"What's up, bro? How are you doing?" Nicole asked after hearing Derrick's deep voice. "I'm fine. Surprise to get a call from you this morning. How are your family doing?" Derrick inquired, to which Nicole responded, "All good. So what are you up to now? You know it's the weekend. Did you manage to ask Alexa out on the date we spoke about?" Nicole inquired. "Well..." Derrick was done dressing up in a blue shirt and black pants, and he was also wearing his black shoes that were resting beside his luxury bed. "I did, but I invited Alexa over to meet with our mother," Derrick replied, wearing his shoes as he discussed with Nicole about Alexa coming to visit. "Oh! That's nice, so you plan to settle down with Alexa, right?" Nicole sounded hopeful. Derrick replied, "Maybe, if Mom approves of her." "Okay, then. I'll keep in touch with you to know about Mom's feedback," Nicole said, "Do take care, baby brother." Derrick smiled after his phone call with Nicole ended. He kept his phone and
In the evening, Alex arrived home with Derrick and Juliet. Alex had not been himself after seeing the little boy, Jayden that resembles him. Getting out of the car, Alex entered the living room with Derrick and they saw Lady Loretta in the living room with Celine. "Mom!" Alex felt all the blood in him drained out on seeing his mother, Celine. Miranda with the rest of the maids were on duty attending to Alex's mother, Celine Jackson, as she wore a crimson gown and looked back at her son. "Is that the right way to welcome your mother?" Celine asked, and Alex frowned. His day had been completely ruined after seeing his son, and Derrick didn't waste time in snapping the little boy photo and sending it to Alex's mother. They agreed on the phone call conversation that Alex must marry Juliet whether he likes her or not, and also, Derrick had to render an apology to Juliet's family on behalf of their absence in Jayden's life. Miranda looked at Juliet's face and she saw the joy imprinte
Derrick's brows furrowed as he was silent at first. After a while, he said, "That's fine. I will let my mother know that you're unable to visit us. How is your health now?" Sighing in relief, Alexa replied, "I'm getting better. Please, do not be offended with me. I promise to keep up with my visit next week." "It's okay. But you will be around in the office by Monday, as we have some pending works to do," Derrick said, suppressing his anger, to which Alexa replied, "Of course. I will be at the office by Monday. Thank you for understanding with me." "It's nothing. Good night." Derrick ended the phone call, and his anger was evident. He had heard about some women experiencing pain during their menstrual cycle, but he hadn't thought Alexa would use that as an excuse not to visit his family's house the following day. Sighing, Derrick went back into the mansion, and his mother was still engrossed with her conversation with Celine. Seeing Derrick enter the living room again, Lady Loretta
Miranda was in her room, searching her wardrobe for the clothes that she would buy as it was already month-end. She had received her monthly payment, and she gathered all her boxes out, thinking to discard some of her old clothes.As Miranda was living inside the mansion, she doesn't usually go outside of the gate to go for her shopping or to hang out anywhere. She thought about Alex's proposal for them to go to the cinema, but seeing he was with Juliet, Miranda knew that Alex wouldn't have time for her.It was already late night, and she had jotted down all the clothes that she would purchase at any shopping vendor close by, as she didn't want to wander off or get lost.Miranda would have preferred to do her shopping online, but knowing that clothes come in various sizes and she had seen some folks who had received some different items from what they had ordered online. She decided to go out for her shopping the following day.Staring back at her room clock, just as she shut her ward
The following day in the Luis mansion, Miranda woke up in her bedroom preparing to have her bath as the day was Sunday. She is aware that she had to hurry up to assist in preparing Lady Loretta's bath and also in assisting the older lady in dressing up.Quickly alighting her bed, Miranda bolted into her bathroom and sped up with her bath. Then, she stepped out and walked into the room to don a blue blouse and black skirt.Walking to her room mirror as the time was still after 6 am, Miranda quickly combed her hair, then she applied her orange cream and finally packed her hair neatly.Miranda and the rest of the maids didn't usually attend church or any holy sermon grounds. She quickly exited her room, then proceeded to the second side of the mansion.As Miranda arrived at Lady Loretta's room, the rest of the maids were tidying up the mansion, sweeping and cleaning the living room and the rest of the surroundings to look neat.Ella also arrived to join Miranda, and the two women went in
"Miranda, get the drinks from the fridge," Lady Loretta said. She was an old lady, the hostess of the villa, and it was her only son's birthday celebration. "Okay, Ma," Miranda answered. As a young lady in her early twenties, Miranda wore a pink dress. It was nighttime, and they were preparing a birthday party for Derrick Luis, the only son of the Luis family. Out of seven children, Derrick appeared to be the only son of his rich family. Many guests were already present in the Luis family mansion; among them were top admirers, business partners, and their family members and relatives, but the birthday celebrant wasn't at home. Far away at a luxurious firm, Derrick Luis was still at his office when his mobile rang out. "Hello, Mother," he picked up the call, and his mother said to him, "Derrick, you know that today is your birthday. So where are you?" Looking at his wristwatch, Derrick observed it was already 6 p.m. He replied, "At the office, mother." "Come home, Son. It's your bi
As Alexa and Nicole excused themselves from the rest of the guests and went upstairs, Miranda had already heard their conversation as she was serving the guests drinks. But any conversations having to do with Derrick, Miranda was equally alert. The top floor was off-limits. Derrick hated to be disturbed, and Miranda was well aware of this. But she also wanted to know what Alexa and Nicole were going to do on the top floor. Seeing how elegantly and beautifully Alexa and Nicole looked in their dresses that swept the floor, Miranda was only jealous and wished she wasn't a maid. Aside from being a maid, she had managed to gain some college education, but she couldn't resign her contract as a maid yet. Not when she admires the most handsome man on the planet. "Ouch! Watch where you're going," a guest yelled at Miranda for stepping on her toes and also losing her grip as the tray went off from her hands and stained the guest's dress. "How dare you, you lowly being, stain my white dress?
Lady Loretta was dismissing the maids to clear the used plates and empty bottles and to also tidy up the living room after all the guests had left her mansion. She noticed the lady wincing in pain and alighting the staircase with so much difficulty. "Melody," Lady Loretta looked shocked upon seeing how Melody looked so disheveled, like she was beaten to a pulp. "What happened to you?" Lady Loretta inquired in shock while all the maids in the living room also paused to look at Melody, and they gasped at the horror at which they previously saw the arrogant lady now look. "Milady, it was one of the maids. The maid you assigned to show me to the top floor. She dealt with me." Melody managed to speak as her cheeks were visibly swollen. "You mean Miranda did this to you? I don't believe it. Miranda is innocent and cannot hurt a fly. Ever since Miranda has been working here with us, she hasn't gotten into a fight with any of the maids that I am aware of. Are you sure you're referring to M
