Miranda had finished up her dinner and also returned to her room to have her bath. She tried not to think about Derrick or his mother and how her day had been hectic with a lot of jealous maids gossiping about her.Miranda entered her bathroom to have her bath, and after she was done bathing, she heard a knock on her bedroom door, startling her."Who's there?" Miranda inquired, but Juliet quickly peeked her head into Miranda's room and informed her, "Miranda, Master Derrick requests that you see him upstairs immediately.""Why?" Miranda asked, but Juliet quickly responded, "I don't know. He only sent me to call you, and he looked so annoyed. So hurry up."Juliet left, and Miranda, who had just finished bathing, quickly dried her wet body and wore her milk-colored nightgown. Miranda could have opted to wear pajamas, but she didn't know why Derrick had sent for her either and she couldn't keep him waiting.With nervous strides, Miranda quickly exited her room and ran upstairs to the top
Miranda hadn't anticipated the kiss, as Derrick deepened the kiss, not giving her a chance to breathe. His lips savored every part of her soft lips, kissing her fervently and drawing her in to himself as he wanted to ravish her.His body had been burning hot with intense desire to quench, and having her standing so close to himself. Derrick couldn't explain what came over him, and as their lips parted, they were both breathing heavily, while Miranda was stunned and wanted to bolt away from his sitting room, not expecting Derrick to kiss her.She remembered his mother had told her that she wanted her only son to marry her, and that was why she had adopted her. Although, Miranda's heart grew with excitement as her heartbeat quickened, but with the way Derrick had spoken to her so softly and with the way his lips tasted of alcohol in her mouth, she knew he was drunk and acting under the influence of alcohol, as the real Master Derrick that she knows was arrogant, mean, and he disliked po
"Hello, Austin. Come into the house immediately, there's someone I need you to get rid of. Fast!" Derrick ordered, and without being told, Miranda quickly picked up her nightdress and wore it as she searched his room for her pants. She knew pleading with the cold man in her presence was a waste. Her mind told her the previous night that he wasn't in his right frame of mind, but she fell for his drunken side - he was so handsome, kind, and sweet with his words the previous night. And she didn't even know the moment she parted her legs widely open for him to grant him entrance into her body, and now he was sending her away like she was a prostitute that he was paying off for their encounter."Take the money and leave. I don't want to see you here again," Derrick said, and Miranda begged him, "Okay, let me go and get my bag. I need my clothes and my phone.""No way. So that you can escape and run to my mother's chamber and cry to her. Leave!" Derrick's voice became colder as he couldn't
"I'm sorry, Ma. But I searched everywhere and I didn't see Miranda. She's not in her room or around the mansion either," relayed the maid, with her head bent lowered."Where could she be? Did she leave the house this morning? Are her boxes still in her room?" Lady Loretta asked, becoming worried as she knew Miranda had been behaving strangely recently."Yes, Ma. Miranda's bag is still in her room, but she's not there," Susan said, and Lady Loretta sighed."That's fine, you go ahead and prepare my tea. I will find out later where Miranda went," Lady Loretta said, dismissing Susan as she awaited Derrick to come downstairs, but still, Derrick didn't respond to the maid's call or come downstairs.Lady Loretta wondered what was going on in her house as she finished drinking her tea, yet she didn't see Derrick. She stood up from the dining chair and went upstairs carefully to Derrick's sitting room to at least find out if her son was alright and not dead or something wrong as her heart beat
"Derrick, did I hear you say I brought Miranda to seduce you? So you have a fondness for Miranda all these while, and that's why you pretended to hate her?" Lady Loretta finally looked back at her son's face to see his reaction, but he looked away from her, replying, "No, mother. I cannot be attracted to a maid. I don't want Miranda here, that was the major reason I sent her away.""Derrick!! You are no longer my son from today henceforth. If you do not provide Miranda back into this house, then keep your distance away from me as I disowned you today! Except you bring Miranda back, only then, I will accept you as my son and don't bring any woman to meet me in this house for me anymore as your wife-to-be. I don't want to see you or them anymore!" Lady Loretta turned to leave the sitting room, and Derrick tried to stop her, "No, Mom. You cannot disown me because of an outsider. You see that's why I said she had bewitched you.""No one bewitched me, Derrick. I was the one who adopted Mi
"Miranda, get the drinks from the fridge," Lady Loretta said. She was the lady of the house, and it was her only son's birthday arrangement."Okay, Ma," Miranda answered. As a young lady in her early twenties, Miranda wore a pink dress. It was nighttime, and they're preparing a birthday party for Derrick Luis, the only son of the Luis family. Out of seven women, Derrick appeared to be the only son of his rich family.Many guests were already present in the Luis family mansion, among these guests were top admirers, business partners, and their families members and relatives, but the birthday celebrant wasn't at home.Far away at a luxurious firm, Derrick Luis was still at his office when his mobile rang out. "Hello, Mother," he picked up the call, and his mother said to him, "Derrick, You know that today is your birthday. So where are you?"Looking at his wristwatch time, Derrick observed it was already 6 pm, he replied, "At the office, mother.""Come home, Son. It's your birthday, and
As Alexa and Nicole excused themselves from the rest of the guests and went upstairs, Miranda was already alert and had heard their conversation. But any conversations having to do with Derrick, Miranda was equally alert.The top floor was off-limits. Derrick hated to be disturbed, and Miranda was well aware of this. But she also wanted to know what Alexa and Nicole were going to do on the top floor.Seeing how elegantly hot Alexa and Nicole looked in their beautiful dresses that swept the floor, Miranda was only jealous and wishing she wasn't a maid. Aside from being a maid, she had managed to gain some college education, but she couldn't resign her contract as a maid yet. Not 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 and also losing her grip as the tray went off from her hands and stained the guest's dress."How dare you, lowly being, stain my white dress? Do you know how much this outfit
As Lady Loretta was dismissing the maids to clear the used plates and empty bottles and to also tidy up the living room after all the guests had left her mansion, she noticed the lady wincing in pain and alighting the staircase with so much difficulty."Melody," Lady Loretta looked shocked upon seeing how Melody looked so disheveled, as if she had been beaten to stupor."What happened to you?" Lady Loretta inquired in shock, while all the maids in the living room also paused to look at Melody and they gasped at the horror they saw the previously arrogant lady now looked."Milady, it was one of the maids. The maid you assigned to show me to the top floor. She dealt with me," Melody managed to speak as her cheeks were visibly swollen."You mean Miranda did this to you? I don't believe it. Miranda is innocent and cannot hurt a fly. Ever since Miranda has been working here with us, she hasn't gotten into a fight with any of the maids that I am aware of. Are you sure you're referring to Mir
