Dominic hated my guts for cursing back, so he demanded to have a serious conversation with me. Initially, I complained about the location of our meeting, but he insisted that he’s tired. While on the way to his bedroom, I couldn’t help but be nervous.
I knocked three times before I heard him permitted me to enter, and my eyes widen when I found him on his bed, and his bare chest was visible from the threshold, but he was at least wrapped in a blanket from his toes to his stomach.
“Can you put something decent while I’m here?” I requested.
“Just take a sit,” he ordered.
I clenched my teeth as I considered whether to follow his order or to remain to stand, and I chose the latter. “All we need is our mouth to talk, Dominic, so I don’t have to sit,” I defied his order.
“All right,” he said as he turned away from me. I was curious about why he did this, and I thought he was only trying to be relaxed. I waited for a while, but then I heard him snore.
Seriously? How could he sleep after letting me in inside his room for an agreed meeting?
“Dominic!” I yelled his name, and when he pretended to doze off again, I grabbed the blanket covering him, and I regretted my action immediately. I was stunned at what I saw and turned around to save my eyes from committing a grave sin. “You’re naked!”
After shielding my innocent eyes with my hands, I asked him to cover himself, and when he didn’t move to do it, I strode towards the door. “Where are you going?” he asked.
“I think this is not the right time to talk,” I replied. “We’ll speak in the morning,” I said as I rushed out of his room.
From his bedroom, I dropped by the kitchen to get bottled water. While drinking the cold water, his naked images flashed through my mind. I shook my head to disregard the lascivious form from my imagination and sprinted towards my bedroom.
While sprawling in my bed, the scene that my innocent eyes had seen earlier kept me awake. It kept flashing back into my mind, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get it out of my system. While lying helplessly in my bed, I wished I had some friends I could be candid with. Finally, I forced myself to sleep, sighing loudly.
A few moments later, I heard a commotion outside, and then I heard Dominic’s voice screaming at someone who probably visited without prior notice. I was supposed to ignore them but all of a sudden he knocked on my door. I had no choice but to open it.
The person who knocked wasn’t Dominic, but someone else; an incredibly gorgeous man with long black hair in a ponytail. I was immediately captivated by the stranger’s killer grin as he looked at me. He was unquestionably an angel sent by God to console me!
Just kidding! He could be handsome, but Dominic was much more appealing to me.
“So he didn’t lie that an angel lives here,” he chuckled.
“He said that?” I asked.
“Yes,” he replied casually.
I was about to ask him several questions, but Dominic stormed in angrily and grabbed the man away from my room. “Marian, get inside and lock your door!” He ordered.
Dominic acted as if the visitor was a terrorist. The man looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember where in hell I met him. Anyway, it’s their business, so I’d rather go to bed.
In the morning, the house was so silent that I had to search for my employer. I knew that it wasn’t my place to be worried about him, but I was used to hearing his loud voice from now and then. So, assuming that he’s having a good time with one of his mistresses, I tiptoe on the corridor going to that area.
Dominic wasn’t with the women. Where the hell could he be when it’s past eight in the morning? He was supposed to have his breakfast before eight. After searching every possible area that he could be lounging around, I decided to check his bedroom.
Did he oversleep?
A few minutes later, I was in front of his door and having a second thought whether to knock or not. Then, all of a sudden, an idea popped up in my head, and I placed my ear on the wooden door to listen to what’s going on inside. I was concentrating on my task when he abruptly opened the door, and a scream escaped from my mouth when I fell to the floor.
“Marian!” He exclaimed upon seeing me, sprawling with legs open on a hard floor. I thought that he wouldn’t help me up, but he proved to be a gentleman when he’s not in a foul mood. However, of all the mishaps that could happen, a wardrobe malfunction wasn’t one of them.
Or I say that a button or two disconnected from my uniform and flew away?
“So, what exactly are you doing here?” He screamed.
“I just came to let you know that breakfast is ready. By the way, nobody else is at home; where’s your visitor?”
“If you keep acting like this, I’ll have no choice but to replace you with someone more efficient,” he said coldly, and it scared me, to be honest.
“What did I do wrong this time? If you are hungry, your food is waiting in the breakfast nook.”
“Bring it here,” he commanded.
“Are you serious?”
“Yes, please bring it here.”
“No,” I refused.
Dominic grunted in frustration, and the next thing I knew, he dragged me downstairs, and together we walked towards the part of the house where he housed several of his mistresses. “You ought to know what I usually do when I am angry,” he announced.
“Are you threatening me?”
“No, I just want to show you my other side,” he replied, scaring me tremendously.
Dominic groaned as he made his way to his mistress. If my guess was correct, he needed sex to clear his mind or to calm down. “Are you sick?” I asked him.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s not normal to need sex whenever you’re mad,” I told him, and he was stunned I guessed it correctly.
“Leave,” he said.
“You are the one who brings me here, so come on, don’t be a baby.”
“Say that word again, and I am going to give you a baby!” He yelled at me, and I cringed at the style of warning me. It’s overacting and not suitable to someone like him. When I smirked at him, Dominic didn’t like it. For a moment, I stood frozen under his intent gaze. “Who are you, Marian?” He asked.
“What do you mean by your question?”
“You don’t consider me as your boss. You acted high and mighty around me, so who are you? Now, I’m beginning to doubt the backstory that you told me. Did you lie about it?”
Dominic’s questions caught me off guard, and I immediately stepped back to escape. “What exactly do you mean?” My hands trembled as I waited for his answer, terrified that he would recognize me!
“Are you afraid? Don’t be haughty with me the next time!”
I knew that he’s trying to put an end to my arrogance, but he couldn’t threaten me. My eyes narrowed at him, and he arched his brows to question my reaction; I ought to ask him something. “Are you involve in anything illegal?”
“If someone is doing illegal, I think it is you, Madam. Your actions do not match your words. You claimed to come from a low-income family, and yet your skin felt so soft, and they’re flawless! I mean, you have the aura of someone who never lifted a finger in her entire life,” he mentioned.
“What did you say? How did you know about how my skin feels? Did you touch me when I’m unaware? Oh my god, aren’t you creepy?”
“Do I have to remind you about the contract that you signed? You are my property now, Miss Marian. If I asked you to do the cleaning or the cooking, you do it. If I want you in my bed, you come and warm my bed. Understand?”
“I agreed to be your maid, Dominic, but never a whore!”
“It means the same thing to me, Miss. Maid or those women, you agreed to be owned by me!”
I shook my head in disbelief that the man was so crazy about his ideals. “It’s not going to happen,” I assured him. Dominic seemed to be irritated and frustrated with me, but I felt the same.
“We’ll see,” he challenged my claim.
