DianaI heaved a deep sigh of relief when Rutherford finally opened his eyes. He has been unconscious for the past four hours. I wonder what Ethan did to him. Not like I care but if he is to die, it shouldn't be in my house. I can't afford to give the hungry public any opportunity to slander my reputation.He slowly sat up on the bed wearing an expressionless face. I waited for him to say something but he didn't, rather he kept staring at me. It felt as if he was trying to pierce through me and take a peek at what was going through my mind."What?" I fired when I couldn't stand his stare anymore. Does he know that I purposely sent him to Ethan to get beaten up?."I'm ready to divorce you." He dropped the bombshell, causing my eyes to widen in disbelief."What?" I just wanted to make sure my ears weren't deceiving me."You've always wanted to divorce me right?. I'm ready to grant you your wish"My heart leaped for joy as a wide smile appeared on my face. But at a second thought, I paus
DianaI slowly opened the door to behold Dad pacing to and fro the large office. I swallowed hard and walked in."You called for me dad" I said.He turned sharply to me with a hard glare. Mt heart missed a beat as I wondered what was going through his mind. Is he angry at me?. Or is he thinking of questions to ask me concerning the conferral letter?. Gosh. But I know nothing about it.Dad suddenly started clapping as his once puckered face cowered into a broad smile. "Well done princess. Well done."I blinked my eyes in confusion. Why was he thanking me?. I forced a smile at him."I knew you were as smart as your father. For a while, I have been wondering why you were so obsessed with being with Ethan not knowing that you saw something. You should have told me earlier and I wouldn't have let you marry that loser." He giggled excitedly.Dad really believes that Ethan has the conferral letter. What if he finds out that it was a lie?. Phew. I should think about that later. I must do anyt
RutherfordI sat down sadly on the table as I watched my ex wife dress up with a big smile on her face. She must be so happy to get engaged to the heir of Silverado's empire. Such a gold digging bitch.After what took forever, she turned to me with a smirk on her face. "How do I look?"I took a closer look at her. She was dressed in a pink short gown, revealing her fair, slender legs. Her heavy make up gave her a bossy look and made her look a bit different."I asked you to commend me and not drool" She sneered and slipped her legs into her white glassy heel.She picked up the divorce letter from the center table and walked away without even turning to see the sadness on my face. She must be so heartless. Few metres to the door, she paused and turned back to me. Did she read my mind?."Make sure you are gone before we return. My husband wouldn't be happy to hear that my wretched ex husband is still living under the same roof with his queen." She let out a loud laugh before catwalking
EthanI sat down on the couch with my legs crossed opposite Mr Roger and her pretty daughter, my soon wife to be. I had invited them to my personal suite at the quiet part of the city. For security reasons, i come here whenever I want to discuss shady businesses.I grinned as Diana handed over the two documents to me with a broad smile. I returned the smile. Such a naive lady. I turned to take a look at Mr Roger. What could be in that conferral letter that he's ready to give his precious daughter to me?. Why does he look so desperate. I need to find out what it's about.I handed over the document to my lawyer who was seated beside me. I had to come with him. Greedy people like Roger can't be trusted. "Now that I have given my daughter to you and also shown you a proof that I have named her my heiress, can you now hand over the conferral letter to me?" Roger said.I signaled one of my goons who was standing behind me. He quickly handed over the fake conferral document to me. "What cou
RutherfordIt was a sunny afternoon and all of a sudden, the beautiful weather changed and was replaced with a stormy one. Everywhere became dull, like it was going to rain heavily. I hurriedly suspended my work, picked up my briefcase and hurried out of my office, into the elevator. I will be named the heir today and I can't afford to be there late. I had a lot of contract to handle at the office that I almost forgot it was the D-Day. The elevator finally dinged and I scurried out of the main building, totally ignoring the wondering faces of my employees. They wouldn't understand how important this day is to me. Few metres away from my car, I almost collided into a woman who seems to be running away from someone. "Help me sir" She whispered, breathing heavily.She was shabbily dressed and had some cuts on her worn out clothes. Looks like someone was trying to kill her with a sharp weapon."Please protect my daughter" She pleaded, bringing me out of my thoughts. "What?. Look I'm in
