As he arrived home, he walked into the house happily. "Mom!" Derrick rushed to meet her and hugged her.

"Welcome back, Mom," Derrick said, and his mother replied calmly, "Thank you. You look so happy. How are Miranda and Oliver doing?"

"They are fine, Mom," Derrick said, still smiling, and that made his mother look relieved.

"I am happy to hear that. It's good to see that she has forgiven you. So when did you both plan to marry?" Lady Loretta asked.

"Soon," Derrick said, standing up from the couch. "I will propose to her, I have lovely plans for that. So don't worry."

    "Miranda, get the drinks from the fridge," Lady Loretta said. She was the lady of the house, and it was the birthday celebration for her only son."Okay, Ma," Miranda answered.

"Hello, Mother," he answered the call."Derrick, you know that today is your birthday. So where are you?" his mother asked.Looking at his wristwatch, Derrick saw it was already 6 PM.

    As Alexa and Nicole excused themselves from the rest of the guests and went upstairs, Miranda had already overheard their conversation while serving drinks to the guests. She was particularly alert whenever discussions revolved around Derrick.The top floor was off-limits; Derrick hated to be disturbed, and Miranda was well aware of this. However, she wanted to know what Alexa and Nicole were planning to do on the top floor.Seeing how elegantly beautiful Alexa and Nicole looked in their stunning dresses that swept the floor, Miranda felt a twinge of jealousy, wishing she weren't a maid. Although she had managed to obtain some college education, she couldn't resign from her maid position, especially when she admired the most handsome man on the planet."Ouch! Watch where you're going!" a guest yelled at Miranda for stepping on her toes. She lost her grip on the tray, and it slipped from her hands, staining the guest's dress."How dare you, lowly maid, stain my white dress? Do you have

    As Lady Loretta dismissed the maids to clear the used plates and empty bottles and to tidy up the living room after all the guests had left her mansion, she noticed a lady wincing in pain as she descended the staircase with great difficulty."Melody," Lady Loretta exclaimed in shock upon seeing how disheveled Melody looked, as if she had been beaten senseless."What happened to you?" Lady Loretta inquired in disbelief, while all the maids in the living room paused to look at Melody and gasped at the horror of how the once-arrogant lady now appeared."Milady, it was one of the maids—the maid you assigned to show me to the top floor. She attacked me," Melody managed to speak, her cheeks visibly swollen."You mean Miranda did this to you? I don't believe it. Miranda is innocent and wouldn’t hurt a fly. Since she started working here, she hasn't gotten into any fights that I know of. Are you sure you're referring to Miranda, or was it another maid who did this to you?"While the older woma

The night was chilly, and it also seemed like it was going to rain soon.Derrick reflected on what his elder sister had said about him dating Alexa. He liked Alexa, but he wanted to focus on his father's firm first and expand it to other states, as well as open mini-branches all over the world.Returning to his room, Derrick noticed an unfamiliar scent lingering in the air. Switching on the light, his deep blue eyes darkened at the sight of a lady's gown and pants on the marble tiled floor.Not only that, but he also heard a feminine voice humming inside his bathroom. His room was very spacious; it included a study room, a relaxing room, and a library where he had studied some of his books before graduating two years ago.
