Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 68: Echoes of Betrayal
The night seemed endless as Ashley, Amelia, and Victor staggered through the darkened halls of the compound. The taste of failure lingered bitterly in Ashley’s mouth, each step a reminder of how close they had come—only to be outmaneuvered by Adonis once again.Victor’s breathing was labored, and Ashley could see the pain etched on his face. He was losing blood quickly, and they had to move fast if they were going to get him out alive.“Victor, hang on,” Ashley urged, her voice tight with worry as she wrapped an arm around him to help support his weight.“I’m... fine,” Victor grunted, though the way he leaned heavily against her told a different story. “We need to keep moving. Can’t stop now.”Amelia hovered close, her face pale but determined. She kept a wary eye on their surroundings, her hand clutching a small knife she had picked up during the chaos. The compound was eerily silent now, the aftermath of the battle echoing in the air, but Ashley knew they weren’t safe yet.They roun
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 69: Shadows of the Past
The moon hung high in the sky, casting eerie shadows as Ashley and Amelia made their way through the dense forest. The adrenaline that had fueled their escape was fading, replaced by an overwhelming exhaustion that weighed heavily on their limbs. Every step was a struggle, but Ashley knew they couldn’t stop—not yet. Not until they were sure they were safe.Amelia’s breathing was ragged, her face pale and streaked with tears. She hadn’t spoken a word since they left Demon’s lifeless body behind, her eyes haunted by the memory of what she had done. Ashley kept a firm grip on her sister’s hand, pulling her forward through the thick underbrush. She didn’t have the luxury of breaking down, not when they were still in danger.But even as they pushed on, Ashley’s mind was racing. She couldn’t shake the image of Demon’s face in his final moments—the mix of sorrow, disbelief, and something softer that had made her heart clench. Despite everything, despite the blood on his hands, there had been
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 70: The Gathering Storm
The sun’s first light filtered through the trees, casting long shadows across the forest floor. Ashley watched the horizon, her mind racing with the weight of the decisions she had to make. Every moment spent in this temporary safety felt like an eternity, knowing that Adonis could be closing in on them with each passing second.She looked down at Amelia, who was curled up beside her, still lost in a fitful sleep. Her sister’s face was drawn and pale, the events of the previous night etched in lines of exhaustion and fear. It pained Ashley to see her like this, but she knew there was no time for comfort, no time for mourning. They had to keep moving.But where? The question gnawed at Ashley. They needed a plan, and they needed allies—someone they could trust, someone with the resources to help them disappear. As much as she hated to admit it, they couldn’t do this alone. Her thoughts drifted back to the few people who had once been part of their lives, before everything had spiraled
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 71: The Road Less Traveled
The forest was eerily silent as they moved, the only sounds coming from the rustling of leaves underfoot and the distant calls of birds. Ashley's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, the weight of the situation pressing down on her like a physical burden. Amelia walked beside her, her face pale and drawn, eyes flicking nervously from one shadow to another. Jackson led the way, his broad shoulders and steady gait a reassuring presence in the otherwise unsettling surroundings.As they made their way to the safe house, Ashley couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. The dense trees offered concealment, but they also concealed dangers, both seen and unseen. Every snap of a twig, every rustle of leaves, set her on edge, her heart pounding in her chest. She cast a glance at Amelia, whose expression mirrored her own anxiety. Amelia had been through so much already—too much. The thought of her sister suffering more was unbearable, and it fueled Ashley’s resolve to see this through, no matte
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 72: Shadows of the Past
Ashley awoke with a start, her heart pounding in her chest. It took a moment for her to remember where she was—safe, for now, in the small, nondescript safe house nestled deep within the forest. The events of the previous day came rushing back, and she glanced over at Amelia, who was still sleeping soundly beside her. The room was dim, with only the faintest light filtering through the cracks in the boarded-up windows. Outside, the forest was quiet, the morning mist hanging low in the air. But even the stillness couldn’t calm the storm of emotions raging inside her.Ashley slipped out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake her sister. She needed a moment to collect herself, to think. The events of the past few weeks had left her reeling, and she was struggling to keep up. She felt like she was drowning in a sea of confusion, anger, and grief.She tiptoed out of the room and made her way to the small kitchen, where Jackson was already awake, sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 73: The Path of No Return
The night was cold as they moved through the silent city streets, their breaths visible in the frosty air. Ashley clutched the new passport tightly in her hand, the weight of it grounding her in the moment. This small booklet represented more than just a new identity—it was their lifeline, the key to a future free from the shadows of their past.Amelia walked beside her, her face pale but resolute. Jackson led the way, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings for any sign of danger. They had managed to avoid detection so far, but Ashley knew that every step they took brought them closer to the final, most perilous part of their journey.The smuggling route lay ahead, a dangerous path fraught with risks. It was a trail used by those desperate to escape, like them, and it was heavily guarded by mercenaries loyal to the highest bidder. But it was also their only chance, the only way out of the country without alerting Adonis to their movements.“Stay close,” Jackson murmured, his vo
