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
Athena"Tin, I'm home!!! I heard Tyron holler but stopped when he saw Zachary. Jason and Alex are behind him."Zachary," Alex said, which caused the devil's eyes to move away from me. He took a deep breath and left the kitchen. I sighed in relief and went to my brother and patted his back. Go wash up. Dinner will be ready in thirty minutes.""Did he scold you again?""No, he just asked me to cook dinner. Now go and wash up.""Okay." He said and went up the stairs. I resumed cooking, and after cooking, I set the table and placed the food on the table."Tin, do you need any help?" Tyron asked, fresh from the shower. "Tell them the food is ready," I replied while mixing an orange juice. Tyron went out of the kitchen, and after a few minutes, he came back with the three men behind him.I poured orange juice into their glasses but was startled when the devil smacked his fist on the table."I told you just to serve me. Right?" I took a deep breath and picked up the three glasses of juice an
AthenaI looked at Zachary, still unconscious, with Jason wrapping a bandage on his forehead. I don't know that he suffered a lot." I murmured, now feeling pity for the devil."Alex, can you help me bring him to his room?" Jason asked. Alex quickly stood up, and they carried Zachary into his room."Tin.""I think we'll stay," I whispered. "I think so too. Sir Zachary is pitiful. Now I understand why he was like that.""Go to your room and rest." He nodded and went to his room while I followed Alex and Jason. "Athena, thank you," Jason said when he saw me step inside."I'll try to have more patience starting tonight.""Thank you. Just follow what he says, and don't provoke him. He wouldn't ask you to do things that could harm you. He loves to annoy you because he wants your attention. This guy is just an attention seeker when it comes to the person he likes and his loved one. Even with us, when he saw that we ignored him and all our attention to others, he would do everything to get o
Athena"The Doctor is here." He replied, still smiling. Sigh, if only he is always like this. I'm sure everyone will love this guy, but sadly because of his illness, people despise him as I did until last night. Right now, I feel pity for him and want to comfort him. After hearing his childhood story, I understand why he was very cautious with the people around him.The Doctor applied an ointment and bandaged my hand with the devil watching him cautiously as if the Doctor would do something to me.After the Doctor tended my burned hand, Zachary asked Jason to order food for all of us because I couldn't use my one hand for now. Jason ordered pizza and some fries while Alex played a movie, and after thirty minutes, our food arrived, and Jason brought it to the living room.Tyron puts a slice of pizza and fries on the paper plate and gives it to me, but the devil quickly snatches it from my brother's hold, picks up the pizza, and feeds me."I can eat alone." I awkwardly said and tried to
ATHENA After eating dinner, Zachary frantically dragged me upstairs into my room. What does this devil want this time? I thought as I watched him go to my closet. He took my pajama, and I blushed and quickly rushed to him and snatched my underwear from his hand."You just cannot touch a woman's underwear," I said, hiding it behind me. He chuckled, raising his eyebrow at me. "Why not? I'm the one who bought it?""Still, you cannot," I said and shoved it back in my drawers. "Why are you taking out my clothes anyway?""You need to wash up so that I can change the bandage of your hand. Now wash. I'll wait for you here." This guy really has a mood like the weather. Earlier, before I went to sleep, he was so serious, and when we were eating dinner, he kept snarling like a dog. Now, he all smiles like he got his favorite toy. Sigh, I'll be crazy if this man is always my company. I could not get what was running in his mind.I went inside the bathroom, carried my clothes, and washed up. It w
