It had turned dark, He dragged the last puff from the cigarette.
Roman jumped down from the tree before throwing the exhausted Cigarette on the floor and stepped on it.
He really needed someone to vent his anger on, and he was thirsty too.
He trolled down the silent road and he realized he wouldn't be able to find prey that night. He cursed, not wanting to drive he decided to use his foot.
He walked for severe minutes till he got to a quiet alley, he took a turn and bumped into something, or someone rather. His eyes narrowed on the girl who had fallen on her butt.
"Ouch!" Roman narrowed his eyes down on her as he stared at her, she was the same maid that brought food to his room the night before.
He didn't care what she was doing there at that hour of the night, he walked past her. " hey! You pushed me, the least you could do was to apologize," She yelled after him.
She stood up Dusting dust off her butt, she wasn't aware that he is Roman, the son of her boss.
He was about to reply when he caught sight of two people running, "Please help me…" She whispered to him coming to stand behind him.
"I see someone came to help you out" The blue-haired guy laughed slightly, staring at Roman like he was some dirt.
"He is handsome too," The Black haired replied laughing sarcastically.
Roman stared at them, he was thirsty for blood and he didn't even have to try hard before these two idiots were played before him to deal with. He would've drank blood from the maid from his house but considering the fact that these two are there, he didn't have to do that.
"You are gonna get your butts kicked, he got a Red belt in Taekwondo," Forever boasted trying to scare them off. Fair enough, he does look like someone who has been trained for years.
"If I help you, what do I gain?" he asked, knowing fully well he would still be able to quench his thirst without even having a deal with her. But it won't hurt to feed his amusement while in this hell hole would it?
"One to never miss an opportunity I see?" The Black haired said, shining his white set of teeth that stood out in the dark.
"Why don't you join me and Jace?" The Blue haired offered,
"Hard pass," Roman declined, he went ahead to look at Forever for her response to what he had said.
Forever stared at Roman like he had grown two heads, Roman then shrugged his shoulder as if he were leaving. "Okay! Anything,only if it's something within my Capabilities," She replied hurriedly as if she couldn't wait to get rid of the two guys.
Roman smirked, he walked over to Jace first who acted bravely as if he wasn't afraid of Roman. "Trying to force yourself on a girl in the middle of the night, How Pathetic." Roman taunted, "Shut the fu*k up, you assho*le" Jace gritted his teeth and threw a Punch at Roman.
He dodged the Punch and gave him a Punch twice harder and Jace fell on his butt, the blue-haired didn't even try to help Jace, "wtf are you doing Alec!?" Jace yelled with his nose bleeding from the punch he received from Roman.
He touched his nose, noticing the blood he cursed. "You Bastard!" He stood up, trying to act tough.
"You should know if you are no match for him then so am I" Alec replied, "Don't you know how many girls fall for my face, I wouldn't want anything to ruin it." He added before smiling at Forever.
"YOU! See ya" The smile disappeared from his face, Forever's eyes slightly widened at the cold look on his face.
Roman and Jace were busy trashing it out and as expected Roman was on the winning side.
His eyes turned red, and he licked his fangs. Forever closed her eyes and opened them, she wondered if she had started seeing things now. When she looked back at him, they were back to normal. She sighed in relief.
Alec left the Alley leaving behind his Friend; Jace. Jace couldn't stand up anymore, his vision blurred. " I Promise I won't harass any girl anymore, can you let me off the hook?" He was barely able to utter those words.
"Phew!" Forever sighed in Relief, she stared at Jace and then Roman. She had been panicking about the two guys that she didn't recognize that this was her Boss' son.
His eyes narrowed at her, "Why did you let him go?" He asked in annoyance.
"Then what was I supposed to do, hold him back?" She asked back in the same tone, shocking herself.
The way he was staring at her right at that moment was so intense that she wished the land would open up and swallow her to escape from his intense gaze.
"I'll take care of him," She saw him drag Jace away to god knows where.
She stood there, doing nothing. Her heart quickened at the thought Alec could come back for her. Her eyes searched for Roman wondering what was taking him so long.
She bends down, rubbing her cold palms together in order to be warm. She lowered her head and placed it on her knees.
"You can even sleep off on water can't you?" Roman's voice jolted her awake before standing up on her feet.
"I wasn't sleeping, but Anyway Thank you." She thanked him, He didn't say anything and only smirked and Forever wondered why was that. He started walking and she quickly followed up.
"Do we tell them what happened ?" Forever asked,
"If you want," he shrugged as it didn't concern him.
Forever wondered if she should tell or not.
They both walked quietly, "Are you really a Red bel-" Forever asked to kill the silent awkwardness between them.
"Shut up," He interrupted, not interested in making conversation with her. Forever closed her mouth, zipping it tight but he didn't have to be so rude about it.
When they got home, the maids had retire to their room, only Taylor and Mrs. Moltenore weren't.
