Ethan, I said surprised.I swiftly moved in and caught her, pulling her close to my chest to prevent her from falling, and holding her upright.I gaze at her in astonishment, taken aback by her unexpected presence.

Chapter: Chapter 9: Destiny Yet to be Determined
As I gazed at him once more, taking in his strikingly handsome features, I began to understand what Maya had seen in him. There was something about being near him that sent shivers down my spine. It was hard to believe that I had only briefly harbored a crush on him.No, that couldn’t be possible.“What on earth are you talking about?” he asked, his eyes widening as he stared at me. His lips parted slightly, and I found myself wanting to kiss him again.I must be losing my mind, or perhaps this man has some sort of magical influence. If he truly believes that Maya will leave her husband for him, he’s gravely mistaken. He’ll be waiting an eternity.“I’m telling you what your mind refuses to acknowledge. Do you even know my nickname?” I said with a smirk. “It’s ‘the snail.’ I always stick to the side of truth.”He lets out a soft chuckle, “Your nickname doesn’t even fit the description. Can a snail really tell the truth?”Feeling a wave of embarrassment wash over me, I frown at him. Thi

Chapter: Chapter 8: Disrupted Plot
After carefully placing the tray on the bedside table, I hurriedly exited my room, my heart pounding with urgency. As I stepped into the hallway, I noticed the maid still walking away, her back turned to me.I paused at the threshold of my room, leaning against the door-frame. “Wait!” I called out, my voice echoing slightly in the corridor. The maid stopped abruptly and turned to face me, her expression a mix of surprise and apprehension.I approached her with measured steps, my gaze fixed on her. “Why did you forget what you were supposed to do?” I asked, my tone firm yet curious.She stared at me for a moment, her eyes wide and dark, reflecting a mixture of emotions. “I…” she began, her voice faltering. Then, as if overwhelmed by the weight of her mistake, she bowed her head. “I’m sorry, mistress. I have forgotten!” she apologized, her voice barely above a whisper. Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees, her posture one of complete submission and remorse.I let out a deep sigh

Chapter: Chapter 7: Hidden Treasure (Cont'd)
"Caleb's words are firm and final, 'That's how Maya likes it, and it's not up for debate.' He turns to leave, his hand releasing mine as he reaches for the door handle. 'I'll take my leave now,' he says curtly, his tone implying that the conversation is closed. His abrupt departure leaves me feeling frustrated and slightly bewildered, wondering what just happened and what exactly Maya's influence has to do with my own autonomy.""I stand there, frozen, as Caleb opens the door and slips out into the hallway, the soft click of the door closing behind him echoing through the room. The sudden silence feels oppressive, and I'm left alone with my thoughts, wondering what just transpired and what lies ahead in this strange and mysterious world.""As I take in my surroundings, I'm struck by the cozy and eclectic charm of the room. The plush bed looks inviting, the TV seems sleek and modern, and the vibrant drawings on the walls add a pop of color and personality. The space feels like a unique
