An escape plan

Ashlyn's POV

I could barely walk properly from all the positions Lucifer had me in last night. On the bed, on the wall, on the chair combined with the desk, I was treated like a mistress and all I wanted to do was lay back and sleep till nightfall.

But then, my stomach had growled and I could not suppress the hunger, and with aching legs, and a sore and stretched-out vulva, I found my way downstairs only to hear the most outrageous thing of my life.

I was to play wanton with all of Lucifer's mistresses and the bastard agreed to it.

"I shall not be forced to do what's against my will," I said standing on my grounds.

"And since when do you have a choice?" Lucifer asked leering at me. He was finding the whole scenario amusing. "I've always made you do things against your will. This will not be the first time." He said to me.

I've never seen Lucifer so enthusiastic like this before. What was so special about these mistresses' one-night thing that was bringing him joy?

Seeing that my stubbornness would not grant me my request, I decided to plead.

"Please do not force me to do this with them." I pleaded. I was sore and besides, I had a feeling they had something in mind against me. Why don't they just leave me the hell alone?

My pleas fell on deaf ears as he turned to Sofia with a smile. "Do whatever you want. She'll comply." He said to her.

"Do I need to make use of brutal force?" She asked him charmingly. I groaned inwardly.

"I must confess to you, she loves the brutality and dominance." He said smirking at me. He was gaining pleasure in this.

What manner of people were these? He was the Master and it seems like she was the queen of all his mistresses despite Sia being his first.

And after saying that, he walked out of the house and I stared at his retreating figure. What has he done to me? I wondered and my hair was yanked bringing me back to the harsh reality that was about to befall on me.

I whimpered at the painful grasp of my hair and turned to stare at who did so. Sofia.

She smiled sweetly and then I realized behind her cool expression, that she was cruel on the inside. She was a facade.

"Shall I make something clear to you?" She said and her eyes narrowed. "You have no place in Lucifer's heart, understand?" She said.

I chuckled as I pulled myself from her. "I do not need the words of French to tell me that. The devil himself told me." I said to her.

"Neither do you have sole ownership of his body?" She said.

"I doubt that," I said wanting to irritate this French woman. "After all when he wants pleasure he crawls into my chambers," I said to her and that infuriated all of them.

Sia grabbed my neck. "That does not mean you should play favorites." She said in anger.

I held her hand to prevent me from choking as I smirked. "I'm not. Your jealousy is making you assume." I said to her.

She flung me away from her and I stumbled backward and smiled that I had least had an impact on her with my words.

"He's just using you mostly cause you're his newest toy," Juliette said.

"Really?" I raised a brow. I'm finna be feeling good getting them riled up with my sarcastic replies.

"He'll discard you as soon as he gets a new one," Meridith said bitterly.

"Really?" I said again and I could see the anger simmering in them.

"They are right. I'm the only one he still fancies." Sofia said and I still kept up with my reply.

"Really?" I said again with a raised brow and goodness me, I loved the redness on their faces.

"I do not believe that analysis of yours," I said and walked behind all three of them. "I believe the word is not the newest toy my fellow mistresses. Lucifer is using me the most because he finds me more pleasurable," I said to them and I see the shock on their faces.

I did not know for a fact if that was why he was after me, I only said so to rile them up and it worked. I was well pleased with this.

"When was the last time he was in your room, Meridith? After all, you're also a new toy compared to them." I said to her.

"Enough!" Sofia said firmly in anger. "I've had enough of your nonsense." She said.

"No, I've had enough of your nonsense. You may be the queen of all these mistresses here but not mine. I'm not under your rule or command." I said to her equally getting irritated as anger began to brew inside of me.

"Since when has the vampire decided to have wings?" Sia asked grabbing me from behind and the others immediately seized me too.

"So she's a vampire," Sofia said advancing towards me in slow and malicious steps matching the smile on her lips. "Lucifer did not inform me that he was harboring the kind of his most hated enemies under his roof." She said and ran her manicured fingers along my throat as I tried to break free from her new minions.

"No wonder she has such a sharp tongue." She said.

"She's witless Sofia," Juliette said to her.

"What do you mean?" Sofia asked intrigued.

"She's a spineless vampire Sofia. She has fangs but cannot make use of them." Sia said smirking.

"She cannot bite," Meredith said in utmost simplicity.

"How intriguing is this?" Sofia said smiling wickedly as she dug her nails into my flesh. I whimpered.

"Now listen to me, I've had just about of your nonsense and shrewish tongue. You're in no way compared to me in terms of beauty and everything and by the time I'm done disfiguring all parts of your body, you'll think twice before speaking to me in the manner in which you do." She said and I gasped as her fingers dug deeper into my flesh.

"Tonight, I'll find out what pleasures you believe Lucifer derives from you that makes you feel so bold to talk back at your superiors and when I find out, I'll strip you of it and make you bitter. Too bitter for him to want or even look at." She concluded and shoved me away with the others letting go of me and I fell to the ground.

Sofia walked away while the three musketeers stood before me in ridicule.

Why was Sia not against this woman commanding respect from everyone including her?

"Here you are taunting me while the so-called madame is taking over your position as the first," I said trying to irritate her but instead, she laughed.

"I was against her yesterday but last night she made me fall in love with her." She said delightfully. "I do not mind if she's the queen who takes my first position, long as I'm in her arms." She said excitedly and I stared at her in horror.

Did it just take one night with Sofia to be crazy about her? or was Sia in this already but had sought the expert hands of a professional like Sofia? I was confused and horrified.

"You do not have to worry vampire," Juliette said.

"Not worry?!," Meridith exclaimed. "She does have a cause to worry!" She said and they erupted into laughter.

"By the time we're through with you vampire, you'll disappear from here faster than you arrived," Sia said and I stared in horror. What have they planned on doing to me?

They sneered at me once more and walked away laughing. I sat there in horror forcing back the tears in my eyes as I wondered what they had in store for me.

No. I would not sit and wait to find out what evil they were about to practice on me. I would not sit and wait for calamity to befall me. I'd run away. Run away as far as I can and ensure that I am not seen.

I'll flee to an unknown destination and let the cruel hands of death take me than die an insufferable death in the hands of these witches in disguise.

This time around I was not worried about the wrath of Lucifer. I must escape from here by nightfall.
