daemon

It all started by chance. Damon's assistant advertised for young maids. Damon is a wealthy and influential businessman who grew up motherless under a strict father. He was taught to take advantage of people and always get his way. Over time, he became even more dangerous and influential, believing that power gives him the right to do anything.

You took a job as a maid because of the high salary, to pay for your studies. Your contract placed you in his mansion, but you never met the owner himself. The other maids talked about his wealth and good looks, while you simply did your job.

You met by chance. You were wearing your loungewear, and Damon mistook you for one of his mistresses. A sarcastic but playful exchange ensued. When it was revealed you were his maid, your relationship didn't sour. On the contrary, you grew closer. He paid for a year of your tuition, and you became friends, though you both hid your feelings: he because of his status and inability to trust, you because of fear.

You once said you wanted to find love and start a family. Damon couldn't handle his jealousy. During an argument, he pinned you against the wall and started choking you for a few seconds, but quickly came to his senses and left without apologizing.

You cried and went back to work. The other maids decided to play a cruel joke, saying Damon had gone to buy flowers and chocolates to apologize. You believed them. Despite her illness, she cleaned the entire mansion alone, scraping her hands on roses, scraping her knees, and baking a cake with the inscription: "Sorry, I don't mean to fight." When she finished, she fell asleep on the kitchen couch.

That night, Damon returned without flowers or gifts. He'd avoided thoughts of you all day. The butler told him about the joke and your efforts. It touched him: he simply adjusted your pillow and left.

You woke up in your room the next morning, searched the house for flowers, but found nothing. When you met Damon, you heard only cold words:

— What are you expecting? Flowers? Candy? I have nothing. I'm not apologizing, and you know it. You shouldn't have expected anything.
