“Where are you?”The sound of thunder shook Jane’s trembling body even worse. She was already cold from the rain soaking through her clothes, dripping down her skin, and that gentle voice made it worse. Like a snake's, his voice slithered through the air, coaxing, as if he was simply trying to lure her out from hiding. It sounded beautiful.That was what made it terrifying.Jane quickly covered her mouth before another hiccup could slip out. She pressed her palm harder against her lips, afraid even the smallest sound would give her away.He would find her.“Jane,” he called again, softer this time. “Baby.”Jane cursed inwardly, her fingers tightening against her mouth. In that moment, she began to regret everything. She shouldn’t have come here. She shouldn’t have forgotten what he was capable of. Her mistake wasn’t just stepping into this place, it was letting herself treat him kindly, even for a moment, when so many people had already warned her what kind of man he was.No.Her mist

1-1: Evil Out of Reach

"Once you're done over here, go do the rest of the laundry from the East Wing."The old bigger callously pushed the mono glass from his left eyes in place and stared at the paper board in front of him as he demanded his task towards Jane.Jane didn't feel small with the obvious condescending attitude, instead she nodded, "But Sir Orleans-''"What?" The butler's tone hit her with its curt note."I have worked here for more than three weeks now but I have yet received the paycheck for the laundry I have done the past weeks since I've started."Jane Wright lifted her head. Her brown hair was sleekly combed to the back into a puffy bun and her green eyes shine through despite her humble beginnings.She had hesitated telling butler Orleans about her paycheck, knowing that every employee despise being hurried in their payments. But what could she do? She needed the money, desperately too. Sure enough, Butler Orleans clicked his tongue. He raised his two fingers and immediately tapped her f

1-2: The Monsters in The Attic-I

Day or night, Jane couldn't tell anymore. All she know was that she had been moved from one place to another. Sometimes alone in a carriage or with so many people in a room. For some reason, her eyes were kept tied with the cloth with no one ever letting her open her eyes at all. But for now, she seemed to have been placed in a location where it wasn't moving anymore, walking down from the wagon. She walked briefly, the steps underneath her shoes were smoother than before. There was a voice coming from her sides, "As you know..... agreeable amount was..."The voice that had spoke was somewhat familiar. Not because she had gotten to know the man but before her eyes were completely taken away, she heard those voice coming from one of her kidnappers. Or perhaps... seller. "But to make sure we got the kind of girl you would need, it took us more work than it's supposed to be... so you would understand if we increase the price don't you, Sir?" There was a click of tongue. Evangeline

1-3: The Monsters in The Attic-II

The butler pulled from his pocket a jingling sound of metals. She looked to saw the large circular metal that had keys all around the place, jingling in a different color. He seemed to be a little flustered as he tried to choose from between the keys the one that was by far the brightest streak of red. When the key was pushed inside, Jane expected him to open the door by twisting the key and yet he didn't. He looked at the door again and knocked on it. "Young master." The cold wind answered them.Jane felt her heart thumping loudly across her chest now. She still couldn't figure out why she felt so... disturbed. Was it because the odd pieces of puzzle she kept finding? The fact that this young master was blind, violent, and yet left in a place that was bared from other people? "I will be introducing the new maid that will act as your caretaker." The butler explained his condition for coming in, as if he was told to do so. That being said he had given so many rules which she gu

1-4: Taming A Monster-I

Her heart raced aloud. Only at this moment did she realized how the situation she faced was. The fact is, the butler had left her inside a room with a man, an adult man! The young master wasn't young as she had guessed, instead, he was a well matured, tall man with a frightening power on the grip that tightened around her wrist. With such large hands, crushing her bone felt... like a cakewalk. Oh no! "I- I'm hired here as your servant!" She said, hoping this could somehow placate the man before her. She couldn't see but her other senses could feel that the figure standing before her was towering and enormous. "I heard," he said languidly, the way he spoke she could imagine a face bared from a smile. Instead it would be a gaze that so sharp and burning with anger. "But who told you that you can simply enter my room as you please?" Jane furrowed her brows as her wrists ache. The more he spoke, the tighter the grip around her bone became. "B- But the butler..." "The butler serves

