Austin angrily went to the room where his mom said Ariana could occupy, with a heavy knock Ariana opened the door.
"Look I don't give a fuck if you act innocent in front of my mom just because you want me but believe me I'll never fall for all your schemes" Austin said pointing a finger at Ariana.
"What would you like to have for supper sir?" Ariana questioned ignoring his accusations.
"Don't play dumb with me bitch, I don't go easy on girls, especially desperate ones" Austin warned with a dangerous look which gave Ariana the chills.
"Sir if you have nothing I can do, for now, I would like to make myself invisible since it was stated that I'm to be invisible when you're in the house" Ariana replied with a straight face.
"Make anything with chicken for supper, serve it in the dining and I do not want to smell your scent anywhere apart from this room and the kitchen understood?" Austin questioned with a cold look.
"Yes sir" Ariana mocked as she bowed and shut the door in his face.
"Oh, I get to live like I own this house".Ariana thought as she peeled off the clothes she was wearing and went to the bathroom where she was surprised to see it was well equipped.
Ariana feeling so much relieved slept in the bathtub and was woken up by Austin who shakes her vigorously.
Ariana opened her eyes slowly and took in her environment but screamed out when she saw Jayden.
"Ahhhh!!!. What the fuck. Don't you know what privacy is, how would you guarantee my safety in this house if I can't have a bath without you barging in?" Ariana scolded as she took a towel and wrapped it around her body while Austin went to the room.
"If you hadn't been so carried away by the elegance And beauty of the bathroom, you wouldn't have slept off. Saving your life is a mistake but be rest assured next time I'd let you drown yourself to death and no guy would ever get horny looking at your shabby and poor figure" Austin mocked as he left the room.
With a Huff, Ariana got dressed and went to the kitchen where she saw lots of equipment, with surprise she started touching the equipment shocked that a person could own them all.
Ariana checked the refrigerator and opened her mouth wide agape when saw how filled it was with chicken, beef and ham with lots of veggies.
Ariana went to the rooms and knocked one after the order and halted when she heard his grumpy voice.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"Sorry, sir, I don't have any idea about what you would like to eat" Ariana said hoping he won't flare-up.
"Are you just plain dumb? I said make any chicken meal that comes to your mind" Austin replied with a groan.
Ariana opened the refrigerator, brought out the chicken and searched for a long time before seeing paprika, brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
She joyfully made mixed it with the chicken and baked it thinking about how delicious it would be.
After a few hours, Ariana was done with the baked chicken breast, she dished out a portion for herself and ate to her heart fill before dishing out her boss's own and putting it in the dining, and left to her room.
Austin who heard her retreating footsteps went to the dining, had his food then called her to take the plates away.
Ariana took the plate away and stared at Jayden because his eyes were turning into a lighter shade of blue.
"What?" Austin asked, irritated when she looked at him again.
"Your eyes, its colour has changed" Ariana fidgeted.
"What do you mean, did you add to this meal?" Austin accused Ariana who looked horrified.
"I ... I... Ad..added paprika, oregano, pepper, salt and garlic powder" Ariana stuttered feeling intimidated.
"Garlic in my food!!!. Typical Brooklyn, putting what I'm allergic to at my disposal" Austin grunted as his stomach felt like it was turning inside out.
"Is there any drug I could get for you?" Ariana asked with panic.
Before he could reply he passed out scaring the hell out of Ariana.
"Fuck! I shouldn't have accepted this job" Ariana muttered as she examined Austin
"What do I do now, do I call his mother ... But I don't have a phone and I can't use his own" Ariana thought with disarray.
After several thoughts, Ariana decided to take him to his room.
She tried carrying him up but since she had a weaker body it was an unsuccessful attempt.
She resorted to dragging him from the chair.
He landed on the floor with a not so gentle thud as Ariana tried to drag him but it was still hard to drag his muscle filled body.
"Gosh, what have I gotten myself into now?" Ariana said as she put a hand on her hip and try to think of how to get him to the room.
