Readers who want the age to be changed, please have faith in me and wait. Let me come with something that won't change the existing plot 🥺❤️

August woke up with a jolt, looking at the window she realised it was morning already, her heart raced as she recalled the traumatic events of the previous night. She rushed to the bathroom and vomited violently again, her body still reeling from the shock.

Trembling, she stood up and washed her face, then slowly looked into the mirror. With the back of her hand, she rubbed her lips roughly, as if trying to erase the memory of Elijah's touch.

The revulsion she felt for what he had done settled deep within her core. She brushed her teeth three times, desperate to rid herself of any lingering taste. It was only then that she realized she was wearing an oversized t-shirt and undergarments, clothes that clearly weren't hers.

Looking down at the garments in disgust, she stepped out of the bathroom to find something else to wear. She rifled through the closet but found nothing that belonged to her. Groaning in frustration, she cursed Elijah under her breath. The thought of wearing his clothes, soaked in his scent, made her skin crawl in disgust.

"Arghhh! Fucking bastard, pedophile, psycho, asshole" she let out a series of curses, venting her anger out. After a moment, she collected herself and walked out of the room to check on Aiden. Her concern for the little boy overrode her anger.

"Where are you aidy?"she asked herself as she wandered around the huge corridors praying tot bump into any of the psycho brothers.

"E-excuse me" She called a maid that was about to walk past her.

"Could you please tell me where is Aiden?" The maid nodded her head in yes and told her to follow.

The maid led her to a room. As soon as August entered, her heart sank. Aiden lay unconscious, an IV attached to his small arm. The sight of him in such a fragile state broke her heart.

Turning her gaze, she noticed a nurse scrolling through her phone, completely oblivious to Aiden's condition. The nurse was so engrossed in her device that she didn't even notice August's presence.

August walked over to Aiden and touched his forehead. To her relief, his fever had gone down significantly. She bent down and kissed his forehead tenderly.

Caressing his soft hair, she whispered, "I promise, from this moment on, I won't let anyone or anything hurt you, Aidy. I swear I'll keep you away from this nightmare we've been forced into."

August took Aiden's hand and sat beside him, patiently waiting for him to regain consciousness. The nurse, still glued to her phone, finally noticed August and was startled.

"Hey, what the hell? What are you doing here?" The nurse stood up abruptly, a snarl twisting her face.

"I don't need your permission to see my own nephew. Now do I? So shut the fuck up and shove your ass back up in that damn phone of yours " August retorted, her voice cold and firm. The nurse gasped, taken aback by August's assertiveness. She had assumed August to be submissive, weak and timid, someone easily pushed and controlled. What she didn't know was that August was ready to fight tooth and nail for Aiden, despite the brothers' threats.

The brothers were using Aiden to manipulate her, to make her submit. August would never do anything to jeopardize Aiden's life.

"Huh," the nurse scoffed, giving August a look of disdain. "You little bitch, keep your tone in check. You're nothing but a whore, not some queen I have to tolerate."

August stilled at her words. The humiliation seeping into her soul. Was this how people saw her now? Just someone's mistress? She wondered, her heart throbbing in pain.

"Once the masters are done with you, they'll throw you and this little shit back in the garbage where you belong," the nurse continued, her words dripping with venom.

August's fists clenched, her rage barely contained.

"Now get the fuck out before I call the masters and tell them their little slut is acting up. It won't take them long to bring you to your knees, begging for mercy, again" the nurse sneered. August was on the verge of having an anxiety attack listening to her words when the door suddenly opened.

"What's going on here?" Both the nurse and August turned to see Lucian standing in the doorway. The nurse quickly composed herself, feigning innocence.

"M-Master, a-apologies," the nurse stammered, tears welling up in her eyes as she dropped to her knees. "P-please, master, don't fire me. I-I didn't mean any harm."

Lucian looked at the nurse in confusion. "Did you receive any orders from my brothers or me?" he asked lazily.

"N-no, master, but the mistress said she is firing me," the nurse lied, glancing at August with a smirk.

Lucian turned his gaze to August, who was trembling at the sight of his mere presence. He walked over to her, lifting her chin so she had to meet his eyes.

"Did you say that? Hmm? Doll" he asked softly, his voice dangerously calm yet it creeped her out in the worst possible ways.

"I- I di" August stuttered not even able to form a sentence properly , her voice laced with fear.

Lucian's smirked for a moment as he looked at her. Then he caressed her hair softly, without turning around he spoke his expression hardening. "If my doll wants you fired, you're fired," he said coldly.

Both the nurse and August were shocked. The nurse's face paled as she realized the gravity of the situation. The nurse had expected Lucian to loose his temper on August but unfortunately it was backfiring on her.

"M-Master, please, I beg you," she pleaded, but Lucian ignored her.

"Leave. Now," he ordered. The nurse scrambled to her feet and fled the room, her sobs echoing down the hallway.

Lucian turned back to August, his hand still gently holding her chin. "Are you alright?" he asked, his voice softer now.

"I heard you fainted by just giving a head to Eli" August looked at him with disbelief and disdain. Lucian was way too cruel with his words every time.

August clenched her jaw, tears of rage and frustration welling up in her eyes. "I was just worried about Aiden that's why I came here," she whispered instead.

Lucian grinned. "I know you were," he said, his thumb brushing her cheeks and then moving further to her lips.

August's heart ached at his actions, torn between wanting to move away from him and protecting Aiden from his rage. "I just want him to be safe," she said, her voice breaking.

Lucian nodded. "I understand. And I promise you doll, I'll do everything in my power to keep him safe But .... only if you surrender completely."

August stilled.
