Annabel was a bit nervous to go see the madam, she really hopes the madam doesn’t get suspicious with them and find out that she isn’t married.



“I am a bit nervous,” Annabel whispers to Juliet.

“You don’t have to be nervous, she will ask you a few questions and you have to answer the questions without showing that you are nervous”Juliet whispers back to Annabel “and no matter what happens, she mustn’t find out that you are single” she added.



“I will try my best not to be nervous,”Annabel mutters with a low tone.



“No more talking, we are almost close to the living room, we don’t want her to get to know about our lies”Juliet ushers for her to be quiet, Annabel nods lightly.



They both finally reached their destination but they were both confused because they couldn’t see any trace of the madam.



“I think she has finally caught up to our lies” Annabel bickers pacing around.



“I think she stepped out for a moment,” Juliet declares, trying to convince herself that the madam was going to come back.






Juliet and Annabel were worried especially Annabel.She was scared as questions flooded her mind.



Where is the madam?

Did she find out I’m not married?

What if she doesn’t give me the job?




These were the questions in Annabel's head which she got no response too.She was about to complain to Juliet when a tall slender woman who was clearing looks in her fifties approaching their direction.



The relief on Juliet's face was evident, she couldn’t hide her happiness as soon as she saw the madam.

“You must be..”The woman started but was cut off.



“Anna.. Annabel”Annabel eagerly answers, trying her best not to stammer.



“Oh! Annabel, that’s a lovely name”The woman compliments before sitting on the couch.



“You both can have your seat”She tells them pointing at the couch opposite hers.




“Thank you!” They replied simultaneously.



“ I am guessing Juliet has told you a little bit of what the job is about,”The woman firmly stated with a gentle smile on her face.



“Y..yes.. she did”She stutters. 




Juliet held her hands signaling her that everything will be okay.The madam saw Juliet’s gesture and a gentle smile embraced her lips.



“You don’t have to be scared of anything, you just need to calm down a little bit”The woman assures her with a smile on her face.



“She gets shy,” Juliet giggles a bit as she takes a quick glimpse at Annabel.



“I just want to be sure of one thing, are you indeed married?” She suddenly asks, making Annabel jaw drop a bit.

There was a bit of silence for a few minutes, Annabel’s heart was about to numb out of her chest, she didn't know if she wanted to lie or just tell the truth about her current status.



“She is asking you a question, you need to answer” Juliet tells Annabel with a nervous smile.

Annabel took a deep breath and finally said “I am married”Annabel managed to force out.



“Is your husband keen on the idea of you working here as a housekeeper?” She suspiciously asked.

“yes!” Annabel answered without hesitation.




“Juliet did mention to me how much you needed this job. The job is yours and you can start tomorrow”The woman declares feeling pity for Annabel.



“Thank you so much ma’am”They both thanked her simultaneously with excitement in your tone.



“Please call me Mrs Torres”The woman stated.“There are rules you have to abide by in this house”The woman coldly stated“Seeing as you are married, you won’t have any problems with my sons”The woman sighs with disappointment in her eyes on mentioning her sons.



“You don’t have to worry about that, Annabel will never pass her boundaries” Juliet assures her as she stares at Annabel.



“The head housekeeper will tell you all you need to get started here, you will have your own room. You will be given a uniform to get started.”Mrs Torres explains to her.“And one more thing, don’t ever go to my son's room when they are around, you will only go clean when they are both at their workplace,”Mrs Torres added.



“You have nothing to worry about Mrs Torres' ' Annabel assures her with a smile.



“Then we are done here”Mrs Torres announced before taking her leave.



“I don’t think I want to take this job” Annabel tells Juliet as soon as the madam leaves.



The smile on Juliet's face immediately dropped as soon as Annabel uttered those words.

“What did you just say? You must be joking”Juliet frowned at her choice of words.



“I don’t know Juliet, I am just a little bit scared”Annabel mutters.



“What are you scared about?”Juliet impatiently asked.



“I am scared of everything, what happens when she finds out about my lie,She looks scary”Annabel looks frightened by Mrs Torres.

“Are you kidding me, she is one of the nicest women I know. I think you are just paranoid because we started all this with a lie, but you don’t have to worry about anything. Just do as you are told and you will be fine”Juliet assures her trying to convince her.



“ I mean I do need the job and this is the only way I can start a new life. I wasn’t thinking straight, I definitely need this job”Annabel finally came back to reality.



“Now you are talking, let’s go home now and plan on how your stay here will be”Juliet tells her. They both stood up to leave the house and went back to Juliet’s apartment.




***

Back at Juliet’s house, Annabel was packing her belongings to get ready for her new job tomorrow. Juliet’s house isn’t your average person’s home, it could barely contain one person not to talk of two people living in the small congested house.