"Wish I know where to get a cart from and had someone to help"
Ariana said as she resigned to her faith and dragged him up slowly, sometimes dragging his leg and a few times his hand.
After 35 minutes, Ariana successful brought him to the room she thinks belongs to him and with disgust tried to open the door only for it to be locked.
"Just great, he locked the door now do I get to drag him to the living room or take him to my room?" Ariana asked no one in particular as she started dragging him towards her room.
She opened the door and was able to get him on the bed successfully.
Ariana screamed for joy and danced crazily as she had put him in the bed. She used the blanket to cover him and sat on the couch where she dozed off.
NEXT DAY
Austin woke up and got startled by the bright light.
He sat up and looked around and saw Ariana cuddled up in a ball on the couch.
He used the blanket to cover her as she stirred in her sleep but didn't wake up.
He went to his room and made a mental note to confront Brooklyn about the garlic after he had thrown the garlic powder away.
Ariana woke up and turned still drowsy and reluctant to wake up.
"Do you always sleep like you weren't employed?" Austin said as he looked at her.
"What... What. I just had the worst dream of you passing out and I had to drag you up here" Ariana said as she opened her eyes and sat up.
"Wait you dragged me up here?" He asked anger rising.
"Wow, so it wasn't a dream. Technically I'm sorry boss your body is filled with muscles and muscles and I just couldn't carry you" Ariana chattered as she looked at his shoulder.
"you have five minutes" Austin said as he left her room. Ariana freshened up fast and dressed in a short nickel and t-shirt.
"Do you always dress like a clown or do you just have a terrible sense of fashion?" Austin asked as he looked at her with an amused look.
"Say whatever you like, I have a job to attend to" Ariana said as she went to the store he directed her to and got a dusting brush which she used on furniture and other appliances.
As she was going back to get the vacuum cleaner she saw a door ajar and peeped her head to see the room filled with exercise machines of all kinds.
"Wow" She muttered as she saw him lifting weight and watched as his muscles contracted to emit a sexy scene in front of Ariana who seemed dazzled.
Austin scented her presence and walked towards the door and closed it with a loud bang making Ariana wake up and whine after the door had hit her face.
"Gosh, he's so out of this world" Ariana said as she got the vacuum cleaner and made the whole house sparkling clean.
"What would you like to have for breakfast sir?" Ariana said with a mock bow.
"Scrambled eggs and toast with a cup of brown coffee, two tablespoons of sugar would do" Austin replied as he used a towel to clean the sweat dripping from his body.
Ariana swallowed hard and went to the kitchen to make what he asked for.
She brought it to the dining and waited as he ate to avoid any problem. He tasted the coffee and spilt it out.
"When making coffee, you let it brew for five minutes, it tastes terrible" He complained making her go back to make another coffee.
"Don't you just get it, I said two tablespoons of sugar, it tastes like you added half!" He complained again.
"What kind of a guy are you for heaven's sake?" Ariana flared as she felt tired of making the same journey because of stupid complaints.
"I'm the type of guy who won't pay an incompetent maid" He replied staring at her with anger.
"Fine, I'll make another" She muttered and took the coffee back. She brewed the coffee for five minutes and took it with the sugar.
"Your coffee sir".Ariana said as she stepped aside and waited for him to flare up but was grateful when he added the sugar and sipped his tea with a satisfied smile.
"Sir, I would like to visit a friend of mine" Ariana said nervously.
"Sure, I hope you don't come back and I don't condole late coming. You should get back and make my lunch and do the laundry" Austin said without glancing up as he read a newspaper.
Ariana was beyond happy when she left the house and went to Burger It All.
"Oh my goodness. I was so scared when you didn't show up, is everything alright your father said you left home with your whole belongings" Charlotte said as she hugged Ariana very tight.
"Chill babe, I'm here now and everything is fine" Ariana replied.
"Where do you stay now and did you get lucky to find a rich dude?" Charlotte asked looking at her bestie suspiciously.
"Oh you're so funny, I got a job as a maid for a grumpy guy I met at school" Ariana said and laughed as she sat down on a barstool.
