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 you can compare me with these things? You're just a mop that is not even worth touching cheap urns! How dare you treat me rudely?""I am sorry to make you pissed off, Lady. You absolutely can't accept that I and Master Helio will get married soon. I know how deep down your feelings.""What a pathetic! I will definitely kill you!""Think about it wisely, Lady. I think this is not the right place to throw your anger over me. I can ask my bodyguards to throw you down, but that will only embarrass you since so many people are watching us right now. Please, consider it."Claudia looked around and realized Victoria's words. She was pissed off, but Victoria was coming closer."You must be so upset, but since the first time, Master Helio was the one who proposed. Maybe I will always look like a mop to you, but at least I am the woman Master Helio wants to marry."Claudia couldn't take it anymore, so she returned to her car and drove away with embarrassment.While Victoria was greeted by hands, clapping when she was back in her car."That was so nice, Lady!" said Helio, "how can a dirty mop change to a classy, expensive silk quickly? Wow, your development is like a female lead's extreme change of a romance book."Victoria had yet to respond. Even though she would marry Helio, their relationship was far from good. Victoria still hated Helio for all his games; she still saw him as one of the reasons her life went down."But she will not give me up," Helio said, talking about Claudia. "She'll be back and do anything to crush you up. What are you going to do?""She seems to love you so much.""She's obsessed with me.""That's good. I can use that feeling against her.""What do you mean?"Victoria looked at Helio; she was full of determination when she said, "If she loves you so bad, then I will make her can never have you. I will be your one and only woman until she cries a river of blood because she wants my place."***The wedding day was held so fancy.Victoria was in the dressing room, a little bit nervous. This was going to be her first day to meet all of Ruthner's family, including Helio's father, the head of Ruthner's family.Victoria paid attention to the door; Helio walked in with a neat-classy look. His body was muscular and tall, with that handsome face making him look like a prince.But the excellent appearance was ruined when he said."Not that bad for a dusty mop." He mocked Victoria, even though she looked heavenly pretty today."What have you prepared for today?" Asked Helio."A trick to look sincere when I read the wedding oath?""Haha, that's good. But you're going to meet my family. Don't you a little bit nervous?""I am trying to show professionality. Revenge without professionalism will look dumb anyway."Helio just laughed at Victoria's words, even though the woman didn't like it because Helio's laughter always sounded like a mockery to her."I want to ask you one thing: why did you buy me?""Gosh, do you still want to know the reason?""What the hell did you think I am not going to be mad after being treated like stuff? You could get me for free since my father didn't want me, but you still bought me.""Well, rich guys loved to buy something unworthy, just to show off that we had a lot of money. I am the one who offers your father to buy you. I know your father could give you for free, but I want to give you the feel of something that can be sold, bought, and thrown away. That's fun to watch."Victoria might regret her decision to ask."And you must be wondering why I am toying with you, but I will never let you know. You must be desperate to be punished when you don't know your fault."Victoria sighed, but suddenly, the door was broken into by Claudia.She came with anger, but she didn't touch Victoria and just said, "Say goodbye, bitch. I will kick you soon of Helio's side!""What a spectacular greeting from a broken-hearted lady," replied Victoria. Claudia was angry but could hold herself just to say something big."You will never steal Helio from me! I will marry him!" Victoria flinched her eyebrows, but Helio didn't seem to be surprised."Our family relationship is so close, also with our business. Page's family is a good business friend to the Ruthner family, and I will make it clearer by marrying Helio!""So, you okay with a business marriage?""Fuck about business marriage; I will do anything just to make sure you can never be his woman! Of course, Sir Desmond Ruthner will choose me as his daughter-in-law, not a poor woman like you!"Victoria laughed as she enjoyed Claudia's sharp words."I am sorry, Lady Claudia, but I will not go that easy. I'll ensure I am the woman Master Helio wants to marry. Sorry to make you upset.""What? Shit! Do you think Sir Desmond will let you do that?""Lady Claudia, please stop embarrassing yourself like this.""Shut the fuck up!" Claudia gave Victoria a hard slap. "Don't be brag, bitch. You can't win against Sir Desmond's decision. Even Helio knows well what will happen if he goes against his father's words!"Claudia walked to Helio. "Tell her, Helio. Tell that bitch you're going to marry me! If you do not marry me, I will cancel all of Page and Ruthner wires, and you know what consequences await you.""In the end, you use the threat." Victoria laughed."I am not talking to you."Victoria looked at Helio, waiting for him to speak. She knew that Helio didn't want to marry Claudia, and she confidently believed that Helio would choose her."I will marry you two."But that statement broke Victoria's trust."I can't ruin Ruthner and Page's good relationship, but I can't let Victoria go. So, I only need to marry you two. Stop fighting and be ready; I will try my best to be fair."Helio smiled at Victoria, but that was a mockery.Helio knew Victoria would not let Claudia have him; he heard that oath yesterday. But Helio did it intentionally, breaking Victoria's confidence in shame."Haha." Victoria laughed; she knew that Helio only wanted to play with her. He tried to play Victoria like a doll, but shewas not going to let it happen."I will kill you, Helio Ruthner."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
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." Vic
