Chereads / The Lure of Vengeance / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

I went downstairs after Damon and I had a conversation. While I was walking down the staircase, I noticed some men wearing black suits standing at the entrance of the mansion. watching and observing.

It's good that I'm used to this, so I'm not worried. I always had personal guards on my tail before. That's why I agreed to go to college abroad to escape from that kind of life. It's choking me. It's making me feel suffocated.

I went straight to the kitchen. Elder Miray and Elder Tess helped serve the food we cooked in the dining hall. We went out of the kitchen one by one while carrying a tray of food, and one by one we laid it on the long dining table.

Then we chose to stand opposite the dining table, in case Damon had to order us later. Fortunately, I can easily learn things. I don't know how, but I can really learn just by observing and watching. Chores are quick to be stored in my mind, even if I only watch them once. Even in cooking, I never studied how, I just watched once, and later on I found myself cooking a dish appropriately.

Damon later entered the dining hall, only wearing a black button-down sleeve folded at his elbow. It was tucked in to his black pants.

I thought he was alone, which was gradually lost when a woman entered after him. She's good at walking, like a model who is used to doing that. even the way her hips swayed while she walked. The dress she was wearing was revealing, and it was so short. Her chest was almost bulging out, and her long black hair was in a high ponytail. Her make-up was thick, which matched her face, and her neck and ears shone with the expensive jewelry she wore. Even her purse. She looks fond of brilliant things, and look at those heels she was wearing.

"Here she is again," I heard Elder Tess whisper. Based on the tone of her voice, she didn't seem to like the woman.

"Hey! Where's my plate? " I turned my gaze back to the woman, and if I could, I would raise my eyebrows at her.

Elder Miray immediately placed a plate in front of her and I saw how her eyes rolled.

It looks like I won't like her either. Well, I just saw her for the first time when she came in and I already want to make fun of her.

"Babe, give me some food, please." My lips parted at the way she spoke. Damon had no emotion. I immediately shut my mouth and couldn't believe I was shaken.

I was even more amazed to stare at Damon as he, without complaint, translated the food to the woman. Oh my God! She has a hand! She's not a snake to not be able to get food. very artistic. Later, someone called Damon on his phone, causing him to leave the dining hall and leave the anaconda behind.

"Where's my juice?" Can't she lower her voice? She can ask questions without shouting, just because we are close and scandalous.

"Well, that juice," Tess gently pushed me to get my attention. That's when I realized that the juice was on my side. I immediately took it and brought it to the anaconda. I carefully laid it in front of him.

"Before you?"

"Yes ma'am," I calmly answer, suppressing my own smirk.

That's why you're so stupid, "I bit my lip to stop myself from cursing her. I almost forgot that I was in disguise.

I simply stared at it before turning around to go back to my seat. That bitch, just be thankful that I'm new here; I have a plan in mind, or she'd be taking a juice bath right now.

She soon came out, so we could breathe easily.

"Even before that woman was really very ambitious, she had the audacity to make you feel like she was the master's wife. Do you know? She often tells us that she is the master's future wife and that she has a right to him. She's just the master's woman," I felt my eyes widen at what I heard. Her face is really thick. Overconfident She deserves the name anaconda, because aside from being like a snake, she also has thick scales.

After we cleaned the food, we ate dinner, old lady Josie and my two sisters with me, before we washed the things we used.

I don't know why the three of us slept so far away. They were at the bottom, at the end of the mansion, near the backdoor. While I was on the second floor, at the end of the hallway, Maybe it's like old lady Josie said. They said there were only three rooms where they were, so I was really upstairs. There are as many rooms on the second floor.

The house was already dimmed when I went up to the second floor. I deliberately slowed down because I preferred to watch until I came across a door.

I was surprised it wasn't locked and slightly pitiful. Out of curiosity, I chose to come over and try to peek inside, but I couldn't see much because it was a bit dim as well.

I accidentally put my hand on the door at the same time as it opened. I don't know what misfortune befell me when I lost my balance and plunged into the body of the man in front of me now.

My heart throbbed with nervousness. I started to panic. I felt one of his arms curl around my waist. Just a few seconds later, I realized that he was not wearing any top and my face was sunk into his chest. Wtf?

He immediately pulled me away from him, and I almost lost my balance again because of the shock.

"What are you doing here?" I gulped.

"I just passed by, Sir---I mean Master," His brows furrowed. It's not that bright here, but I can still see his face.

"Really?" he seemed to disbelieve based on his question.

"Uh, I was going to close that door because it's slightly open, maybe you forgot," my excuse stinks. That's too stupid.

I was almost out of breath when he suddenly bent down and brought his face close to mine.

"Is that really your purpose?" I feel my heart stop beating at those times.

No, he won't know right away. It's not like that.

I was about to answer when I looked a little disappointed and saw a woman come to the bed and sit down. My eyes widened and receded slightly before turning to Damon.

Anger rose in my chest at what I saw. He is having sex with another woman. And at that time, I saw it for myself.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm going to sleep. I exchanged glances with Damon a few times before I averted my gaze and started walking towards my room. Because of the depth of my thoughts, I walked slowly.

