Adina

"Come on, sweetheart, I promise you'll have a good time," Phil winked at me, smiling boyishly as he continued caressing my palm.

Phil was one of the regular customers at the bar and we've gotten to know each other as he always comes around during my shift. He's a cool, easy-going guy and very charming too. And today, he's decided to use his charms to convince me to attend a carnival at his school. From the stories he's told me of the college fair, it sounded amazing and fun but I honestly didn't think it was wise to go with him, considering I knew nothing about him.

"I'm sorry but I've got to work and you didn't Inform me on time. It's a bit too late," I returned his smile, just as I pushed his second glass of beer towards him.

My gaze traveled around the room and returned to him. It was the early hours of the evening and the place was still empty with just a few customers around. I knew it'll only be a couple of hours before it gets crazy busy so I was taking my time to enjoy this free time before I get to serious work.

Phil took a sip of his beer and stared back at me with pouty lips and soft puppy eyes. He looked so cute and boyish that it had laughter rumbling out of my lips but it was instantly cut short when I spotted Lucifer behind him, a deep resenting scowl etched on his face with his brows pinched together in displeasure. The hardened expression in his eyes had my smile falling off my face and as if Phil sensed his presence, he turned back at that moment but Lucifer was no longer looking at him, rather at the part of my arm that Phil was steadily caressing as though he wasn't about to be ripped apart by my boss.

"My office, now!" Lucifer thundered, calling the attention of the other customers as his thick voice echoed in the bar.

Instantly, I flung my arm from Phil's hold just as he turned on his heels and began heading toward his office.

"Hey... chill," Phil attempted to reach for me, oblivious to what had happened.

"I... he-he's my boss. I have to go see..."

"Adina?" Lucifer's voice came again, bearing a tone of warning and I instantly looked up to see him by the back door, his back turned to me. He stood tensed, radiating a dark aura, his grip on the door handle so tight that I swear I could see his whitening knuckles even at the distance and I feared he may rip the handle off the door.

Without hesitating, I rounded the counter and hurried off, leaving Phil confused, and without a worthy explanation.

"S-Sir..." I stuttered as I got to him. He whipped around and grabbed my arm in a firm hold, bothering on pain as he all but yanked me into the back, dragging me all the way to his office.

As soon as we were in, he pushed me against the door, forcefully pulling my arms taunt above my head and caging them there with his. His hot gaze was fixed on me, a thick vein popping on his forehead. The more he stared at me, the darker his irises became and I found my heart slamming hard against my chest from a mix of fear and trepidation.

The silence in the room was almost deafening as he kept glaring at me. My nerves were threatening to choke me the more it stretched on. Hence, I decided to speak, while wondering what I must have done to get him this angry at me.

"Umm... What..."

"You let him touch you," he gritted, interrupting me as though he couldn't bear to be quiet anymore. I heard the rage in his words but still, I couldn't understand the depths it was emanating from.

I blinked, still lost at what he was getting at.

"You fucking let him lay his filthy hands on you," This time, his voice boomed in the room, and I shuddered. He must have seen how he was affecting me because he finally released my hands and took a few steps back, panting. He turned his back to me, his hands balled into fists while I remained rooted to the spot still processing his words.