"Hey, Ariana you're not working today?" James asked as sighted Ariana.
"Naa and I don't think I would keep working because I got a job where I live now" Ariana replied to James who nodded and smiled his joy for her.
"So tell me already how you ended up with a school fella" Charlotte said with a giggle.
Ariana explained her ordeal with Fiona and watched as Charlotte fussed about seeing Jayden.
"Is he handsome, does he like dark haired girls?" Charlotte questioned eagerly.
''Oh please, you trying to pair me with that bastard is a no-no" Ariana said shaking her head sideways.
"You don't need to get worked up, I was asking so I could try shooting my shot at him" Charlotte replied to Ariana who almost rolled on the ground with laughter.
"You mean, you wanna date my extremely rich and snobbish boss?" Ariana asked after laughing.
"Yea and so what?" Charlotte retorted with a frown making Ariana burst into a fit of laughter all over again.
"Sorry to burst your bubble but that boss of mine is so allergic to girls" Ariana said.
"What do you mean, if he's allergic then how would you be blue to drag him?" Charlotte asked with confusion.
"No not that way. I meant to say he hates ladies and always snubs them . I have a feeling he's gay" Ariana whispers the last part.
"What, you mean he loves dicks rather than pussies?" Charlotte whispered back with a wide eye.
"You're lucky then, you can feel safe in the house" Charlotte said.
"I've got to go now Charlotte, I'll come to visit you any time I'm chanced". Ariana said as she hugged her friend and left the restaurant and return to her boss's cage of a house.,
Austin went to the office and checked the list of students he approved to get admitted into his college. With a sigh of regret, he saw Ariana's name. "Ariana Stuart, seventeen years old, dark hair, brownish eyes. Geez, I wonder why I gave her the scholarship" "Good afternoon sir" Dan his secretary replied. "Sir you have a call from one of the court members" Dan continued, Austin collected the phone. "Hello" Austin said. "Hello hope you're coping well, there's a problem actually . A wolf has been missing for some days now and we're suspicious that someone is using black magic" He replied to Austin who stiffened. "I'll be over there if you send the address immediately" Austin replied as he stood up and took his coat. He went to the address sent to him and saw the wife of the missing wolf mourning. He remembered how his mother mourned and shook his head to forget about it. "He said he was going to work, he wasn't in his wolf form and he wasn't involved with anybody. The office c
After getting home, Ariana feeling hurt just went to her room and cried her eyes out. Austin who was in his room trying to figure out what he could do the stop Dracula didn't have time to think as his thoughts were disturbed by the crying demon. "Argh must she always be a nuisance?" Austin thought with a groan. Standing up he went to her room and barged in without knocking. Ariana who was on the floor stood up and used her palm to clean her eyes. "Seems like you've forgotten that you're the maid here not the boss?" Austin said folding his hands. "I'm so sorry" Ariana said. "Rather than saying sorry why not get a vacuum cleaner, clean the house and trim the flowers. Then start making lunch" Austin said as he walked out leaving Ariana shocked. She wore a short knicker and the same top he gave her then she walked out and spent hours cleaning the house. With excess sweat, she took a shear and walked to the garden. Enjoying the view she sat down and dropped the shear at her side,
Ariana continues eating her food as everybody muttered their opinions. Ariana couldn't eat anymore due to the stares she was getting so she stood up with her tray. "Woah, slow down cutie" Chad the most brutal and mean boy at school said. Ariana tried passing but was waylaid. "Just what the fuck do you want from me?" Ariana yelled with frustration. "Good question cutie, how about a blowjob and a fuck session" Chad mocked to the amusement of everybody. "Don't waste your time chad she's too poor and way below standards" A girl shouted. "Yea she's poor but cuter than your plastic face" Chad smirked making everybody laugh at the girl who stumped away in embarrassment. "Now cutie how about we go on a date then get things started?" Chad continued as he held Ariana's hand. "Let go of her Chad!" Brooklyn said as he walked towards Chad who grated his teeth out of anger. "You win this time fancy pants but I'll be back for her" Chad said to Brooklyn and left the cafeteria. Brooklyn want
