2024-10-29 19:42:56"Here is the key to the mansion"
"Thank you" Allicia stated softly, a slight smile lit up her face and her deep brown eyes glinted with pure innocence.The middle-aged man nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face. He appeared to be pleased with the young lady. She was a lady like every other one that had worked in the place before but at least, she had a peaceful demeanor that neither of the ones from the past had. And those doe-like eyes of hers did not conceal greed and curiousity like the others that he had met before. If she contained herself well during this period, perhaps, she could survive the next three months of the recovery…"Ahem-" The middle-aged man cleared his throat and drew back from his drifting thoughts. He placed the bunch of keys in the opened palm of the girl. "You can call me Felix by the way" he added."Yes, Master Felix" Allicia voiced politely. Her pearl white teeth shone as she smiled. She carefully hid away the bunch of keys that she received in the pocket of her skirt. It made a weird shaped bump appear at the corner of her skirt. She did not mind this at all."Hm-" Felix made a small throaty noice. "Now that you are going to work here, do you still recall the three grand rules you have pledged to obey?" He questioned the girl dropping her gaze to meet hers.Allicia nodded and swiftly moved her gaze away from his. Her cheeks tainted slightly as she blushed. Pardon her innocence for she was only a young girl who was yet to see much of the world. How could she bear to look at the good-looking man who looked nothing like his age for that long?She intended to steal a glance at him but she was afraid to be caught by his sharp gaze. The gaze that reminds her of her father, he used to look at her sharply like that when he was still alive. She used to be so afraid that she would easily hide to avoid his gaze. She was eighteen years now but she was still so afraid to meet other people's eyes. Even if she was so fierce, she would not meet other's eyes.Inspite of this challenge, Allicia was rather pleasantly surprised each time she stole a glance at the man's face. His elderly face was wrinkle-free, he had thick dark brows, honeyed dark eyes and his dark hair that crowned his head. Aside from the pictures of the celebrities that she often saw a few times on the front page of a magazine she saw in a stranger's hand on the bus, she had never met anyone so good-looking up close. She blushed and gazed at the floor while playing with the hem of her dress nervously.Unaware of what was playing in the head of the girl, Felix looked at her seriously. "State the rules" he suddenly ordered.Allicia almost felt her heart jump but she was certain it skipped a beat when she head the man's deep voice again. "Uh… Stay away from the room at the extreme end of the east wing... Be quiet as much as possible.... Leave at once when the second hand struck 5pm, not a second late!" Those were the three grand rules that she received when she first came to the place, she knew them by heart already. Even if she was asked in her sleep, she was certain she would repeat the words without missing a letter.Felix smiled and nodded. He was pleased with her response. Compared to the others he had met before, this one appeared to be smart. Hopefully, she would not be a disaster like the others were.Just as he had done to her, everytime he employed a new caretaken for the mansion, he would always give them the same rules. It was indeed easier to know the rules by heart but they always happen to break the simple rules.For some reasons, they disturbed the peaceful atmosphere of the mansion, attempted to sleepover, or snuck into the forbidden room… The ending was never good."It is good that you remember, I hope you keep the rules with all your heart" Felix commanded sternly.Allicia nodded seriously, she promised to keep the rules. She really hope she would keep the job for the three months it was going to last."Very well then, I will be out of town for a while and I will only return on the fifteenth day of each month before your last working day. If you work as you should, a huge reward awaits you after the three months. Miss Allicia, I look forward to a great coorperation with you" Felix uttered and stuck out his hand.Allicia shook hands with him shyly before drawing her hands back."I will be leaving now" Felix said, he threw one last look at Allicia before turning around and picked his steps.Allicia quickly followed him out of the mansion. She stopped at entrance of the mansion and did not take any further step forward. She watched as Felix looked back at the mansion, nodded at her before he got into the car that was waiting for him. The car drove out of the lawn, Allicia watched until it disappeared from her sight. The car quickly disappeared from her and was buried under the covers of the woods around the mansion. It was funny how anyone would build a mansion in such a lone place. She shrugged and turned around. Just as she was about to walk back into the house, she paused and tilted her head to a certain direction. Something flickered across her eyes and she arched a brow. She pursed her lips slightly, she thought something was there… Her intuition was always on point. But, she erased the thoughts and walked into the mansion.Just then, at a corner in the dark place, two figures exchanged glance.She did not see us right? The first figure spoke with his eyes and the other just shrugged, I bet she did not. He answered without speaking. Just like that, they ignored the girl and kept guarding the place in the dark.With that, Allicia's life began...Related chapters
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS Someone In The Mansion?
Allicia sat by the window and gently pushed up the window pane. A gush of fresh air blew across her face and her hair danced alongside the breeze. Her elbow propped up on the desk in front of her, she cupped her face in her palm and her weight rested on her elbow. She watched the branches and leaves of the trees sway in the tune of the gentle breeze. She had slowly gotten used to being alone in the mansion especially after she had stayed there for a week and more. The nature of her job in the mansion was quite simple, she just cleaned up a few places and prepared her own meals. She lived in the mansion all day as though she owned the place and she only left when it was evening. She had gotten used to the routine. In the big house, it was just her… or so she thought. Actually, she wondered if she was truly alone or if there was some other person who was there with her. It was always eerily silent in the mansion but there had been times when her ears picked up tiny sounds that seemed
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS A Man In The Mansion.
Time flew very fast and it was just three days for her work in the mansion to be concluded. Allicia could not hide the smile that graced her red lips, the times that she had spent in the mansion had been the most peaceful moments all her life. At that time, even her skinner figure had become slightly rounder. All she did every day was eat and sit by the window, singing with the birds that kept her company. She was happy during this period and was even happier that her job at the mansion was coming to an end soon. She knew that she was a step to fulfiling her dreams. She would get a recommendation from Master Felix to go to one of the best colleges in the world and she would become a successful woman. The thoughts alone made her eyes glitter with glee. She reflexively tilted her head at a certain direction and her eyes fell on the wall clock at the corner of the room, the second hand ticked while the minute stopped on the '12' figure and the hour hand was directly '5', it was five on
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS You Should Not Be Here.
Allicia was used to spending the time alone in the mansion, she casually left the door opened while she was in the only available room that she used. She looked for a towel and threw it on the bed. Her clothes were wet already and since she was staying until the rain was over, she decided to pull off the clothes. She removed her skirt first and then her shirt. She picked up the clothes and carefully spread them on the armrest of a wooden chair in the room. She turned around to pick up to towel to clean her slightly wet body when her eyes met with his. The man stood at the entrance of the room, his figure made the entrance appear smaller than it should be, a sharp glint flashed through his dark orbs as he down stared at the girl. Allicia stood frozen at the same spot, the humming stopped and the pressure from the man's intense gaze made it a bit difficult to breath. Who was this man and where did he come from?! These were the questions that filled her head. She only looked at him
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS A Mother And Her Cuties.
It was a hot summer afternoon, a great number of people flooded in and out of the airport, a couple of people sat in the airport lounge waiting for the announcement of their flight, most had a conversation over ice-cream to cool off the afternoon heat. There were other who were looking anxiously around, craning their necks, holding cardboards and waiting for their loved ones. Among this group was a hyperactive lady who managed to squeeze up to a position in the front, she held up a cardboard with the inscription "A pretty lady with a cute bundles of joy!" Everyone looked at her with a bewildered expression. A young lady stepped out of the crowd, dressed in a Jean trousers and a denim jacket to match outfit, a floppy hat shielded her face from the ray of light and she wore a pair of sunglasses. She looked rather fashionable. However, it was not her presence that drew the attention of the people around her but the little cute bunnies that walk by each side of her legs. Both cuties we
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS Zia And Zayn
"Ava–" Allicia rolled her eyes at her friend. "I urge you to please be quiet and concentrate on driving" she voiced. "Nonsense, I can see the road clearly! Even with my eyes closed" Ava bragged. "Nope, you won't do that here" Allicia laughed. Of course, she knew how reckless her friend can be. Ava may appear quite childish and playful, but that's a mere facade of what she really is. Her playfulness is only a cover-up for her fierceness and the banditry that coursed through her veins. If she really bragged about driving with her eyes closed, Allicia could bet that she would definitely give it a try when no one was watching. Ava had been that way since she knew her from the Orphanage. "Tsk!" Ava clicked her tongue childishly causing Allicia to laugh, she could almost hear the latter mutter, "coward" under her breath. "For the kids, you must be careful" Allicia warned. "Right!" Ava bobbed her head, just like Allicia, she could not afford anything to happen to the children. When it c

