Angelina walked fast toward Victoria, slapping her hard.
Victoria felt her ears were ringing, but she could remain calm and stood upright."What the hell did you do? What kind of trick do you do to manipulate all of this? You want revenge?" asked Angelina, looking at Victoria from head to toe and laughing mockingly. "And what's with your new looks? Are you trying so hard to make it look like things have turned around? Change your surname to Ruthner like you're going to be his mistress. Don't you so pathetic, Victoria? Know your real place!"Victoria gave no response but a cold stare and silence, making Angelina angry."Are you can't talk anymore? Say something with your fucking mouth, you bitch!""Are you done?" Victoria replied, asking in calm. "I am still quiet because I'm waiting for the wind to stop blowing. Because my words will not be heard if the wind keeps blowing the empty can, making it noise.""What did you say? You call me an empty can?""Listen to me, Angelina Addam." Victoria interrupted, then looked at Edward, who was trying to hold his anger. "About the biggest stock of your Father's company, I am the owner. I asked Helio Ruthner to do my thing, and he did it perfectly. In the end, the true businessman knows what to do to gain his profit, including how to treat his enemy.""Enemy?" asked Edward, complaining. "Am I an enemy of Helio Ruthner? Our relationship even runs so well until you break it all. Tell me, Victoria, what kind of trick did you use to fool Sir Helio? Do you spell on him?""A spell? Wake up, Daddy. Are you this desperate to find a logical reason so you think I use magic to trick you?"Victoria's brave words pissed off Edward, Angelina and Orlando."If you worry about this, I will kick you out of your company. Don't worry, I will not do it," said Victoria, making Edward lookn't expected for a while. "I will not kick you out, but I'll make you out with your legs, just like the way you kicked me out of this house.""What? What do you mean?""As the highest stock owner, I can change your place anytime. But I will let you be the director and my doll. Will I run your company to the highest state or the mud puddle? It's up to me. But I will make it seem as if it's happening because of you since you are the director. Isn't it funny?""FUNNY, YOU SAY?"Edward almost slapped Victoria, but she gave him a warning sign."I will not let you touch me even a fingertip!" Edward spontaneously stopped. "And I will make sure you will be punished for every pain you give to my body!"Edward put down his hand; he knew the one behind Victoria.Victoria sighed, then threw three invitations to the table."I will short this up and go away."They were looking surprised after learning about the names on the invitations."In five days, I will marry Helio Gillian Ruthner. I want you guys to come to bless me. Bless me with wishes, happiness, or madness. I am not bothered with that."Victoria glanced at Angelina, insinuating Angelina with what she once said."Marrying Helio Ruthner? How can you do that?" Angelina trembled in anger.Victoria answered her calmly. "Well, you once said that I am a slave and have to obey what my master says. If my master commands me to marry him, what can I do, sister?""Impossible! Helio Ruthner definitely will not propose to you! You're a pathetic girl who came into this house in my Father's pity! If not for my Father's kindness, he would not pick up your mother, who looked like the dog got caught in the rain!"Slap!Angelina shut her mouth in shock."Why do you so pissed?" asked Victoria. "And if Helio Ruthner truly falls for me, why can't you accept that? Do you think that a woman who sleeps with her sister's boyfriend is worth it more to get his attention? I am sorry, lady, but he's a young master of a blue-blood family with no poor taste.""Victoria, you!""Once more, I indeed come for revenge. Is it strange?" Victoria didn't look scared, making Angelina couldn't defend herself. "But the revenge doesn't stop with this slap, Angelina; you deserve to get more than this. Your fall starts now, like a roller coaster that always goes down, never running up. And it will not stop before I say so. I take the control."Victoria walked upright and left the room. The sound of her shoes was clear, echoing like a countdown to destruction. She leftWith no power to pay back, Edward, Angelina, and Orlando held their embarrassment. At the same time, Helio waited for her in the car."Huft….""You must be trying hard to hold that scared so you're not looking so pathetic in front