Austin I left the house and went to a bar to cool off things as I remembered today's Nicole's birthday. I ordered a bottle of vodka and was taking it slowly when a girl, in a short, tight mini skirt and a crop top walked to where I was. She also ordered a vodka and tried to strike up a conversation with me. "Hello, handsome" She said seductively. I wanted to ignore her but knew she would be a bother if I didn't reply. "Hello" I said dryly praying she would leave when she gets bored. "You need a nightstand because you look like you could use a good night fuck" She flirted. "No, I'll pass" I said uninterested and she poured her drink on my shit and muttered "asshole" and walked past me. Feeling unbothered, I continued drinking and remembering Nicole. If she hadn't died I wouldn't be this way. Being drunk already, I wobbled as I rose from my barstool and pushed my way amidst the many dancers and people in the club. Occasionally, a girl would try to stop me but I would shove her
Ariana brought out a pale yellow short gown and scrunched her face. "Too short" She muttered. She brought out more dresses and tried them on. All the gowns were either too short or too revealing. He knows I don't wear such that's why he bought excess. I checked the jeans and admired a few but wearing skinny jeans ain't my style. I decided I wouldn't wear any of the dresses he bought. "But won't he get furious with me?" I thought again Looking at the drawers I gasped when I saw skimpy sheer lingerie. My boss is so unpredictable! I found a new Samsung galaxy s22+ on the table and almost passed out with shock. This phone is very expensive and only the wealthy use it. But isn't all this too much, I mean paying me in advance, getting me new clothes and a phone!. With a shrug, I took the phone and checked the contact list and was surprised to see his number saved as "Master". I couldn't help but laugh at how odd it sounded. Austin I left the house and went to attend a meeting
Ella's point of view I walked to the rooftop of the school where Chad had been waiting for me. "What took you so long?" He said as he kissed me and I responded reluctantly. "Don't give me that look, I have news that'll interest you" Chad said holding my face. "Spill it" I said, not amused with any of his jokes. "Look who your boyfriend is hitting on now" He said and passed his phone to me. I gasped when I saw a picture of the commoner and Brooklyn. Not only was she wearing his shirt but he opened the door of his car for her. Scrolling, I saw more pictures of her coming out of his car, dressed in new clothes. That bastard. Chad watched with a smile as I fumed with anger. "After school, your place" Chad said as he spanked my ass and left without his phone. I didn't know what to do. Should I confront Brooklyn or just scare her away?. Bringing out my phone, I called Shantel, my best friend and told her to meet me on the rooftop. "Hey, babe what're you doing here And why the sad f
Brooklyn Coming back from Ella's house where I just had mind-blowing sex, I sang along to Justin Gold's song. I was about to turn left when I saw a lady, Ariana. The cloth of the lady looks the same. I parked my car and locked the doors before running after the lady. She ran to a deserted path, using her palms to clean her face. "Why does everything happen to me?" She asked with tears. "I lost my mother because of some people and now my dad is a living corpse" She continued as she used her hands to cover her face crying loudly. I felt both pity and pain. I can imagine what it feels like to lose a father but losing both makes her an orphan. "Why is life so unfair?" I heard her say as she fell to her knees. Gently, I walked to where she was and touched her shoulder slightly. Startled, she almost jumped as she turned to face me. "Everything is gonna be alright" I said kneeling beside her. She just cried and I drew her into my arms and let her cry on my shoulder. "Let it all o
ARIANA After Austin left, I handed a sandwich to dad and took the other, I couldn't help but smile. I can't remember the last time we are anything as expensive as this together, it's been a long we are good food. Dad coughed and I gave him a milkshake immediately. The doctor came in smiling and he checked dad's temperature. "How do you feel now?" The doctor asked her dad. "Better doctor" Dad replied smiling faintly. The doctor joked with dad for a few minutes before leaving. "Your boss is very kind. He has a nice heart and he'll treat you well" Dad and coughed. "Have a drunk dad" I replied standing up. After an hour, the nurse came in holding a tray with a jug of water and a tablet bottle. She opened the bottle and brought out a very small tablet. What the fuck. Such a small tablet costs so much. Isn't it mere wickedness?. After the drug was given to dad, he slept off and I dialled Austin's number. He was sent to pick up his calls and I instructed the nurse to give dad
