I didn't quite understand at first what made me volunteer to be her apprentice. It wasn't that I wanted to fool her about who I really was.
It was also true that I have admired her works from afar and have held her in high reverence. But that wasn't enough reason to stay by her side.
I tried to convince myself it will be just a temporary setup. I would tell her the truth in time, and then she would despise me and curse the ground I walk in.
This is just another one of the unforgivable crimes I have committed against her. The lady I promised to serve.
I looked at her beautiful face as I stared down at her. She was soundly sleeping now, her snore occupying her small bedroom.
I frowned when I thought how vulnerable she is in this position, how some perverted man can just be staring at her like this in her nightgown, harboring evil thoughts as she lay there defenseless.
When I felt the tremors on my skin and the heat that rushed to my loins, I realized... I am that evil man.