Taylor was waiting for her while Mrs Motenire was waiting for Roman.
"Roman! Where'd you been? I've been so worried." She scolded, her eyes filled with worry. Her eyes darted towards Forever and gave them a confused look.
"Ah, he saved me from a bunch of guys on the way," Forever bowed her head. Taylor came in, rushing towards Forever.
"Forever!" She yelled, embracing her. "What took you so long?" She asked, Forever smiled at Taylor, She followed Forever's gaze to see Roman and His mother.
"Welcome home young Master," She quickly bowed to Roman. "I'm going to bed," he left the room casting a shadow on Mrs. Moltenore's face.
Days passed and Forever had already forgotten about the deal she had made with Roman, as Roman didn't call for her and they haven't colluded with each other for the past few days.
The Christmas Celebration went past like the Flash of lightning.
Forever loved Christmas because of the way everywhere is always Beautiful and Bright, it makes everywhere so safe and protected.
Since what happened that day she got hijacked by two guys, She wasn't allowed to go outside the Mansion at night again.
During the New year Celebration, Mrs Moltenore was left alone by herself. Roman left saying he was going to have fun with his friends while Mr Moltenore left saying he had Work to do.
"I mean, who had work on New Year's Day!" Mrs Moltenore lightly yelled. She had assembled all the maids so she could complain about her plight to them.
"Even my son won't spend time with me," She pout, forever almost laughed seeing the Madam of the House behave that way.
"Don't you have Friends Mrs. Moltenore?" Taylor asked, and Mrs. Moltenore sneered.
"I don't have friends! I only have Enemies!" She replied.
Laughing, everyone was sure she was drunk.
All the maids looked like they were tired of her complaining to them as they had problems of their own.
"Sorry I called you here to listen to my complaints," She said, drawing her every word.
"Why don't you all make a wish and I'll make it come true," She suggested in her drunk state. The maids doubt that since anyone could say anything they didn't mean in their drunk state.
"Starting from You! Taylor," she pointed at her, Taylor smiled sheepishly.
"Ma, I'm more than content working here." She said, the other maids said the same thing believing this was a test by their Madam.
When it got to Forever's turn, she pressed her lips in a thin line. "I want to go to School," She confessed. Taylor and the other maids gasped at her Audacity.
The Truth was, Forever had always wanted to go to school. She would always see both boys and girls in school uniforms, Uniforms that look pretty.
She didn't know what they do in schools, but she was sure it was cool. If not, why would so many people attend it? But she wants to go to school.
"Forever, was it? Your Step mother abandoned you right?" Mrs. Moltenore asked thoughtlessly,
"Yes ma'am," she answered, acting unbothered by the brought up topic..
"Consider it done, then." She laughed, downing the last glass of alcohol down her throat.
"Thank you ma'am," Forever bowed her head slightly, though Mrs. Moltenore said she would have Forever go to school no one believes that.
She could wake up in the morning and not remember anything that took place that night, or she could just claim it was her drunk self saying that. Even Forever didn't expect too much.
The maids were soon allowed to go to their rooms as Mrs. Moltenore had fallen asleep. Taylor Helped her madam into her room to rest for the day.
Forever hates the topic of her step mother being brought up, the woman always acted like she loved her when her father was alive but the moment he died, she revealed her true colors.
She made her way to the Bathroom to wash up before going to bed. New Year's Eve had always been boring and quiet in the Moltenore's House but she loved it that way.
She gets very nervous and clumsy when there is a crowd in the room, she becomes uncomfortable in front of people she doesn't know.
She retired to her room after washing up, she lay on her bed staring at the ceiling. Though her childhood was full of bad mementoes there were also good mementoes and those are the only ones she wanted to keep.
She remembered when her father celebrated her 5th birthday, it was a special day for her. They went out, something they don't usually do. She didn't know why but her father despised her going out.
She smiled at the memory, relieving the feelin she felt on that day. She closed her eyes to sleep when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her tummy.
She inhaled in a sharp breath, her hands gripped her tummy as her eyes watered from the pain. "Argh…" she rolls off her bed and bend down on her knees. She dipped her head down on the bed soaking in her tears.
Her right hand still gripping her stomach, she crawled towards her luggage and brought out a small light pink nylon and quickly took out a tablet to use.
She took a bottle of water and drank it, she breathed in and out in relief. The pain started to evaporate little by little and she fell asleep in that position.
The next morning, Forever woke up in an unusual position. Her head was lying on the sides of the bed, her legs spread on the floor, one of her hands were on the bed while the other was on the floor.
She woke up late, Something she didn't always do. Her whole body was sour as if she was beaten in her sleep. She quickly washed up and went ahead to join the other maids.
She met Taylor in the living room with Mary one of the maids that isn't so fond of Forever.
