"I guess she had successfully seduced him, and he punished him to become a maid."
Lily could see Olive in the kitchen. She had the face of an angel, and she could misunderstand anyone about her hidden intentions.
"Bring the cleaning tools. I'll instruct the girl to clean his toilet!"
The other maids gazed at each other with wide eyes. They had no clue what Lily truly meant.
"Today is not the cleaning day! He doesn't like to have a woman in his room!"
One of the women suggested.
Lily shot her a glare, "I know what I am doing. Did you forget that I'm the housekeeper?"
They shook their heads as neither wanted to be fired by their boss.
She set this up deliberately to make the young master disgust the girl.
Lily was jealous of this girl's beauty, and her eyes couldn't lie. She could still remember the servant who sneaked into his room and climbed into his bed. He called his men, and they tossed the woman into the sea. They didn't take her out unless she begged for mercy and almost drowned.
"Do you remember that poor maid they tossed to the sea?"
The girls exchanged glances and peeked at Olive.
"Elenore's destiny won't p*ss that incident."
She gave them a vicious grin and headed toward the kitchen. The others brought what she asked and followed her.

Olive's POV~
"Lily, do you have any idea when Mr. Johnson returns home?"
I asked and stopped them from gossiping behind my back. I could see and hear them buzzing, but I didn't care.
"Why are you asking me the same question repeatedly? Are you a toddler?"
Lily mocked me and giggled with the rest of the maids.
"Listen, I don't mean to disturb you..."
She interrupted me and hit my chest with a towel and a toilet brush, directing me to a bucket and a mop.
"It is your turn to clean the bathroom. Make sure you do your duty exactly how our young master orders. Do otherwise, they will punish you."
How she looked at me was nauseating.
I should've been in my cl*ss now. It was my senior year, and my grades mattered so much to finding a proper job. Besides that, as a secretary, my boss couldn't bear employees' vacation more than this.
"Fine, I'll clean it."
I let out the words between my gritted teeth. I was sure that they didn't know Edward and I were married. The butler notified them that I was a mere maid, nothing more.
I got back to that chamber. My body shivered at the thought of the hours I spent here.
That night, they gave me another room and put all my bags there. Moreover, I did not see him again, nor come to check on me.
He did not come to finish what he was up to that night.
Entering his luxury bathroom, I looked around. It was glowing and clean!
"What should I clean exactly? Even bacteria have a luxury life in this place! At least better than mine."
I turned around to find the faucet and fill the bucket but faced a screen.
"Crap! How does this work?"
I pressed on one of the bottoms and waited for the water to fill the bucket, but nothing happened.
Picking the bucket up, I went to fill it under the shower. There must be a faucet or a tap to help me.
As soon as I appeared under the shower, it began to pour water on me. I soaked within the first second.
"Ah, fu*k!" I spat the water in my mouth.
I walked away to miss my steps and hit something hard.
I had to find the switch. Vapor had already clouded to make my situation even worse.
Hot water burned my eyes, making me shut them close.
I had never worked with such advanced devices for a bathroom!
I stepped back to see who or what I hurt when I eyed the masked man again.
Water drenched me, and my white shirt glued to my skin. The worst part was that he was scanning me.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming!"
"What the h*ll is this?"
I lost the words and stuttered, "I...I did not know you were coming!"
"Did you expect another man?"
I was bewildered when he led the conversation to that side!
"N...No!"
"Then you were trying to seduce me!"
"I see! You use innocent games to lure men! How nasty!"
h*ll no! I was here to clean your sh*t, you dumb *ss!
I wished I could shout those words out loud, but the slightest mistake could lead my father to death.
"Good, then take your clothes off! We have unfinished business!"
His tone was as cold as that night.
I couldn't deny that trepidation pinned me to the floor.
"Listen, I don't want to be mean to you or cross my limits. Look, they sent me to clean here."
I pointed out the bucket and the tools I brought to clean the bathroom.
His sharp black eyes rolled where I pointed out but quickly flashed back to me.
"It is not the cleaning day!"
It was only then that I realized how dumb I was. Those wenches out there were planning to trick me.
What could benefit them to bully me and anger him? I sighed inwardly. They had possibly found me a rival!
That was silly because this man was heartless.
When I was about to think I came off in convincing him, he began to walk forward.
My back hit the wall, and he pressed on the screen, and the shower stopped working.
Steam began to dance between us, and I tried to push him away and escape, but he grabbed two of my hands and pinned them above my head.
"Excuse me! Did you not hear what I said?"
"Help, somebody, help me!"
My tears beaded in my eyes.
He was compelling me into something I didn't want.
"No one dares to stop me! Stop struggling like this. You make me more impatient."
His eyes explored my body. His hand grabbed hold of my button and tore the shirt.
"No, please! Stop it."
What I said just motivated him to go ahead and tear my bra off and toss it away.
