Chapter 21
The Knights were at the dining table, everyone was sitting on their situated seats. Mr & Mrs. Knight
were talking with each other about something, Hazel and Nathan were busy with their phones. And
Lucifer...his eyes were as always looking for that one girl. His father didn''t know about his
announcement yet. He wouldn''t be happy and Lucifer knew that. But, he could care less about his
father''s bullshit lecture.
Few minutes passed like that and the maids started to show up with different food trays in their hands.
He didn''t even nce at a single maid, his eyes were aching to see her. He never cared that he might
be a little too harsh on her. He would get what he wanted. And he only wanted her that time. However,
the atrocious ploy would break her...but, that was what he wanted. He wanted to break her until she
would give up. He wanted to break her into that condition where she would have no one beside her
except for him.
He was unaware that his wicked smile was seen by August from the corner of the kitchen. She gulped
thinking what he might be thinking about. She was aware of how dangerous that man could be. But,
she wasn''t aware of how vile his n was.

"Hey August, can you take this tray outside? I am carrying another one." Marie said. She nodded her
head and picked up the tray and went outside to face her fate.
There she is! Said the devil in his mind as she walked in, she was looking gorgeous. Her hair was
pulled in a loose braid. Her eyes were glued to the ground, not meeting anyone''s sight. Small strands
of her hair persistentlying on her face. She put her front ears behind her ear and served lunch to
everyone.
Lucifer held the ss of wine and brought it to his mouth, taking small sips, his eyes were still on
August, watching her every step. She knew he was watching her but, no matter how much she wanted
to leave from there, she couldn''t. It was her job to serve food to everyone.
"Please serve me the sd." Mrs. Knight said. She nodded her head and cautiously served the sd
on her te. She thought that was her chance to ask Mrs. Knight if she could talk to her.
"M-Ma''am, can I-I talk to you after lunch for a minute?" Her soft voice asked. His heart danced in
excitement when he heard her. He nced at her, her cheeks were flushed and as always her eyes
never met with anyone.
"Sure honey." Hearing Mrs. Knight''s answer, she looked up and smiled warmly at her before walking
away from the dining table. He wanted to see those green eyes again and her beautiful smile that
never failed to melt his heart.
But, at the same time, he was wondering what she wanted to talk about with his mother. He guessed
that she might want to convince her mom so that she wouldn''t have to leave his father''s house. He
smirked at the thought. Nice try little kitty. But you have to know that nothing will help. My decision is
irrevocable.
The Knights'' lunch was over and the maids were cleaning the table along with August. Mrs. Knight told
August to meet her in her room. She put the dirty tes in the sink and went out of the kitchen. She
was very nervous, she hoped that luck would be beside her that time.
She sighed as she knocked on the door of Mrs. Knight''s room. "Come in." Said, Mrs. Knight.
She got inside and immediately bowed her head. "Oh, August!" She put the cup of tea on the table.
"You wanted to talk about something?" August nodded her head and replied.
"Yes ma''am."
"Okay. Is it about my son?" She asked looking at her. August nodded her head again sadly. Mrs. Knight
sighed and approached her, put her hand on August''s shoulder.
"Look honey, I know you are not happy with the decision and my son announced it all of a
sudden...without any sign so, it was surprising for me too. And I also know why you want to live here,
you made friends and I can see Martha treats you better than other maids here, I noticed you are a
very nice girl. But, don''t worry honey okay? Maybe you will like these too." She smiled softly at August
that almost melted her heart. She couldn''t stop herself from returning the smile too and nodded her
head.
"And if you don''t like it there you can anytime quit the job ande back to my house or look for
another job. No one will stop you."
She shook her head yes. Mrs. Knight let go of her shoulder and her face beamed. She is truly a nice
woman.
She returned the smile and departed the room. She was relieved. She thought at least she could easily
leave the job and go far away from Lucifer. But, oh how wrong she was...
Lucifer was just standing a bit far away from his mother''s bedroom and unfortunately, he heard
everything. He clenched his fist and took a long stride towards her when she saw her walking away. He
wrapped his hand around her neck and muffled her screams with his other hand.
August was dumbfounded by his sudden outburst. She was aware of who that person could be but, she
was silently praying it was not him. She was struggling to free herself from his strong tight grip. She
scratched his arms, thinking it might help. But, instead, it made Lucifer madder, he squeezed his neck.
Her eyes went big at the pressure he was putting on her neck. And within few moments, he pulled her
away from there and got inside his bedroom.
August was more petrified when Lucifer pushed her on the wall with his hand still muffling her cries and
screams.
"Shut the fuck up!" He yelled. She whimpered but didn''t stop trying to escape from him. She tried to
knee him down there but Lucifer was way too fast than her. He pushed her back more and struck her
on her face. It immediately shut her mouth, few drops of blood were flowing down from the corner of
her lips. She winced when her hand touched the wound.
He gripped her chin and pulled her close to him. "You really think you can leave the job? Leave my
house?" Heughed. Her body was shivering in fear.
He leaned to her, looking at her with his evil eyes. "No my kitten, you cannot escape, you cannot leave
the job unless I tell you to, and that''s never going to happen because I will never ever let you leave."
He said in his low minacious voice.
She was panting heavily. It was enough for her, she could not just bear everything and say nothing.
She swallowed her fear and whispered. "I-I can d-do whatever I want! I am m-my own person, n-no one
can control me."
He looked at her with mirth, he left her and took few steps back. Taking out his phone, he went to the
video option and yed the video in front of her.
What August saw, shook her to death. It was the video of Caroline, sitting on the couch and watching
TV. She immediately approached him and took the phone from his hand. Her hands were trembling.
She looked at him with shock written on her face.
"H-How did you g-get this video?" He stayed silent for few seconds. "I had my men out hidden cameras
in your house." She cried more.
He snatched the phone from her hand. "Now now princess, you are aware of my capability. You are
aware of what else I can do. Today I''m showing you the normal video of your aunt, enjoying her alone
time. Just imagine...tomorrow it might be a video of your aunt tied to the chair and my men holding her
captive and...."
"No! No please don''t harm her master please she is innocent she didn''t do anything. Please let her go."
She pleaded, holding his hands unknowingly. Lucifer felt a tingling sensation in his heart at the touch of
her. But, he didn''t let her see how much she was affecting him.
He took her hand on his and kissed her knuckles before letting it go. "You know princess what I want. If
you ever try to leave the job...you know what will happen." He said and turned around to leave the
room. But stopped, remembering something.
He cupped her cheeks and kissed the bruise on the corner of her lips. She didn''t dare move or try
anything as she was afraid that he would hurt Caroline.
"Your birthday is in 4 days, take this as your birthday present." He whispered and left the room, leaving
her all broken.
