“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's hard slaps and words made her couldn't help but feel the woman's strong dominance.Elsie wanted help from Claudia, to come and reprimand Victoria, she was sure Claudia will win.“What are you doing, you slum rag? Who do you think you are?”Elsie smiled, finally help came.But her smile disappeared when Victoria slapped Claudia's hand hard.“Put your hands away. I haven't finished yet.”Claudia was stunned and lost for words for a moment.“Listen, all of you! Tonight I found this maid fast asleep in one of the rooms in this house. She told me boldly that she usually did that and I shouldn't disturb her sleep. Are you guys also doing the same thing because you only have one master?”The servants bowed their heads in fear. They were Victoria's bullies, and now definitely didn't expect that Victoria would do this as their new mistress.“And does the butler of this house didn't discipline her juniors well?”Nelly, the butler flinched when Victoria mentioned her.She was silent with sweat on her forehead, slightly pale then looked down deeper.“I'm sorry, Mrs. Victoria! I will definitely discipline them well after this. Please forgive my negligence.”Victoria felt a little satisfied seeing Nelly bow obediently and fearfully towards her. But the problem wasn't over yet."What are you doing? Do you want to act arrogantly now?"Claudia pulled Victoria to look at her."How pathetic. Just because you are Helio's wife, you immediately take revenge? Stop this cheap show because I'm sick of seeing it.""You have to restrain yourself from throwing up.""What?""Yes, because it's still not finished." Victoria turned to Elsie. "So, you still don't want to apologize?" she asked Elsie, but it seemed that Elsie didn't want to apologize to Victoria."Mrs. Claudia...." Elsie called Claudia, her eyes was looking for a help.Claudia moved fast, but Victoria moved faster to grab Elsie's hair and pulled her to scream."I talk to you and how dare you look at someone else?" said Victoria. "After yelling at me, pulling me, and disrespecting me, you are still so arrogant to apologize properly. How could you work for this grace family? What a shame, lady.""Please, let me go~""Not that easy this time." Victoria answered with a cold smile. "Then should I kick you out if this house so you can reflect on your mistakes?"Elsie startled to hear that."No... no... don't fire me, please. Mrs. Claudia....""Do you think she will help you? How funny." Victoria laughed, sending Claudia offened. "Look at her now, she just standing right there, can't do nothing to help you even though you was so hard on working just to be on her side. Now, the only one who can help you is me, Elsie. I... the one you always bullied with your bold tongue and cheap attitude."Victoria softly said it to Elsie, making her chilled and scared even more.To the point that elsie had realize, she should kowtowed to Victoria and begged for forgiveness."I am sorry...," Elsie said trembling."I can't hear you.""I am sorry... I am sorry, Mrs. Victoria! I have been rude to you, please forgive me. Don't fire me, please, Mrs. Victoria."Victoria stood up, so Elsie could properly kowtow to her.With a cold stare, Victoria looked at Claudia. She showing off her win on a point, that she had the authority of this house like no one could stop her.It pissed Claudia off. She ran towards Helio."Honey, why are you just standing right here? You see what she's doing now? She tries to act like she has authority, when she absolutely doesn't deserve it. Tell her to stop acting like she's the mistress of this house, Honey!"Helio was enjoying the show, but his smile fainted and he stared at Claudia coldly when her voice sounded getting higher."Why are you scolding me?" asked him."What? I am not....""She's my wife, so let her do whatever she wants," Helio said. Now he lost his mood to watch the show until the end, and he wanted to go back for a rest.But Claudia stopped him like a child."But I am your wife too! I am the one who deserve to hold the highest authority of this house. I am the one who's gonna descipline the maids, not her!""Oh wow, are you the new owner of this house?"Claudia fell silent."I am the master of this house and I am the one who holds the highest authority here. If I let her do that, you should realize that she can do what she wants only if I gave her permission. Now if you get it, go back to your room and don't wander around me like a cat. I hate it."Helio returns to his room, leaving Claudia in shock and disbelief for what she heard.If Victoria had the authority over all of the maids, then it was what happened. Helio gave her the right and it was just making Claudia couldn't believe it.Claudia looked at Victoria who also looked at her. But now, Victoria could give her a haughty smile, like she was won and Claudia was the loser this time."Shit. Did I lose to that slum rag?"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
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
