Chapter 8: Chapter 8

IN THE MORNING ,

Eris fell asleep while crying . Sun's rays fell from the window and she was awakened . She was sitting onto the ground . '' It's so cold '' she whispers . '' My head feels dizzy. Did I catched cold or something ? '' she thought '' my body feels hot and weak '' . '' This dress , i fell asleep wearing this that's why i should get changed '' she thought . She got up and changed her clothes , she could only wear the maid outfit but there were some clothes in the closet so she wore it .

Then she heads out of her room . 'She goes to the living room . Sasa was cooking there . '' Did you sleep well ? '' she asks . '' YES I did '' Eris replies. '' Where is Luke? Has he woken up already ? '' asks her . '' No , can you go wake him up ? '' Sasa asks . '' Why do i have to go ? ask someone else '' Eris sternly refuses . '' Everyone is busy please '' Sssa remarks . '' Alright then '' Eris leaves . She goes upstairs upto Luke's room . She stands in front of Luke's room and knocks onto the room .

The door seems open, she thought . She knocks for a while then calls . '' Hey are you all awake ? '' she calls . '' I am entering then '' she says . Then opens the door . She was surprised to see the scene with her own eyes . '' Oh Eris why are you shouting '' Luke moans within the sheets . '' Go away '' Natasha calls . ''' Is that Eerie here ?'' Jasmine moans . '' It's Eris ' Eris snarled, gritting her teeth . The cover falls from them . Luke was not wearing any shirt . Natasha and Jasmine upto their necks were all naked and bare . '' Luke or should i say master , did you enjoy the night yesterday ? '' Eris snapped .

'' Ah yes I did it was too exhausting and fun '' Luke asserts both girls were on his both sides hugging him . '' I shouldn't have come here to disturb you then '' Eris remarks . '' Yes you party pooper '' Natasha replies . '' Go away you witch '' Jasmine says . '' I won't ever forgive you for doing this with me '' Eris shouts and falls down and she becomes unconscious . '' HEY are you alright ? '' Luke says rushing near her . 'He takes her onto his lap . '' How did she feel unconscious >? '' he asserts . He checks her head .'' It's warm , also her body , she has a fever. How is this possible ? '' he remarks .

'' She's not faking it right ? '' Natasha says coming up to her . '' No she really can't hear us, maybe she fell down because of all the stress lately '' Luke remarks . '' She won't die right ? '' Luke asks Jasmine . '' No she won't you are overreacting too much '' Natasha remarks . '' I will call Sasa '' Jasmine says coming out of the room . Sasa comes rushing . '' What happened to Eris ? '' she asks . '' SHE HAS A FEVER '' Luke replies . ''' Anyway lets lie her down first '' Sasa says . Luke carries her onto his arms and lies down onto the bed .

'' I will bring something you guys look at her '' Sasa says going down

Luke sits near Eris touching her face . '' Were you mad at me ? please get well '' he says cupping her face . Sasa comes with many maids . '' Master, call the doctor '' Lily says . Luke calls the doctor . Sasa takes some ice cubes and puts them into a bag cooling down her body .

SOon the doctor comes .

'' No need to worry she's alright '' the doctor says checking up on her . '' She will get well right ? '' Luke asks, being worried . '' She';'s alright, maybe she was a little bit stressed that's why she fell unconscious. It's a slight fever but she needs to rest for two or three days and give her the medicine from time to time. I am leaving for the day '' the doctor says .

'' It's because she worked so much yesterday I should have noticed it's all my fault '' Luke blames herself . '' Master don't worry you go to the office . I will prepare breakfast for you four maids will always be by her side , madam come and have breakfast too '' Sasa says .

They both head downstairs . Luke leaves too . The maids were looking after Eris . At the breakfast table Luke was very much worried about Eris Natasha noticed this . She said '' she's not gonna die you don' t have to be so worried '' . '' Don't be so harsh Natasha '' Jasmine remarks . '' Master eat up or else I will get angry , we are taking care of her. She will get better soon '' Sasa asserts .

