CHAPTER 11
Estella wasn't sure which stance she would adopt. She was restless after telling Lucius not to be nice to her because she might fall for the young man. She had been turning around on the bed and was unsure of her position. She admitted the truth to him and couldn't have been more careless with what she said. She wants to escape as soon as possible because she doesn't want her heart to fall for the young man. You'd think that at her previous job, a lot of people tried to flirt with her. But her response was always, 'I don't want to; that's not on my mind yet because my priority is my family.' Gosh! Then she'll fall for someone she shouldn't have because they're so different. A big. NO! Never. "What brings you here?" She was anxious and unsure of who was speaking near her room door—whether it was the police or Lucius' manager. "I'm here because I'm worried about you," says a woman. She tried to eavesdrop on the conversation through the tiny gap in the door and saw the lady the youn

CHAPTER 12
"I'm so sorry but I have to call a guard." After Lucius said that, Estella got even more nervous under the bed. The two argued for a while before the guards arrived and seized Vanessa, who was still making a noise. Estella was horrified by what she saw and felt bad for Vanessa. Because Vanessa was able to be pushed away by Lucius, what else could Estella possibly be? Estella's self-confidence remained low even further. That is nothing to be proud of. "Get the hell out of there." It was Lucius' voice. She crept out from under the bed and stood in front of the young man with a line of irritation on his face. She felt that her character was very shallow in front of the young man like she was worthless trash. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to listen in on your talk with Ms. Vanessa, and I assure you I have no intentions," she said, bowing to the young man. "Do you know that if you hadn't been able to hide, you may have ended up in jail? And the netizens might even have celebrated you and

CHAPTER 13
She took a deep breath and braced herself for the inevitable realization that hit her like a ton of bricks: she had to clean the entire condo. Since she arrived at the young man's condo, Liam had not let a cleaner in, so she was the one who cleaned every day. She started cleaning and cleaning every part of the condo. She wiped down displays, cleaned the kitchen, swept, and now she is mopping the floor. While Estella was mopping the floor, she didn't notice that a small figurine had fallen. And she accidentally stepped on it, so she lost her balance. She closed her eyes because she knew what was going to happen next. And that's exactly what happened; she saw stars as she fell to the floor. "Ouch!" She screamed because of the sudden and intense pain she was feeling. "My ass..." She rubbed her butt when she felt the pain from falling to the floor. She hit the unforgiving floor; she fell hard, and she didn't know if she would be able to stand up in that position. She didn't intend to

CHAPTER 14
"Keep quiet. I'm going to sit you down on the sofa and then you need to rest there for a while. You're injured, and I don't want you to strain yourself." He carefully butted her away from struggling, before gently sitting her down on the sofa. She couldn't help but smile. She could smell the young man's sweet, fragrant scent; here she was again, and sending her feelings for the young man. "Wait, there's a broken figurine I need-" "I'll take care of it." The young man answered immediately. "B-but-" "No buts. Go to sleep." The voice says it with such authority. "Thank you, but I'm not sleepy. I should even cook because I know you're hungry-" Lucius cut her off with a smile. "I will cook. I know you're hungry too, wait for me here, okay?" He said with a small, but still noticeable, grin on his lips before going to the kitchen to start making lunch. Something touched her heart because of the young man's sweet, considerate behavior. No matter how much she disobeyed her heart and wa

CHAPTER 15
The young man walked quietly while Estella frowned, and then followed the young man with her eyes; he placed the tray he was carrying on the side table. Will he eat in the room? I don't know what's going through this man's mind. Estella talked to herself because the young man's behavior was strange and off-putting. Lucius smiled and said, "How about breakfast in bed?" "Huh?" She answered while not being able to look directly at the young man. He sat on the edge of the bed, facing her, and offered her a plate of food. "I thought you might be hungry, so I brought you something to eat." He placed the plate of food on the bed next to her. Is the food he brought for her? She had warned the young man not to be too nice to her because she was about to fall for it, and that was what she feared would happen. Last night, he also prepared a meal for her. And now here he is, again. She's not sure what to think or how to feel, but one thing is for sure: she can't keep ignoring him. "Why did y

