His Possession

Emma

She gasped loudly as the photo fell from her hand to the floor. Lucas was staring at her with an annoyed and angry look.

“What the fuck are you doing here, maid?” He asked again. This time louder than before.

“I-I was j-just…” He did not let her finish and said. “How dare you touch Alexander’s belongings! If he finds out about this you will be out of this house immediately if he doesn’t kill you first!” He roared at her and took long strides, making her go back.

Picking up the photo from the floor, he put it back on where it was before and glared at her. She looked down without saying anything.

“If you ever touch a single thing here, you will regret it. Do you understand that?” Emma nodded her head swiftly and walked past him muttering sorry.

Her heart was racing as she bolted from the room. He didn’t even give her a chance to explain before lashing out… yet she was relieved it wasn’t Alexander. She was sure he would have punished her, which was the last thing she wanted.

She walked over to where the other maids were. It was almost noon, so they were all in their assigned seats. Emma sat down in an empty chair. She was told that they ate their meals in a medium-sized common area. It was furnished with a small table and a few chairs. Emma believed that was sufficient for the maids.

She terribly missed Martha and Venessa and wished she could see them once more.

Emma was grateful for the opportunity to exchange phone numbers with Venessa. At the very least, she could text her whenever she was free. She decided to text her after she was finished with her duties.

One of the maids placed their meal on the table for them. Emma became even more hungry as a result of the fragrance. Yuna had prepared udon noodle soup for them. That’s what everyone was calling the meal. It was the first time Emma had heard of it. She couldn’t recall the last time she had Chinese cuisine.

Yuna served her a bowl full of noodles and handed her a pair of chopsticks. Emma didn’t know how to use them but she was too embarrassed to tell her that, so she looked at the other girls and tried to copy them. Only to fail miserably and end up embarrassing herself.

“It’s okay Emma, you can use a fork!” Isabella smiled and handed Emma the fork. She simply thanked her and started to eat her food.

The girls there were really friendly unlike in Mr. King’s house, only Venessa and Martha were nice to her. But at Alexander’s residence, she could say that they all were her friends, except for the girl Ruby. She was not bad to her or the others, but never really talked to Emma.

Once they were done, they picked up the empty dishes and washed them. Ela did not eat with them, unlike Martha.

Ela was very different from Martha.

However, the girls were back to their working stations again. It was such a big house but compared to Mr. King’s house there was not a lot to do by 3 pm.

“Okay girls. Hear me out!” Ela yelled to get their attention. The girls looked at her.

“Master is coming home early today, maybe he’ll be here in an hour. I want to know if anyone has cleaned his room properly,” she asked.

“Yes, miss Ela. Isabella did it,” Alexa said. Ela nodded her head.

“Good, now don’t bother him when he comes home. Do the other chores and don’t go near his bedroom or study room. He wants to rest and there shall be no disturbance. So, whatever you all do, do it quietly. Now get back to your work,” they shook their heads in agreement and were left for their chores.

Emma was happy that she did not have to face him.

“Emma and Ruby. Stay with me,” she frowned slightly but stayed along with Ruby. The other maids had left already.

Ela stared at the two emotionlessly and said. “I apologize for stopping you two. But, there should be someone who will do master’s work when he gets home. So, I want you two to be here when he gets home. Understood?” Emma wanted nothing but to run away that time. The more she wanted to stay away from him, the more her fate brought her back to him. They nodded their heads anyway. Ruby looked like she did not have any problem.

Thirty minutes had passed and no trace of Alexander could be found. Emma hoped he would postpone his visit or arrive late at night. Ruby and Emma had nothing scheduled at that time, but she was worried and nervous. Ruby was preoccupied with her phone and didn’t even look at Emma. She sighed and decided to contact Venessa and chat with her for a while. She was missing her terribly.

Her phone was in her room, she was confused about whether she should inform Ruby or just leave without telling her.

“Um… R-Ruby,” Emma called out her name. Ruby stopped what she was doing and looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

“I-I’m going to my room, I’ll be back soon I promise,” she told her. Ruby nodded her head. “Don’t be late,” she said and her attention was again on her phone.

Emma sighed and left for her room. She went in and grabbed her phone before coming back to where she was. Ruby was sitting on the chair that was in the kitchen. She didn’t care about what Emma was doing.

She opened her phone and called Venessa. She received the call after a few rings.

“Hey, Emma!” She smiled. “Hey, Venessa. How are you?” Emma asked her politely.

“I’m fine girl, how are you? How are things over there? I missed you! I was so worried about you, I wanted to call but I thought I’d get you in trouble.”

“Oh no, you wouldn’t get me in trouble. I missed you too. How’s everyone there and how’s Martha?” Emma asked her.

“Martha is good and everything was fine here until…” She frowned and asked. “Until what?”

Venessa inhaled deeply. “Until master Alexander and his father got into an argument just a while ago. The atmosphere is not so good here right now. Even Mrs. King is very upset,” Emma felt bad for Mrs. King. She seemed like a nice lady, seeing her husband and son fighting must’ve been hard for her.