'' She will, right ? '' Luke asks . '' Yes , you should eat up and check on her one last time before leaving for office '' Sasa says . '' Our master loves Miss Eris so much '' the other maid giggles . '' I have finished eating. We will leave for now let's go Jasmine '' Natasha says getting up . '' Alright then we will come back in the evening bye Luke '' Jasmine says , they both leave together .

Luke also finishes eating then heads towards Eris's room . Eris had woken up before he came . '' Are you alright now ? '' Luke asks her sitting beside her bed . '' Yes i am i was sitting in the ground all night that's how i caught cold '' Eris replies .'' You silly girl , deserves you well '' Luke grunts . '' Listen to you , you were the one who made me stay naked all ...... '' Eris utters ,she blushed remembering the scene in the morning and angry too .

'' I AM sorry , i ... you take care '' Luke says then leaves . '' I wonder why mister cold is talking so nicely with me ?'' Eris utters . '' Master was very worried about you, it's just he never shows that '' one maid remarks . '' I can't believe he's a stone hearted cold man billionaire to me and he will always be like that '' Eris grumbled . '' You take care now, miss these will stay here to take care of you '' Lily says . '' Give me something to drink. I feel thirsty ;'' Eris says . ;''' I will bring something to eat '' Sasa says coming in .

'' We need to take care of her or else the master will kill us ''' Sasa whispers to other maids . The maids leave now Eris was left all alone in the room .

Eris P.O.V -

'' Is mister stone really worried about me ? or is he faking it ? '' . '' Then what about the thing that i saw in the morning ? Why did I feel so angry seeing them lying together ? I don't like him right then why ? '' . '' Why does my heart ache whenever I see him together with another woman ? why ? ''

'' He's the one who separated me from my family then why ? '' .

'' What is the beating in my heart i feel whenever i see him ? and what is this feeling of nostalgia as if i had known him from before ? just what is this ? ''

'' Can someone tell me what is this? I feel this aching in my heart. I feel as if my heart is sick ? ''

'' Maybe being sick is making me feel like this ? That must be it , I should go to sleep after I am better. I won't feel like this '' she thought and covered her face with the bed sheet . '' I wonder how mom dad and everyone is doing. I miss you all ,oh my brother are you studying hard ? '' .

In the evening ,

Luke couldn't concentrate on work all day so he decided to come back early , he was on the way home . Natasha and Jasmine had already come back home . They were in the living room sipping on the coffee . '' Master had called me and he's coming back now '' Sasa says . '' Let's make dinner quick girls '' says the other maids .

Natasha gets up . '' Are you going somewhere ? '' Jasmine asks . '' Yes to that girls room to see how she's doing '' Natasha replies . '' Alright then , you aren't planning on doing something right ? '' Jasmine asks her . '' No it's just girls talk '' she replies and heads towards Eris's room .

Natasha goes to her room inside where there are many maids . '' You can all leave now '' she commands . '' But Sasa told us to stay '' replies one maid . '' She told you to go downstairs and help with the cooking and cleaning '' Natasha says . '' Sure ma'am then '' ;Lily replies . They all leave the room .

'' I know you are awake open your eyes '' Natasha says approaching her . '' What are you playing at ? '' Eris asks . '' I wanted to talk with you '' Natasha replies . '' What talk ?'' Eris asks . '' THat is ... '' Natasha sits beside her . ''' What magic did you do on Luke that he can't think of anything else other than you ? '' she asks .

'' I have done nothing , and he only likes you and your friend , he doesn't like me at all '' Eris grunts . '' Then why is it ? that he treats you differently than us ? Why did you have to come here ? then he would have lived peacefully , now he can't even work properly cause you are the one that's always on his mind '' Natasha says getting on top of her .

