Bond in Darkness

    The morning light filtered through the cracks in the old cabin’s walls, casting soft shadows on the floor. The air was cool and still, as if the woods themselves were holding their breath, waiting for the next move. Ashley lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts racing. She had barely slept, too haunted by everything that had happened.Next to her, Amelia stirred in her sleep, her face soft and peaceful for the first time in what felt like days. Ashley watched her sister for a moment, a surge of protectiveness welling up inside her. Amelia had been through so much—caught in a whirlwind of violence and betrayal that neither of them had asked for.And then there was the baby. Ashley’s hand instinctively moved to her stomach, her fingers gently pressing against the small swell. The baby was a part of her now, a tiny life growing inside her, a symbol of everything she wanted to protect. But it also tied her to Adonis in a way she couldn’t escape. No matter how far she ran, the con
