Emily doesn't know how long she slept; she looks out the window and the sun is already high in the sky. It seems all the fatigue came last night. She feels much better. She remembers the scene she saw during the early hours and has no interest in seeing anything like that. She's going to take a shower. Actually, she didn't know what to do there. Everything was strange. She knew how to take care of a farm, even though she came from a good family, she liked to help take care of the animals and plant. She didn't even seem like the owner's daughter, but that place was strange; the city seemed like another world that she didn't like.
She couldn't take the inheritance, but she would still receive a monthly allowance from the lawyer. How has her life changed so much in such a short time? She gets ready, and when she looks at the clock, it's already lunchtime, and as expected, everything was delicious.
She didn't see that woman or Lucian, and it wasn't something she desired. She liked it that way.
Maid = Miss, your lawyer has passed on all the paperwork from your school. You're in your last year, aren't you?
Emily = Yes...
Maid = Your registration has been made at the school here in the neighborhood; you'll start next week.
She hadn't thought about that, but she was happy. She wanted to finish her studies to go to college. It would be strange without her friends. What awaits her in this new world? Everything is a mixture of feelings. She finishes lunch and decides to take a walk around the garden. It was huge, and she didn't know anything yet. Of course, she wasn't going to go snooping, remembering Lucian's warning. She didn't see him during the day.
Emily takes a walk and sees the gardener. It was just him and the maid in the house. It was kind of unfair to have only two people to take care of such a big house.
Gardener = Hey girl, don't touch those; they're poisonous.
Emily almost grabbed some blue roses that were there in the garden. They were incredibly beautiful.
Emily = Why have something like that in the garden?
Gardener = The boss has a peculiar taste, but I confess that they have incredible beauty, don't they? They're just deadly, but they have their beauty.
That was true, but it was still strange.
Gardener = You can touch all of them, but not those. See, everything in the garden has a lighter color, except for those in the blue tone.
Emily = I understand. Do you need help?
Gardener = Absolutely not, you don't need to. If the boss sees, he won't like to see someone from his family helping.
Emily = I'm not from his family. I'm so bored.
Gardener = I understand. You can help me water the roses then.
Emily = I'd love to. I helped a lot on my mother's farm.
Gardener = So you have experience with the land? These delicate hands don't look like it.
Emily = Just appearances, but I know how to work well.
Emily wanted to occupy her head; she didn't want to cry anymore about what had happened. The gardener was a very gentle old man. She grabs the hose and waters the rose beds.
Gardener = Sir, good afternoon.
Emily turns in the direction he was speaking. Lucian was standing there, and the water hit him squarely. Emily is almost in a panic when he takes it from her hand and throws it away. He was dressed up with a tie and tie pin. Seeing him take off his coat and tie and throw them on the floor indignantly, seeing that defined body with the shirt stuck to it, there was no way not to look, it was right in front of her.
Lucian = Are you blind, by any chance?
Emily = I'm sorry, I didn't see you there.
Lucian = Besides blind, you're deaf too.
Emily = You're an ignorant.
Seeing that the gardener leaves, did she do wrong in saying something like that? Seeing how he got even more furious, his hatred only grew for her. He grabs her by the arm and takes her inside the house.
Emily = Let me go.
He completely ignores her requests. Emily sees herself being taken up the stairs and then into her room. He throws her on the bed. But what was happening there?
Emily = You have no heart.
Lucian = Good, you ungrateful and spoiled girl. I want you to think that, I have no interest in pleasing you in anything.
Emily sees him taking off his shirt and then his pants. What does he think he's doing? She gets up and goes to the door when he puts himself in front of her, his gaze furious. He pulls her arm and puts the wet clothes in her hand.
Lucian = You're a spoiled girl who thinks there are no consequences to your actions. You got me wet, so you're going to dry them. Take these clothes and go wash them.
Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing. He was really doing this, and the worst part was just in his underwear in front of her.
Emily = I'm not your maid.
Lucian = You wouldn't even be good for that... Accept your CONSEQUENCES, return the favor of being under my protection.
Emily looks at him with hatred; she had a huge desire to slap that scoundrel in the face, but she knew that it wouldn't even tickle. She just holds the wet clothes tightly. He was going to pour all the hatred he had on top of her, and Emily was exhausted with everything that happened and the losses she had. Seeing her own hatred in his eyes, she apologized for getting him wet, but this man only understood what was brutal in life. She tries to pass by him, but he grabs her arm and whispers in her ear.
Lucian = Wash, dry, iron, and bring them to my room.
Emily pulls her arm away and leaves the room. That jerk. She didn't hate him, but that feeling was already being born. The man was as cold as a stone. Emily goes down to the laundry room; she wasn't going to deny that she had maids for this at home.
Maid = What are you doing, dear?
Emily sees her coming in with some towels and looks at the wet clothes in her hand.
Emily = Lucian asked me to wash them; I got him wet accidentally.
Maid = Miss, I'm sorry, but I can't help with that.
Seeing her leaving, it seems that everyone there feared him, and if it was a punishment, no one had permission to help her. Emily didn't know why, but in her head came the image of him just in his underwear. Why was he doing this to her? Her body shivers for no reason. He wanted to make her suffer, and she already realized that, but the question was how much she could take. She learned one thing: stay out of his way. She would avoid that man as much as possible.
