Done with work for the day, I decided to go pick Ava up from school. Changing my clothes, I packed my things and left."Anna!!" Ava shouted from afar, running towards me and throwing herself at me, I caught her like always."How was your school today?" I asked her, pinching her chubby cheeks cause it was so soft and cute."It was amazing, I made a new friend and we played in the slide" she answered, with her hands playing with my hair."That's great, Ava. Should we go get ice cream to celebrate your new friend?" I asked, knowing fully well what her reply would be "Yes yes!!!" She shouted, jumping happily.Chuckling, we went to a small ice cream stall and I got her favorite chocolate flavored ice cream and mine, strawberry.Putting her down, I held her left hand and we walked home, her kindergarten isn't far from our house. Feeling the burning sensation of someone staring at me, I turned to check but there was no one around, maybe I was just being paranoid.Getting home, I made lunch
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
