Who is Keith

Opening the door slowly, Keith's cold eyes fell upon Lucia, who was sitting up on the bed, looking around with wide, curious eyes. The room seemed foreign to her, and for good reason. It was a huge room with a queen sized bed and the room looked very luxurious, She wondered who could own such a place .

"Little one," , his voice steady and distant as ever, "How are you feeling?"

Lucia turned to face him, her brows slightly forming a frown of annoyance. "I am not a kid stop calling me that hmph" she complained as she pouted her lips as if she was wronged.

(Keith's POV)

"You should be a special one to remain this calm after being reincarnated," He replied, stepping inside the room and closing the door behind him.

Then it hit me "Oh my god!" I was really reincarnated! She exclaimed as she jumped off the bed so suddenly in surprise which resulted in her falling on he buttocks because she slipped probably because she's still weak.

"Ouch" she rubbed her innocent butt in a funny manner as her face cranked up in annoyance.

"

I shook my head at this childish behavior but didn't offer to assist her. Instead I said " You have been reincarnated and from the look of things you have all your past memories intact"

Lucia nodded, absorbing his words with fascination and still sitting on the floor rubbing her butt. "Thank you for helping me with this, Keith. I don't know how I can repay you."

I smirked as I walked closer to the weird little creature who immediately stood up as I got very close to her. I took more steps forward as she took steps backward until eventually she stopped when her back touched the wall. I came closer until there was almost no space between us. As I brought my face closer to hers she closed her eyes and faced the other way as if expecting a kiss. I simply got my face close enough to her ears and stayed like that for a few seconds before I whispered"Do you really want to repay me little one? " I raced my fingers down from her fingers to her delicate swan like neck and moved my index finger in a circular motion around her neck " I don't accept money little girl, what else can you offer to your heavenly savior?"

(Lucia's pov)

My breath hitched as he ran his fingers through mine then moved to my neck,he moved his slender cold finger in a circular motion around my neck which made me shudder. This man was dangerous for me I thought. " Uh--uh-i don't know what else to offer besides money" I struggled to utter such a simple reply " Do you perhaps like any other thing?... maybe food or sweets? I asked as I beamed at him hopefully expecting him to choose one of the options. "Hehehehe I am a renowned chef he'll definitely be great full if I make him some food or snacks hehe" I thought to my self. I was already imagining the dishes I'll have to prepare as payment and calculating my expenses when suddenly I felt him move back abruptly like something scared him.

I looked at his face but didn't notice any sign of fear but instead a look of astonishment.I heard him sigh as he switched back to being expressionless "You really are a little one , how old are you?" He asked.

For some reason this question made me feel weird " I am not little I told you already I am a young adult of twenty!" I complained as I pouted in frustration.

He just looked at me before turning around in attempt to leave the room ...when he got to the door he turned his head slightly "If you want to repay me you can start by working for me, get comfortable first you'll be staying here now. The house keeper will attend to you if you ring the bell on the top right corner right beside your bed"

He walked out and slammed the door shut.

I jumped on the luxurious soft bed and stared at the ceiling. "What is all this, how am I alive now ..... Keith...who is he really and why do I feel safe with him, ughhh! What's happening to me" I said softly in frustration

I relaxed my thoughts, and continued staring at the ceiling "Keith, who exactly is he, no what is he." I don't think it's normal for humans to do that, hell I didn't even think reincarnation existed! what is happening in my life. That man, he's dangerous I can feel it I think I should stay away from him in the future. But I can't leave for now until I repay him for his 'good deed" I rolled over and lay on the bed stomach first squeezing my head into the nearest pillow as I screamed. The sounds were muffled thanks to the pillow.

I decided to ask him about the details of my new work myself and maybe even sign a contract so I rang the bell and the house keeper came in. She's a woman in her 50's I guessed. She wasn't haggard looking she looked sophisticated an behaved with such a aristocrat mannerism that mad me question who really was the house.

She bowed courteously "Ma'am you called how may I be of service to you" . I was overwhelmed with this gesture because seeing an elderly lady greet me this was wasn't what I was used to "Cough, cough , ahem." Can you please direct me to Keith's room? I want to discuss work details with him" I spoke as politely as possible to the old lady in front of me . She bowed slightly again" I am sorry ma'am the master doesn't allow any Into his bedroom or his study, I will send word to him that you request his presence." She bowed and walked out of the room.

I sighed and walked back to the Queen sized bed. I lay softly on the bed fully embraced by the fluffy comfort of it. I stayed there lying peacefully until I fell asleep after getting tired of thinking too much about the complexity of my current situation.

A FEW HOURS LATER

(Lucia's POV)

I woke feeling refreshed as I stretched and yawned loudly. I rubbed my eyes in hopes to clear the lingering feeling of sleepiness .

I was about to leave the bed when I turned and noticed someone sitting right next to me.