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 74: In the Shadow of Death
The world was a haze of pain and darkness as Ashley drifted in and out of consciousness. Time lost all meaning; seconds felt like hours, and hours like days. Voices echoed around her, distant and distorted, as if she were underwater. She tried to focus, to cling to some sense of reality, but every attempt was met with a wave of pain that threatened to pull her back into the abyss.When she finally opened her eyes, she found herself in a small, dimly lit room. The walls were bare, the only furniture a single bed on which she lay and a rickety wooden chair in the corner. Her body ached all over, the sharp sting in her side a constant reminder of her injury. She tried to sit up, but the effort sent a jolt of agony through her torso, and she collapsed back onto the bed with a groan.The door creaked open, and a figure stepped inside. It was Jackson, his face a mixture of relief and worry as he hurried to her side.“Ashley,” he said softly, kneeling beside the bed. “Thank God, you’re awake
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 75: Under a Fragile Truce
Ashley woke to the sound of hushed voices. For a moment, she wasn’t sure where she was or what had happened. The room was dim, the only light coming from a small lamp on a nearby table. Her body ached, the pain in her side a constant, throbbing reminder of her injury. But she was alive, and the fear that had gripped her before she blacked out had receded slightly.Slowly, she turned her head toward the source of the voices. Jackson and Victor were speaking quietly in the corner of the room, their faces obscured by the shadows. Amelia sat beside her, her hand still wrapped around Ashley’s, her eyes heavy with worry and exhaustion.Ashley tried to speak, but her throat was dry and her voice cracked. Amelia immediately turned to her, her expression softening with relief. “Ashley,” she whispered, squeezing her hand gently. “You’re awake.”Ashley managed a weak smile. “How long…?” she asked, her voice barely audible.“Just a few hours,” Amelia replied, brushing a strand of hair away from A

The sun was barely peeking over the horizon when Ashley awoke, her body stiff from the restless sleep. Amelia was still curled up beside her, sleeping deeply after the harrowing events of the night before. Demon was outside, sharpening a blade, his expression hard as he prepared for the inevitable confrontation with Adonis.Ashley sat up slowly, her mind still racing with thoughts of what lay ahead. The peace they had found in the small cabin felt fragile, like a thin veil stretched over a storm waiting to break. She knew it was only a matter of time before Adonis found them—and when he did, there would be no turning back.She quietly stepped outside, the crisp morning air biting at her skin. Demon glanced up from his work but said nothing as she approached him. His silence was heavy, but it wasn’t unfriendly. It was the quiet of a man who knew the weight of the fight that lay ahead.“We don’t have much time,” he finally said, his voice low and grave. “Adonis will come for us soon.”A
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 100: Beneath the Surface
The silence that followed Adonis’s departure was thick, weighted with the echoes of the battle that had just transpired. Ashley stood frozen in place, her heart pounding in her chest as she watched the shadows swallow Adonis whole. His dark words lingered in the air, like a storm cloud threatening to return.Amelia lowered the gun slowly, her hands shaking as the adrenaline that had fueled her courage began to fade. She had never held a weapon before, let alone pointed one at a man like Adonis. Her knees buckled slightly, but before she could fall, Ashley rushed forward and wrapped her arms around her sister.“It’s over,” Ashley whispered, her voice thick with emotion. She wanted to believe it, but deep down, she knew Adonis’s words carried a dangerous truth. This wasn’t over, not by a long shot.Amelia buried her face in Ashley’s shoulder, her body trembling from head to toe. “I didn’t know what else to do,” she admitted in a shaky breath. “I couldn’t let him hurt you.”“You did what
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 99: Fractured Allegiances
Demon and Adonis clashed like two opposing forces of nature, their bodies moving with deadly precision. Each blow was filled with years of unspoken rage, resentment, and betrayal. The sounds of their fists meeting skin echoed through the forest, and Ashley watched helplessly as her worst fears began to unfold before her eyes.Amelia clung to Ashley’s arm, shaking. "Ashley, we have to do something! They’re going to kill each other!" Her voice trembled, but Ashley’s mind was racing too fast for words. She couldn’t pull her eyes away from the violent whirlwind before her. Every fiber of her being wanted to scream, wanted to run between them and make them stop. But how?Adonis had always been an enigma, a man who dominated the world around him with cruelty, power, and an iron will. But now, seeing him like this—engaged in a primal, bloody fight with the only person he’d ever trusted—shattered something inside Ashley. She had once thought there was more to Adonis, a hidden vulnerability be
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 98: A Trap of Fate
