Chapter 103:
Was she scared that I would snatch her arrogant King from her?
She could have him if she wanted. He wasn’t my type anyway.
What was it with mistresses and wickedness?
“Yes, ma’am,” I muttered, bowing my head in submissiveness.
“You have to be quick. There’s tons of work waiting for your attention.”
A gasp escaped my throat as I fought hard against the urge to glare at her.
A slap was the last thing I wanted.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I watched Damon leave the room from the corner of my vision.
Great!
Now I was at the mercy of the mistress.
“What are you standing there for? Get to work! Didn’t your parents teach you?”
“I’m sorry,” I said, almost choking on my tears as I poured the soap into the bucket filled with water and worked it into a lather.
“You better scrub the floor so hard that I’ll be able to see my reflection!”
Get a mirror, bitch!
“When you’re done scrubbing, go into the woods and get me the herbs I drink daily, and also some fruits. I want them blended with your hands. Your time is running out!”

I couldn’t wait to finish my never-ending chores and finally sleep like a baby. Tiredness hit me like a ton of bricks as I was buried in tasks.
All thanks to the evil mistress.
My eyelids became heavy, and I dozed off occasionally while working.
Nothing could relieve me from my duties—not even the growling of my stomach.
A sigh of relief washed over me as I finished extracting juice from the dry leaves with my hands.
My fingers stung painfully as I squeezed the last drop of juice into the cup, then discarded the leaves.
The pungent smell of the herb made my nose cringe in disgust.
Why the hell was she taking this concoction anyway?
Wasn’t the smell enough to make her puke?
I wasn’t pregnant, but I felt like throwing up already. A spark of happiness coursed down my spine at the thought that I was finally done with my work.
Now, I had to worry about climbing the enormous stairs, since she’d banned me from using the elevator.
A shooting pain enveloped my joints as I was about to leave the kitchen and head to her room.
