Chapter 38: Chapter 38

Alexis is an excellent friend

With enough experience

To help Kayola make

The best of this situation.

- PenaciousShewa

Kayola suddenly wakes up from her sleep. It is as if she has been doused with a bucket of cold water. She rubs her face and feels the wetness on it.

Wait.

She was not dreaming; someone actually poured cold water on her. What the heck? She tries to see who wet her and she sees her.

Cassie.

The mean woman is standing there, unsmiling and uncaring. Kayola is too dumbfounded to say a word.

“It is five in the morning, and you are still sleeping? Come on get into the kitchen and do the dishes!”

“But….but it is just five in the morning,” Kayola protests.

“You are arguing with me?” she moves closer to Kayola and hits her right in the face. Kayola transforms immediately into her wolf and charges at Cassie. Thank goddess that she has learnt over time to control herself; if not, she would have torn the petrified woman into shreds. Cassie is an ordinary Omega and she is no match for Kayola- not in the least.

Cassie runs out of the room, screaming at the top of her lungs. Kayola sighs and puts on her slippers. She gets to the large kitchen and she gasps at the sight before her. The kitchen is a huge mess. There are at least, two hundred dirty plates. The walls are splattered with soup stains and the floor is not left out. How on earth is she supposed to make this place sparkling clean?

That Devilio of a mitch must have freed all the servants so that she could do all the work. At this point, none of his cruel actions can surprise her anymore. But honestly, this kitchen is like a dunghill. This is just too much for one person to do at quarter past five in the morning.

The hell?

She remembers Alexis. The last time she saw her friend, she was on her way to Arthur’s cottage. Only the goddess knows what Alexis is going through right now in his hands. But the truth is, even if Alexis was not busy servicing Arthur, Kayola still would not get help from her, as this would make Devilio very very angry, and Kayola cannot risk any evil befalling her friend.

With this in mind, she realizes that she has no choice and she gets to work. Aunt Petra’s words ring audibly in her ears.

Put the dishes in one large bowl.

Clean the splattered surfaces.

Sweep the floor.

Then, go back to the dishes.

As she does all these, she starts to get into the groove of her duty, and she starts to whistle happily. She smiles as she remembers her dirty discussions with Aunt Petra months ago and her recent sexy conversations with Alexis. She even finds herself chuckling.

Kayola, you are a bad, bad girl.

She starts whistling again and as she does, the sound of her whistling is suddenly overshadowed by the click-clack sound of high heels; a sound which is oddly familiar to her ears. Who wears heels at 5:30 am? She ignores the sound and focuses on her duty. However, the person into the kitchen, and in seconds, Kayola feels a presence behind her. Very close. Too close.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t Devilio’s mistress,” the voice says in a very mean tone.

Kayola spins around in utter shock and sees Cath, the woman Alexis talked about. Devilo’s sister. “What? I am not his mistress!” she says.

“Oh really, so why did he moan your name last night instead of mine?”

Kayola is speechless. So, she’s not his sister?

“Cat got your tongue, right?” Catherine taunts her.

Kayola still does not say a word.

“I want you to stay as far away as you can from him. Is that well understood?” Cath moves closer to her as f she wants to hit her.

“Y…yes,” Kayola replies, still disoriented.

“Better. If you do not heed my warning, I’ll make your life worse than it already is. The next time, I will not ask Cassie to pour cold water on you, it will be boiling hot water! That skin of yours that entices Devilio will become so hideous that he won’t even be able to stand you!” Cath threatens, standing face to face with Kayola.

It is now that Kayola realizes that Devilio did not punish her this morning; it was this woman. Cath clearly walks hand in hand with Cassie, and they are going to deal mercilessly with her in this house.

Cath saunters out of the kitchen and a distraught Kayola continues with her work. She is now at crossroads- she is torn between obeying her captor and succumbing to her challenger. What the hell is she supposed to do?

She is still trying to sort out her thoughts when Cath comes into the kitchen again. What does the bitch want this time? Kayola turns and sees her carrying a basket of clothes.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

“Wash them,” This is all Cath says and dumps them right in front of her before she catwalks out of the kitchen.

Kayola cannot believe her eyes and she wonders silently, “Did she not just get here yesterday? How could she have so many dirty clothes?” Every single bone in her wants to pounce on Cath and teach her a lesson.

Stay calm, Kayola.

*****************

It is just about three in the afternoon, and he is on his favorite couch, visibly angry. In fact, he is fuming seriously. What could be wrong with Devilio? Who has wronged the almighty Alpha?

There is a knock on the door.

“Who’s that?”

“It is me, baby” the person on the other end of the door drawls sexily.

Devilio huffs; just the last person he wants to see.

Cath comes into the room, cat walking as always.

“Hello, darling,” she greets and tries to kiss Devilio on the lips. He quickly turns away and her kiss lands on his left eye.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Cath asks sweetly.

“Why did you do all of that to Kayola?” Devilio barks.

Cath pretends she has no idea what Devilio is talking about, but he will have none of it.

“Don’t play me, Cath. I know everything, right from the part where Cassie poured chilled water on her, to where she hit her, to where you asked her to clean the whole kitchen, and to where you gave her your clothes. You even threatened her!” Devilio rises from the couch; at this point, he is vibrating with so much anger that Cath is taken aback.

“Those snitches” she mutters under her breath.

“I warned you yesterday; I was clear when I said that I am the only one allowed to hurt her. Yes or no? ”

“Yes you did, but as your mate, don’t I have every right to make her suffer?” Cath raises her voice.

“Cath! I warned you not to touch her! You have no right! Now, leave my room!” he commands.

“You are sending me out of your room because of that piece of crap? You know what, coming here was a huge mistake. I am leaving! I am going back to where I can be truly happy!”

“Oh really?” Devilio asks, not moved one bit.

“Yes! You can never make me happy; staying with you is just sex and vibes. That’s all! You are so boring!” Cath taunts.

Devilio charges at her and it is at this point that she knows she fucked up. She screams as Devilio grabs her by the neck, squeezing the life out of her.

Kayola has been listening to the heated argument since it started. However, when she hears Cath’s scream, she bursts out of her room and charges into Devilio’s room without even stopping to think. There, she sees Devilio strangling Cath, and the latter’s face is as pale as that of a ghost. As soon as he sees her, Devilio releases his grip on Cath’s neck and she starts to cough incessantly. After about a minute, Cath finds her way out of Devilio’s room, but not before giving Kayola a death glare.

Dear goddess.

Kayola stares at Devilio for a long time, as she tries to process the whole situation. She looks into his blazing eyes and she sees something. Concern? Care?

Hell to the no! Devilio would never care for her. The fight with Cath only happened because he wants her for himself, so he can use her as his toy or plaything.

Devilio strides towards her and she runs away. She has no idea why but she just does not want to stay in his room right now. She is sure he would like a blowjob so he can relax, and she is not in the mood to suck on her own thumb, not to talk of his massive manhood.

She runs to the slave quarters to see Alexis, and thankfully, she is in the room and not with Arthur. She downloads everything that happened and they both laugh at Cath.

At the same time, Alexis tells Kayola exactly what she needs to start doing to get Devilio’s heart completely.

This little piece of advice changes…..EVERYTHING.