Ariana cried out as a force raised and her full demon surfaced, her hair was red, her nose pointed, long ears and long, sharp claws. She had a wing at her back and pointed canines with long fangs. She looked at Dracula who was stunned, he wondered how she got wings and it occurred to him that her mother was half demon, half vampire and now she's half demon, half vampire and half human. She unleashed some insects on the demons which ate them up slowly. She didn't know how she got those powers or how to control them but all she felt was magic inside her and her demon doing its best to kill Dracula. Dracula became invisible and attacked her but she blocked all his attacks and was getting past his defences. He wondered if she could see him clearly as she was quick to retaliate. Dracula felt weakened when an insect bit him and he teleported to the house and Ariana followed him. He was stunned to see her, holding the monk's sword with so much power and strength coming out of her. He fil
"Let's go Ariana. We have to leave now" Lucile ordered and she gasped. "Why. I haven't had any rest, I spent the night training" She responded, taking her sword. "And you would have some rest when you see Austin's corpse?. Let's go now!" He ordered impatiently and she took his hand. They both left the cave, floating as Lucile led her to the forest. She gasped when she saw everywhere covered with smoke and heard swords clashing. "Let's go help them" She shouted, trying to go down and he held her. "I can't help you. You would go there alone, don't let your emotions get the best of you, kill Dracula at the slight opportunity you get" He advised and she nodded. "Why can't you come with me? Please i need you help, you have to come with me" She inquired with tears. "I just can't. There's a sword with Austin, take it and use it to kill Dracula. Stay low for some time and do not get yourself killed" He continued and she nodded, fighting back tears. He turned and wanted to leave but she
"I already told you not to come back" Fiona scolded, lifting her body as a figure stood in front of her. "Sorry, I couldn't stay away knowing that the Luna isn't well" Dracula replied with a wild laugh. "What do you want? Leave this place now!" Fiona ordered, moving back. "Why? Can't I come to check up on my opponent? I'm being awfully nice here and you're chasing me away, that's the problem you have, always treating the right people the wrong way" First, I want that" He answered, pointing at her neck and with his nails, he tore that bandage away and threw the stem on the group. Fiona screamed with pain as she tried to pick the stem but he stepped on her hand and she screamed. "Secondly, I'm inviting you to my humble home. It's not a palace but that's where you'll stay till I decide how useful you are" Dracula asserted. "Why? Why are you doing all these? Did Brooklyn order you to find me?" She cried out with tears and pain. "Let's go" He replied with a smile and dragged her outs
"I feel sorry for Austin" Lucile muttered, sitting beside Ariana and she stared at him with confusion. "He's gonna die yet his mate wouldn't forgive him or offer to help him" He answered and she glanced at him with shock and panic. "What!. Why ... Why would he die, can't I help him?" She fussed with alarm and Lucile laughed. "Yes, you can if you defeat Dracula and he's gonna die because he's no match for Dracula" Lucile replied with a shrug. "Let's go help him. I have you, we'll be able to fight Dracula together" She suggested, rising. "It's not as easy as you make it seem. I'm no match for Dracula and you're the only one who can beat him" Lucile announced and she ran to the cave, she took her sword and went to meet him. "Teach me. I wanna learn how to defeat Dracula. I wanna know everything that would help me defeat Dracula" She announced and he nodded, took his sword and launched it at her, she blocked it and he smiled faintly, she attacked him, swinging her sword as he also do