CHAPTER 16
Why is the young man acting this way toward her? Is he chastising her? Maybe it's because it's enjoyable to watch her go insane and then leave when he knows she's falling. She stopped thinking when she felt him land on the bed, and she knew the young man was behind her. But she stopped even more when she heard the sound of the blower, and she felt a tickle on her neck as he applied the blower to her hair. She wanted to take the blower from the young man and tell him to stop, but she couldn't open her mouth or move her body. "Lucius?" Estella called the young man's name. "Hmm?" It's a sweet voice. Estella sips milk before continuing to speak. "I've told you I don't want you to be good to me, right?" "Yes, but did I really say yes?" The response battered her chest. "But, if you're just punishing me, may the punishment be different? Don't play with my feelings, don't play my heart; you can come up with a lot of ways to punish me. Just please, don't-" "Just like?" He asked as the

CHAPTER 17
"Lucius, I told you to manage our company, not be an actor, and now what? Look what's happened; all you've worked for has just gone in a flash." "Mom, why did you invite me here? Is there an important event?" he asked his mother, ignoring what his father was saying to him, which he had no intention of listening to. "Lucius. It's time for you to take responsibility in our company.” His father said sternly. "You must understand that you can't just do whatever you want without considering our business. Your mother and I have invested a lot of time and money into this company, and you need to show respect for that. You need to make sure to take the necessary steps to ensure that our investments are protected and that the company is run properly.” “No, I don’t want to be involved in your company.” “Lucius, son, why won't you listen to your daddy? We just had dinner together.” Before, Lucius listened to what his dad was saying; now the situation is very different because, when he looke

It felt like he was a kid again. He slowly took a spoonful of the dessert, and it was sweet and creamy - just like his mother's love. He couldn't help but smile as he tasted it. He looked at the Leche flan in the Llanera molder and he suddenly thought of Estella; maybe she likes Leche flan. He took it to give it to Estella. "Can I take two?" He'll ask his mother. "Of course, son!" says his Mom. “Thank you so much, Mom. You’re the best as always.” "You must have gotten it from your daddy, who loves to flatter." When he heard what his mother said, he lost his appetite. “No mom. Actually, I am more like you since you are a responsible and loving mother to me. You're always there for me and understand what I'm going through." “That's so sweet of you to say! It really means a lot to me that you recognize my efforts as a mother. Thank you for the kind words, I'm so proud to have you as my son.” He took a deep breath, looked away from his father, and closed his eyes. He didn't want h

CHAPTER 19
Lucius had left the house 15 hours ago, leaving Estella alone and restless. She was already concerned about the young man because she hadn't seen him since the morning and didn't know what time it was. He still hadn't returned. It's been gone all day, and she can't sleep while she waits. And while she waited here, frustration gradually ate away at her heart. She was worried every time she didn't see the young man for the entire afternoon because she suspected he was up to something she wasn't aware of. She didn't completely trust Lucius. But she had no choice but to wait for him. She was beginning to feel restless and decided to take a walk to clear her head. As she walked, she tried to think of anything else besides the young man. Her brain and heart felt like they were going to explode with worry and wondering. She got up and looked out the window, but she couldn't hear any cars. She walked to the door and put her hand on the knob, but she didn't turn it. She was too afraid of what

CHAPTER 20
She was drowning in every kiss that the young man gave her, so she couldn't stop herself from moaning every time he licked her lips. "Hmm.." He drew in a sharp breath, calling her name breathlessly. "Estella?" "W-what's that?" "I'm so sorry.." "Sorry for? You've been apologizing for a while now." She answered the young man, looking a bit confused. Lucius took a deep breath before speaking again. "I apologize if I kissed you without your permission or if I caused any confusion. I shouldn't be so concerned about you. But every time I see the sadness in your eyes, my heart and mind tell me that I need to protect you. I'm also sorry if you're thinking of giving yourself away just because you've done something wrong to me. I don't want you to think that, because you are a good and innocent woman who should be respected." She wanted to cry because of what the young man said. “No, you don't have to apologize. It's fine. I wanted that, so I could make it up to you. I'll just give myself