'' He was the one who brought me here. I didn't come here on my own will '' Eris replies . '' Why did you come back to his life after all these years ? I had told Luke not to come back here but he didn't listen to me at all , you are the one who had caused him misery all these years , don't you understand ? but because of that he decided to change himself i am glad about it only but Luke doesn't need you now you can get out of his life '' Natasha says .

''' But how ? I am in debt with his money. How can I pay so much money ? '' Eris asks . '' I can help you with that , my dad is also a millionaire '' Natasha says . '' Will you really ? but how can i pay you all that money ? '' says Eris . '' You don't need to pay me back. You can get out of his life and this house and I will provide you with a job in our company and a stable income for your family. All you need is to stay away from his life. Can you do that ? ''' Natasha says .

'' Well .... ... '' ERis mutters . '' If you decide to stay here then i will think that you are glad to stay here as a slave '' Natasha remarks . '' NO i am not i ... give me some time .. I will give you an answer by tomorrow. Can you give me time ? '' Eris asks ., '' Alright then i hope you can can make your decision by then cause as you know Luke will take your everything and after enjoying he will throw you out of his life , just like rich people do , so it's better if you get out of his life and i will assign a suitable partner for you also who will take care of you and your family , it's a sign in bonus think about it properly and give me an answer by tomorrow i will come tomorrow in the morning you have an night to think , its been a long talk i am leaving now '' Natasha says .

'' =What now ? can someone tell me what I should do ? accept her proposal ? then i won't have to think about paying the money back and i will have a job too but i have to marry then , but she said then i will be able to take care of my parents . I can't think properly , will someone tell me what to do ? '' Eris thought .

By the time when Natasha came back Luke had arrived . '' Where did you went to ? '' Luke asks . '' To meet your girl '' Natasha replies taking a seat beside him . '' How is she ? '' he asks . '' She doing fine got some fine energy there '' she replies . '' I brought this apricot jelly for all of us to eat ;'' Luke says . ''' This must be 'her' favourite ? '' Natasha remarks . '' Ah =well it is but i guess all of us would love it '' Luke asserts . '' Sasa takes this to her and gives her dinner in her room, '' Luke says .

'' Alright master '' Sasa replies . '' Let's have dinner ladies ? ';' Luke asks . '' i HAVE SOMETHING to talk about with you Luke ? '' Natasha says . '' What is it ? something serious ? '' he asks . '' My dad has decided for us to marry. He's at the age to retire so he needs someone to take over his business, a son-in-law, '' she says . '' But you know that I love her only, how can I marry you ? '' asks Luke . '' Oh come on she's just your plain old childhood crush and a poor girl she's not suited for you , have you noticed her speech and behaviour ? a middle class person a hooligan '' she says .

''' This concerns the prestige for both of our families , so what 's your opinion ?''' she asks . '' I only love her and I don't care which class she belongs to, my love for her won't change, '' Luke insists . '' You are behaving like a child, think about it. I have already told your grandma about it and she's coming tomorrow she's very much happy to hear the news about your marriage with me '' Natasha says . '' What grandma's coming ? she didn't say anything about it '' Luke says . '' Cause it's a surprise for you to get ready for tomorrow '' Natasha smirks . '' She won't accept this girl as your wife so you have to choose me '' she says .

'' You didn't say anything about it to me ''Jasmine comments . '' Cause i was waiting for a correct opportunity '' says Natasha . '' I need to talk with grandma about this. I will persuade her '' Luke says . '' Try cause all of this wealth and property belongs to her if you go against her you will be dethroned from your crown the decision is up to you to make '' Natasha says '' it's the right time for us to marry why can't you understand ? i will make you happy. Together we'll rule the Fernandez industries my love '' .

'' I am leaving for the day will come back tomorrow when grandma comes see you soon Luke hope you make up your mind by then '' Natasha says and leaves . '' What will you do Luke ? ''' Jasmine asks . '' I don't know , after finally meeting her i don't want to let go of her '' Luke says . Everyone in the house saw them arguing .
