I just realized that I had dozed off on bed in the midst of sobbing. I was fully awake after three hours later and every of the servants were lying relaxed. I realized the reason they were less busy was because Damian haven't been around. I saw him last on my way to the servants quarters but I wasn't aware that he had left afterwards. I had no friends at the mansion but there was this gracious soul that caught my attention at the mansion and she has really been nice to me. I approached Uriel where she was at her corner eating some leftovers.
"Uriel! Uriel!!...."I called out her name as she turn her head backwards happy to see me.
"Julienne you've been sleeping for a while now and I didn't know you were awake already. Seems you were in your feelings earlier this morning." She replied me while I grinned my teeth perplexed.
I sat next to her on her bed reaching my hand for a bite of the leftover she was feeding on. I leaned my shoulder against hers as my face turned pale ahain. I tried stopping myself from crying because I had cried enough. Mother should hold in for a while because I believe my presence would only put her into a deeper trouble. Uriel pat my hair gently with her palm while I felt a bit at peace.
"Don't mind me Uriel, everything would be fine. Where is Master Damian? I haven't seen him since I woke up from my slumber and I noticed his workers are less busy today." I asked her while she nodded her head in agreement with my words.
"He left in a hurry earlier today and I can't point fingers at the reason he did so. It seemed like he was off to save someone or something important he was about to lose." She replied me while I acted unbothered.
★★Outside the hospital★★
Mother's face was looking much better than it was before Damian took her to the hospital. She couldn't stop thanking for his good act but at the same time, she was scared that his mother might come for her by hurting me. Damian assured her that none of that would happen and he would try his best to protect me from the clenches of his mother.
"I'm really worried about my daughter and I don't want your family to lay a finger on her. I can bear any punishment from them but I can't watch them hurt my baby Julienne." She cried out to him in a shaking voice.
"She's mad at me Aunt Miranda and I guess she found out about your current state earlier this morning. Her eyes were swollen and I suspect it was due to her unstoppable tears." He replied her while mother looked at him very surprised.
"How did she find out? Who told her about my situation? I know Julienne, she will be in a very bad state right now and now I can't stop worrying about her." Mother said to him sobbing as Damian lender his arms as a resting place for her.
Damian dropped mother back home heading back to the mansion. He arrived after few minutes later and everyone started acting busy on sighting him. I was just at a corner not caring if he scolds me for my nonchalance. Damian sighted me at a corner and noticed that I was much better now. He approached me, pretending not to know about mother's condition. He pulled a stern stare at me while I turned away my face.
"I will be upstairs in your courtroom waiting for you my dear master." I said to him in a lazy low tone trying to leave but he dragged me back as I mistakenly landed on his chest.
I bulged out my eyes staring at his face as my eyes went from his face to his chest. I tried distancing myself but he kept pulling me back to his chest. I was feeling so embarrassed because the other servants were already gossiping about us and giving us suspicious eyes. I tried my best to escape from his grip but Damian was acting stubborn now.
"Damian don't you've any shame at all? What do you think you're doing right now? Let me go." I whispered to him but he looked into my eyes naughtily.
"Are you done being rude? I thought you would throw a fist at me because your guts were glaring already. Now I'll see who gets into trouble either me or you. The servants are already talking already and if my family sees you here...your life will be over." He replied while I felt my throat shaking at every swallowing of my saliva.
I closed my eyes about to do something despicable. I wasn't going to let Damian put me into trouble because my mum would be dragged along into this mess. I placed my hands on his shoulder taking a deep breathe and "boom" I pushed him to the ground as his butt landed on the gravelled ground. The sound of the landing was loud and I guessed it was very painful. I ran away heading upstairs to his court room. It wasn't my fault because I wouldn't have any explanations to give if his family finds us very close to each other. The female servants came to his aid and used the situation as an opportunity to get close to him. Damian had such tempting appearance and it would be difficult for any lady not to get attracted to him. Damian left the scene immediately going after me in anger. I was already on my knees at his court room raising my hands on the air. My eyes were shut while my heart raced faster than it should. Damian barged into his courtroom angrily searching for me and he saw me at a corner serving a punishment he didn't give me to serve.
"You're not going to escape today brat!! Such nerves to push me down that way in front of my servants." He said to aloud taking several steps forward towards me.
Hearing his footsteps coming towards my direction got me agitated and I had to let go my ego.
"I'm sorry for my despicable behavior and it wasn't my fault by the way. Forgive me my master I plead for your mercy." I begged him for mercy acting up.
Damian stood in front of me shaking his head vigorously. He refused to forgive me and insisted I serve some punishments for my act. I was asked to rearrange all his books on the shelves at the courtroom after scattering them on a purpose. I was pissed at his childish act but I had no choice at all. I served the punishment that took me several minutes to get it done. Damian ordered me to clean up his courtroom and I wondered if he could do that without his servants. Luckily I was left with a week for my punishment to be over and I couldn't long for the last day to arrive so that I would go home to my mother whom I have longed to be in her arms for long.