Chapter 98: A Trap of FateThe air crackled with tension as Adonis descended the hill, his cold, dark gaze locked on Ashley. There was something terrifying in his calmness, as though he had expected this chase to end here all along. Ashley’s breath hitched, her entire body frozen in place, despite Demon’s command to run. But where would she go? The forest was vast, but Adonis was always a step ahead, always finding her no matter how far she ran. “Move!” Demon growled through gritted teeth, his gun trained on Adonis. His voice snapped Ashley out of her shock. She grabbed Amelia’s hand, pulling her sister behind her as they tried to edge farther down the incline. “Run, Ashley!” Amelia urged, her voice trembling with fear, but it was Demon who answered, his voice low and dangerous. “He won’t stop unless you face him.”Ashley swallowed hard, her heart racing as she glanced back at Adonis. He had paused midway down the hill, his piercing gaze tracking their every movement. His lips curle
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 97: Shadows of the Past
The tension in the cabin thickened as the three prepared to leave. The forest outside remained eerily quiet, the early morning light casting long shadows across the trees. The cold air bit at Ashley's skin, but the chill she felt wasn’t just from the temperature. Something felt off. The uneasy silence gnawed at her nerves, every second stretching painfully thin. Amelia had stayed quiet since their conversation, her face a mask of worry. Demon moved with purpose, checking their supplies and ensuring they left no trace behind. He was methodical, calm, but there was a storm brewing behind his dark eyes. Ashley couldn’t shake her sister’s warning from earlier—trust was a fragile thing, and in their world, it could shatter in an instant. She had seen Demon’s loyalty to Adonis firsthand, but she had also seen the cracks in his resolve. He had helped them this far, yet the lingering question remained: would he continue to protect them when faced with the full force of Adonis’s wrath?The c
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 96: A Bond in Darkness
The morning light filtered through the cracks in the old cabin’s walls, casting soft shadows on the floor. The air was cool and still, as if the woods themselves were holding their breath, waiting for the next move. Ashley lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts racing. She had barely slept, too haunted by everything that had happened.Next to her, Amelia stirred in her sleep, her face soft and peaceful for the first time in what felt like days. Ashley watched her sister for a moment, a surge of protectiveness welling up inside her. Amelia had been through so much—caught in a whirlwind of violence and betrayal that neither of them had asked for.And then there was the baby. Ashley’s hand instinctively moved to her stomach, her fingers gently pressing against the small swell. The baby was a part of her now, a tiny life growing inside her, a symbol of everything she wanted to protect. But it also tied her to Adonis in a way she couldn’t escape. No matter how far she ran, the con
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 95: Shadows of Betrayal
The forest surrounding the clearing was eerily silent, the only sound being the crunch of leaves and twigs beneath their feet as Ashley, Amelia, and Demon hurried through the darkness. The adrenaline still coursed through Ashley’s veins, her body on high alert as she glanced behind her, half expecting more of Adonis’s men to appear out of the shadows.Demon moved quickly ahead of them, his gun drawn and eyes sharp as he navigated the dense trees. The tension in his body was palpable, and Ashley couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that lingered in the air. They had survived the attack, but the danger was far from over.Amelia’s hand tightened around Ashley’s arm, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she struggled to keep up. “How much longer?” she whispered, her voice trembling with fear.Demon’s voice cut through the silence. “Not far. There’s an old cabin deeper in the woods. We’ll be safe there for the night.”Ashley frowned, her mind racing. A cabin in the woods? It sounded too good
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 94: A Dangerous Gamble
The drive away from the café was tense and silent, the only sound being the dull hum of the car engine and the occasional clicking of Demon’s fingers tapping the steering wheel. Ashley sat in the backseat with Amelia, her heart pounding in her chest, every muscle in her body wound tight with anxiety. They were speeding toward an unknown future, running from a man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Ashley’s mind raced, trying to grasp the gravity of the situation. Demon had made a bold move by standing up to Anton, and now they were out of time. Anton had seen her, and he knew about the baby. Whether Demon believed Anton would keep quiet or not, Ashley knew better. Adonis would find out, and when he did, he’d come for her with everything he had.Amelia’s trembling hand squeezed Ashley’s, pulling her from her thoughts. “What if he already knows?” Amelia whispered, her voice laced with fear. “What if Anton told him?”“We don’t have time to think about that right now,” Ashl
Master Adonis's Maid Chapter 93: Torn Loyalties
Demon stood at the entrance of the café, his tall frame casting a dark shadow over the table where Ashley and Amelia sat. His expression was unreadable, his intense gaze fixed on Amelia. Ashley’s pulse quickened as tension built in the small space, the air thick with uncertainty and unease.Amelia’s eyes flickered with a mix of relief and fear as she locked eyes with Demon. There was no denying the love between them, but the danger that surrounded their relationship loomed like a dark cloud. Ashley could sense it too—an unspoken weight hanging between the three of them.Demon finally broke the silence, his voice low but steady. “We need to talk.”Ashley’s muscles tensed. She wasn’t sure if Demon was here as their protector or if he was still bound by his loyalty to Adonis. She didn’t trust him—not completely. But Amelia’s life, and now her own, was entangled with his.“What’s going on, Demon?” Amelia asked, her voice barely above a whisper, fear lacing every word.Demon took a step cl
