MAID FOR MR. ARROGANT
Luna, and her journey of self-discovery and finding her place in the world. Despite initial difficulties, she realizes that she needs to adapt to her new situation for her own growth and development. Her mother wants Luna to pursue higher education and convinces her to study in Manila. She agrees, understanding that education is a powerful tool for personal progress. She prepares for enrollment and plans to leave for Manila soon. However, her encounter with Ryker Gregory, who seems to have negative feelings toward her, shakes her confidence.
“I find myself swept away by the profound emotions that linger in the air. It is a realm where authenticity becomes fleeting, leaving behind nothing but remnants of my once vibrant feelings. Thoughts echo within me, whispering their secrets and leaving me yearning for more.
Within the depths of my heart, I discover a peculiar contradiction—a longing for simplicity entangled in the complexities of love. Despite the dangers that lie in exposing my soul, it slowly emerges from its hiding place, craving connection and intimacy.
Words wield an intriguing power in this realm, embracing both poverty and richness. Love becomes the enigmatic pursuit we strive for, seeking to be seen and appreciated amidst the captivating beauty of the world. Yet, I encounter individuals who weave intricate webs of lies, whether out of habit or with deliberate intent.
In the face of such encounters, I am confronted with a choice—one that encompasses the essence of great and true love. As I traverse this labyrinthine journey, I embark on a quest to unravel the enigma of love. It is a search that takes me to the depths of my soul, forcing introspection and contemplation,” – Luna.

Chapter: Please fight for him, Evienne because I know he will do the sameZacky POVAs I was smelling the roses in the front yard. I saw a beautiful young lady smelling the yellow roses. I guess she didn't see me because she was enjoying it. She walked into the fountain so I approached her.I was shocked at first when she bowed like I was a queen. Her beautiful angelic face tells me that she's innocent. Her gentle and sweet voice's like music into my ears, ang sarap pakinggan. We had a nice conversation but sadly she had to go for her work. At first, I thought she was modeling because of her height and beautiful face. Good appearance.Pumasok ako sa loob ng mansyon at nakita ang anak ko na nakatayo at nakatingin na sa akin. I smiled and kissed his cheek."You're a woman is sweet, huh." I teased him."She's not mine." Then he passed me by.I chuckled."Not now..." pasigaw kong sabi dahil nakalabas na sya ng mansyon.Pumasok ako sa kwarto namin at nakita ang asawa ko na nagbibihis. Lumapit ako sa kanya at ako na ang umayos sa kanyang necktie. My boss-my husba

Ang sakit. Bakit parang ang sakit isipin na iiwan ko ang taong mahal ko?Kahit sa pagligo at pagbihis sobrang bagal ng kilos ko. Kahit sa paghatid ni Maximilian sa akin sobrang tahimik ko. He always kissed my forehead. He always asked me not to leave him no matter what, but I just smiled to him.I don't know what to answer.Ang sakit na wala akong masagot na mabibigay sa kanya. Karapat dapat ba ako para sayo? Ang babaeng hindi ka magawang ipaglaban? Mahirap lang ako at hindi ako nababagay sa mundo nya.Tuwing tinitignan ko ang mukha nya, lumalakas ang tibok ng puso ko.

Anong ibig sabihin sa usapan nila? Bakit parang iba ata ang dating sa mga salita ni Mama?"Mornin'."Naputol lang ang pag-iisip ko ng biglang pagbati ni Maximilian. His wearing his business attire, very good looking. I stared on his face. Why is he so handsome? Hindi naman ako ganito mag-isip pero hindi ko talaga mapigilan. I blushed."Why are you blushing?" He asked and touched my cheeks."H-hindi naman ah." Tanggi ko."Haha, why are you denying it?" He teased."Hindi nga. Ganito talaga ang mukha ko.""Well... for me you're blushing." He chuckled. "I love you, let's go."I looked down. My face heated even more. Kasing pula na siguro ng kamitis itong mukha ko. My heart is racing so bad. Bakit ganito ang epekto nya sa akin?Kahit nasa loob na kami ng sasakyan nya, sa sobrang tahimik ng biyahe baka marinig pa nya ang malakas ng pagt

Hindi sya nagsasalita habang ako'y nag-eenjoy sa paglalaro ng kung ano-ano. Napansin ko iyon kaya inaya ko nalang sya na umuwi.Panira talaga si Seraphina. Nagsasaya pa kaming dalawa, e, bigla nalang naninira. Masyadong kill joy ang isang iyon. Pero hindi parin talaga mawala sa isip ko ang sinabi ni Seraphina kanina.Alam mong hindi magtatagal ang relasyon nyong dalawa. Yes, I can't stop you but I can stop her. Sa akin parin ang bagsak mo, Maximilian.Parang echo ang mga salita na iyon na pabalik-balik sa aking tenga. Anong ibig sabihin non? Wala talaga akong naiintindihan. Nilingon ko si Maximilian pero diretso lang ang tingin nya sa daan. Sobrang tahimik nya naman ata.Hindi ko nalang sya pinansin at tumingin nalang din sa bintana. Maya't maya lang nasa palasyo na nila kami. Gusto kong ngumiti dahil tuwing sinasabi kong palasyo ang tinitirhan nya, tinatama nya a

I wore a red sleeveless dress that suited my fair complexion. With a smile, I gently touched my face and couldn't believe what I saw. Only a few things were done by Ate, but why? It seemed like I became more beautiful."Yes, I am beautiful!" I exclaimed and winked.She handed me her black clutch bag."It matches your outfit," she said with a hint of joy.I accepted it.

I'm really thankful to them for trusting me, at least to some extent.He just shrugged off my question. I carefully placed my bag down and approached him. "Where's Pa?" I wryly asked. A tray with snacks was already set on the small, fragile table between us."I'm glad you're here! I just need your company tonight," he muttered.

I added irritably.He slightly loosened his necktie."I just wanted you to know that I haven't forgotten about you." His response was cold.I sighed."Can we stop? It's not really my fault, right?
