Capítulo 3: Chapter 3
The rain had stopped and now the sun can be seen shining brightly in the sky as it hovered over the dark mansion, Asher stood in front of the mirror as he buttoned his dark suit. He combed his curtain bangs and dressed his hair neatly, he didn't want the maids to do it or else he'll be late to see the duke.
He walked out of his room with one hand in his pocket while he ran the other over his hair, his eyebrow furrowed upon seeing the girl he had brought yesterday not wake up, didn't he tell Amory to use that effective tool to wake her up?.
"Seems like you like my tiles so much" Asher spoke as he stood two metres away from the girl.
"Sir she hasn't woken up yet, are you sure she's fine, does she need the doctor?" The butler asked.
"She doesn't need a doctor when I'm one myself" Replied Asher with voice full of sarcasm, he ordered for Xander to bring him a pail of water and when the man ran to quickly get the water, he handed it to his master.
The butler's eyes widen when he saw what his master was about to do, "Get me the whip in case this one is not enough" Ordered Asher again and his servant, Xander left to bring the whip.
The whip wasn't used on humans, it was used for animals and they all wondered why their master wanted to use it on this fragile looking human here, oh what have you gotten yourself into poor girl.
Whoooosh!!!
Asher poured the bucket of water over the girl's sleeping face, he thought she wouldn't wake up and was about to use the whip on her when he heard the sound of her coughing.
*Coughs Coughs
Alicia coughed out water from her mouth as she slowly sat up on the floor, her brows furrowed when she saw that she was in a strange looking building, the building looked like a castle, the furnitures, vases, flowers around here would make her think that she was in some kind of palace.
"Where am I?" She asked herself trying to remember what had happened that night when she was running with her mother ahead of her.
Yes! she was at the back and when she was trying to catch up, she slipped and hit her head on the rock, her hand slowly went up to caress her head and when she pressed it, she released a slight sound like she was hurt.
Asher had his eyebrow shot up as he stared at the girl who was still looking at her surrounding or to be correct was in a daze because she hadn't rotated that her head to look at him. The butler was looking from his master to the girl and was thinking of catching her attention but when he saw Asher's hand raised in the air, dismissing his thoughts, he stopped. His master was always ahead of him.
Alicia groaned as she slowly stood up from the ground, she still had her back facing Asher. Seeing the double doors, Alicia smiled a little as she walked towards the door to get out of whatever and wherever she was locked up in. The silly girl was actually walking towards the door thinking she could get out free.
Successfully getting to the door and about to turn the handle, she felt something prick her hand and she shrieked in pain, it was a needle.
"Arrghhhh!" Alicia groaned in pain as she removed the needle from her hand, she hastily brought her hand forward to her lips to suck on her blood that was still oozing out from the injury the needle had inflicted on her.
She hissed in pain as she turned her body to find a couple of eyes staring at her intently, one was a pair of amber eyes and the other, was the emerald eyes. The guy with the emerald eyes wore dark pant, black shirt and black suit, his hair was neatly combed. His face, oh it was so ethereal, he had such defined features that would make any woman go nuts instantly, his brows were perfectly carved, his nose, sharp and thick and his lips were thin and pink. Her eyes trailed over to his chest that looked sturdy and hard under that shirt, she wondered how many times he worked out and his legs were long and elegant. But he looked pompous, intimidating and arrogant, the way his eyebrow shot up told her head clearly to be wary of him.
And the next guy had a pair of that rested on his nose and he didn't dress as much as the first guy and his clothes were colorful unlike the first guy who looked like he was going for a funeral.
"Uhmm excuse me, do you mind showing me the way out?" Asked Alicia with her voice as smooth and sweet as honey's.
The first guy didn't bother to answer her as he walked over to the dining area to get seated at the table while the maids served him his food.
The butler also didn't reply to her making her wonder if they had ears for decorations and not for listening.
She decided to wait patiently till she got their attention.
Asher sat at the table and took the fork with his left hand and the knife with the right as he sliced the steak of meat. When the first meat got into his mouth, he frowned hard and suddenly hit the fork and knife on the table. The maids, cooks, servant rushed over to line up in front of him, that was his way of calling them if he found something stupid with the way they worked.
"Where's the cook?" Asher asked angrily as his emerald eyes glared at everyone lined up in the dining room, the cooks looked at each other before one suddenly stepped out to admit that he indeed cooked the food.
"And what's with this meat? did you taste it before serving me?" He demanded, he didn't expect an answer to that question because normally, a cook wouldn't be so foolish to taste his master's food before serving it.
"N-N-No sir" The cook answered stammering.
"Come forward" Asher proposed as he used his hand to beckon on the man to come closer to him, when the man got closer to him, with his head bowed. "Now taste it" Asher spoke.
The cook gulped as he took the meat with his hand and ate it, his eyes widened in shock when he found out that salt was took much, but how come, he had added the appropriate amount into it, 'how did it become this much' he asked himself as he forcefully swallowed the salty meat.
"And you want me to finish that" Asked Asher as he jerked his head towards the direction of the food, his mood was already spoilt today because of this cook.
"No, No sir, someone must have framed me, please I'm so-"
The man couldn't complete his statement because his head was snapped off by Asher. Alicia had her eyes widen in horror, what the hell just happen, the head, was separated from the body by him! She looked around to see that the other maids were not looking baffled, it was as if they expected it from him while her, she was looking at him with eyes widened in horror.
'No no no, I must save myself from here' Alicia said to herself as she shook her head, she started walking with her back, this was just too much. Why did he punish the cook because of that small mistake and why was she still here, why was she still in his house with this man that's nothing less than a monster.
She ran towards the door in an attempt to open it but before she got there, Asher had appeared right before her, she stumbled on his hard chest making her fall on the ground.
