Chapter 2
I almost never make anything that wasn’t to her liking.
“I’m sorry again Ms. Olimp, when I tasted it, nothing was off or wrong about it.” I said with full confidence.
She acted high and mighty in front of me. “So you’re saying that I’m lying? You’re saying that I didn’t like the coffee even though it was delicious? Is that what you’re implying right now?” She tried to make me look like a fool, but I also couldn’t talk back as I knew that it would only make things worse.
“No ma’am, what I’m saying is…” She then turned around before I got to finish what I was saying.
She grabbed my hair and pulled down the floor and yelled at me again.
“There! Taste it since you said it was good! Lick the floor!”
At this point, I just couldn’t talk anymore as she was escalating everything.
A couple of moments later, she slapped me right in my face while she was pushing my head down the floor. I was about to fight back to defend myself when she threw the cup holder made in my face. “That’s what you get for your lousiness!” She said to me straight in my face with no hesitation whatsoever.
I just couldn’t take it anymore and just kneeled on the ground as I was still shocked that she did that to me.
“When I tell you to make a perfect coffee, just follow my orders so I don’t have to do this to you, okay?” She smiled at me as she said those words with sarcasm.
She just stared at me kneeling on the floor for a couple of seconds before leaving the room. I was humiliated, and I couldn’t do a single thing to defend myself.
I was thinking if she was also like this to other people, but whenever I see her alone with someone else, she treats them with respect, or at least to some degree to being respected. But she never humiliates them like what she does to me, I knew I was something unique to her since she almost let everything out, her anger and issues onto me.
But I know the real reason why she’s like this to me, it had something to do with my mother, the night Asthrid Olimp was born, my mother Celine who was a beta was not able to save her mother when she had an emergency birth earlier than expected.
My mother was stationed at a post with the sole purpose of taking good care of the Luna. There was an attack to the pack that night. After the attack it came out form a few investigations that my mother had left her post making the Luna vulnerable to being killed. She has to leave for a while to save Asthrid because she was not breathing when she was pulled out from her mother. During the attack, the Luna was killed in the middle of the battle.
After some time. Alpha Jaster fell for the Beta Celine, my mother.
My mother on the other hand, died during childbirth, they had no way of knowing that she was going to lose her life by giving birth to me.
After the horrific events happening almost after year to another thinking that my mother was the bad luck for the pack, the regarded me being the offspring of a person with so much bad lucks, they took off my rights as a member of the highest ranking in the kingdom. Out of mercy I was taken in as a maid.
Krisna’s POV
A couple of days later after being humiliated again, I wasn’t sure at the moment on how I would proceed with talking to Asthrid again. Every time she walked past me in the kitchen, she just looked at me with a deadly glare in her eyes. I don’t know if she was still angry at me or not, but her look to me suggests otherwise.
It was a sunny morning again, I was hearing birds chirp outside, the sunshine beaming through the kitchen windows as I prepared her breakfast again. I was thinking twice about making her the same meal I made her a couple of days prior, but I knew inside of me that I had to try again. And so, I went to pick up the ingredients in the garden, but this time, I made sure that it would actually taste to her liking. If not, then I guess what I’m doing at the moment will just be a waste of time and useless.
“What’s taking you so long?!” Again, she was irritated early in the morning. I don’t know what caused her to be like this, but she might just need her morning coffee or something. “Almost done ma’am! I just need a couple of moments.” I said to her in a gentle voice to make sure that she doesn’t throw another one of her tantrums, but deep inside, I wanted to shout at her as well. Let all of my feelings be expressed about how I felt about her. But doing so will give me a permanent ban. Instead I should focus on what matters at the moment and that is making her a meal that will satisfy her.
After almost ten minutes, I was able to season the meal to the point where it tasted like I bought it from a restaurant. I was very confident that she would like this dish, so I took it out from the kitchen and handed it to her with pride.
“This better not be the same garbage you tried to feed me last time, and where is my coffee?” She was still grumpy, I couldn’t wait to see the look on her face when she feasts on the meal I made.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“I’ll bring it out at once!” I acted confident in front of her, I was waiting for her to dig in, but she wouldn’t even lay a finger on it without her coffee. After giving Asthrid her troublesome coffee, I was waiting for the moment of truth, if she would like it or just react the same way last time.
But before she could even touch her fork, another one of her servants suddenly entered the room. “Ms. Olimp, he is here.” He said to her with a serious tone in his voice as he didn’t even show a single expression.
