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
ATHENAAfter more or less ten minutes of standing, our professor finally came. He went straight to the elevated platform without noticing me."Good morning." He greeted his student, and his eyes quickly darted at me, and it widened."Miss Park, what are you doing there? Come, you sit here." He said, pointing to the seat in the front row where I sat earlier."They said someone was already occupying that seat, sir.""Don't believe them. Come sit here.""Thank you, sir." He quickly started the class by checking the attendance. The whole lesson, I could see the murderous stares of some of my female classmates, but I ignored them until the class ended.I went to my next class, and I'm glad it was not far away from my first class, with only two rooms in between. I went inside, and I was happy no one was paying attention to me. The students are busy with what they are doing. I settled in the vacant seat in the second row, and I smiled inside when no one said something about it."Thank god. Th
Athena"Athena, finally you came." I jumped in fright. I didn't notice Jason at the door of his office watching. He chuckled at my reaction and motioned me to come closer."You scared me," I said, glaring at him. What is happening inside the devil's office? Why did he ask me to come? I have homework to do.""He is screaming at his planning managers because they don't finish their work on time, and he doesn't want them to go home until they finish it.""And me, what will I do here?""I don't know. I don't even know why he wants you to come here. Wait, I will ring him that you have already arrived.""No, I'll just wait until he finishes scolding the people inside.""Nah! I don't want to be scolded as well for not informing him of your arrival. Don't worry, he will scream at you, but I'm sure he won't hurt you. That guy loves to scream every time he is mad." Jason said, chuckling, and went to his desk and picked up the intercom while I stood there nervously."Why did I meet this devil? I
ZacharyI slumped on the seat, mentally beating myself. What have I done? Why did I do it? You went too far, Zachary."Boss, what happened?" Jason burst into my door, and his eyes widened to see my face. "What the hell, Zach? What did you do?" He asked. I could feel the blood rolling down my neck and face where she scratched me, and I knew the big bruise was now visible on my right cheek where she punched me. I'm thankful she did because if she didn't, I might rape her here in my office. "I lost control, I... I... I almost rape her." I stuttered, and my hand trembled. "I didn't mean to. I didn't want to. I didn't plan to. It's just I don't know. I....I..."Calm down. Where's your pill? "I leave it at home. I didn't drink it for three days. I could control and handle my temper without it because I always did whenever she was around but I....I...I didn't mean to hurt her. I didn't, Jason."I know. Calm down. Your whole body is trembling. "I want her back. I want her back. Please brin
