The evening sky was overcast when Elise arrived at the small house she hadn’t visited in a long time. As soon as she knocked on the door, hurried footsteps sounded from inside. The door swung open quickly, revealing Lily, her ten-year-old younger sister, with sparkling eyes."Elise!"Lily immediately threw herself into Elise’s arms, sobbing against her sister’s shoulder. Elise hugged her back, gently stroking her hair, trying to hold back the tears welling in her eyes."Lily, I’m here. Don’t cry, okay?"But Elise’s voice trembled with emotion. She released the hug and took Lily’s hand, leading her inside."Come on, let’s talk inside."In the simple living room, Elise opened her bag and took out some gifts. Lily’s eyes lit up again when she saw the chocolates and a new storybook."You always know wha

The sharp clack of Barbra’s high heels echoed through the narrow hallway, which was filled with the scent of floor cleaner. Elise, just stepping out of the bathroom in a towel robe, nearly dropped the small towel she was holding when she saw the elegant yet intimidating figure standing before her.“Mrs. Barbra?” Elise’s voice trembled as she spoke, her gaze immediately dropping in an attempt to avoid Barbra’s piercing stare.Barbra glanced around with a look of disdain, like a queen who had wandered into a slum. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, she swore she would never set foot in this place.“You’re quite something, Elise. Your innocent act is very convincing.”Elise lifted her head slightly, still overwhelmed by fear and confusion. “I-I’m sorry, Madam… What do you mean? I don’t understand.”

Elise crouched by the poolside, using a cleaning net to scoop out dry leaves. Occasionally, she let out a quiet sigh. The gentle rippling of the water beneath her feet was soothing, but her mind was unsettled."Greta… she always acts like she’s better than everyone else," Elise muttered under her breath, her voice just audible over the rustling breeze. "And Mrs. Barbra? Instead of giving proper orders, she sent me to clean the pool. Does she not realize this is a daytime task, not something to be done first thing in the morning?"Her lips pursed in protest as she stirred the water with the net, creating tiny bubbles on the surface. "What am I, a robot? A servant is a servant, but that doesn’t mean I deserve to be treated like trash. If they think I’m trying to get attention, they couldn’t be more wrong!"As Elise continued grumbling to herself, she was unaware that from behind the glass wal

The banquet hall was filled with opulence, reflecting the wealth of the social elites. The crystal chandelier sparkled, casting a soft glow across the expansive room. Yet, the chosen venue wasn’t entirely open to the public eye.Guests, impeccably dressed in evening gowns and expensive suits, engaged in conversations while sipping champagne from crystal glasses. The light hum of laughter blended seamlessly with the delicate notes of the orchestra playing in the corner.But the moment seemed to pause as Reiner Barack entered the room.His tailored black suit framed his tall, well-built figure perfectly. His hair was slicked back neatly, save for one stray strand falling onto his forehead, giving him an effortlessly captivating look. His face bore a cold expression, yet his charisma was undeniable. Each step he took exuded a confidence so commanding that all heads turned toward him.The women whispered amongst themselves, some hiding shy smiles behind their fans. One of them, a young so

Part 2The Barack family's mansion stood grandly on a sprawling two-hectare estate, surrounded by gardens designed by a renowned architect. A towering gate engraved with the family crest was guarded by two security officers, while hidden cameras monitored every corner. Inside, marble hallways echoed with the steps of servants diligently ensuring every inch of the house remained impeccable. The Barack family was not just wealthy—they were a symbol of power and prestige in the city.In the expansive dining room, morning light streamed through velvet drapes, illuminating a long dining table set with exquisite porcelain dinnerware. At one end of the table, Mrs. Barbra Barack poured tea while speaking sharply, her voice dripping with discontent.“I simply cannot believe you, Reiner!” Barbra’s voice rang out, her sharp eyes narrowing at her son. “You left the party without a word, abandoning Eva. Her parents must think our family has no manners!”Reiner, seated across from her in a casual y

Part 3At ten in the morning, the kitchen in the Barack family's grand house was quiet and still. The only sound was the faint creak of the ceiling as the wind outside brushed against it. Reiner sat at the long wooden table, holding a glass of water, but his eyes seemed far more interested in the tranquility surrounding him.He had just left the dining room after a tense conversation with his mother. The irritation lingered on his lips, but he didn't care. It would pass, just like everything else that had ever happened in his life. However, something managed to catch his attention.When Elise stepped in quietly, there was something different about her presence—something simple yet strong. There were no words of hospitality exchanged, just a brief and cautious greeting. Reiner felt her presence before he even heard her footsteps.Elise moved slowly, angling her body slightly as if to avoid disturbing him. Reiner knew she would never speak first, and Elise, as usual, didn't force hersel

Part 4That afternoon, the kitchen of the Barack family home was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed herbal tea. Elise was busy carrying a tray with a cup of tea for Mr. Abraham. Her appearance was simple yet captivating. Standing at 160 cm, her petite frame appeared graceful. Her shoulder-length black hair was always neatly styled, even though her face was rarely adorned with makeup. Her gaze was gentle, suggesting a patient personality, though her heart often harbored feelings of unease.Despite being just a servant, Elise exuded a unique aura. She appeared calm, yet there were traces of strength from her difficult past—a childhood in a house full of arguments that taught her to restrain herself and face every situation with composure.One of the senior servants, Greta, whispered to her colleague as she watched Elise pass by them."Look at her. She’s only been here a few days and already so confident serving Mr. Abraham. Usually, other servants run away within a week," she said,

