EMILY POVIt was a bright morning when I woke up and yawned, feeling free because Jezebel and her two little devils, as I loved to call Isabella and her daughter, weren't here to boss me around.I felt relieved,is this what freedom feels like?.I had only been treated badly for a few months ,but it seemed like forever to me.Feeling contented and free,I went to the bathroom and took my bath.I checked the clothes that I brought with me and decided I wanted to appear very simple,so I picked a tight blue jean and black tight fitting off shoulder top,that didn’t require me wearing a bra,because I hated wearing bra.I dressed up and packed my hair in a messy bun,tucked the off shoulder top I wore into my tight jeans and headed out carrying my phone.On my way out,I went to the receptionist post and handed the keys to her.“Good morning,here are the keys,I’ll be back before my time for payment expires” I said, handing her the key.“Ok ma’am,have a nice day”she said smiling.I reciprocated th
ETHAN’S POVIt’s a bright summer morning,I am still in bed,when a loud knock interrupts my sleep.I turned around and checked the time, “shit!” I cursed and literally fly out of the bed.”I can't believe I woke up at 9am,I was supposed to have a meeting by 9:30am!”I checked my alarm and saw it was faulty,well I couldn’t blame anyone, because I didn’t I live here permanently.I hurriedly walked to check who was at the door ,I wasn’t surprised to see that it was my younger sister Ava, I opened the door and asked with a straight face”what?”.She smiled and replied “Good morning to you too Ethan”I rolled my eyes."Not now Ava"I groaned,knowing the reason why she came here.“Aren’t you supposed to have a meeting by 9:30?”she asked,I didn’t answer and hurried into the bathroom.I came out and Ava was still here sitting comfortably on my bed,I rolled my eyes at her and facepalmed.As if that was the cue she needed she proceeded to say”Grandma is going on and on about how you have come of age ,a
EMILY P.O.VI am so excited I got the Job at the Belford’s mansion. At least I would be able to save up some money. Staying with them means I don’t need to worry about accommodation and payment of house rent.The bills will be much easier for me.Granny, the grandmother of the Belford’s,was kind enough to employ me as her personal maid.She is so kind ,humble and polite unlike her grumpy,arrogant,rude and proud son.I always overheard Charlotte and Amelia discussing him,how he is New York's most handsome eligible bachelor and how he refused to date or even touch anyone since after the death of fiancée Sophia.Charlotte always spoke of how she always saw him from a distance each time they went for fundraising or a ball ,she always says she would do anything to be with Ethan,I consider it shameless because that would mean she’s throwing herself at a man,i think to myself and can’t help but roll my eye.Judging by how Ethan treated and spoke to me it shows he clearly doesn’t want me working
ETHAN’S POVWe arrive at the front of my company’s building ,Harris parks the car and the bodyguard outside opens the car door for me ,I hurriedly walk in,my workers who are on floor greet me and I just answer them with a nod.Normally each time I come to work,I take the stairs instead of the elevator so that I can see what’s happening around my company before heading to my office.But today I am having a meeting with new investors and I am damn late so I take the elevator,I see some of workers who want to use the elevator too,but once they see me coming they give way for me to go and no one dares to come in as I walk into the elevator till the door closes .The door to the elevators closes and I click the button number five,it starts to move and stops on the fifth floor of our company where the conference room is located.The elevator door opens,I walk out and head to the conference room.I see my assistant standing at the door of the conference room waiting for me.“Good morning Boss,
EMILY P.O.VThe men who are after me keep banging the door,I look for another way to get out of the room but don’t see any other option asides to jump down throw the window.I peep to window and see that it’s not too high,Luckily for me all my personal belongings fit into my bag.I carry my bag and throw it down and it lands on the floor,thinking fast I fold the bedsheets and tie them up in the form of a rope,tie it to the leg side of the bed and through the other side out the window.I hurriedly use the bedsheets I tie as an assist to climb out the wall through the window.I hear the men chasing me finally break open the door.Luckily for me I am already down and ready to run for my dear life.I see them peep down and one of them shouts”Hey,Emily stop right there”.I pick up my bag and run to the road and hail the next available taxi I see.The taxi driver stops,I hurriedly push my bag inside and tell him to drive faster to the Belford’s Mansion.I look back and see that the SUV is still f
EMILY’S P.O.VI woke up feeling okay but I knew the day was not going to be okay just like every other day, sighing heavily I climbed out of bed to kick start the day when I heard a loud knock on the door and I froze in my spot. I could roughly guess who it was but I couldn't pinpoint it, the knock came again retrieving me from my train of thoughts." Come in" I answered and he walked in as handsome as always with a smile on his handsome face.“Good morning Emily,how are you feeling this morning?”.“I am okay,thank you for treating me yesterday “I paused and fiddled with my fingers”I’m sorry but I don’t have any cash to pay you at the moment,I promise to pay you when I am paid my salary by the end of the month,how much is my bill?”I asked him hoping it wasn’t very costly.He looked at me with amusement clearly written over face,he chuckled and said”You don’t need to pay for the treatment,the Belford’s have taken care of it,to be honest even though they hadn’t I wouldn’t have asked you
EMILY’S P.O.VOn our way to Ethan’s house,I couldn’t stop thinking about what Granny said. How on earth am I supposed to change this Asshole? Just sitting in his car with him gave me a claustrophobic feeling.But looking at him up close made his handsome increase,his pointed noise and damn he has a kissable lips,he looked like a Greek God,I also noticed he had broad shoulders that would be good for a warm hug ,what was i thinking I shook my head as I screamed in my head”he hates you so you better get your head and thinking straight”I thought and breathed in and out.I could see him through the corner of my eyes,staring at me like I was insane or something.He sat very far away from me. I thought he was going to pass through the door and fall out.I would have been very happy,what a crazy thought,I laughed.He turned and looked at me like I had two heads and asked “what is so funny?”.“This is your car you don’t need to feel uncomfortable because you don’t want to sit in the same place wi
ETHAN’S POVImmediately Brad brought back the information I told him to gather about Emily,that was when I thought I was too harsh towards Emily,maybe I should loosen up a bit and become friendly.It turned out Emily wasn’t a spy like I thought she was,she was just a girl who was betrayed and abused by the ones she called family,she had to work as a maid in her own house,a family that she was a heir to,that was an inhuman act done by her stepmother and sister.Now I remember why I thought her face was familiar when she first came to search for a job at the mansion,she was the beautiful girl that came out to attend to me,the day I angrily went to the Jones mansion.I actually thought she was a maid,a beautiful one though.Turns out the poor thing was trying to escape from her stepmother and sisters.Speaking about her stepsisters,I can remember through the pictures I saw,that Charlotte was that so called Sophia's best friend,who kept throwing herself at me after Sophia's death.I can see