"Taylor! Good Morning," forever greeted in a cheerful mood. "Forever, Morning. Did something good happen?" Taylor asked, noticing the unusual mood of her Favourite maid.
"Yes, I had a bad dream." Forever replied with a bright smile that didn't reach her eyes. Taylor furrowed her brows, staring at forever like she had grown one more head.
"Is that something to be happy about?"
"Yes! When I have a bad dream, it means something good is about to happen. Not every time tho, but I have a feeling it's gonna be good this time." Forever explained without even blinking her eyes.
"What a nut job," Mary whispered, Taylor shook her head at Forever before laughing slightly.
"That's good," She nods her head.
Forever started her work for the day, Starting with Roman's room who had gone to god knows where. He's going to resume school in a week but he doesn't seem like it at all.
She flopped on his bed, " ahh, so soft" she sighed in pleasure at the softened and bouncing of the bed. She stood up and walked over to the Waldrobe that is in perfect shape, the clothes were arranged perfectly too.
"Woah, look at this shirt! I love it so much," Forever exclaimed, examining the shirt on her body.
She dropped the shirt before hanging it back in its place.
She saw his skin care on the table across the room, "what the…" He has more than seven of them, but it was like he didn't even touch them at all. "Hmm, it smells so nice," She inhaled one of the body cream smell.
She dropped the cream back on its place, she wiped the table clean with a cloth though it was clean.
After she was done with his room though she barely did anything, she left to clean the Washroom. When she entered his bathroom, she gasped at the intensity of the Space.
His Bathroom was the size of her bedroom, it was a shock since she had never cleaned any of their Bathrooms before and Roman's the first one she'll be cleaning.
She saw everything placed in order, it was as if it's a ghost that lives there. There were nothing to arrange and she decided to wash the floors and mop them so it wouldn't be as if she didn't do anything.
After she was done with the Bathroom, She was about to leave his room when she caught sight of his underwear under the bed.
"Finally, something bad to say about him. How can someone be so flawlessly Clean!" Forever smiled to herself, she picked up the underwear in her hands looking at the Underwear like some treasure when the door suddenly opened.
She was caught by the Underwear owner, who stared at her like she had lost her mind. She stared at Roman and back to his underwear and then back to him again, she quickly hide the underwear behind her back though there was no point when he had already seen it.
His eyes held annoyance in it as usual, his midnight hair was ruffled, his shirt button opened revealing his taut muscle.
"This is a misunderstanding, I wasn't-"
"You really can't judge a book by its cover," His eyes traced down to his underwear she was hiding behind her back.
He trolled over to her before standing in front of her making her feel small as she had to look up to see his face.
"Pardon? I was cleaning your room," She tried to justify her actions.
The truth is if she was to run into a guy looking at her panties like it was some treasure, she would be weirded out so she understands how he feels about her right at that moment.
"And stealing my underwear," His eyes stared into her soul that she felt herself lost for words. She cleared her throat to gather her thought,
"I promise, I did nothing else but cleani-"
"Would a pervert admit to be one?"
"No,"
"Exactly," her eyes slight narrowed, realizing he was calling her a pervert.
"Excuse me, I-"
"Get out if you are done." His eyes held a tired look, his ruffled hair giving him a rough appearance. His eyes darted towards the underwear she was holding.
"Are you going to keep that?" He asked, Forever bolted out of her thoughts,
"Of course not!" She threw the underwear on the chair near his King Sized Bed.
She left his room, leaving for her own room as she was exhausted tho she barely cleaned anything.
"That dickhead!" She whispered underneath her breath. How dare he call her a pervert when she wasn't even doing anything.
Maybe she was wrong about the bad dream being a good one.
"Forever! Where'd you been?" One of the maids came lookin for her and forever wondered why was that.
"What is it?" She asked as it seemed to be something of importance.
"Mrs. Moltenore asked for you," she replied,
"What? Really?" Forever asked in surprise as it was rare case to be called by Mrs. Moltenore.
"Yeah, you'll find her in her room." She replied before leaving to wherever she was going.
Forever didn't waste another moment, she quickly left for Mrs. Moltenore's room.
She knocked the door to her room, before turning the knob to open the door. She counted her steps as she walked in.
She took sight of Mrs. Moltenore who was being dressed by the maids, she made a sign for them to go out of the room.
Forever quickly bowed her head, " Good Morning Ma'am"
She greeted in delayed ecstasy as to why she was called in there.
"Morning Forever, You could make a guess to why I called you in here." She says with a smile playin on her lips.
"I can't tell," Forever said carefully, Mrs. Moltenore laughed lightly making the tense air lighten up a little bit.
"I made preparations this morning with Rebecca," she informed.
" If I may ask, Preparations for what?.." Forever made sure to chose her words carefully.
"You'll be attending the same school as Roman, You'll resume Next week. Your School Uniform will be here before Next week."
What did she just Hear….? Forever asked internally.
She would go to School!!!?
