Chapter 9

Emma's PoV. 

"The new manager will serve me." I hear Royal Jack. I immediately look at him and see him smiling, evilly. His eyes showing the same bright red color which I saw yesterday. Oh man!

I turn my head to Miranda, she's already looking at me with her icy blue eyes full of shock. Not only her, everyone is looking at me with eyes either full of shock or pity. 

I look at King, he seems unbothered and eating his appetite. 

"Come here, now." I hear him again, this time harsher. I walk towards him and stop at a distance of one feet. 

"What would you like to have?" I ask.

"Who will add Royal Jack?" He spoke in a calm plus warning like tone.

"I'm sorry, Royal Jack." I say.

"Since you are so cute I forgive you. But next time you'll be punished." He turns to me as he speaks the last sentence.

Punish? Me?

 My eyes involuntarily goes to King, he's already looking at Royal Jack and his eyes are reflecting a brighter shade of red. 

I look back at Royal Jack and nod.

I served him whatever he wanted to eat. I didn't move back to Miranda as he asked me to stay behind him all this time.

After I guess half an hour, everyone was done with their meals.

I notice the servants are taking back the cutleries of the royals they were serving, I should do the same. 

I move to take the plates and glasses placed in front of Jack. 

"I've never smelled blood like yours. It seems divine." Jack whispered leaning towards me. I turned my head in his direction, I can see his fangs.

I immediately look back and hurriedly take the glasses and plates.

Just in time, I feel a hand on my waist.

"Don't touch me." I shout while jerking off Royal Jack's hand. And I heard a loud shattering sound, the plates slipped out of my hand.

"You dared to shout at me, bitch!" He yells, standing up from his chair. I look up and see his hand swings to slap me, I close my eyes frantically, but the hand never came.

I open my eyes and see King holding his hand while Jack is hissing in pain. King throws him like a ball at the end of the hall. 

I shut my mouth with my hands, to avoid making any noise.

 King turns his head and looks at me, his eyes are no longer showing the red color, they are all black.

And the next second, he rashly holds my hand and starts to drag me out. 

"King, the plates." I said. He stops and turns around. He's full of rage.

"I dropp-ed them by mistake." I said looking down. I've never seen him like this, and this is actually scary. 

I even don't know where he is taking me and I don't want to go anywhere with him like this.

"Other servants will take care of it. You don't have to worry." He shouts, his voice is still over fueled with anger. I'm pretty sure he has got some serious anger issues.

I didn't dare to speak this time.

He holds my arm and starts to drag me again, I increase my pace to match his or otherwise I'll fall.

As we move out of the dining hall, he starts to walk even faster.

"King, I'll fall. You are too fast." I said. He huffs in annoyance and jerks off my hand.

 I instinctively close my eyes and immediately open as I feel arms around my waist and legs. 

"Hold me tight or get ready to fall." He speaks and I look at him in shock before promptly intertwining my hands around his neck. The next moment I feel wind slapping me for less than a second and everything goes normal again.

I slowly open my eyes and find myself in my room. I look above to see him already looking at me. His eyes don't reflect anger anymore, it's the same cold expression now. I guess anger is the only emotion he can feel beside being cold and arrogant. 

But his face, it's equivalent to some Greek God. Men, this handsome like him, should be banned.

 I feel my butt clashing hard against the ground. Did he just leave me!? 'Yes!'

I immediately stood up. I don't understand why the most dishy people are assholes.

"Hey, yo-" I didn't even finish speaking and he disappeared, leaving me to gape at the place he was just standing right now.

.

( Next Day )

"Hey, we are going to the club on the coming sunday." Bella shouts as I leave the house.

"Okayy." I reply.

I look at my watch one more time as I sit in the car. It's 9.00 a.m., which means I'm late.

I quickly start the engine and drive off. I just hope King won't notice it. He already shouts at me for no reason and this time when he actually got a reason, I don't know what else he will do apart from shouting. 

My phone rings as I drive. I see the name. Baby🖤.

I close my eyes in irritation. What is his problem? Can't he just leave me alone!? I silenced my phone and focused on driving. 

The phone rings again and that's enough to boil my blood.

"What?" I shout as I pick the call.

"Emma, I want to talk. Please at least hear me out once." I hear the same filthy voice. 

"Shut up and don't call me again." I spat before hanging up.

I need to change the name. He's not my baby anymore, he's my ex boyfriend. Ronn.

We dated for one year before he cheated on me, he was laughing at my face with his new girlfriend snaked into his arms and now after six months of our breakup, that dickhead wants a second chance. It's awful that he thinks I'll give him.

I park my car and rush to the Palace, taking my purse with me.

I look around, my servants are already doing their work. I missed our morning greetings which we do before going to work. I hope they did in my absence. 

Everyone greets me as I walk in, I return the same.

"EMMA!"
