His Possession

She tugged in her clothes and other necessary stuff inside her bag. She wished she would have been doing it for a positive reason. She was told that Alexander had given her four days and that on the fourth day, she would be in his house, the man’s house from whom she was fleeing. Mrs. King, thankfully, persuaded Alexander to allow her a few days. That wasn’t like it was going to be a solution for her. Worst of all, he planned to take her on her birthday. It infuriated her. She might also dislike her own birthday.

Sighing, she chained her bag and kept it beside the bed. She didn’t want to leave that place, she was tearing up thinking she might not even be able to see Martha and Venessa, worse, she might not even see Caroline again!

She glanced at the calendar that was hanging on the, it said 10th august.

Her birthday was on 14th August. She was never really excited about her birthday or never hated it but, at that time she was truly hating it.

Alexander was doing that intentionally. His cruel nature said it all. For a moment, she was happy at least she had a chance to leave the job. But, Alexander snatched that right too from her, by using Caroline.

Just thinking of Alexander hurting Caroline was enough to make Emma tremble in fear. She would never let anything happen to Caroline.

Shutting her eyes, she let her tears flow down from her eyes. Who knew that her life would change like that?

She let out a shaky breath and cleaned her face with her hands. I have to be strong, for me and Caroline. I cannot be weak like this.

Emma rose from her bed and faced the mirror. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun. She paused and examined the bruise on the corner of her lips. It was a little bruised, but it was noticeable. When her palm came into contact with it, she winced. It’s no surprise that it was still painful; she hadn’t applied any ointment there after all. She considered asking Martha about it, but she knew Martha would question her. Emma was a terrible liar, and she knew she’d get caught.

Pulling out of her bag, she found a foundation container that Venessa gave her. Being a light-skinned girl, the foundation color matched with her skin. She took a little amount of foundation on her hand and covered her bruise with it. Thankfully, it did work. She was finally satisfied with it.

Leaving her room, she approached the kitchen and as usual, started her regular chores. All the other maids were working too along with her.

“Oh look! Isn’t this the same girl? What was her name again? Emma! Master Alexander chose her as his housemaid right?” She heard one of the girl gossiping.

“Yes, it’s her. Poor girl. She doesn’t know master Alexander. He will make her life hell,” another girl said. It was a lot for Emma.

Why do these girls have to gossip about me? Are they thinking that I can’t hear them?

“Poor girl? I think she is lucky though. I mean look at master Alexander. He is the most gorgeous and hottest. Working in his house would be tough but fun at the same time,” the first girl said and giggled.

Oh god! How can she even think about her own master like this? And that too master Alexander! She is the one who has no idea about master’s capability. He is not gorgeous, he is dangerous!

“Gosh Alina, what are you even saying? If someone hears you then you know what might happen? Just keep your mouth quiet and work,” the second girl said.

“Fine whatever Hasley,” Alina said. These girls were too much for Emma. She washed the last plate and put it in the sink before leaving the kitchen. Her next task was cleaning the living room and that was what she started doing.

Alexander was happy on the other hand. The first step of his plan was going well. He intentionally chose her that day.

It would be so good, the day she will be legal might be the day I-2

His thoughts were interrupted. He growled and turned around to face the person who called his name.

“What?!” He asked.

“Whoa whoa, brother! What’s up? Why are you in a bad mood?” Liam asked and smirked.

“What do you guys want?” Alexander asked in his usual blunt tone. Sofia rolled her eyes and stated.

“Big brother, you know Liam has planned to announce his new business project on 16th August. So, we are thinking that there should be a grand party for that and then the announcement,” she chirped.

“Calm down Sofia. So, Alexander can you cancel your important meetings for that day?” Lucas questioned.

“Well, I don’t think I can because I might have to attend a really important meeting.”

“Bro… come on you know how much important it is for me,” Alexander sighed. He knew that project was always Liam’s dream project. And Alexander did want to stay but he needed to be at his home that day.

“I will try to be there, but the party cannot take in my place if that’s what you three are thinking,” Alexander said. His siblings groaned in annoyance as that was what they planned to do.

“Fine, I will hold it somewhere else, but not in this house. I’m tired of viewing the same house party all my life,” Liam said.

2 days later

She once again glanced at the calendar.

12th August.

Only two days left. After that, she would be working for Alexander alone. She was scared and worried at the same time.

Scared that he could do anything to Caroline if she thought of leaving. He wouldn’t even think twice before hurting her.

She was laying on her bed, it was 1 am and her sleep vanished as those thoughts were whirling in her head. She got up and went out of the room. Everyone was sleeping by then.

She thought to get some water.

Emma walked down the stairs and approached the kitchen. Pouring water into the mug, she took a few gulps before placing it back where it was before.

She flinched and let out a scream when she saw someone standing at the end of the kitchen.

He smirked when he saw her reaction, observing her from up and down.

She is looking so hot in that nightdress.

He thought and licked his lips. Calm down. I am gonna get her after a few days anyway.

“Who’s there?” She questioned, not recognizing the person standing there. It was dark so, she didn’t see anything.

He came forward and she regretted asking who it was…

She didn’t say anything and was leaving the kitchen.

“Wait,” he said.

She stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around, feeling nervous and scared. She was already not in a good state of mind.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Come here,” Alexander commanded. She started to walk panting heavily. Because she knew if she didn’t listen he might do something worse.

She walked to him and stopped when she was close enough, looking down.

He went closer and touched her lips. She gasped and tried to step back.

“Stand still,” he growled. Whimpering quietly, she didn’t do anything, just stood there with her eyes closed.

He caressed her soft smooth skin with her rough fingers, and his hand touched the bruise he gave her. He didn’t want to hurt her like that but she left him no choice. He heard her wincing at his touch. He moved his hand away from her mouth. She was surprised when he backed away and removed his hand. It wasn’t something that he would do.

She stared at him in confusion.

“Stay here,” he said and disappeared into the living room. A few minutes later, he came back with a first aid kit in his hands.

“Sit,” he commanded again and as usual, she obeyed. He sat too, facing her. Taking out a small piece of cotton and ointment, he softly applied it to the bruise. Emm6 winced every time the cotton connected with her skin. She was continuously trying to move away from him earning a scold every time. He was treating her like a little child.

After he was done, he threw away the cotton and closed the first aid box.

She was very much confused.

He was never so soft with her. He was fierce and dangerous. Soft wasn’t a word that could describe him. But, at that time Emma felt it was someone else and she also didn’t understand that if he could be kind then why did he choose to be so cruel?

She snapped out of her thoughts and stood up.

“I’m sorry master but, I think I need to go and sleep,” surprisingly, he didn’t say anything just nodded and gestured for her to go.

She hurriedly left for her room.

He was dumbfounded at his actions too. He was never so soft with anyone and that girl was changing everything.
