On getting to his room, the maid excused herself to leave but Roland held her arm and halted her movements.

"You can't just leave yet!" Roland stared deeply into her brown eyes as if his life depended on them.

The maid's heartbeat accelerated as she didn't know what he met by her not leaving yet.

She was just a maid and nothing more and couldn't believe that the Young Master was a pervert.

Roland saw that she was scared that he might eat her up. His lips curved in a smirk as he let go of her arm.

"I want you to help me prepare a hot bath and also prepare the cloth that I'll put on," Roland ordered in a hoarse voice.

The frightened maid nodded in agreement. When she was about to inside the inner room to prepare his bath, his question caught her unaware.

"What's your name?" Roland asked as he crossed his legs elegantly while sitting on the sofa.

"Seraphina, sir!"The maid called Seraphina didn't take much time as she dashed into the inner room to perform her duties as the maid that she w

Her eyes were puffy, hinting at tears she had shed in his absence. She looked up, her gaze filled with concern and compassion."Roland, I'm so sorry for everything," Seraphina said softly, her voice trembling. "I never wanted this to happen. I never meant to hurt you."Roland sighed, the turmoil within him evident in his weary expression. "Seraphina, I... I don't know what to believe anymore," he admitted, his voice laced with a tinge of vulnerability. "Butler Lucas told me the truth about Alex, about his origins. It's hard to fathom."Seraphina reached out, her hand gently touching Roland's

Seraphina, sensing his distress, approached him cautiously."Roland, please," she implored, reaching out to touch his arm gently. "There's more to this than meets the eye. Perhaps there's a reason why Alex was named as the heir. We should consider all possibilities before jumping to conclusions."Her words only fueled Roland's frustration. "How can you say that, Seraphina?" he snapped, pulling away from her touch. "After everything we've been through, all the evidence of his true nature, you expect me to believe he's the rightful heir? It's preposterous!"Seraphina's eyes filled with concern as she watched Roland struggle with his emotions. She knew the depths of his convictions, but she also believed in looking at the situation from all angles."Roland, I understand your anger, but we must keep an o