“Why did they fight?” Emma asked. “I don’t know Emma. We just heard them shouting at each other. After that master left the house, I think he is going back to his house.”

“Y-Yes, we we-were informed.”

Oh god! He left in a bad mood… I really hope he won’t take out his anger on us.

She gulped. She didn’t want to face that.

“Okay, Emma I should go now. Martha is calling me. See you, hun.”

“See you, Venessa,” she replied quietly and hung up the call.

Ruby and her finally heard the doorbell after a few minutes of waiting. Ruby slid her phone into her pocket and dashed towards the door. Emma noticed Alexander enter the house when the door was opened. He didn’t even look at them as he began to walk toward his bedroom. Emma exhaled, relieved that he hadn’t seen her.

She took a step back, and her palm slammed against the tiny table, causing it to tumble to the floor. She flinched and gasped loudly. It drew Alexander’s attention, and she spotted him looking in her direction. Her muscles tightened as a result of his attention. He continued looking at her, making her tremble in terror. He took his hand from his pocket, but to her surprise, he appeared calm and his glare was not as frightening as usual. It was supple.

He then returned his gaze to Ruby and motioned for her to pay attention to him. Emma watched him telling her something as Ruby ran up to him. She couldn’t hear them since they were so far away from her. His gaze was fixed on Emma at all times.

She knelt and rearranged the table as it had been. Emma couldn’t bring herself to glance up. But when she did, she was met with his dark eyes, which were looking down at her. It was nearly as black as the night sky.

She was breathing heavily. She couldn’t comprehend what he was thinking about.

A few seconds passed, and he broke the stare and walked up to his bedroom. Ruby was already in the kitchen, preparing food.

“W-why are you cooking?” Emma questioned.

“Master said he wants his food upstairs,” she replied not looking at her. “What are you c-cooking? Here let me he-” She was interrupted by Ruby.

“No need. I can make it all. Besides that, master asked for something light. So I’m just making Caesar salad.”

She replied bluntly.

“O-okay,” Emma said and was cleaning the dishes, which were in the sink. She didn’t have much to do. But she didn’t want to sit and not do anything.

Ruby was done making the salad. She told Emma to fetch Alexander’s regular drink, which was the alcohol, of course.

She fetched it and put it on the tray along with the glass and the salad bowl.

“Okay, it’s done now, Emma. Go and give this to master,” Ruby told her holding the tray. Emma looked at her with a terrified look.

“What? Oh god, don’t tell me you can’t even do that,” Ruby stated and rolled her eyes. “C’mon now go. I’m sure you don’t want him to be mad,” she hastily shook her head and held the tray.

Turning around, Emma began to walk towards his bedroom. She heard Ruby muttering something under her breath.

Oh god why me?

Okay, Emma just stays calm. You just have to put the tray and come back here.

Emma finally reached his room and knocked on the door. She got no reply. She knocked again but it was still the same. She held the tray carefully with one hand and twisted the doorknob until the door was wide open enough.

She peeked and did not see anyone. She sighed in relief and got inside wondering where Alexander was… but she was thankful that he was not there.

Emma carefully put the tray on the table and turned around to leave.

Her heart sank and she could feel her breath hitch when she felt a strong hand gripping her wrist tightly. She turned and saw him standing there with his pants on and a white towel around his neck. It looked like he had just taken a shower.

“M-master… wh-what are you do-doing?” She asked quietly. She squirmed to get out of his hold but he was tightening it more.

“I can’t wait anymore,” he said, almost whispering it to her.

In a swift motion, she was pulled onto him, his hand wrapped around her waist and his other hand went on her head, gripping her hair.

His lips were crushed onto hers. He moved his lips on hers softly yet in a rough motion. Her eyes were wide open and tears started to form in them.

Emma pushed on his chest trying to break the kiss, but he never moved an inch, instead he pulled her closer to him. Her eyes involuntarily closed.

His hand freely roamed around her body.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

It disgusted her. She was trying everything to make him leave her but she was helpless.

Seconds, which felt like an eternity of hell, passed and she finally felt him break the kiss. Emma backed away from him with her tear-stained face. He was taking dangerous slow steps toward her. Before she could think of anything she ran towards the door.

He ran after her and grabbed her hand. She screamed as loud as possible but his hand was on her mouth, muffling her screams.

Emma didn’t give up and kept on screaming and thrashing. Every possible thing to get away from him.

He only moved her closer to him. He kicked the door to close it and brought her inside, she was still thrashing and squirming. All of a sudden, Emma felt him throwing her on his bed. She bounced on it and backed away from him.

“St-stay away from me!” She yelled. He smirked at her without saying anything.

Alexander grabbed her feet and pulled her towards him. She gripped the bed sheets tightly.

He bent down to her level and whispered in her ear.

“Now You’re Mine.”
