The Maid | J.HS x P.JM ✅

XXVII

Evlyn climbed out of the Lyft with a soft thank you to the driver. She walked up to the towering gate and pressed the button on the intercom, waiting for someone to speak instead there was a buzz and the gate opened. She walked through and a shiver coursed through her body, everything felt wrong, but she had to do this for the sake of the men she loved. A dull pair of lights were approaching her, Evlyn raised her hand in front of her to try to see past the beams.

"Evlyn?"

"Y-yes?"

"Hop in" he was dressed like a security guard and driving a golf cart "Mr. Kleaver is expecting you"

The former maid slid in the back seat and held on as he whipped the cart around. Neither of them said anything during the ride, it was only about 2 minutes, but time was moving slowly for Evlyn. She didn't know what was going to happen and that scared her. The guard stopped at what she assumed was the front entrance of the massive house, it was much larger than Hoseok and Jimin's house and scarier, it looked like something out of a horror movie.

She slid out the cart and walked to the door, it opened as she approached, and a butler bowed in greeting. She gave the man a nervous smile and clenched her hands into fists at her sides. He motioned for her to follow him, so she did. They arrived in a large room that was surrounded by floor to ceiling windows, inside was a white grand piano, a fireplace and floral furniture that looked heavy and expensive. Evlyn looked around in awe, the room made her feel tiny and insignificant, but it was beautiful.

"Gorgeous" the familiar voice spoke, making her turn to the direction it came from. Allen Kleaver sat with one leg sitting on top of the other. The sleeves of his dress shirt were rolled up the elbows and blondish-brown hair was styled to perfection. His blue eyes were piercing and cold and trained on Evlyn. She was fully clothed but still felt bare under his gaze

"What do you want from me?" she asked, bypassing his game of pleasantries and faux compliments

He smirked then stood up and walked around her, taking her in from all angles "You are feisty, I like that"

"Allen stop playing fucking games, why can't you leave me alone huh? You get me fired and blackballed and it's still not enough so what is it?" Evlyn asked him, part of her is irritated with the dance but another part of her in curious as to why this man is obsessed with her

"You rejected me, no woman rejects me" He said simply as if that was a good reason to ruin someone's life "Who do you think you are to turn me down?" He asked

"Are you serious?" she huffed "You're upset that I don't like you, this is a fucking ego trip? You're despicable" Allen grabbed the back of her neck and pushes her forward until they are standing in front of a 7-foot mirror

"Look at you and look at me, any woman would kill to have what I could have given you- money, clothes, jewelry, status, - and you turned me down" he snarls from behind her frightened face, she looks at him through the mirror "Then you stick your nose where it doesn't belong and tell people I'm a sexual predator" he squeezed harder

"Because you are," she whimpered. That only further infuriated him, he was turning red and breathing heavier. He turned her around and fixed his grasp on the front of her neck, almost choking her. Evlyn's heart was beating fast within her chest, feeling like it would break free at any moment "Let me go" she chokes out. He released her neck, and she coughs, rubbing where his hand was

"The most insulting part is that you turn down a real man for a couple fags" he laughed but he was cut short by her hand, for the second time he's been smacked by Evlyn

"Don't you dare talk that way about them, they are more man than you will ever be! They don't drug and take advantage of women; they don't cry about being rejected and get people fired. You could never be a fraction of the men they are, you're a spoiled brat that only relevant because your uncle!" she shouted, pushing him until he got even more angry and smacked her. Her glasses flew off her face, landing several feet from her

"SHUT UP YOU TRASHY WHORE!" Allen screamed as she held her face, shocked that he actually hit her "I'm better than you!"

Evlyn found herself laughing, her adrenaline was pumping and she was becoming hysterical "Fuck you!"

"You are going to pay for that" he seethed. Next thing she knew she was picked up and flung over his shoulders. Evlyn flailed and fought against him but he was too strong, she was only exhausting herself.

He carried her up the curved staircase and into a bedroom, throwing her on the bed. He closed and locked the door behind which made him turn his back to her but only for a few seconds but that was enough time for Evlyn to scurry off the bed and pick up a nearby lamp. He turned around to see her armed and alert

"Fighting me is only going to make it worse for you and them" the scared woman immediately thought of her ex-boyfriends "I won't stop at Jimin"

"What are you talking about?" she inquired, still holding on to the lamp

"You think I'll stop with you? Oh come on Evlyn don't tell me you're that naive," she frowned "If you don't do what I say I will ruin Jimin's career and Hoseok's. They will both suffer the same fate as you so if you want to protect them you will do what I want"

"What do you want?"

"Work for me. Be my maid and if you do a good job I'll fuck you too" Allen taunted her, the ultimatum worked against her no matter which choice she made. She also knew she could not trust him, who's to say that doing what he wants will guarantee anyone's safety, theirs or hers "I already called the agency and requested you, all you have to do is accept"

"If I work for you, do you promise to leave Hoseok and Jimin alone?" her voice shook as she spoke

"I promise" Allen's smile devilish smile grew, displaying his perfectly straight and white teeth

"I will never, ever have sex with you" She proclaimed, lowering the lamp

"You'll come around eventually. Every woman has a price, even you and I know exactly what it is, or who it is" he says confidently. This man was clearly unstable, just a few minutes ago he was acting like a raging barbarian and now he's calm and sure of himself. Evlyn knew she had to be careful, he was ticking bomb. "You can call me a lot of things but a rapists isn't one of them, I have never drugged a woman"

The maid dropped the lamp onto the carpeted floor with a hard thud, it rolled towards a wall stopping it. She exhaled, weighing the outcome of her options. She couldn't let Jimin and Hoseok suffer because of her so she made her decision quickly "Fine, I'll do it. I'll work for you"

"Of course you will" with that he left the room without another word.

An additional click told her that he locked the door from the outside, left alone she allowed herself to emote. Hot tears poured from her eyes as her body began to shake, until that moment she was still hopeful that she could find a way out of the messed up situation but it became very clear very quickly that she was stuck. Evlyn sank to the floor and pulled her knees up to her chest, expelling chest heaving sobs. She felt helpless but then she remembered her glasses, she hoped the camera wasn't damaged and was able to catch everything. She pulled her phone from her bra to check the footage but she had no service

"Fuck" she cursed quietly. Evlyn hopped up and checked the room for a phone but found no electronic devices of any kind. She checked the door, of course it was still locked then she checked the window only to find there was no way to open them. They were like the windows in a hotel.

Evlyn wiped her face and shook her head, "I'm not giving up" she resolved

Meanwhile...On the other side of town someone else was hatching a plan of their own.