of that predator," Helio said, mocking. Victoria didn't pay attention and was looking at the street. "But you look cool enough to scare them. I should record all the things.""Yeah… you should see it.""Your ankles look tense a little bit. Should I buy you flat shoes since you're not used to putting that expensive thing on your feet?""Thank you, but the only thing I wish is for you to shut your mouth.""That's quite rude. Don't forget that you are the slave one here, lady."Victoria didn't say anything."Our next move is to buy a wedding dress. Shall we speed up—"The brakes sounded so loud, and the car suddenly stopped.Victoria was shocked and panicked, while Helio laughed when he learned about the reason.Claudia almost hit their car. She stopped before Helio's car and walked closer like she was about to flip the thing up.Helio was about to go out, but Victoria held him."Let me talk to her."Helio mocked her with a laugh."Do you want to be her mop again this time?"1 "I am not gonna let her do it anymore." Victoria opened the door, ready to face Claudia's rage. "However, I will get married in five days and not let anything scratch my body!"Victoria faced Claudia. Lady Page seemed to have a lot of curses toward Victoria in her eyes."You look so different from the last time I saw you, Victoria," said Claudia."You're right. This time, I do not look like a wet cat.""And you seem to be bolder. Because you wear that expensive dress and diamond, you think you're on the same level to talk haughtily to me?""Our level will never be the same, Lady Claudia. I just put these things on as a formality. After all, I must look decent because the man I will marry is a noble."Claudia clenched her fits after hearing Victoria call Helio."God damn it!"Claudia swung her hand toward Victoria's face, but Victoria managed to hold her, sending Claudia to surprise."What?""Why do so many people want to slap me today? I'm sick of this scene." Victoria said while Helio smiled when watching her."I am sorry, Lady Claudia, but I have to keep my face to stay flawless until my wedding day. I can't let you touch me.""How dare you! Do you think y
Victoria entered Helio's house with a deep breath.Time flies so fast, and now she comes as Helio's wife.But Claudia also came as Helio's wife, standing 5 feets next to Victoria."What a tiring day. I'm going to rest and I hope you two don't fight while I rest." Helio spoke, passing by Claudia and Victoria.Claudia always wanted to seek Helio's attention. She ran after Helio to the stairs."Honey, can I rest in your room too? That's our room now, right?"Helio stopped, letting Claudia's hand go from his arm."There are no shared rooms. You sleep in your room and you, Victoria," Victoria looked at Helio who was calling her.It looked like Helio wanted to say something, but he sighed and said, "Do what you want, just don't disturb my rest."Helio went to his room, while Claudia also left after smiling haughtily at Victoria."Damn it, this is annoying me," Victoria said, still angry from Helio's game. "He knew that I planned to make Claudia suffer by being his only wife, but he married
“Please let me go~ let me go, it hurts!” Elsie's screams seemed to fill the house, bringing people out of their rooms to see what was happening. Helio came to see what chaos was happening in his house, and he smiled when he saw Victoria at the front of the stairs, forcing Elsie to follow her by pulling her hair. “I just gave her the permission and she did it right away. Really impatient.” Helio crossed his arms, watching what would happen next from the second floor. Victoria pushed Elsie hard onto the floor, the people saw that in shocked, including Claudia."What are you doing?" Claudia asked in a high voice, looking angry but Victoria didn't care and shouted. “I'm going to get clear about something here so you all listen carefully,” said Victoria. “I am the mistress of this house! And I have the absolute right to take care of whatever happens in this house, including disciplining an ignorant maid like this one!” Elsie was scared. She didn't want to admit Victoria but Victoria
