Married a Great Demon King
1972 Words
Serina's phone rang again. It was still Sammy who called. She hung it up without any hesitation.
Serina then went to tidy up the bed. When she flipped over the quilt, she saw the blood stain on the bed sheet.
It was her first time last night. Sammy had wanted to get it for a long time.
Serina and Sammy grew up together, but the most intimate thing they had done was just kissing. Sammy had suggested in a euphemistic way many times that he wanted to sleep with her. Although Serina was not against s*x before marriage, she liked to do the opposite of what others wanted. The more Sammy wanted to get it, the firmer Serina would keep him in in suspense.
However, what she got in the end?
Sammy cheated on her with Clara.
Now she lost her virginity to a Great Demon King. And he was her bestie's uncle!
'Wait! I would suffer a great loss if I divorced that man. I've given him my precious virginity!'
Serina didn't do losing deals.
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
"Who?" Serina asked vigilantly.
"Ms. Serina, it's me, Molly. Do you want some food?"
Serina's stomach grumbled. It was not until then that she remembered she didn't eat anything and she drank so much last night. No wonder she felt uncomfortable. She was starving now.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm hungry!" Serina rushed to the door and opened it.
Molly smiled and said, "Follow me please."
It wasn't until Serina walked out of the bedroom that she had a look around this place.
The wide corridor was covered with thick carpet. The patterns on it were simple and plain, and it was very soft. There were many oil paintings hanging on the walls, most of which were in Western style.
Serina knew nothing about art, but she could tell that those paintings were expensive from the frames.
"We are on the sixth floor now. Mr. Derek's bedroom is on this floor. There are a piano room, a study room and a small living room on the fifth floor. The gym and cinema are on the fourth floor, and the guest rooms are on the third floor. Servants all live on the second floor. You'll find the living room and kitchen on the first floor."
Molly introduced as she walked.
"This place is equipped with everything. I can hang out in here all day long."
"There are also a swimming pool, a golf course and a garden outside. The garden Mr. Derek possesses can be called the most beautiful one in the country. Ms. Serina, how about take a walk there after your meal?"
Serina curled her lips. She could not believe that rich men's life was such extravagant.
Molly took Serina down the stairs in the elevator and they arrived at the dining hall. The chefs in black uniform had served the dishes and stood in a row.
Serina was taken aback. It was too exaggerated for her to have so many chefs at her service.
"Ms. Serina, please have a seat." Molly pulled out a chair.
As soon as Serina sat down, Molly was about to put on a napkin for her. "No! No! I can do it myself."
Molly nodded slightly and did as she said.
Serina picked up the chopsticks and had a look around the ones around her. They were all looking at her. Just as she was about to pick up some food, she put her chopsticks down and asked, "Molly, can you let them leave? I'm not used to having so many people watching me eat."
"Sure." Molly turned to the chefs and said, "Everyone can go now."
They then bowed and went into the kitchen.
Only then did Serina let out a sigh of relief, and she began to enjoy her meal.
Serina stayed in the Crystal Palace for five days.
And she finally had a rough idea about this place.
The Crystal Palace was really big. She had lost her way for several times and had to call Molly for help. What was worse, Serina had no sense of direction.
There were so many rules in the Crystal Palace. They were very strict about when servants changed shifts, had meals and had a rest. Moreover, they were all dressed in uniform, clean and spotless.
Serina could tell how freaky this Great Demon King was. He was the only one living here, but he had so many servants for him.
She was the one enjoying everything in the place now, with all of the servants waiting on her.
With a pair of large sunglasses, Serina was lying on the lounge beside the swimming pool and had a mouthful of iced fruit juice. What a great life!
The Great Demon King would be back in a couple days. She needed to work out a negotiation strategy.
While she was pondering, Molly walked over in a hurry and yelled, "Ms. Serina! Ms. Serina!"
"What's the matter?" Serina sat up, took off her sunglasses and took another sip of iced fruit juice.
"Mr. Derek is coming back!"
Serina got choked at once and coughed violently. "Isn't he going away for a week? It's not been a week yet."
"Yes. Mr. Derek used to be a punctual man. He usually came back on the date he told me. This had never happened before. Please be prepared, Ms. Serina."
"What should I prepare?"
"Well... nothing now that I think about it." Molly didn't have the idea either.
"I'm not his servant."
"Then Ms. Serina, I have to do my job. Excuse me," Molly said and left in a hurry.
Serina drank the juice with a straw in her mouth and lost in thought. Now that the Great Demon King had taken away the thing she treasured the most, she had to get some repayment from it.
She had intended to grasp this chance and have a talk with him. His sudden return disturbed her plan, though. She panicked at the thought of seeing him.
