In my 20years of life, I've never kissed a man. I was keeping my first kiss till I fall in love but now it's gone, it's been taken by someone who doesn't even care, a cold hearted psychopath.'Why would he do that? Is he falling in love with me?' I thought, feeling goosebumps rising on my arms just by the thought of it."No no, it can't be" I murmured, shaking my head in disbelief. 'Why would he fall for me, am I that pretty?' I asked myself, touching the large glasses that was resting on the bridge of my nose. Feeling aggrieved, I stomped my feet and went downstairs. 'How could he? I hate him even more now'. As I kept thinking about it, I felt the resentment I had for him build up more.Seeing as he wasn't coming downstairs and it was already lunch time, I decided to do my job since I was the only maid in this house.Entering the kitchen, I opened the fridge and saw that there was enough ingredients to prepare a meal. I wasn't a great cook but I wasn't bad either.Done with making a
Waving good bye to Mia, I held the chocolate cake I bought for Ava before deciding to take a little stroll to clear my head.After walking for about 10minutes, I felt like I was being followed again but when I turned back, there was no one around. It was already almost 7pm, we didn't spend much time in the cafe.Brushing the feeling, I walked to Ava's kindergarten to pick her up. The cafe was a lot closer to the kindergarten than I thought.After picking her up, we went home. Seeing the cake, Ava was excited and didn't want to eat her dinner but I had to force her.Staring at her sleeping face, I smiled softly, brushing my fingers across her soft cheeks. She was a little bit tired after playing the whole day, making her sleep earlier than normal.Done with taking a shower, I sat down in front of my mirror, drying my hair and thinking about how tomorrow would be.After the kiss with Mr Damon, I felt like things had gotten even more awkward between us, I couldn't even look him in the ey
Layla's pov"What's your name?" A man who looked like he was in his mid 40s asked, dressed in a butler's uniform, face expressionless and stoic making me rethink my decision to work in this house. But thinking about my little sister, I had no choice but to be strong."My name is Layla Williams sir" I replied, bowing my head respectfully.With my head down, my face twitched non stop, sweat trickling down my back, but I made sure to keep my body composed. I couldn't afford to miss this job, I had to pay for my little sister's school fees and also, our house rent is due."It shows in your resume that you've worked as a maid before, a nanny to be precise, right Ms Williams?""Yes sir" I said, raising my head slowly."Okay, you're hired. You'll be in charge of serving Mr Damon, you'll be his personal maid, you can start tomorrow." The butler said, stretching out a piece of paper with things I should know about Mr Damon. Huh???My mind went blank, 'Mr Damon? No no, I can't be his personal
A week laterI just finished cleaning up, I've been doing this for a week now. Ugh, it's so tiring to clean one place everyday but I just have to since I'm being supervised by the butler.Since I finished early today I should probably rest a little before having lunch. Looking around, I saw that no one was paying any attention to me so I went upstairs to the master bedroom.I was told that Mr Damon would be back by tomorrow so I just wanted to feel the soft bed one last time. I wasn't worried because from what I heard, no one is allowed in here except his personal maids."It's so nice, wish i had this at home" I said while taking off my glasses and closing my eyes. I wasn't being greedy or anything, I was satisfied with the bed I have at home but this one just feels too comfortable not to wish for.****Shit!!"I think I overslept again" I mumbled before searching around for my glasses because I couldn't remember where I kept them before dozing off.Clack!!I heard the sound of door c
Suddenly drenched in sweat, I couldn't believe what I just heard. I felt my heart leap out of my chest, "I don't understand what you mean sir"Staring at me deeply, the smirk disappearing from his face, he stood up and walked towards me in slow steps, undoing the two upper button of his shirt and then cuffs, leaving a part of his chest opened. I couldn't help but stare at his collar bone and white chest that looked like he was just straight out of the gym with sweat trickling down slowly.Standing in front of me, he lowered himself and held my chin, taking off my glasses with his other hand, I could feel him staring into my soul."You have beautiful eyes" he said, I couldn't really see him but I could make out his smiling face that looked so scary cause of how cold his eyes were.Touching just below my eyes, he said "I want them, you don't need to strip anymore, just give me your eyes and you can keep the job"Comprehending what he just said, I moved back in terror and covered my eye
Looking at the butler in shock, I took in a deep breath to calm myself down before saying, "Okay, I understand" i could already feel the strength leaving me as I gathered my things to start leaving."Wait Ms Williams, you wanted to say something?" The butler asked, seeing that I was already going."Ohh, it's nothing Mr Lu" I said, giving up on the idea of quitting.Seeing that the butler was still staring at me, I gave him a slight smile before finally leaving. I couldn't even wait to see Mia, I wasn't in the mood to be friendly with anyone cause I'm feeling so much anger right now.****After picking Ava up from school, I made her dinner and bath her before putting her to bed. Staring at her sleeping face, I couldn't stop the tears that has been threatening to fall since I picked her up from the school gate from falling.Wiping the tears off my face, I tried to smile cause I promised my mom I'll be strong for the both of us.It hasn't been easy for us, having a father who loves gambl
"What? No!!!" I shouted, holding her hand and staring at her pleadingly."Haa!!" The man scoffed, like he just heard the most bizarre thing.I stared at him before moving my gaze to the rest of the men in the room. He seemed to be the leader since he has been doing all the talking since they got here."I said I'll do it in her place" my mom said with firm resolve.Taking her hair off her face, she stared at the man before smiling bitterly. The man stared at her lustfully, before averting his gaze. My mom has always been a very beautiful lady despite being in her mid 30s, she got married to my dad when she was 18 because he got her pregnant."Fine, we'll take you. Your daughter looks too plain anyways." The man man said, touching his chin seemingly lost in thought.Staring at the man deeply in hatred, I noticed a little scar just above his left eyebrow. "No, I'll do it. My mom is pregnant, you can't possibly use a pregnant woman for prostitution, can you?" I asked, a little bit smug fo
"You think we're scared of you?" The first maid asked, her face looking like a rotten tomato."If you aren't scared of me then I dare you to say what you just said to my face!!!" I shouted."You think I can't?" Maid one asked, I couldn't care less about knowing their names, it wouldn't add to my salary in any way."Say it and stop asking dumb questions" I pushed, praying for her to say it so I can finally vent my anger."Who do you think you are? You're just a cheap slut who thinks she can seduce her way into easy life!" Maid two said, her appearance is nothing to write home about."Ohh, you think I'm worthy enough to seduce the oh so mighty Mr Damon? You think too highly of me sweetie, but I'll have to thank you for that, you know you'll never be able to seduce anyone with a face like that!!" I smiled overly sweetly. I wasn't always like this, I was a shy, quiet little girl who was always afraid to fight back, but when you're always surrounded by hardship and conniving people, you'l