It didn't matter that we were married. In my view, it was rape.
Mainly, he never asked for my approval. He was such a bully.
"Don't touch me!"
I begged and panted when he got close to my neck, "Are you still thinking about Jonathan?"
I was aghast!
Who the h*ll was Jonathan? I never saw my sister's boyfriend and gave no sh*t to his brother.
"Tell me, Elenore! Are you in love with my brother? That's why you are resisting and won't give me the fu*k I want?"
I could say nothing. With one mistake, If I confessed that I didn't know and gave no d*mn about Jonathan, it could make him suspicious. I was sure that he had searched for Elenore's information.
Today, I realized he had never seen my sister.
Unfortunately, Elenore and I had many similarities. The only difference was our hair color. My hair color was black and naturally wavy, and hers was straight brown. Our features had taken after our father in a feminine form.
Even if he had seen her images, they were mainly photoshopped. He couldn't find many differences. We had a two-year age gap and were not twins yet very similar.
Otherwise, he wasn't that dumb not to realize it at first glance.
Yet, I believed she was prettier than I was.
"Silence, again! I take it as your consent."
Edward thought I succumbed to the question, but I had other issues.
When I didn't answer him, he angrily pinched my n*pple.
My knees loosened, and I closed my eyes in despair, ready to endure everything.
When my fingers scratched his chest, his phone rang.
He let go of me, "Stay there!"
He checked his phone.
~
Edward's POV~
This girl! How could she arouse a tough man like me within a few seconds?
'She is making me furious! Somewhat, I can't say she is innocent. However, something is not in the right place.'
She confused me!
My body was showing a different reaction. My heartbeat began to race madly since the moment I saw Elenore.
And I couldn't say that was a good sign.
She was terrified, and I was enjoying it. She would tell Jonathan how I treated her. And I wanted that b*st*rd to suffer.
Just when I was about to make a move on her, my phone rang.
It was my friend Dane. One of the people I trusted more than my eyes. I couldn't ignore the call and walked a few steps away.
"What's the matter?"
Dane: "Where are you?"
"I'm with my wife!"
Dane: "Woa! You! Anyway, I have good news for you. We got an opportunity to deal with Jonathan!"
I closed my eyes and clenched my jaw! While they were trying to help me smash that b*st*rd, I was struggling whether to fu*k his lover or not!
Dane: "..."
He was talking when my eyes rolled on her, who was trying to cover her n*ked breasts. Scared?!
I hung up the phone as I heard enough.
Her eyes! They were not the eyes of the whore my brother loved. I felt annoyed and couldn't find the reason. I felt guilty for what I did to her.
A tightness pressed in my chest that made it hard to breathe! Not wanting to look back, I quit the villa.
Loosening my tie, I brushed a hand in my hair, ordering Huxley to bring my car. I couldn't stay in the villa and stick around her.
A shiver slithered down my spine, casting my body into a rigid state. Edward's presence possessed an enchanting allure, and I had never envisioned myself entangled in such a vulnerable predicament with a man.His overwhelming ego and ceaseless dominance loomed over me, leaving me gasping for air.Before this intricate entanglement had woven itself into the fabric of my life, I had been a formidable force, untouchable and unyielding. But for the sake of rescuing my father, I had been reduced to a fragile state.I stumbled out of the bathroom, concealing my breasts, my eyes landing on a nearby towel. Yet, summoning the courage to touch anything that belonged to Edward proved to be an impossible task. In this moment, fear, despair, and hopelessness threatened to eclipse my innate boldness.As I crossed the threshold, I confronted the individuals responsible for thrusting me into this nightmarish ordeal. They stood there, giggling and ridiculing, particularly Lily, who had orchestrated th
A few hours ago~Before Huxley could move to bring his young master’s car, a Bentley drove over and stopped before Edward’s feet.A handsome man with brown hair pulled his sungl*sses down.“Look at you. It seems you did not want to leave your wife’s embrace.”“Shut up, Kit.”Kit Davis, a 28-year-old man and Edward’s Best Friend, was sitting in the driver seat. He was the leader of the top European Mafia group called ‘League’. The strongest men in their enterprise feared his name, and no one had the guts to mess with this one.“Get in!”Edward sighed. He knew why Kit was here. Getting inside, he fastened his seatbelt, and Kit moved away.“You are not here to question me about my affairs, are you?”Kit smirked, “Nope, but I was wondering how this woman could seduce you.”He teased him.Edward ignored this taunt and looked outside.“Where are we going?”“Friends meeting!”“Dane called me, he must have gotten decent info. Are we going to Paradise?”Kit winked at him.After half an hour, t