On the other hand, she was sure he would bring up the divorce, so she just needed to play it by ear.
The meeting didn’t happen until dinner time.
In the dining hall, the crystal lamps illuminated the silver knives, forks, and chopsticks. Those plates were so delicate. And the food on them all smelled good and looked delicious.
The round table was very big. Derek sat on one side and Serina was on the other.
His aura was noble, graceful but also dominant. No one dared to get close to him without permission. The servants standing around lowered down their heads slightly, being at their boss's service.
Serina was on pins and needles and she took occasional glances at Derek. His face was extremely charming. His facial features were as exquisite as carvings. He had dashing eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and sexy thin lips.
His features were a little similar to Ernest's, but Derek looked like an emperor. As for Ernest, he was more of a cute and attractive boy.
"Not to your liking?" Derek asked as he had the steak without looking up.
Serina looked around. If there weren't only servants around, she wouldn't know that Derek was talking to her.
"Well... Could you ask them to leave? I don't feel comfortable with so many people around." Derek nodded at the butler beside him. Then the butler ordered the servants to leave immediately. Only Derek and Serina were left in the dining hall.
Serina let out a sigh of relief.
"Do you get used to here?" Derek spoke again. His voice was as cold as ever.
"Well... Kind... Kind of." Serina didn't know how to talk with such a distant man. "Well, Great De..."
Serina shut her mouth at once. She heard Ernest addressed his uncle the Great Demon King all the time. So this title was on her lips when she tried to call Derek.
"Well, Mr. Derek..."
"Just call me Derek." Derek raised his head and his black eyes looked into Serina's. "Or you can call me honey."
Serina was petrified.
She stared blankly at Derek. They didn't look like they were getting divorced. They looked like a real couple instead!
Ernest was wrong about this!
"Well," Serina was not used to that, "I'll call you Derek then."
"Sure."
"And...." Just as Serina was about to negotiate with him, Derek stood up, saying, "I'm full. Take your time."
"What?" Serina turned her eyes at Derek's plate and found it was already empty, while her mind was wandering just now, so she didn't eat much.
"I'll go to the study. You can do whatever you want."
After that, Derek left.
"What a weirdo!" Serina put her head on the dining table. “How come he didn’t mention anything about the divorce? How am I supposed to negotiate with him?”
In the study.
The bookshelves spiraled up, full of modernity. Thick books on the shelves smelled like knowledge. On a curved table placed three computer screens.
Derek wasn't reading, and the computer was off.
He couldn't do anything now!
When he was in the UK, he thought of nothing but Serina, even in his dreams. Before he met her, he was a highly organized man. This was the first time he made a last-minute decision to come back two days earlier.
Somehow, he seemed to have been mesmerized by her.
Derek then heard someone talk outside the door.
"Ms. Serina, Mr. Derek doesn't like to be disturbed when he was in the study." This was Henry, Derek's butler.
"Oh, I just want to give him some dessert." Serina's sweet voice came into Derek’s ears.
"Ms. Serina, Mr. Derek doesn't like dessert, and he will never have this."
Just as they were speaking, the door of the study suddenly opened. All the entrances here could be controlled by remotes. That meant Derek opened the door for her.
Henry got his point, "Ms. Serina, please."
"Okay." Serina poked her head in.
Derek's face was hiding behind a thick book. He raised his head, saying, "What?"
"Oh, I just want to ask if you want some dessert. It tastes good, so I brought some for you." Serina walked in with a small plate in her hand.
"Bring it over." Derek didn't look up.
Serina walked to the table with the plate and found there was only one chair in that room, which Derek was sitting on.
She placed the plate on the table and handed a fork to him, "Here you are."
Not even looking up, Derek did not take it and just said, "Feed me."
"Hey!"
He was an adult! Why did she have to feed him?
Before she dropped the fork and left, something Ernest had said occurred to her: Derek could be violent, so she had better not irritate him.
Besides, it wouldn’t be wise to upset him before the talk. To gain more from the negotiation, she had to let this one slide.
Serina reluctantly took a piece and sent it to Derek's mouth. However, he did not open his mouth. Instead, he turned another page.
A disaster happened just as Derek was about to eat it.
It fell!
Serina looked down and found it fell to nowhere but Derek's trousers!
Seeing that, Derek frowned.
When Serina saw his face, she realized that something was wrong, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" She immediately reached out her hand to clean it.
Serina cleaned Derek's trousers with her hands, not realizing anything wrong with this.
Her hand brushed Derek's thigh again and again.
Then, Serina noticed Derek's subtle changes.
She realized that she got too close. Embarrassed, Serina wanted to take her hand back, but her wrist was grabbed by his hand.
"You are a thirsty woman, aren't you?"