What did my family see in him that made them agree to marry me?

I stopped midway.

What kind of life will I have when she is the one I marry? Like this? Every night he has a woman? Someone else is next to him in bed and warming him up? Will he treat me like just a maid and then hold me by the neck? No way! I love my freedom and I have no plans to get married yet. I am just turning 25 and will be

"Why are you thinking too much?" I felt my hair stand on end when I heard a voice behind me.

I held my breath, trying to calm down and not to face him, but I felt his hand wrap around my body. I sighed in shock because of what he did. I badly wanted to protest and to push him away, but I remained stuck.

What's the deal with my stuttering? What the hell is he doing to me? What is he planning? Don't tell me he's going to hit his housemate too? My God.

"Do you want me to help you forget whatever you were thinking?" I bit my lip when I felt his breath against my ear. My hair stood on end at what he did. I clench my fist and gather all of my strength to step away.

"I'm going to sleep, Sir," I said without looking at him, walking straight to the front of my room. I quickly opened the door and before I could enter, I turned to Damon. It remained standing where I had left it. He was staring at me, so I immediately averted my eyes and immediately entered.

The fast beat of my heart makes me suffocate. I knotted my hand on my chest and immediately got on the bed. The knees I chose to lie down on were weakening.

What the hell is his problem? It's just my first day. Is he toying with me?

I was interrupted by a call. I immediately picked up my phone and saw it was Kael.

"What is it again, Kael?" I groaned.

"It's not Kael, it's brother Kael."

"Whatever, what do you need again?"

"Kath, please go home. Mom and dad are freaking mad! I'm the one they're teasing, because you haven't come home yet. "

"I told you, I don't want to marry that man. I don't want to go home."

"Damon is giving us a second chance. He was angry when you didn't show up. He canceled all of his appointments just for you, and then you didn't come." Don't you think that's rude? We apologized to him. Fortunately, you can marry my friend. He still tries to understand the situation. Please come home, Kath. I am sure you will like Damon. "

"No, I won't go home until you stop this mania. You can't even give me a reason why I have to marry that man," I moaned, and didn't give her a chance to answer. I immediately turned off the call and slumped down on the bed.

Not long after, I immediately got up and went into the bathroom. I took off my wig and washed off my body, revealing my true color. I also removed the contacts I was wearing and let my long, wavy frosty blond hair fall. I was wearing no clothes while facing the mirror. And I can see my anchor tattoo on the side of my lower abdomen. I can also see the small letters of my tattoo on my chest. You are part of the lyrics of the song that is important to me. It was just two lines, very minimal.

After glancing at the whole thing, I took the night robe I had brought and went out of the bathroom.

My second day at that mansion was not that hard. I was able to quickly adjust and adapt to the culture of those present, Tess and Miray, with whom we got along even better. So far, old lady Josie hasn't noticed anything wrong with me, and Damon is often away the whole week. I'm just really looking for a time to enter his office and room. Because I wasn't assigned to clean then, I had no excuse.

It's Saturday. I've been here without my family's knowledge.

I was walking down the stairs when I saw Tess carrying a bag and wearing a dress.

"Are you going to market, sister?" I asked, and she smiled.

"No, it's our off today until tomorrow. I'll be back tomorrow night. You? You're not going home? "day off? If that's the case, then...

"No sister, our province is far away and only my father is with me here. I'll just visit him tomorrow."

"All right, I'll be back tomorrow night too. Miray has been there before. "Old lady Josie is at the grocery store," I said as I led her outside before entering.I prepared Damon's breakfast, and I also served it alone. Soon after, he entered the dying hall without looking at me.

"It's your day off; why are you still here?"

's no one to cook for you, sir, then our province is far away. I'll be visiting my father tomorrow, so I chose to serve you first today. "

He did not answer and began to eat, until someone called to him. I thought he was leaving, but he stayed there. I turned around and pretended to fix those present while listening to him talk.

"If he didn't choose to go back to our side, then kill him."

My brows furrowed.

"I hate traitors. Now do what I told you or I will kill you instead."

What the hell is he talking about? If he said those words, it seemed like a very simple thing to him.

I continued wiping the glass I was holding. It suddenly fell silent again, so I think he's done talking on the phone.

I was about to turn around when I collided with a muscular and tough body. It was too late for me to escape because he had already cornered me.

"S-sir?" He stared at me so hard that I was nervous. I tightened my grip on the glass and swallowed one after another as I stared into his blue eyes. I felt like I was staring at the heart of the ocean, and it was trying to pull me down no matter how hard I tried to stay afloat.

"You're eavesdropping. Why?" What the hell?

"No sir, I'm not a gossiper. In fact, I can really hear you because we're here and close enough to hear you." I covered my lips as his face came closer to mine.

I hold my breath when his lips touch my ear.

Shut your damn sexy luscious lips when you still want to stay alive, or else... I will be the one who will make that shut, and trust me, you'll either love it or hate it.

After he said that, I dropped the glass I was holding and almost fell when my knees shivered. It's a good thing he was able to catch me and accidentally pressed my lips against his.
