Chapter 9.

SELENE

I blinked a few times after hearing his words, the gentleman that I am yet to find out his name. 

"You're kidding right," I inquired. I couldn't comprehend why a demon would be against a demon but I didn't care, as long as he could help me. 

"How are you sure that he won't kill me instead" I arched my eyebrow questioning and a dry laugh escaped his lips

"I'm sure but if you doubt me then it shows that you're not ready to gain your freedom, do not waste my time young lady! And stop asking me questions when you know deep down that I'm right but still your heart refuses to believe a demon" His words hit my ear and I stared deeply into his eyes.

"You don't seem to trust me only because you don't trust yourself, someone else is willing to pay the price of letting you free, and don't worry, it was a mutual agreement..."

"Just get out of here, I'll do as you say, I'll give him hell."

 He laughed and patted my shoulders, "He's the ruler of hell so he isn't scared of hell, I'd advise you to give him something worse than hell." He continued, "No one has ever disobeyed him, no has ever resisted him, Do all these and he'll hate you and let you go" 

"Okay," I heaved a long sigh and gingerly sat properly on the chair without taking my eyes off him. 

"I'll come to check on you from time to time, just to know the progress and tell you the next step to take, okay?" He positioned the cloak properly and was about to leave when turned to him.

"I don't know your name!"

"Recon!" He uttered and vanished. 

The room became silent and I tried to breathe properly but I couldn't because I hadn't been in a situation like this before. A situation where I didn't know who to trust and my only choice was to trust a demon, a demon whom I knew nothing about.

I closed my eyes as I tried to rest my body on the bed. "Argh" I roared in anger and jumped from my bed. I threw my hands up to my hair and bit my lips in frustration. I felt the urge to scatter everything that my eyes could see but I didn't want my anger to mislead me. Instead, I'll channel that anger to something else. 

I swiftly walked into the bathroom and had a cold shower, as the water ran through my body, I looked around and scoffed as I noticed how the window was built, "No one would dare to break into this place, so what was the need of this tight security," I sighed in frustration realizing that they were no escape for me expect Devon lets me go himself. 

...

My eyes flew open the second I heard the door of the room creak open. "We have to get you ready to have breakfast with our Master," The blonde hair maid from yesterday said

"Tell your master that I'm not having breakfast!" I abruptly said and used the pillow to cover my face.

"We are following orders ma'am and we have to get you ready even if we have to force you out of bed," She said but I ignored her and hissed

"Rita, we'll have to drag her out of bed," The blonde hair girl said to her friend

"Don't fucking touch me, okay? I just asked you to tell your master that I'm not having breakfast and you should obey me," I said in a rage but my words fell on a deaf ears. Rita dragged my legs and the other maid carried my hand and dragged me to the bathroom. 

"Let me go, are you all insane?! I can have my bath myself" I roared.

"You gave us no choice ma'am" Rita spoke

"Okay, okay, I'll have my bath myself, just let me go and I'll comply," I said. I suspected that the maids were also demons because of their strength, although I used my werewolf strength to fight them back, my strength couldn't match their strength.

They let go of me and stood by the door and stared at me, "Privacy" I coughed. They exited the bathroom leaving me alone. I leaned against the wall, heaving a long sigh of relief.

Taking off my clothes, I gazed at my reflection in the mirror and brushed my teeth. After brushing my teeth, I stood under the shower and gently scrubbed my body with the new sponge and soap in the bathroom. 

After rinsing my body, I exited the room with a towel wrapped around my chest only to find the two maids still handing, making me wonder if they don't get tired at all.

I gaze at the clothes that they brought for me to wear and the Jewelry resting on the bed. There was not my style of fashion and no way was I going to wear it

"Try this cloth on," The maid said, she wasn't polite, just like her Master. The only order they obey is direct orders from their Master. "I don't like it" I responded and turned away from them. 

"Don't make us force you ma, wear the clothes so that you can report to my Master." The blonde hair maid said. I noticed that Rita leaned closer to the blonde-haired maid and whispered to her, "Don't you think that you're too harsh, Mary." 

I narrowed my eyes after hearing her name, "Why the hell is she my mother's name sake" I thought and dragged the cloth from the bed. 

"I'll try it on." I uttered and walked into the closet. The material of the cloth was too thick and I couldn't but I had no choice but to try it on. After putting on the long sequin dress, I put on the heels that the maid brought along with it before exiting the closet

"Our master has a good sense of fashion." They complimented and I stared down at the dress in disgust, instead of them complimenting how beautiful it looked on me, they complimented Devon's sense of fashion.
