Chapter 57
It was unacceptable the level of audaciousness she possessed. Not only going through my stuff but also trying to take them? What did she even need it for?
I pushed the rest of the pictures back into the purse before exiting the closet. The clock on my nightstand read 5.00a.m.
But it did nothing to deter me.
I moved out of my room with the tiny purse still clutched in my hands. The closer I got to the maid quarters, the harder my heart thumped with anger.
The only thing I could think of, was forcing Freya awake and making sure that I got answers to the questions milling in my head.
Twisting carefully the knob of the door that I knew my personal maid shared with her daughter.
I walked into the space, and the sight of mother and child wrapped around each other stopped me in my tracks. The thumping in my heart seized and the red in my eyes vanished. The sight was so beautiful and peaceful to watch that I found myself inching closer to the twin bed in an attempt to get a better look at them even in the darkness of the room.
It wasn’t exactly ideal for them to share the small bed, but it was obvious that they were not only used to the situation, but they felt comfortable doing it.
I continued to watch them in silence, conflicting emotions going through me at the sight.
The sight of Freya’s hair fanned out on the bed reminded me of the feeling of the soft strands against my fingers and I had to hold the urge to run my fingers through her hair for fear of awakening her.
I had come down here with a mission, but now I couldn’t find it in myself to wake up the green eyed woman that was wrapped around her child.
Maybe
the questioning could wait till they were up. Getting answers immediately did not seem the most important
anymore.
Just as I got to the door, I heard a groaning from the bed, then it was followed by a soft sigh and before I could completely slip out of the room, a loud gasp rooted me to my spot, then I heard the bed creaking, signaling someone getting out of it.
My guess was on the bigger of the girls.
“Master?” That voice confirmed my guess.
The sound of Freya’s soft voice threw me back into our sex escapade just earlier this morning. The way in which she had moaned ‘Master‘ at different points.
1 cleared my throat, shaking my head slightly to rid them of the naughty images that were starting to cloud it.
Now that she was up, I could continue on my mission here in the first place.
I reached for the light switch to flip it on, before turning back around to face Freya. I trained my eyes on her for a moment, wondering why exactly the blonde girl could have done this in the first place.
I raised the purse in my hand silently, watching Freya’s reaction closely. The girl only raised her brows in question but

otherwise remained silent.
“Does this look familiar?” I asked finally.
Freya immediately nodded her head in response and I furrowed ny brows in confusion.
“I found it while I was rearranging your closet, some weeks ago. She answered truthfully.
If she had taken this purse out to search through its content and even go ahead to take one of it, then her entire demeanor should be different. She should look scared at the fact that she had been caught. But all that was evident in those green orbs was confusion.
“Did you look through its content?” I asked again.
And this time a sheepish look took over her features and she began the wriggling of her fingers that I knew she did whenever she were nervous or scared.
The facts that her habits were now stuck to me, ignited a feeling in my chest once more but I shook it off and tried to concentrate on the conversation at hand.
“Y–yes I d–did, but it was just a peek 1swear. I–I didn’t entirely 1–look through all of it. Just a–about two or three pictures then I put it back in place.” Her awful stutter was a sign of her remorse
I didn’t know why, but for some reason I believed her. Maybe it was because she had immediately told the truth the moment that I asked.
But that made the situation even more complicated. Who would have done it then?
“Make me some breakfast. I’m heading out of the house soon.” I instructed.
Freya muttered a small ‘yes master‘ in her spot and I gave her a once over before clicking my tongue and exiting the room. Heading in the direction of my office to finish up some work before my breakfast got ready.
The files that were opened in front of me set a frown on my face and it felt like the frown had been there from the moment I began working.
This was the part of my job that I despised the most. Sitting behind this desk and sorting through files like I was currently doing.
A knock on the door interrupted my work and it was then I noticed the sunlight filtering into the space from the window. Whenever I began working, I usually got lost in it and this time was not an exception.
“Come in.”
Freya peeked her head into the space and for some reason, my heart began a stupid wild beat in my chest at the sight of her. It was unexplainable, the way I was getting excited with her presence.
And this time it wasn’t even sexually.
“Your breakfast is served Master.” She delivered in her soft voice and I nodded my head to show that I got her message.
The moment the door clicked shut, I began organizing the files that I were scattered on my desk, making sure to keep them

all in their right places.
Once I was satisfied that there was nothing out of place, I moved out of the office and in the direction of the dining room
True to her words there was a spread on the table and my stomach rumbled in reaction to the aroma of the foods that had been set out.
I didn’t need any further convincing to begin eating.
I was halfway through my meal, when I heard a throat being cleared at the entrance of the dining room.
I raised my brows in question when I looked to see Emilia standing by the doorway she had her fingers wrapped around something
I could see the nervousness on her frame even while she tried to put on a brave face. She remained quiet though and only continued to shuffle awkwardly in her spot
“Are you going to speak anytime soon? Or do I have to punish you for interrupting my meal without a reason?”
The girls eyes almost bugged out of their sockets at the tone of my voice but then she began speaking.
“I–I had been looking for a brush in Freya’s drawers, but then I found this and thought to return it to you since it didn’t look like it belonged there. She said.
1 furrowed my brows once more and watched as the girl took careful steps to reach me at the head of the table.
The moment she was close enough and extended the item that had been enclosed in her palm all along, it felt like all the breath whooshed out of my lungs.
–
It was my missing picture.