"Stop!" Ariana yelled and the two boys left themselves, standing up as they dusted their bodies. "Why are you here? Do you desperately want to kill me? Do you hate me that much?" She choked on a sob as tears dropped from her eyes. "Ariana I..i.." "And you, I told you never to come back. You betrayed your brother and now me. What would you gain? You couldn't resist telling him. You are both bunches of assholes. I regret ever knowing you guys". She sobbed, furiously wiping tears from her eyes. "Ariana, I came in search of my mom. She came to search for you" Austin replied. "Find me? Please don't give me crap, your nice mom would never do such. This is your excuse for finding me. I won't be surprised if tomorrow your uncle comes to kill me" Ariana lashed. Austin stares at her with different thoughts in his mind. He was happy to see her but sad that she hated him. "I'll just leave" He muttered with slumped shoulder and left. "You should also leave" She mumbled and walked away. She
"When would we attack? Since it has been the demons and they keep dying compared to the number of wolves who died?" Brooklyn requested. "Soon, I would wear everyone down and then attack when they're weak. Are you that eager to kill Austin?" Dracula retorted with a laugh. "If Austin doesn't die, Ariana would never fall in love with me. I would do anything just to make her mine" "Is she so special? I don't see any unique thing about her" Dracula suggested. "If you had a heart then you would see her uniqueness" Brooklyn eplied and walked away. The shaman opened the underground safe and Austin walked inside, accompanied by Fiona. With a spell, the sword was removed from its sheath. The shaman shook slightly when he held the sword, it was zapping the life out of him but he braced himself up. "Are you sure about this Austin? It might cost your life. This is no joke son" The shaman warned and Austin nodded his head with determination. "Take the sheath with you, don't push yourself too
Ariana woke up energetic and happy. "Good morning" She drawled and Lucile stared at her. He nodded and went out then came back a few minutes later holding two fishes in his hands. She wondered how he was killing animals so easily. "Have your meal and let's head to the field, we are running out of time" Lucile instructed impatiently and she looked at him with confusion. "You know something and you're not telling me. What's that?" Ariana accused and he smiled. "I know lots of things that I'm not telling you. I know other good demons are out there. I know what's happening to humans right now" He confessed. "Where? Is the demon also fighting?" She inquired, coming to his side. "It isn't as easy as you make it seem. Before you meet that demon, some events would take place and those events would determine whether you'll continue living on earth or the underground world" He predicted. "Events like what? Why are you talking in parables, you're making me confused" She whined. " I don't k
Austin stood in between 3 fierce-looking demon, with calculated steps he moved back and lurched at the first. Each demon attacked with only one thought on their minds, kill him. With a loud shout, he drove the sword into the demon's heart. The demon muttered a shriek as it fell to the ground, blood oozing out of its mouth. This only made the others more furious, with angry strides, their swords and daggers clashed with his. He could hear a warning from his demon. He hadn't slept for two straight days and his eyes revealed it all. Anger grew inside of him as he remembered Ariana. With furry, he used his sword to slice the demon into two halves. Fiona noticed how her son behaved, she ran to his side as he slumped to the ground. "You need some rest" She whispered as she knelt beside him. "No, I have to continue. I'm not a coward, I won't run away" He protested as he rose and killed the demon who wanted to cut off Fiona's head. "Son, get some rest. We can handle them. There's only
"Ariana ran away, she's so scared of death" Barbie announced sarcastically and they laughed. Brooklyn walked inside and Mia passed the news to him, thinking he would be happy but he pushed her aside and walked out angrily. They couldn't understand why he loved Ariana so much. He teleported to the shaman's house where he met his mom consoling Austin. She stood up defensively when she saw him. "What do you want? Are you happy now? Have you come to mock us?" She asserted with tears. "Mo..mom...i. I..." "Don't call me that, I've disowned you. You're no longer worthy of being called my child" She retorted and his heart tightened with pain. "Mom you should rest, I'll handle it" Austin patted, holding her should, she nodded and sat down. Austin threw a questioning gaze at Brooklyn who glared at him. "You couldn't protect her and now she's gone" Brooklyn accused, boiling with anger. "You couldn't accept the fact that she would never love you that's why you became a snitch" Austin retor