Edward's Pov~Kit was always my dearest. He kept being by my side on tough days. Whenever I fell on my knees he was the one who persuaded me not to give up. And I trusted his instincts.I was about to say he should not worry about my affairs and sentiments when an uproar began to grow outside.Jumping on our feet, we gazed at Kit. He would never let our foes have the courage to stick around us. Our fame, our name was bigger than their dreams.Kit kicked the door open and thundered outside.I remember days when he used to fight in the streets. He had mastered his martial arts at a young age. And the one who first choked the dangers before they could arise and reach our throats.Among all of us, he was the one who couldn't bear sudden insolence. His history of the criminal world had made him cautious.It needed guts to break into our territory like this. Neither of us could endure trouble which could lead our name to media.We stood at the door frame to let him handle the situation. He
Olive’s POV~I was standing on the verge of life where my mind was blank. It could be an abyss within me, a thin thread that scarcely had kept me in this life. Every single misstep could tear it up to break me down.The wind pulled my hair, and I closed my eyes, opening my arms wide.I thought this marriage could save me from those pompous pricks I used to live with, but it pushed me into the arms of another devil. Edward would kill me soon or later after he disclosed the truth.“This can be the end. Who cares!”Just when I felt rubble slip under my feet, I fell on my back.Not a brave person would attempt to take her life. I should be stupid. It required courage to live this tough life. It was as if a quest to defeat others and earn your reward.I used to look at life like that before, but recently, I was frustrated and repeatedly asked myself what if nothing could change?And these words broke my thoughts when my body hit the hard stone.“No matter how hard it is now, you are smarte
The butler sat next to me. His face darkened and sorrow shadowed his expression.“Edward was a joyful, happy boy like every other boy his age. But that bonfire destroyed everything. Did you know he lost his mother on his birthday night? Everyone celebrates that night, but he can’t. His disfigurement, his mother’s screams in that fire, all of it still have side effects.”“I’m sorry. But should I bear his bad tempers because of his pain?”I felt pity for him, truly, I did.“However, I observed changes within a few days. He acts differently with you.” The man continued.“I don’t think so! He doesn’t like me.”“He does, and you can change him. He doesn’t know how to behave toward a woman. Perhaps you can teach him.”This man was a very benevolent liar!I wasn’t even able to save myself. How could I save another to change his life?“I sincerely thank you for being concerned about me.”It was all I mentioned, revealing the other side of the fact could lead this peaceful conversation to a sp
Olive’s POV~My fingers numbed and trembled behind me when we entered the bathroom.Standing still, he waited for me to undress him. My heartbeat raced in my chest. I swallowed and tried to keep my eyes away not to face him.It wasn’t the first time he would expose his body to me, but I couldn’t get rid of the next step he might take.Unbuttoning his shirt, I could feel his eyes on me. The surrounding air was intensely heavy, to me it was mingled with terror, but I was wondering how he felt when I was around him.Irritation? Then why was he resisting it?I could sense not the slightest tenderness.“Your cold hands are shaking!”He mentioned when I struggled to unbutton his shirt.“Sorry!”I speeded my moves and when my eyes caught his masculine body, my cheeks heated and burned.Despite his disability, he kept his body healthy and, as a nursing student, I must praise it.We all respect those who never give up on themselves after being harmed. For a moment, I was ashamed of what I did
Olive’s POV~Stretching my body onto the bed, I rolled over. Edward’s penetrating gaze was still displaying across my sight. It sent daggers down my spine to recall it.But a new day has begun.His anger used to bubble up swiftly and below upon me.Sitting straight, I looked at the window side. It was almost noon and for no reason, my body ached. I slept too much.My soles kissed the cold floor, and I sneezed. It was explaining why my body ached this much. Yesterday, I didn’t wear warm clothes and wandered on the beach for so long.Sneezing several times. Eventually, I got to my feet. A slight dizzy made me hesitate to take steps ahead.“The heater must be off!”The floor was cold and stung my soles.“Let’s believe that I didn’t catch a cold.”A knock on the door distracted me when I drew the curtains.“Who is there?”“Young Lady, you must go to the dining room.”Dining room! He wouldn’t want to eat with me then what was the matter?“I’ll be there soon.”I walked to the dresser and sl
Olive’s POV~Foreseeing what kind of punishment or behavior this time he would come upon me was tough.I crossed the corridor and reached the study. Before knocking on the door, I took a deep breath, readying myself to explain to him why I asked him not to eat lobsters.He might have lost his appetite for my insistence.After pushing down my terror apprehensively, I knocked on the door.“Come in!”On the first day, they tasked me to clean everywhere but the study. I wondered how he allowed me to enter this time.My eyes wandered around and took in the surroundings! His study was huge, with a cl*ssic warm decoration. I couldn’t have imagined he would love to study.Many thoughts and questions swarmed in my mind.Edward was sitting on a swivel couch near a bookshelf, holding a book with a thick spine in his hands, and when he noticed me, closed the book and placed it back on the shelf.I stopped right behind him.“Am I here for punishment? Listen, what I said was absolutely...”My voice
