Chapter 1 Krisna Heberth
Krina’s POV
It is a rainy night, I am still caught up on work as I still have to prepare tea as she requested specifically to be perfect or whatever that means. I do my best around the mansion as I know I’m the only one competent enough to even run the mansion by myself, once she will finish the tea I am preparing, I still couldn’t have a rest since I still had to clean up, wash the dishes and wash her clothes.
The night was perfect for me, it was raining and it was cold, I loved the silence, just me and no one else. For the first time in my life, I am actually enjoying what I am doing at the moment. I forget about everything and just focus on the dark and empty space outside as I stare out into the kitchen window while doing the dishes.
“Hey! You wash my clothes now! I don’t like this tea, make one again!” She suddenly entered the kitchen furiously and yelled at me for almost no reason at all.
When I actually see her face, I can see it steaming with fury. I don’t know if she is always like this or not.
“Do you hear me? I’m not going to repeat it again, so you better listen attentively.” She stormed out and left the room, I am not sure what my reaction is supposed to be. When I brought her tea earlier, she was ecstatic, she was excited to drink, but suddenly she was furious at me. I’m sure that I do not deserve being treated like this, but I just live with it, by not asking questions and focusing on my own business.
“I’m listening to you, Ms. Olimp. I’m just finishing the dishes and I’ll start working on your breakfast for tomorrow as soon as possible.” I told her with a huge fake smile, I hope she bought it as I don’t think I can genuinely smile at her. Her whole existence to me is revolting, it’s a good thing she can’t read minds.
That was the Alpha’s daughter, the woman I work for, Asthrid Olimp. I may not like it here, but it’s not like I have much of a choice, I’m still grateful that I get to have a roof under my head and food that comes with it.
“Krisna Heberth!” Asthrid came in the kitchen again, she looked like she was having a fit.
“Do not forget, or else, I’ll make sure that you will be forgotten.” She threatened me with those words, this woman is unbelievable. Everything I do in this mansion is essential, I tend to almost every problem here, and this is how I still get treated. But that doesn’t matter, I just have to live with it for now.
She may think of me as someone lower than a human, but I know that she is just like that. I’ll make sure that she likes how I wash her dresses. But, I must not let her irritating mood and horrible aura coming out from her ruin my night.
After having one of my worst nights of sleep in my entire life, I still had to get up early in the morning to make her breakfast, but before I even got to get up, Asthrid burst into my quarters and approached me. “Hey maid! Why aren’t you up yet? Get up, do your job, and don’t be a lazy bum! Do you want me to make your life miserable?” She was yelling at me before I even got the chance to get up, it was almost five in the morning.
“Sorry Ms. Olimp, I just had a bad night.” I said to her as I hesitated to talk.
She just looked at me straight in my eyes, and stared at me like she was about to do something horrible to me. “So? Do you think I care about your night? No, your night doesn’t matter, in fact your whole existence doesn’t matter. So make yourself useful for once and get up!”
Even if she keeps saying stuff like that to me with no hesitation whatsoever, I just do everything I can not to say a word to her since I know that defending for myself at the moment won’t help me, especially with her.
She was about to leave my quarters when she suddenly stopped walking and looked at the pencil holder in my small dresser. “Hmm… I wonder what this would feel like.” She uttered those words in an intrigued tone of voice as she grabbed it immediately.
A couple of moments later, she then turned to my direction and just threw the pencil holder at me for no reason at all, she hit me right on my forehead which caused a little bump to appear.
“So that’s how it feels like… Okay, carry on.” She said to herself as she left the room.
I don’t know what was that all about, but I know that she just hates me at this point.
The time had finally come for me to clean her room. I just had to bring her coffee to her first.
The moment I came out of the kitchen and brought the coffee to her.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
I was waiting for her reaction the moment she tasted the coffee, but the moment she tasted it, her enthusiasm and her face suddenly changed. I knew that I was about to get a mouthful from her, but that wasn’t what I was worried about. It was the coffee that I made with passion. I knew just from the look on her eyes that she hated it.
“What is this? This is garbage. Did you get this from the dumpster outside? Or is this really how you make a simple cup of coffee?”
I was speechless, I couldn’t talk back to her, but I knew I had to say something as she was waiting for me to respond. I had to choose my words carefully. “I’m so sorry Ms. Olimp.
She stood up and approached me. “Really? You are sorry?!” She said then threw the cup on the floor then yelled at me again.
“Clean that mess! I don’t want to see any sign of dirt in there!”