"How is it?" Ava asked as Allicia stepped out of the children's room. "Zia got jetlag, she is not used to traveling by air yet. She is sleeping already while Zayn is okay, he is playing games. He does not like to be disturbed" Allicia answered with a smile as she closed the door gently behind her. Ava nodded slightly and the two ladies walked away from the door. "What about you then?" Ava questioned, she knew a side glance at Allicia and cocked her brows. "Huh? Me?" Allicia paused, confusion written over her face as she pointed a finger at herself. "Yeah. I mean, are you not going to rest too? Just look at those hideous dark circles and bags under your eyes!" Ava exclaimed. Allicia was instantly taken aback, her eyes widened and she immediately touched her face here and there subconsciously. "Okay, okay… don't be silly, that was a joke. You don't have dark circles or whatnot. I am just saying that you should also rest. Did you not say you are resuming work as soon as you return
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS The Kid's Conspiracy.
Meanwhile, while the adults were having their discussion, the kids were also engrossed in their own little world and having their own serious deliberations. "Big brother, are you sure that we can do this?" Little Zia popped her head and looked at the scribbling and drawings that was made on the page of a drawing book, although she barely understood the entire point of the drawing, she knew that it was a draft that her brother had made for them to find their daddy. "You have to trust your brother, Zia" Zayn uttered expressionlessly, he stared at the draft he made and could not be anymore satisfied with himself. He knew that he had come up with the best plan ever."Yes, I trust you!" Zia bobbed her head seriously and expressed immediately. Zayn nodded and rubbed her head. "You are a good girl" Zayn did not waste time in praising his sister. The little girl blushed immediately. She knew that her big brother liked her the best! He always reveal a stony expression and spoke very little
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS Uncle Called!
Allicia carried little Zia in her arms and brought her to the living room. It was as though Ava shared telepathy with the mother and child as she had already arranged a big bowl of mixed flavor ice-cream on the table. The three sat cross-legged around the table and picked a scooping spoon for the ice-cream. Just like her mother, little Zia had a sweet tooth. They enjoyed anything sweet, especially ice-cream. "It is just the two of you?" Ava asked and before Allicia answered, Zia spoke first. "Big brother Zayn does not like ice-cream" she said and dug into the ice-cream bowl immediately. Ava looked at Allicia and she nodded while wiping the corner of her daughter's mouth that was smeared with Ice-cream. "Zayn is intolerant of anything sweet," she told her friend. Ava's eyes were filled with disbelief, she looked at Allicia and her eyes were practically screaming, what exactly did you give birth to?! In her opinion, she thought all kids like sweet things.Allicia laughed, shook her