Ria"Failed." The young man who seems to be the boss roared for the fourth time. "I have lost interest. Get rid of all of them. They look useless" He ordered and made to leave.My heart missed a beat. Is this going to be my end?. I swallowed hard as I thought of a way to get out of this. I felt my life span reduce with each steps that the cold hearted man took. I know that the moment he leaves this building, I will be as good as dead.Few meters to the door, I forced myself to say. "This is wrong sir. It's not fair of you to completely fail someone with just a slight flaw"He turned back sharply to see who the bold lady was. What was I thinking?. Isn't this the shortest route to death?. But then it is better I die trying than not doing anything."With all due respect sir. You shouldn't judge us by our little flaws rather you should give us an opportunity to prove that we're capable, this would only mean that you are fair." I said with all the boldness I could gather. Merely looking at
RiaI twitched my lip. Does it mean that this is the first time the cold governor is taking a maid in?. But why the sudden decision?. Could it be because I challenged him?. Now I see the reason why those men from before looked worried. I'm doomed."Whatever. My name is Gloria and she's Zoey " She said pointing to the young lady behind her. Zoey was dressed in a black gown and white fluffy slippers. She had a fair complexion and her brown shadowed hair tumbled down her shoulder. "I am the one in charge of the kitchen and smooth running of this mansion. Zoey is in charge of the laundry room. The young master didn't give a specific job to you but he asked that you get trained to be a perfect maid. "I raised my head in disbelief. A perfect maid?. She stretched out her hand towards Zoey and she placed a badge and some documents on her hanging hands.Mrs Gloria pushed them into my hand. "This is your job batch. It will be your identity card in the house to avoid been tagged a trespasser
EthanI swallowed hard as Grandma stared at the television with clenched fist. "The dead bodies of a business tycoon Mr Roger and his daughter was found in their mansion few hours ago. Rumors has it that the son in law Rutherford had mudered the father and daughter after they had forced him into signing a divorce letter. The young man and the document papers are nowhere to be found. The police confirms him as a prime suspect and is in search of him...." The female journalist blabbed.Grandma picked up the remote and turned off the television. She wore a puckered face and I knew what would follow next."Do you realize what your carelessness would have cost us if I hadn't intervened?" She growled at me.When I returned that day, I had told her everything because I knew that she would find out about it sooner or later from another source and that would make things more difficult. And just as usual, she lashed at me and called me many names. I almost strangled her wrinkled neck when she b
Rutherford I stood before a floor-to-ceiling mirror, surrounded by an exquisite collection of tailored suits, silk ties, and designer accessories. True to her words, Salia had ordered new clothes and these ones had a few colorful clothes among them. Not like I love wearing colorful clothes but because a mission which requires putting on a colorful clothe might come up anytime and I hate been caught unawares.With a focused gaze, i meticulously selected the attire that would epitomize my commanding presence. Each garment was carefully crafted to fit my athletic frame flawlessly, accentuating his charisma and determination.As i slipped into the immaculately tailored suit, the fine fabric embraced my form, molding to my body like a second skin. It screams a touch of luxury and serves as a reminder of the success I had achieved through relentless pursuit of my goals.I moved with a practiced elegance, fastening buttons, adjusting cuffs, and when I was done, I walked and stood in front o
Selena (Ria)Donned in my uniform and cleaning supplies, I embarked on my daily mission to restore order to the vast expanse of opulence. The grand entrance hall greeted me with its towering marble columns, intricate chandeliers, and a majestic staircase that seemed to ascend into the heavens.As i stood at the threshold, my eyes widened at the sheer magnitude of the task ahead. The mansion, with its countless rooms, hidden nooks, and forgotten corners, held secrets and stories within its walls. I have been served by others all my life but here I am serving others. It's been four days of relentless cleaning classes by Mrs Gloria and here I am, struggling to put everything I have learnt into practice.My first destination was the ornate library, a treasure trove of knowledge, its shelves lined with leather-bound books. I delicately ran a feather duster along the shelves, removing the thin layer of dust that clung to the forgotten pages. I carefully rearranged the books, ensuring each f
