Chapter 3

---Emma's PoV---

My sleep gets disturbed by a baby laughing in my ear.

It's my ringtone. 

With my eyes still closed, I took my phone and answered the call.

"Hello!" I speak in my half awake state.

"Congratulations Miss Casey, you are selected for the job of Servant Manager. You need to come tomorrow for the orientation,"

"At 11 am. Don't be late." She finished, she hung up making me to jump and sit on the bed.

'It's the voice of that same vampire from the Palace.'

'You are really selected.' I don't know if I should celebrate or mourn right now.

(** Next Morning **)

'Wake up, wake up, wa-' 

I turn off the alarm and stretch lazily. I get up from my bed and walk straight to the washroom. 

Waking up early isn't a problem for me. When I was in the MMA Club, I used to wake up at four o'clock, sometimes even at three because of the punishment. 

After doing my business, I came out of the washroom and worked out for approx. two hours. 

I rested for a while, so that my body can cool down.

After cooling down, I went to take a bath.

After bathing and shaving my legs I move out. I moved to the dressing table and applied moisturizer all over my body.

Then I wear a white shirt with dark grey pencil skirt.

I applied mascara and lipstick. 

After brushing my hair and spraying perfume on myself, I head down to the kitchen. 

"Good morning my babydoll," I hear Bella. 

'Babydoll?' What's up with her? I slowly walk to her.

"See, I made breakfast for you." She says as I sit on the chair.

She places the plate in front of me.

'Nutella bread!'

Then she gently places a glass full of chocolate shake beside it.

Why is she acting so sweet? Definitely need something. 

"Thanks?" I speak, not sure of what else I should say. I'm not used to this type of behavior of hers.

She sits beside and stares at me with a huge smile on her face.

'Is she possessed?' I don't know.

"Okay, what do you want?" I ask her because this whole situation is really getting uncomfortable. I can't even eat this tasty breakfast with her looking at me like this.

"Nothing, I'm just bored." She said, still smiling. Definitely not nothing.

"How lucky you are, you'll be seeing that hot beast everyday!!" She said after a pause. I know who she's talking about.

"I heard his brothers are hot too. I wish I could marry one of them." She is talking to herself, like literally to herself right now.

"Aye, will you help me to meet the King? Or any of his hot brothers?" She said holding my arm with both of her hands and smiling creepily. 

'Okay, time to leave.' Actually yes!

I get up from the chair. I gulp the whole glass of milk in one breath and move out of the kitchen.

I whip off any milk on my lips by the cloth hanging at the kitchen door before taking the car keys and running towards the door.

"Hey, you didn't eat the bread" I hear her shouting behind me.

"I'm getting late." I yell and leave for the palace.

She really needs to find a job asap. 

.

.

It's quarter to eleven and I just parked my car in the parking lot of the Palace and oh my God, the cars which I've never thought I'll be seeing in my life, are here.

'The king is extra loaded!'  Does he even need any type of transportation facility? He can go anywhere on his own with the extraordinary speed he has.

But still every latest model of the top cars is parked under this one roof. This is literally spellbinding me.

I take out my phone and click a picture of the Ferrari, just then I hear a vroom-vroom noise.

I turn into the direction of the noise and my eyes pop out of their sockets. Is that…!?

FUCK.! 

IT IS LYKAN HYPERSPORT.!!!

The car slowly approaches me and stops about one feet away from me. 

'This is so beautiful!' This is probably the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I take a few steps towards the car. 

"Wow!" I whispered. 

"What are you doing here?" I jump because of the sudden loud interference.

I look above to see King slightly leaning against Lykan. I was so engrossed in checking out the lavish front look of this car that I did not notice him coming out of it.

"I'm looking at this car?" I said. 

"You came to check out the cars, human?" He asks, in his usual cold tone.

"No, King." I say, looking at him.

So he wants to say, that besides seeing the Palace and meeting the servants, I should close my eyes to everything else !?

"To my study in one minute." He disappears after speaking. 

And I gape at where he was just standing. Such an incredible power they've got, disappear whenever you want.

My gaze moves to the Lykan. You are truly the real beast.

After taking the picture of the car, I quickly head out of the parking lot. 

I'll be going there more often.

I walk through the garden, then the ballroom, carefully on the staircase and lastly the corridor. 

And I knock as I reach his room.

"Come in." I hear him. I open the gate.

"You're late." He spats as I step inside. 

I looked at my watch. I'm just 15 seconds late, now 16, 17, 18, 19-

'Okay, stop!' 

I move in and close the door behind me. 

I take a few steps and speak, 

"I apologize for not having the inhuman speed like you."

Huh. Who does he think he is?

He's still looking at me with his eyes holding no emotion.

"Sit." He says by sitting in his King-sized chair.

I walk towards him and sit on the chair placed in front of him.

"Before the Palace tour, there are some basic rules you need to follow no matter what." He speaks as I settle.

I nodded. 

"First of all, you will answer with words." He says, irritation is evident in his voice. 

"What's the difference between the two?" I asked while a titter escaped. 

"You'll not talk back or argue with me. GOT IT?" He shouts by standing up from his chair. 

'Ohh!' I leaned back a little at his action. Did I make him angry?

I looked into his eyes, they are brighter than before. I really did!

"Do you get that?" He yells again.

"Yes, king." I speak. He is dangerous.

And he, after throwing anger-filled daggers on me, sits back in his place.

"You'll be working six days a week from 9 am to 9 pm." WHAT!?

My eyes open in shock but immediately go normal after looking his angry face. 

"Your salary will be $9000 a month." Somebody tell this vampire that one needs time to spend money. When will I spend them? In my dreams? I should work in my dreams as well...

"You can't take any day off on your own." He continues.

"What if I'll fell sick?" I ask and his eyes immediately go bright again before shouting.

"I DON'T CARE! And did I give you the permission to talk back!?" 

Umm, should I say 'no' or should I stay quiet? 

"DID I?!"

"No, King." I immediately speak. 

"Last warning to you." He says in a dangerously calm tone. 

'He looks even more sexy like this!' Seriously ?!

I'm now running out of patience. What if he's the King, I'm just asking simple questions. 

'It's clearly seen that he is not used to people talking back to him.' Well, then I'm, too, not used to tolerate this type of behavior. And I never will be.

"And the last thing, you'll obey whatever I will say to you." He finished. 

"What?" I said with a laugh. He might be kidding.

I look at him, he is boiling in anger right now. 

But there's no way I'll just obey whatever he says. I won't be fucking pigs if he'll say!!

The laugh fades from my face as I see him. His eyes aren't showing any sign of red, they are black right now. 

This man has really got some serious issues.

"I a-" 

In a blink of an eye, I hear a thud sound and feel a sharp pain in my back. My arms are squeezed tightly and when I open my eyes, I'm aligned to a broad black shirt with buttons. 

That's when I registered that I'm harshly pushed to a wall with King holding my arms tightly.

 I hiss, as I feel agony around my lower back.

"Why can't you just shut your mouth?" He shouts and I close my eyes reflexively. 

Before my mind could think, my mouth opens, 

"Why can't you talk without getting angry?" My eyes go wide because of the words I said out that loud. I am dead now...

"You-"