Victoria carried out major discipline at Helio's house for the next few days. It wasn't just discipline, but a way to cut off Claudia's movements by throwing away her dogs. "Please don't fire me, Mrs. Victoria. I don't know where else to work but here." Victoria didn't care when the servants who used to bully her, now kneeling at her feet—begging not to be fired.Including Bertha. “I don't want to take risk for keeping evil people like you, So get out of this house now while I haven't created bad track about you here." “But we've worked for master Helio for years, Mrs. Victoria!” “And the problem?” Victoria asked coldly. "Because you've worked here so long, you think I can't get you out, Bertha?" Bertha held back panic. If Victoria fired her, then that was what would happen. Victoria looked at Bertha; the maid must have felt annoyed but couldn't do anything. Who would have thought that the girl she used to bully so bad would now make her kneel down and beg for forgiveness? “D
Everyone looked at Helio who was talking while leaning against the large pillar of his house. They all fell silent in obedience, no one made a sound even though Victoria seemed to be rolling her eyes lazily. Helio walked towards them. "I said do whatever you want, but just don't bother me. Do you know what it means if I come to this place?" Helio asked, standing in front of Victoria who was glaring at him. The tension between Helio and Victoria seemed to create a small spark, but it was soon extinguished when Claudia interrupted him with, “You see, Honey! That woman tried to throw away my servants!” Helio glanced coldly. Claudia stood next to him, seeking for his attention. “Se's taking revenge! Throwing away my trusted servants as soon as she entered this house! Keep repeating the words that she is the mistress of this house like a neglected person and it makes my ears hurt! Are you going to letting her to be more shameless, Honey?” Helio answered without looking at Claudia. "W
Victoria Addam couldn't even keep track of how many times her head had been forced underwater in the sink. It was a struggle to catch her breath, and she had no way to defend herself. But it seemed like her tormentors weren't satisfied with just that."I've had enough of this witch! She's always trying to get Master Helio's attention like some stray cat!" Bertha, one of the senior maids in Ruthner's house, sneered."Tell us, you little brat! What did you do to make Master Helio propose to you on your very first day here?""And how dare you try to steal Lady Claudia's position? You, who came here to pay off your parents' debts!?"Bertha yanked Victoria's black hair hard, giving her a brief respite. Victoria glanced toward the door of the laundry room, where Claudia Page looked on coldly. Amy Key, Victoria's once-faithful best friend, stood beside Claudia. It was because of Amy that Victoria found herself in this nightmarish situation."Amy...." Victoria's voice trembled with disappoint
Victoria got home in the morning. She went through a long way to get back to her town. Instead of looking like a girl who worked in a big city, Victoria looked more like she just came out of a stormy rain.“Lady Vic….”She had just passed some maids who tried to greet her; she walked toward her father’s study room and couldn’t wait to cry in his arms. But she stopped before opening the door when she heard Edward Addam talking to someone else inside.“You sent your youngest daughter to that heartless rich family, huh?”“Where have you been, Mario? She had been going two weeks ago.”“How’s she doing? Don’t you want to know?”“Is it good for me? She must be too busy to survive. QLiving as a maid isn’t easy, right? Mario… Finneas.” Victoria held her tears; she was sure to walk in, but she froze when Edward said, “About Victoria… I don’t want that kid to come back. I’ve been waiting so long for the time when I can throw her away from my life.”“That’s evil, dude. What if she hears your wor
Victoria opened her eyes in a classic fancy room, quite shocked because she recognized that room."I thought you were dead."A deep, cold voice made her look for the owner, and she saw Helio Gillian Ruthner sitting on the side corner couch while looking at her."You really want to kill yourself after learning the truth. I should not let you know.""You don't have a right to hide the truth about me.""For your sake. I don't want you to die since you don't have my permission." Helio stood up, walking toward Victoria. "Don't forget, you are my slave."Victoria only stared coldly; she didn't desire to live since that painful truth and betrayal from her loving relatives.All of that got worse when Helio saved her and greeted Victoria with such a word when she woke up."Why did you save me?" asked Victoria, "you know I am not gonna say thanks to you, right?""Of course, I know. I didn't save you for humanity or because I care about you. I don't want my money to go in vain if you die before