"Leader, it's good that you are here already. They had just announced the presence of the big boss. He should be going on stage now" Julie voiced as she made way for Allicia to stand with them.Alicia gave a slight nod and she stood beside the members of the team. In that instant, Allicia felt Annie moving slightly closer to her and her flustered whispering voice soon reached her ear."Leader, quickly, look! The boss is on the stage already!" Annie expressed in awe.Allicia lifted her head and subconsciously, her gaze fell on the stage.

A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS Meeting Him Again.
A while ago, a man dressed in an exquisite suit stepped out of an elevator, his secretary followed closely behind him while maintaining a reasonable distance from him at the same time. The secretary did not dare to walk on the same level as his boss. Just then, when they were about to enter the venue of the company's dinner, the man suddenly halted, he looked in a certain direction with a cold glare before he made a sharp twist and began hurrying in that direction. The secretary was dumbfounded and confused for a moment before he got back to himself and rushed after his boss.

Allicia got into the taxi and waved at her baby as the taxi zoomed off. She glanced at the time and she saw that there was still about an hour to the dinner. There was also about twenty minutes drive from the apartment to the venue where the dinner was going to hold. She looked at her phone and screened through the pictures of her that Ava took before she left the house. She saw a few pretty ones and decided to upload them on her social media account. She did not have many friends in her social circle but after she uploaded her pictures, it garner likes from her friends and a few comments. She quickly responded to some of the comments and closed the app. Before she knew it, the car stopped in front of the venue for the dinner. Allicia mouthed a word of thanks, paid her fare and stepped out of the car. She pinched her dress and walked walked on the stairs that led into the event hall. When she stepped inside, she found that the hall was already filled with people, both familiar and u
A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS Haunting Dreams.
"Please, don't…" a gasp slipped past her parted lips and she let out a nervous murmur that was barely audible. A solemn whimper incessantly slipped through her lips at the same time. Her eyes were shut tightly and her brows furrowed, beads of perspiration rolled down her forehead down to her cheeks while her body also thrashed violently around the bed. Her fingers were balled to form a tight fist. She clenched her fingers so tightly that blood ceased to flow in her hands, her veins and blood vessels popped and her hands became pale. A teardrop leaked out of the corner of her eyes and it mixed with the beads of sweat rolling down to her cheek. The strands of her messy hair stuck against the skin of her face and neck, and her breathing was shallow, it was as though something pressed heavily against her chest. The torturous moment came and passed after a while, her laboured breathing slowly eased and after a few minutes had passed, she slowly opened her eyes again. She inhaled deeply a

