"SERENA, sir Heskel is calling for you.""Yes,"Panying glared at me. I ignored her and just fixed my uniform before leaving the room."It's really annoying! Because you escaped, I'm the one getting irritated! I have to report everything you're doing here to sir Heskel! I'm even better than your assistant, damn it!"Panying complained as she walked alongside me.She was so irritated that she couldn't help but pinch my side."Damn it! More work, I already have so much to do here! You really don't spare us, do you?"I tried to distance myself from her as we walked, feeling like my skin was peeling from her pinches.I couldn't retaliate because I was the one who tried to escape last week. Instead of fighting back against Panying, I chose to stay quiet and avoid confrontation.Until we reached Ezekiel's room, that's when she stopped bothering me.She knocked on the door. "Sir Heskel, Serena is here.""Come in."Luckily, this time no other woman came out of his room, unlike before.I wonde
The cold breeze continued to sweep over my body as the windows and terrace of Ezekiel's master bedroom remained open."Hold me tight," he whispered seductively in my ear.I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck as he commanded.We quickly captured each other's lips, even though our mouths were filled with saliva, my throat remained dry and thirsty."Oh, Serena... you just don't know how dazzling you are," he praised, making my heart skip a beat."Dazzling? Even with the lights off?""Yes," he said firmly.I still don't know why he's acting like this. But I don't want to question him and make him upset.I swallowed. I didn't know how to respond because I was used to his praise."Serena," he trailed his lips from my lips down to my neck.I shivered every time I felt his bites and suckling on my neck. The sensation was so pleasurable, especially combined with the effects of the chocolate I ate.While his lips were busy trailing down to my plump breasts, his hand was busy tearing apart
"Ever since she arrived here, so many people have been affected! First, it was Barbara and Davina, even though it was her fault because she's a thief! Then Auntie Oprah got kicked out. Danilo just arrived, but she already flirted with him and caused trouble. And she even gives headaches to Panying! What will happen to this mansion?""She's like a termite, that woman! Look, next thing you know, there won't be anyone left!""Oh my! It's already hard to find a job these days! What will I feed my children if I get caught up in that woman's mess?""It's better not to get involved if you don't want to get in trouble!"I continued washing the dishes while listening to the conversations of the three housemaids in the dirty kitchen.It's amusing how they treat me as if I'm deaf, pretending not to hear them, or maybe they intentionally want me to overhear."Can you believe it? Auntie Oprah has been here for years, and Sir Heskel just kicked her out like that. What will happen to us newcomers?"
"Twenty-six... twenty-seven..."As I watched Ezekiel swim back and forth in the twenty-meter swimming pool, continuously without stopping or coming up for air, it felt like I was the one running out of breath.He had already done thirty laps. It seemed like he was practicing to become a fishing boater or something.For some reason, I haven't seen him working lately; he's always hanging out here in the mansion. Occasionally, he would leave with his right-hand man, Ramil.For some reason, I felt uneasy as he swam endlessly. He was fighting against the force of the water's waves. It was as if he was channeling his emotions through the crashing waves.Was it because of Auntie Elizabeth's disturbance earlier this morning?"Forty-three... forty-four... forty-five..." I bit my lower lip. "Ezekiel!" I raised my voice to make sure he could hear me. "Ezekiel!"He seemed to be planning to drown himself. Well, he could do that if he wanted, but not in front of me, or I might have nightmares for th
The next day, I woke up early to prepare. I didn't wear my usual maid dress, but instead, Ezekiel gave me a new white dress to wear.I've been wondering why he always gives me white dresses. From sleepwear, to casual wear, and now even for going out, it's always white dresses.I think it's his fetish."Wow, wow, wow! Why is Serena wearing that?" I heard the maids whispering behind me as I stood at the mansion's entrance. They were the ones who were gossiping in the kitchen yesterday. Their eyes were filled with mixed emotions - curiosity, admiration, and concern."Is she going to be a lady again?" one of them wondered."Hey! N-No way! Impossible! I won't allow it!""I'll resign if that happens."Their reactions quickly changed as they gave me a nasty look. I rolled my eyes at them and flicked my hair back before turning around to face them."Wow!""She's so arrogant!""Just because she's wearing expensive clothes, she thinks she's someone!"I couldn't help but smirk. My lips curled up
"Serena, how... how did you get here?" Raquel approached me as she was being pulled back to her place by Auntie Elizabeth."Who do you think you are to step foot in this place?! You're so shameless, aren't you?! Leave! Get out of here!!"She was about to come at me, but Ezekiel's men quickly positioned themselves to block her and prevent her from doing anything."Sorry, she was instructed by our boss to stay with us," one of them said with confidence."You Heskel's servants again! Always controlling me! Disgusting! You have no right to stop me because you're not in your territory, you peasants!""Mom!" Raquel immediately stopped her. "You don't have to say things like that. Restrain yourself.""Well, it's because..." she calmed down slightly. "No matter what, your brother never stops irritating me! He'll probably only stop when I'm attacked and my heart gives out!""Please don't say something like that, mom.""Well, if you don't want that to happen, get rid of this woman in front of me
How come... no one else is bringing up the fact that Ezekiel was cheating on me throughout our married life.I looked up at the sky. It was about to rain in a few seconds.I silently walked alongside Ezekiel towards the parking lot of the cemetery where the car, along with Kuya Pier, was parked."Hold my hand," he commanded, extending his hand towards me.I didn't look at him, losing interest in even glancing at him. But I still followed his request. I loosely held his hand, unlike before. I only maintained the grip when he forcefully tightened it."What did Mother tell you earlier before I came back?" he coldly asked."Nothing." I laughed bitterly, my gaze lost in emptiness. "She just blamed me for Uncle Ross's death.""Tsk!" he grumbled in frustration. "Don't let her words get through to you. She's talking nonsense.""If that's the case, isn't it true?""Of course not—""Isn't it true that because of your search for me, you neglected your responsibilities? To the point of worrying a
Ezekiel was looking through the window, watching the rain pour heavily.He had just finished showering and changing into his home clothes while waiting for Ramil to arrive at his office.His mind was still racing from the argument he had with Serena at the cemetery.Every word his wife said was etched in his mind. But no matter how many times they played in his ears, he still couldn't understand.He knows he's damn smart to even become the person he is now. But with Serena, all his rationality, logic, and reasons all fell down to nothing but a heavy flow of emotions he couldn't even explain to himself.Why... is she saying that he's a cheater or a liar? And even called him a womanizer. Was it because of Candice? The slut he paid for that night just to make Serena feel jealous, even the slightest bit?He believed it didn't work from the start, so he decided not to call her again to play pretend.Also, Serena brought out that woman, his ex-fiance, Marian.He instinctively held his chest