1-5: Taming A Monster-II

"How was it, Stanley?"The voice came from a woman in her late thirties, her beauty accentuated by the golden jewelry adorning her and her hair styled into a high, elegant updo. Her eyes rested on the butler who had just returned after pushing Jane into the monster's lair, now standing once more before the lady of the house, the second wife of his master, Lady Piper."She's entered his room," Stanley answered. "The young master should be... enjoying her by now.""Hmph." Lady Piper clicked her tongue softly. "We'll see if she can even survive the first day with him. But tell me, are you certain she's the obedient type?""From what I observed," Stanley replied, "she seems to understand how to survive. If given an order, I believe she'll follow it well. The seller also claimed she was the quietest among the girls he had kidnapped.""Hopefully he wasn't lying," Piper said. Though her expression remained composed, her knee betrayed her, swaying up and down in quiet impatience. "We can't af

1-6: Taming A Monster-III

"Anyway, I heard that you're going to be taking care of the young master from now on," Wren continued and Jane furrowed her eyebrows at the news. She knew she would have to do business to stay in this mansion, even though she doesn't want to stay, but she couldn't willfully dispose herself from working. In return for that, she felt that this family wouldn't just allow her to leave. "Can I ask... something Wren?" She hesitated before she started but Wren seemed to be more than willing to answer any question she might have. Taking the chance, she continued, "What... kind of family are we working in?" She knew it came as a weird question and Wren acted the way she expected with eyebrows furrowed and her neck tilted to one side of her shoulders as if she was confused how Jane couldn't tell where they were working in. "I didn't really hear much since I came from the countryside," she hoped her words would make Wren less suspicious and taking a glance at Wren's face who seemed to look c

1-7: Taming A Monster-IV

Jane rushed to the top of the staircase, her black loafers making a dull sound as she huffed, finally reaching the highest floor which took more time than she thought it would. A part of her even regretted looking too amazed at the mansion. What will that blind man do to her if she's late? Jane gulped dryly. The severed head... she couldn't bring herself to ask Wren about it but seeing that she was at ease speaking about the young master, Victor Mildred, she wondered if his murders were ever known by the outside world. The butler, on the other hand, seemed to know. As she walked closer to the attic, fear caught her heart, making her nervous. Her heart had thumped so loudly she could almost feel it about to jump from her stomach, leaving her nauseous. "Ah!" A sudden voice slipped but it didn't came from her. Jane's head lifted swiftly to the door at the end of the hallway. She could hear more moans coming from the room, sounding like a cry. And the voice was unmistakably a wom

2-1: Brainless Hamster-I

Victor's blue eyes settled on her and a shudder unwelcomely shook her body. Jane knew that the man couldn't see, at least that's what they have told her, but his eyes seemed to be staring at her neck when his lips curled.Death.Jane had always been close to a brush of death.The first time was when she fell off a cliff during the time she was gathering for herbs. The second time was when she saw that man raised his hand which was holding the shovel.Two times weren't a lot but when it comes to brushing close against death, it was more than enough practice for her to be more aware of danger better than others.And this time, she could feel it, a strong sense of death impending, like a shadow looming on her."Hic."A small hiccup slipped from her mouth.Hiccups were always her biggest weakness. Every time she felt fear, this reaction always comes out from her. It had came to the point that it became an obvious weakness for people who wanted to take advantage of her fear, just like now

2-2: Brainless Hamster-II

Stanley had sent a total of sixteen maids into Victor's room, all of them eventually killed as Victor was used to having people who was after his room. So when Stanley first bought Jane, it was a whim and also an experiment. He wanted to see if Jane who they said bear a curse would somehow survive Victor and oddly, she did. This should be good... but it left Stanley confused. For all he knew, everyone who entered Victor's room at night was never spared but oddly by the morning Stanley woke up to get rid of her body, he found Victor sitting on his bed with a smirk on his lips as he pointed his finger lazily on the floor. "A wrong maid entered my room at night, screamed, and fainted." It was a simple statement but it felt too strange when it came from Victor's own mouth.So Stanley kept a watch on the girl, wondering whether she had done something that others couldn't but so far, Stanley couldn't notice anything different from her than the other maids that he sent before, leaving hi
