I groaned in pain when I opened my eyes, only to close them again because of the bright sunlight peeking at the window. My head feels heavy, and it seems like a sledgehammer is founding it, not only my head but my body as if I carried a heavy thing last night. I forced my eyes to open again, and after a few seconds, my eyes adjusted to the bright room where I was, only to bolt up but fall back on the bed. My body feels so weak."Where am I? And what happened last night replayed in my mind. I quickly look under the cover that covers my body. I have clothes but aren't the clothes that I wore last night. My eyes quickly brimmed with tears. That Carlos guy, did he rape me? A sob left my lips, and my eyes roamed the room where I was. It was big, bigger than my whole apartment, and the bed where I lay was a king-size bed with a silk cover. I struggled to stand up now, crying. I need to leave this place, Tyron. I'm sure he is now worried about where I am."That Carlos guy. He drugged my dr
ZacharyI went into my room with a grin plastered on my lips. I always win. I always got what I wanted, and Athena, you are where I want you to be. I whistled and went inside the bathroom, and took a bath. After bathing, I wrapped a towel around my waist and went out of the bathroom, and Alex was already sitting on the couch waiting for me."Now you got what you want, you brat." He said, and I grinned and took my clothes out of my closet."What are your demands which you want me to write in the contract?" He asked, opening his laptop and putting it on the center table. I smiled and told him everything I wanted; feeling excited about Athena's reaction when she read the contract, I told him everything that Athena would earn by signing the contract."So generous are we? But I'm scared for Athena for whatever you mean of everything you wanted." He commented while typing on his laptop. I smiled and rubbed my hand together. I'm excited to start ordering this woman as soon as she signs this
ZACHARYAfter an hour of waiting for our dinner, Tyron finally told us that dinner was ready. This kid, when I first saw him, was like a tiger ready to jump on his prey, but now I wonder why he looks so nervous. I went to the kitchen, followed by Alex and Jason. I raised my eyebrow when I saw that they set the table beautifully."Dinner is ready, sir," Athena said in her cheerful voice. I wondered why she was suddenly smiling while talking to me. I sit on the head of the table, and Jason occupies the seat on my left while Alex is on my right side.Athena served the food, which looked delicious, bulgogi, sweet and sour pork, beef stew, vegetable salad, and plain rice. After that, she stood up not far away from the table with Tyron beside her fiddling his fingers while Athena, I see the smile on her lips. What did this woman do why she looks so happy?I scoop rice on my plate, sweet and sour pork, bulgogi, and Alex and Jason follow. I scooped a spoonful and brought it to my lips but sto
ATHENA"Athena give me a glass of water." He's been like this since six in the morning when he woke up. Every minute he called me to ask me to do something for him. Today is Saturday, and he was free from the office. I wanted to whack his head because of annoyance. Are all employers like this, with their maids calling them every minute? He even asked me to give him a tissue even though it was only in front of him on the center table. I sigh and go to the kitchen and bring him his water."Here's your water, sir." He took it from me without even saying thank you. I've been living here with my brother for three days, and the first two days are a bit better because he is in the office. He left at eight in the morning and returned at six on the first night, and on the second night, he came back at seven.I thought since he didn't have work today, he was going to wake up a bit late, hoping I was going to have more hours of sleep, but I was wrong. Six in the morning, earlier than the previou
ATHENAAfter fifteen minutes of driving, we arrived in front of the biggest mall in Seoul. The bodyguard quickly opened the door, and he went out, and I followed."Walked beside me, Athena." He hissed when I followed behind him like a dog. I quickly jog beside him and go wherever he goes, with the two bodyguards following not far away from us. He went to a Chanel shop and browsed the different perfumes, took two, one for men and one for women, then went to the cashier and paid it. He handed me the bag, and I quietly took it.Next, he went to the jewelry shop, bought a set of teardrop earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet, and I just quietly watched, seeing how expensive the jewelry He handed me the bag again, and I walked beside him as he walked out of the store.But I almost fell when someone rushed in between us and pushed me aside; luckily, I gained my balance instantly. "Zachary, what are you doing here?" A beautiful woman said. I stepped back and wanted myself to be invisible in
"Hello dear!" I jumped in fright when someone spoke behind me. I quickly turned around and found a woman in her late forties holding a vacuum, smiling at me."Sorry, did I startle you?""Just a bit," I replied, holding my pounding chest."I'm Helena. I'm the one who cleans the place two times a week.""I'm Athena. I'm their helper." "Oh!! She said, smiling. "Are you already here when they left? I oversleep. My alarm someone turned it off."Ah, yes. Sir Zachary asked me last night to come earlier and cook breakfast. They left around seven.""Seven? He said he's going to eat at nine?' I thought. "Dear, if Sir Zachary bullies you, just ignore him because if he sees that you are annoyed with him, he will keep doing it. Just follow what he said, and you were good. I know him because I'm the one who raised him since he was a baby. He is a brat, but if you get his trust, he is kind, and you can depend on him in everything."I wanted to contradict her words, but I held myself. She seems kin
"I don't want to eat anymore." He huffed like a spoiled brat kid. He only ate, I think, three spoons before the woman came."Don't waste food; many don't have food to eat. Be thankful you have some." "If you don't want to waste it. You eat it yourself." He huffed again like a little kid. What's wrong with him? He looks adorable, anyway. Where did it come from, Athena? I scolded myself and tried to remove that thought from my mind."I'm already full. If I eat more, I might throw up. You eat it. You only eat three spoonfuls." I frowned when he grinned. Is he bipolar? "Feed me." He said, smiling. That toothy grin showed his fairly white teeth."You are not disabled." I scoffed."Then throw it." He hissed like an angry cat. The smile on his face suddenly vanished and was replaced with his devil self. He stood up, but I quickly held his wrist."Okay, I'll feed you." He might make me miserable later at home if I don't follow his desires. He settled back on his seat, with his arms spread at
ATHENAToday is my first day of school. I felt nervous because it was already the second semester, and some of the students already knew each other, and one more thing I was worried about, the school was for rich students only while I was a maid.I just tried to convince myself since last night that once someone would try to bully me, I just ignored them. I go to school to learn to earn a diploma to find a good job so that I can leave the devil and nothing more.It's only five in the morning, and my class will start at eight. I wash my face to wake my sleepy self and run downstairs to prepare breakfast. It was already past six when I finished cooking and setting the table. I ran back to my room and went to the bathroom, and took a bath. After bathing, I wrapped a towel around me and wiped my hair with another towel while walking back to my room, but I was startled when I looked up to see the devil sitting on my bed with my clothes beside him."What are you doing here?" I asked, holdi