Reiner drove his car down the dimly lit road, following the direction indicated by Elise. When the car stopped in front of a modest yet somewhat shabby house, Reiner glanced briefly at the building from inside the car. Nothing too striking, just a house with a wooden fence that had started to decay. It was a stark contrast to the grand house he lived in.Elise opened the car door, about to get out. Reiner lowered his gaze for a moment, trying to hide the curiosity that was growing inside him. With some hesitation, he followed Elise out of the car and walked behind her toward the front door. In Reiner’s mind, this house was a world apart from his luxurious, privileged life.As soon as they entered, the damp smell and stuffy air hit them. The house looked chaotic, with items scattered across the floor. The room that was supposed to be the living room appeared empty, filled only with old wooden chairs and a table that had clearly not been taken care of. Dirty dishes were piled up in a co

That afternoon, drizzles of rain streaked the large glass windows in Mr. Gale’s living room. Barbra busied herself adjusting the table decorations, ensuring the flowers in the vase were perfectly arranged. Greta stood near the door, holding a tray of freshly prepared tea.Barbra glanced at the wall clock, her face tense.“Eva should be here by now. Greta, make sure she doesn’t get wet when stepping out of the car,” Barbra instructed.“Yes, Madam,” Greta replied.Barbra walked toward Gale, who was seated in a leather armchair, reading the newspaper. He slowly closed it and looked up with a weary expression as Barbra started speaking.“My husband, you need to talk to Reiner later. I want him to be serious about Eva.”Gale sighed. “Barbra, Reiner is not a child anymore. You know he hates being forced.”“That’s because he’s stubborn—just like his father. But I know what’s best for this family. Eva is the right choice, and I won’t allow any intruders to interfere—”Barbra stopped mid-sente

Chapter 35 – The Unseen BattleThat afternoon, a sudden call from Madame Barbra took Elise by surprise. She was arranging a flower vase in the living room when one of the maids relayed the message."Madame Barbra wants you in her room now," Sofia said curtly.Elise nodded obediently, but her heart started to race. She walked down the long hallway on the other side of the main house, where Madame Barbra’s room was located. As she passed by Greta, who was wiping a shelf in the corner, she felt the woman’s sharp gaze burning into her back."Good luck, Elise," Greta’s voice dripped with sarcasm. Elise kept her head down, unwilling to engage.When she reached the door to Madame Barbra’s room, she paused for a moment, taking a deep breath to calm herself. There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ve done nothing wrong, she reassured herself.A soft knock on the wooden door was met with a firm voice from inside."Come in."El

Elise woke up with a strange feeling. Her half-conscious hand touched something warm, muscular, and lightly covered with hair. She swallowed hard, her mind instantly racing to terrifying scenarios she didn’t dare to consider."Is this... a pillow?" she mumbled softly, trying to find a reasonable explanation.But as her eyes slowly opened, she almost jumped. It wasn’t a pillow she had touched—it was Reiner’s arm, looking as solid and impressive as those she often saw in television dramas. The man was still fast asleep, his face calm, with slightly tousled hair that somehow made him look even more... attractive.Panic crept up Elise’s spine. She quickly withdrew her hand from Reiner’s arm as if she had been electrocuted. Had this just happened? Or was it last night? Her mind spun with unanswered questions.She glanced at Reiner again, ensuring he was still asleep. Moving carefully, Elise slid off the bed. Her hands hurriedly straightened h

Elise walked slowly toward the large sofa in the middle of the room. She felt confused and nervous as she realized how silent the hotel room had become. But her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the sound of water running in the bathroom. Reiner was still in there, probably washing his face after stepping out onto the balcony ten minutes ago.Feeling safe, Elise sat at the edge of the sofa, the satin robe wrapped around her moving slightly with her anxious breaths. She kept thinking, "Why did he have to choose this outfit? Why not just buy regular pajamas instead?" Occasionally, she glanced at the bathroom door, hoping Reiner wouldn’t come out suddenly.But without her realizing it, the bathroom door slowly creaked open. Elise, who had been only stealing glances, now turned her head fully and instantly froze. In front of her, Reiner stood with slightly damp hair and his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows."Why are you sitting there like a frighte

"I'm sorry, Sir. I ruined your event."Reiner merely glanced at Elise, his eyes briefly sweeping over the red stains on her clothes. She looked messy, yet she remained composed as if the incident hadn't affected her much.The car stopped in a well-lit area. Several stores lined the street, and the atmosphere was much quieter, far from the event's previous commotion."Wait here."Without waiting for Elise’s response, Reiner swiftly opened the door and stepped out, striding into one of the nearby stores. Elise sat still, lost in her thoughts. Guilt filled her heart."So careless..."She muttered under her breath, smacking her thighs alternately, cursing herself. Anxiety took over, making her feel even worse about the disaster she had caused.The car door suddenly swung open again, startling her. Reiner returned, holding a paper bag whose contents were still unknown. He tossed it onto the seat beside her without a wor

Reiner pulled Elise away from Padma, his steps quick and firm until they reached a quieter corner of the room. Once he was sure they were far enough from the crowd, he released his grip. His gaze was sharp, almost intimidating.Reiner: “Don’t talk to anyone without my permission. And remember… never, ever say that you’re my servant. Understand?”Elise bit her lip, holding back the urge to respond with more than just a nod. But Reiner’s piercing stare was enough to keep her from arguing.The atmosphere in the art gallery was still buzzing with the chatter of the elite guests. Elise resumed following Reiner’s steps, though her gaze was distracted by Padma’s sharp eyes, still watching her with a sneer.In her heart, Elise thought, I remember her. She’s the woman from the photo in Mr. Reiner’s room.Trying to distract herself, Elise started observing the paintings hanging on the walls. Most were abstract, their confusing colors making her feel out of place. But as she shifted slightly to
