"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

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

Derrick hadn't thought he would be able to resist Miranda. She was so alluring; her captivating presence had awakened something deep in him, and after returning to his bathroom, he wanted to take a bath to relax his arousal, but then he remembered Miranda had used his bath. Never had Derrick shared his bathroom with anyone before; now a maid of low status dares to use his bathroom and also his sponge and soap. Derrick felt irritated and wanted to discipline the maid, but how would he report such news to his mother? His mother was already over 70 years old. What if his mother had a heart attack and fainted as a result of the shock? "No, I cannot let my mother find out about this," Derrick said. He was enraged as his desire still throbbed and ached, needing that round figure to cool it off. "Damn it! What kind of temptation is that? I guess I should have that maid fired tomorrow morning. Isn't she the same maid who dared to beat up Melody to that extent? I see that she's on a mission

"Derrick, come here. I would like to have a word with you," Lady Loretta said as she called her only son back. She knew that Derrick was not pleased with her actions in pardoning Miranda; however, she liked Miranda a lot, and since Miranda had not wronged her personally or done anything wrong to the other maids, she couldn't simply terminate Miranda's employment at her home.More likely, Lady Loretta had more hidden objectives. She could not just disclose her plans yet, as she had taken Miranda away from the orphanage home personally and enrolled the young woman in school.There was a time when Lady Loretta had gone to the orphanage home for one of her leisurely, kind-hearted works. There she saw the beautiful young girl, who was not happy and was mostly staring at the door.Lady Loretta knew the young girl's wish was to leave the orphanage home and go outside to the world beyond and establish herself. She never disclosed to Miranda that she was the woman behind Miranda's freedom. She

Even Miranda was taken aback by the new man's words. She just walked into the living room, slowly closing the door behind her back. Miranda didn't want to believe that Alex was as troublesome as Derrick."Oh! That was a rude thing to say, Alex. You should have simply said that you dated Juliet before. I know Juliet Colton is not from a poor home like the rest. She is a classy, bossy girl who also exudes an air of superiority. I did my research about her and heard she had a child out of wedlock, which is the reason her billionaires' parents' sent her away from their mansion.""She was pregnant?" Alex looked stunned, but Juliet was more than embarrassed that her life secret was now public knowledge. She immediately ran away from the living room to hide her shame."Juliet, where are you running off to?" Lady Loretta asked in a low voice. As she called Juliet back, but the latter didn't respond and ran away to her room. To cry it all out.The tension in the living room intensified, and Mi