“I am also happy you got the job”Juliet tells her with a smile “I hope you remembered the plan. You do your job and mind your business at all cost”She reminded her.




“I got it, I will mind my business”Annabel surrendered with her hands in the air.



“You remember what she said about her sons right!”Juliet warns.



“Hmm”Annabel hummed.



“What do you mean by hmm ,you mustn’t have anything to do with them, they are bad news”Juliet sternly warns her.



“How do you know so much about them?”Annabel's curiosity kicks in.



“Who doesn’t know about the Torres brothers, they are the two most eligible bachelors. They are womanisers and they definitely have no respect for women”Juliet tells her with a disgusted look.



“Are you sure about what you are saying?”Annabel doubtfully asked.



“I am so sure about what I am saying.They are the reason a lot of young ladies lost their jobs”Juliet frowns.“I also heard some girls had to abort the child they had for them because they weren’t fit to give them a heir”She added.



“That’s so messed up” Annabel says with a shocking tone.



“That’s why you need to stay away from them, Mrs Torres is a very nice woman but she can be a beast when it comes to her sons”Juliet sighs.

Annabel” she stammered.“That is such a beautiful name”“Thank you sir” she stuttered “sir, your father calls for you” she says with her gaze still on the ground.“What does he want?” He asks coldly.“I have no idea about that,” she replies.“Thanks for informing me,” he says calmly.“I will take my leave then”“Wait, don’t leave” he says as he gets up from the couch.

    Andrew's mind reels as he watches Esme, confusion clouding his thoughts. Why is she saying this? What game is she playing?"I'm serious, okay?" Esme insists, her tone light yet unwavering. "When my dad told me I’d be meeting someone, I wasn’t exactly thrilled. He’s always setting me up with people I have no interest in. But with you… it’s different.” She tilts her head, watching him closely. “The way you stood up to your parents, refusing the marriage—it was something I’ve never seen a rich boy do before. It was… attractive." She smiles, but Andrew feels no warmth from it—only amusement, like she’s enjoying a game he never agreed to play.His frown deepens. "Don't get the wrong idea," he says sharply. "I said that because I don’t want to marry you—not because I was trying to impress you."Esme’s smile widens, as if his frustration is nothing more than entertainment to her. "I know. But now I want to marry you.”Andrew exhales sharply, barely containing his irritation. "Well, I don’t w

    Andrew’s POVI loved the shocked look on my mom’s face. Now I was sure—this marriage would never happen."Hi, everyone. I’m Esme," she said in a nonchalant tone, barely looking up from her phone as she found a seat."This is my daughter, Esme," Griffen said nervously. I mean, who could blame him? Just look at his daughter."She doesn’t look shy to me," I said with amusement, only to be silenced by my mother’s sharp glare. I rolled my eyes but didn’t push it further."I think we should all eat," my mom said with a forced smile, trying to keep things civil.My gaze stayed on Esme. I wanted to tell her how relieved I was that she was the one here. There was no way my mom would ever accept her as her daughter-in-law.As we started eating, Griffen reached over and took Esme’s phone away. "Eat properly," he told her.Surprisingly, she listened without protest. She actually obeyed him. Well, I guess that wasn’t a bad thing."I know you all might have some questions about my daughter," Griffe

    The house is beautifully decorated, warm lights casting a soft glow over the elegant setup. The scent of fresh flowers lingers in the air, mingling with the faint aroma of baked goods.Annabel moves about the kitchen, wiping down the counters, but her mind is elsewhere. Curiosity tugs at her as she watches the staff rush around with an unusual level of excitement.She finally turns to Mrs. Jones, who’s overseeing the preparations. "Mrs. Jones, what’s happening?" she asks, her tone laced with curiosity.Mrs. Jones pauses, a smile tugging at her lips. "Andrew is about to get engaged."The words hit Annabel like a sudden gust of wind. Her heart skips a beat, her grip tightening slightly on the cloth in her hands."What?" she breathes out, needing confirmation. "Is he really getting engaged today?"Mrs. Jones’ smile fades into a frown. "That’s exactly what I said," she replies with a hint of irritation. "Now, get back to work."Annabel nods absently, turning back to her task, but the news

    Annabel stuttered, struggling to form words, but nothing came out of her mouth."Are you okay?" Mrs. Torres asked, irritation evident in her voice. She crossed her arms, her sharp gaze cutting into Annabel. "I asked you a simple question—why are you dressed that way?" Her tone grew harsher, laced with anger."Ma’am, I’m dressed this way because—""Because I took her to a party," Andrew interrupted, stepping forward smoothly. His voice was calm, confident, but his mother’s expression didn’t soften. "Mom, I brought Annabel with me because I needed an assistant by my side."Mrs. Torres narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him as if she could see right through his excuse. "You could have taken a security guard," she pointed out, her gaze flickering back to Annabel, who shifted uncomfortably. "If something bad had happened, Annabel wouldn't have been much help."Annabel swallowed hard, feeling the weight of Mrs. Torres' stare."You know what? I don't want to stress over this," Mrs. Torres final

