Chapter 9 He Never Should’ve Kissed Her
Hera ran out of the apartment as fast as her legs could carry her. She ignored the voice of Mariam who was desperately calling out to her. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she made for her room in the servant quarters.
She doesn’t want to be here anymore.
She wants out of this house. Out of this apartment. She wants to leave and go far away so that she wouldn’t encounter her boss anymore.
Maybe she made a mistake by coming here. Maybe she made a mistake by dreaming about a good future for her and her sister.
Christina was right.
The convent is a much better place and she was foolish to leave when she knew about the risks that was involved in her decision.
She thought that her boss was nice and that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. She thought that she was lucky to have finally found a safe place for herself in this house but she was damn wrong.
Her boss is a very bad man and that’s a fact.
Well, he’s no longer her boss anyway.
She just slapped him which meant that she had already lost her job. Good riddance to bad rubbish if she must say. At least it’s better this way for now. She now has a reason to leave this godforsaken place and with a very good reason at that.
She’s going back home to the convent and she’s never leaving no matter what happens this time.

Bryce let the towel holding his waist fall loose to the ground and began prepping himself for work.
He thought about that maid again and his cock twitched in an instant.
Damn!
He made a mistake by having a taste. He never should’ve kissed her. He can still feel the softness of her lips on his own. He can still feel the savory flavor and the scent of her hair on his nostrils.
He needs a distraction. And a very good one to forget what happened this morning.
After putting on his clothes, he made for his suitcase and quickly exited his bedroom.
He met Mariam halfway through the stairs. She looked worried and it showed on her face like it was knitted there like a second skin.
“Are you okay?” He asked as he got closer to her.
“Hera is leaving?”
“Who’s Hera?” He asked staring at her with intent.
“The new maid” she blurted out “I saw her running out of your bedroom crying and when I went to her room to talk to her, she simply told me that she’s leaving.”
Bryce scratched his head with his index finger as he pondered on the situation at hand.
This is the first time that he’s experiencing something like this.
Most times, when he kisses a woman, she ends up on his bed but this one is trying to run away from him. Great!
As if he’ll ever let that happen.
He’s had a taste of her already and by the life of him, he’s not letting her go until he gets another taste. No matter how much it’ll cost him.
“Please talk to her sir” Mariam’s voice pierced through his thoughts. “She’s too innocent to wander the streets of this big city. She doesn’t even know her way around here and I’m scared that something bad might happen to her if she walks out of those gates.”
He looked at Mariam who had her hands clasped together pleadingly.
“What do you mean by she’s innocent and doesn’t know her way around here?” He asked the question that had lingered on his mind after all her explanation.
“She’s from the Convent. She came here because of the job” She answered.
Deep down, she was wondering what her boss needed that piece of information for.
She knew that he must’ve done something to her and maybe telling him about her coming from the Convent might keep him at arms length.
Hera had high hopes and expectations from this job and she isn’t going to let her leave without achieving any of her dreams.
Plus, the woman is very kind. You don’t see her type everyday.
If only the boss could see past his sexual addiction, he’d also realize that Hera is a gem and not one of those whores he sleeps with.
Bryce couldn’t believe his ears.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
No wonder she reacted the way she did. She’s from a fucking CONVENT? That explains everything.
Big mistake. He doesn’t do nuns.
Hell! He doesn’t touch them and wouldn’t be caught dead with any of them.
He’s pretty much satisfied with the whores in his life and he isn’t looking for anything different or anything perculiar.
“I’ll talk to her” he assured Mariam before walking outside the house towards the servants quarters.
Part of him wondered why he cared. Another part of him wanted to turn back and pretend like she never existed.
But his legs were going with the first thought and soon enough, he was already in front of her door.
Turn away Bryce and act like you didn’t know. He thought to himself.
Right, but he does know and if Mariam was correct, then he understands what the sexy lady was going through at the moment so he composed himself and knocked on her door gently.
The door opens and a teary eyed woman steps out.
“Hera” he started. Her name tasting like wine on his tongue
“Yes sir” She replied, eyes pinned to the ground.
She’s even scared to look him in the eye.
“Don’t leave” he tells her in the calmest voice that he could muster.
Since when does he talk to a woman calmly? He only talks to them when he wants to fuck them so why is he doing this now?
She shakes her head vehemently “I don’t want to stay.” Her voice came out like a child whose candy was stolen.
Well, he did steal her candy.
“I’m sorry and I promise that I won’t touch you ever again.”
Liar!
She looks at him. Her ears not believing what she just heard. His face is unreadable so she can’t tell if he’s actually saying the truth or not.
“Promise?” She asks. Her face brightening up a little.
He nods his head “Yes. So don’t leave.”
Don’t leave so that I can eye fuck you at every chance I get. He thought to himself.
“Okay” she replies with a faint smile “And I’m sorry for hitting you sir.”
“Think nothing if it. Let’s pretend like today never happened.”
But it did happen alright. Take that you fucking universe.
“Okay.” And with that she turned back and made her way inside her bedroom.
Bryce stared at her behind.
That ass is going to be the death of him.