"That is all for now. Try to arrange a meeting with the other company's representatives the week after this so that we can talk about their proposal" Allicia instructed her secretary. "Yes, Leader. I will do that immediately" Annie voiced. "Alright," Allicia said with a slight nod. "If there is nothing else, you can take your leave" she added and looked down at the documents before her. As soon as she completed the investment proposal of Microm Tech corporation, her group already had another proposal to deal with the following week. Although she was trying to work at a quick pace and complete the new proposal, the event that was coming up in the company was also taking up her time. The employees were all occupied with the preparations for the event the entire week. Everyone had their minds on the event. This made Allicia to be slightly irritated. Even her teammates were all distracted, the ladies would rather talk about the dress they would wear than come up with ideas for their ne

"How can I help you like this, little girl? The mall has its policies, if I stand in for you today, other people will want someone to stand in for them too when they don't have money to pay" Olivia said in the softest voice ever. "But, I really promise–" "Enough, young girl! This is a place for serious business not a place to make promises! You have heard me, if you don't have money, just leave and let me attend to other important people!" The cashier uttered sharply. Allicia could no longer take it, she looked at the young girl whose eyes were already filled with years and reluctance to drop the box. She grabbed the girl's wrist and pushed the girl behind her. "Who said there is no money to pay?" Allicia glared at the cashier. "The girl clearly has no money to pay!" The cashier voiced, she really did not like how Allicia was being so nosy. Just when Allicia was about to speak, Olivia interrupted her. "Miss, I understand that you are concerned with the young girl but–" Before Ol

"Thank you," Allicia muttered to the taxi driver as she paid the fare. She turned around and walked into the mall. The Centre Mall was the largest in the entire city and it served both ordinary customers and others with premium membership in the city. The moment Allicia stepped into the mall, she knew that it lived up to its name as the biggest mall. Customers who came into the mall were well received by the workers. "Welcome to Centre Mall, Miss, how may I be of help to you?" A young lady walked up to her and asked with a pleasant smile. "Ah, thanks," Allicia said as she lifted her gaze to look at the lady. "Can you please bring me to the kid's section?" Allicia asked politely. "Of course, please come with me," the lady said and led the way to another section of the mall. After a few turns, they came to a section that only had kids' clothes, toys, and other things that related to children. "Is there any other thing that I can help you with?"

"The contract has been successfully signed, Leader!" One of the members of group A said with a smile. It was a bearded man who looked slightly older than the twenty-something-year-old Allicia. "You have done a great job, leader! Congratulations on your first success!" Another one echoed and Allicia blushed. She smiled and faced every member of the group. "I did nothing on my own, everyone played a great role that worked towards the success of the proposal" she uttered. The members of the group applauded her, she was not just smart but also humble, they could not help but genuinely find her pleasing to the eyes. While the group was jubilating for their success, a cold snort suddenly reached their ears."It seems that since group A got a new leader, they have become so free. While other groups are working hard on the proposal, you all are idling around" Allicia frowned and turned around only to see Marie standing by the entrance of her group with a disdainful scowl on her face.

A DEVIL'S SWEET LITTLE MISTRESS Shocking News!
Allicia laid in her bed after she was treated a whole dinner by Ava, she felt bloated and a little bit too full. She reached out her hand and carried her laptop. She switched it one and looked into her emails. She quickly responded to a few mails that she received in the past two days. When she was done, she closed the laptop and put it aside. She then picked her phone and began surfing through the internet. She had few friends over the time that she was abroad and she replied to their messages. Most were just questions asking how she was, nothing that was really important there. Just when she was about to close her phone and fall asleep, she received a notification in her private message and she clicked it open. It was a message from someone named 'big boss'. "Are you awake?" The message rang and Allicia sat up instant. Her hands shook and her phone nearly fell off due to her abruptness. "Yes, hello" she politely replied. "Hm, you resumed work already?" The person messaged again
