Chapter 21: The Missing Servant

Chapter 21: The Missing Servant

Lord Damond is not in the mood. He woke up on the wrong side of the bed. He is probably affected by his argument with Ulysses last night. He wanted to run to his room and comfort him, but he is worried Ulysses might just get angrier. He wants to explain as well, but he cannot, not yet. It is all for the servant's protection anyway.

He did his usual routine but unlike when he and Ulysses were fine, he looks tired and messy no matter how hard he tries to style himself. Damn, he is so worried about his servant. Ulysses's reactions are contaminating; he has the face that can make you smile when he laughs, and sad when he cries. Lord Damond has been thinking about him since last night. He is just holding back to consider Ulysses until he is calm so that they could talk well.

"My Lord, the Lady is waiting for you at the Estate," a servant arrived to inform him.

Lord Damond fixed his tie. "All right, I will be there."

He immediately walked out of his room. As he stepped down the stairs, he could not help but look at the servants' room. He wanted to see Ulysses before he goes off; he wanted to see him first thing in the morning. He wants to do all of those, but the situation is tight and he needs to be careful.

Lady Jewel has been waiting for him in their Estate. He arrived well to talk about the incoming engagement. The Estellas want the best engagement to be held in the Theodore mansion so they are preparing for a lot. The Theodore estate owned by Lord Damond is huge; a lot of Magnates will be invited since Theodore is a really loud name.

Lady Jewel is being clingy again but Lord Damond is truly not in the mood to do anything.

"My Lord, I am so excited for our official engagement. I cannot wait. I hope next month arrives sooner," the lady said and sat on his lap.

Lord Damond sighed. "It will be four weeks from now."

Lady Jewel began fondling his face. "I know my Lord, I just cannot wait."

Lord Damond tried to be still and smiled to hide his discomfort. The lady keeps on caressing him. "I have always wanted to get betrothed to you, my Lord. It was my dream ever since I came to mind. You were my dream, my Lord," the lady said. "This engagement really means a lot to me. I hope you are excited as well."

Lord Damond just nodded. He budged when the lady kissed his cheeks. "Are you not excited my Lord?"

"The tea, please be careful," Lord Damond said and fixed the tea on the table. They are in her chamber; the servants prepared a morning tea and thank the heavens for it, he just made an excuse to avoid the lady.

"I am sorry," Lady Jewel said and fixed the tray then she went back to fondling Lord Damond. "It is still early for you to go around somewhere. How about we have a little moment first?"

Lord Damond sighed and stilled. He does not know what to fucking do. He is so frustrated about his argument with Ulysses last night; it has been bothering him until now.

"I love you my Lord..." The lady began kissing him and Lord Damond sat uncontrollably. Fuck. "I do not think I can bear a day without seeing you."

Lord Damond could not help but think of Ulysses. He did not even notice the lady removing her clothes on top of him already.

"Lord Damond, please fuck until I cannot walk anymore."

A volt ran through Lord Damond's vein when the image of Ulysses appeared in his eyes. A lady is in front of him offering herself freely, but why is he thinking about that servant?

"Young master..." Ulysses appeared before him, crying and begging beneath him. "My Lord..."

Lord Damond immediately stopped the lady from kissing him. Lady Jewel's face became a shambles.
