Chapter 454:
“Sorry, it slipped my mind. I took care of the first three in the morning p>
“And you think that makes it perfect?” He chuckled, pushing off the wall. Good Moon. Watching him move was totally unnerving. It was getting harder to keep my mask on.
“I did not put you in this position to deliver incomplete jobs, Lyric. I want perfection p>
I didn’t ask to be in this position—I wanted to yell at him, but I knew better than to utter such to the monster.
I resisted the urge to retreat as he got closer to me. Before I knew it, the back of his hand connected with my face. My head reeled to the side, my teeth clenching tightly against one another. He grabbed my jaw roughly, forcing me to look at him.
“What could possibly make you forget my order, huh? Have you been distracted p>
I fought back the tears as I stared dead into his eyes. My cheek hurt, but I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. Not today.
“Fucking answer! Have you been distracted!?” he yelled into my face.
I slowly shook my head, swallowing down any retort I’d have given him.
“So, why did you forget p>
Finally, I put up a small struggle, freeing my jaw from his grip.
“I’ve been trying, Caden!” My voice came out louder than I intended. “You send me on these side errands while I have work to do at the company. I didn’t finish with the third person until noon today, then I had to get to the company to get some work done over there. I’m stressed, Caden! So would you blame me if I forget sometimes p>
His hand went to my hair at once, pulling so hard I yelped. With my hair, he dragged me closer to himself.
“Talking back at me now, I see p>
He tightened his grip in my hair. “I don’t care how stressed you are, Lyric. You’re to do what I want, when I want it. You live to serve me, remember? So you fucking do it right p>

He accompanied his words with a punch to my belly. I groaned painfully and tried to bend in half, except he wouldn’t even let me as he forced me to stand straight by my hair.
“And the next time you talk back to me, you’ll get much worse p>
He shoved me roughly against the wall. My head throbbed from the sudden impact. I clutched my side and waited until he was gone before I ran into my room.

“Please! Just one more chance. Please, my King! I’m begging you p>
His plea sounded boring now. I wondered how long it would take for them to accept how worthless he was at this moment.