    Annabel’s heart pounded wildly, faster than normal. Fear gripped her as she watched Albert's reaction. He had just walked in on her kissing Andrew. But while she was panicking, Andrew remained unnervingly calm, as if the situation didn’t faze him at all.“Is no one going to say something?” Albert’s voice was sharp, his anger cutting through the thick tension in the air.Andrew shrugged. “What’s there to say? You caught us kissing. It is what it is.”Annabel’s eyes widened in horror. What is he doing?Albert scoffed, his jaw tightening. “Oh, so you mean to tell me this has been going on for a while? You two have been having an affair this whole time?”“No, no! You’ve got it all wrong!” Annabel’s voice trembled as she took a step toward Albert, her hands shaking. “This just happened, I swear! It’s never happened before!”But the words felt empty, even to her. She wanted to run—to disappear. The walls felt like they were closing in, suffocating her. The weight of Albert’s gaze, his anger

    Annabel couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable as everyone’s eyes landed on her. She shifted in her dress, suddenly self-conscious, adjusting the fabric as if it could somehow shield her from their gazes. Tracy was the first to approach, her signature chameleon smile plastered across her face.“It’s so good to see you here,” Tracy said, pulling Annabel into an unexpected hug.Annabel rolled her eyes internally, not quite understanding why Tracy was suddenly being so friendly. But she didn’t complain—she just forced a polite smile and let it happen.“Come here,” Tracy added, taking Annabel’s hand and leading her straight into the center of attention.“I’m glad you made it,” Albert said warmly.Andrew, however, said nothing. He barely glanced at Annabel before quickly looking away, as if afraid she’d catch him staring.Everyone took their seats at the long table, and Annabel’s eyes widened at the sight of the extravagant feast before her. The variety of food was overwhelming, and

    Albert’s POVAndrew is still not ready. My patience thins with every passing second as I check my watch again, exhaling sharply. The morning air is crisp, but irritation burns hotter under my skin. Finally, the door creaks open, and Andrew steps out, adjusting his cufflinks like he has all the time in the world. A wave of relief washes over me, quickly replaced by annoyance.“I told you to be early,” I say, my tone clipped, frustration lacing every word.He grins, unapologetic. “All I can say is that I’m sorry. No excuse.” He strides past me and slides into the car, leaving me to roll my eyes before getting in myself.Settling into my seat, I immediately pull out the documents, flipping through them with practiced efficiency. The low hum of the engine fills the space between us as I make last-minute adjustments, my focus narrowing in on the numbers and projections. The weight of the upcoming meeting presses down on me—this project is mine, and I won’t let anything jeopardize it.By th

    Andrew’s POV My mind raced as I stared at Annabel, my throat tightening. What the hell do I even say to her? I hadn’t meant for this to happen—not like this. I should’ve been more careful. I should’ve thought this through. But now? I was caught. And by the look in her eyes, she wasn’t about to let me off easy.“Annabel, listen to me,” I said, keeping my tone calm, but my voice felt tight in my throat. She folded her arms across her chest, her gaze sharp and expectant, waiting for me to speak. But the truth was, I had nothing. Absolutely nothing. “I don’t know what to say,” I admitted, breaking eye contact as guilt settled in my stomach.Her breath hitched, and when she spoke again, her voice was thick with disbelief. “You have to be kidding me right now. You did this, and now you have nothing to say?” Her fingers clenched into fists at her sides. “You knew I wasn’t married this whole time?”“Not the whole time,” I muttered, shifting uncomfortably. “But I figured it out not too long a

    Annabel’s POVI still can’t understand how he can afford this restaurant. Everything about this place screams luxury—the elegant chandeliers, the soft classical music, and the neatly dressed waiters gliding across the room. The prices on the menu must be outrageous, and yet, he sits there so casually, flipping through the pages like it’s nothing.I stare at him, trying to figure him out, but before I can stop myself, our eyes meet. Embarrassed, I quickly look away, pretending to be focused on something else. Just then, a waiter arrives and places a glass of water in front of us. I hesitate to take a sip. What if he actually can’t afford anything here? What if we end up getting kicked out? The last thing I want is public humiliation.“What would you like to eat?” he asks, pulling me out of my thoughts. His voice startles me, and I flinch slightly.“I—uh…” I hesitate, unsure of what to say.“Is there anything you’d like?” he asks again, waiting patiently.“Not really. I don’t want to ea
