CASA ROMA Chapter 27: A step back for a step forward
Serene was awakened by the loud ring of her phone. She pulled the eye mask to the top of her head, and grabbed the phone that is just next to her. She didn't check the caller rather speak to it in a grown. “Who is this?” she asked to the other line. A voice came, feminine.“Vanna. This is Vanna, Serene.” Her lids alerted, pulling her body up. She cannot remember the moment she lend her number to her half-sister. How did she know her phone number?Vanna cleared her throat. “You need to come here. In the house. Dad wants to see you.” Her tone was alarming, for she cannot find any cheerness in it. Vanna never speak to her with this kind of tone. She knew something was up. She wanted to aks why but hold herself. Traveling back and meeting her Dad and his family is something she cannot say a good thing. Despite her inward refusal, Serene still gave her an okay.The call had totally sank her mood. She just descend the stairs and brewed her coffee. Everyone in the house including Maricar

“You are ready to meet my parents then?” Darrem asked Serene as soon she arrives at the house. Serene chuckled. He looks so adorable when he was excited. “Let me take a rest first.” Darrem gave her a loght kiss and assist her to their room. “They will love you no matter what. They are really nice.” Darrem was confident that there wouldn't be a problem with his parents. “I can't wait to meet them. You talk a lot about them and it makes me wonder about how they'll treat me.” Serene sat on the bed, taking off her sandals. Darrem joined her, kissing her cheeks. “They'll be nice. You don't have to be worried.” He looks so sincere for Serene to take that as a lie. Darrem settled everything. He would left the work for Brixel.

He informed them already about the purpose of their visit, and his parents got so excited about the news.“Oh, is she Ser
Last Updated : 2024-10-29CASA ROMA Chapter 1: One rainy day, and a Golden ticket
The weather is a bit off today, with an announcement of an upcoming storm in the proximity of New York City. The street was filled of passerby holding different color umbrellas with their shoes squeaking as they passed by. The thick glass wall of the café was now covered with raindrops coming from twitched umbrellas and splashes of water on the sidewalk. Even it was raining hard, the street was still busy with wheels rolling on the wet street, and feet marching on the sidewalk. The Ladies’ Coffee was a small café on the east of New York City. It was quite unpopular because of its location. It was hidden behind the tall law firm building, and was a bit far from the center of downtown. Not many actually knows that an eighteen-years-old café was existing behind the Madison Firm. There are not more than five costumers sitting on the tables, sipping cheap but surely tasty coffee. On the left corner of the café sits a slender lady wearing thick sweater and loose pants. The large spectac

The party will happen tonight. It's been a week since the two has met and sealed their little business proposal. Serene had already informed her boss in the bakery that she has other plan for the day, and will just work on her day off this Sunday to cover her absent. She took off her apron and pulled the gloves out of her hands. The flour was all over her pants and shirt even she had securely covered her body with the apron. Serene was not an expert in making bread. She has no other option but to act like a professional baker at the baking space. She was a fast-learner so she never find it difficult to make a perfectly baked bread just after weeks of working there. “You are leaving early?” Tanya, one of Serene's opposite number asked after she noticed that Serene was packing her stuff now on the locker.Serene zipped her bag and hanged it on her shoulder. “I have some important matters to do. I'll takeover my day off instead. You know I needed some extra income.” Tanya cannot help b

The preparation went well. The make up artist named Catty had given Serene a light but ravishing make up. Her hair was tied back in an elegant bun. The silver earrings and necklace complemented her black gown. Sydney recommended a black heels to match her attire. Serene couldn't believe the product of the make over and dress up. She looks like an american Jennie Kim on her new style. Her puffy cheeks and small face complemented her fashion style. She clasped the YSL pouch on her arms as the stylist put the last accessory, the mask. It was a yellow golden half mask, that she personally chose on the collection. It made her a completely different person. Sydney gasped looking at the finish product. “Very gorgeous,” she said gently clapping her hands. Serene was also astonished to see herself. She cannot afford any of the things she is wearing, and she felt like walking in debt. “Ma'am, the helicopter was already here. I have informed the limousine driver to ready,” Cin, the family bu

Serene got conscious because of how the man reacted to her. She thought that she irritated him, but she had no other choice but to continue her agenda despite of. “Do you know when will the door open?” she asked while pointing to the closed door. Darrem slightly laughed at the question of the woman. She was cute, he thought. “The door will open tomorrow.” Serene's lips parted. The man just told her it will open tomorrow. She wouldn't waste a night on that hotel. “Why? But I have to go now.” Darrem slid his hand on his pocket, and faced the attractive lady in front of him. He doesn't know why the girl was acting like she doesn't know about how Casa Roma works. “You can't go. There's no way you can go at this moment. You can only leave this place tomorrow at 6 AM, but you have to use your ticket card first on one of the hotel room.” Darrem doesn't like explaining things to others but he wants to continue his conversation with the woman. Serene touched her forehead, stressed. She ca

“You have a choice to say no. It's not like I'm forcing you.” Serene was so conscious about how her statement sounded to Darrem. She doesn't want to sound horny or what. “It's not like I don't want to. I'm just surprised,” Darrem answered with all honesty. “Look I have no choice. You are my last option. Most of the men here are ready to devour any women they came across to and I can't act compulsively. I have to leave this place and if I can't leave tonight then I'm okay for tomorrow but I have to assure the freaking door will open for me, first.” Darrem can feel the frustration of the woman and he find her cuter when she's angry. Darrem pressed his lips. “So you are saying that I'm different among them?” Serene nod her head. That's what she think of him. “You aren't looking perverted to me.” She aren't sure of it, but she was following her instinct. The man was disinterested of her, and he already told her that he has no plan of sleeping with anyone here. He might be flirty, but

One month had already passed, and Serene never talked about that night to anyone, not even Sydney. Sydney who was so curious about Serene's experience in the hotel, couldn't get a proper answer from Serene. When she asked her about, why Serene spend the night in the hotel, even the answer was obvious, Serene will just say, “I don't want to talk about it. It's so boring.”Sydney's original plan was to make her friend enjoy a sizzling night with a stranger, that's why she intentionally crop some instruction. A mission failed for her because Serene looks uninterested about telling her things about that night. She believed that, Serene probably got bored with the party because obviously she isn't a party goer. So instead of asking more about it, she just let her friend live in a peaceful life.Serene's experience in Casa Roma was absolutely memorable, but she will just laugh at it when it crosses her mind. The world was too large for the two of them to meet again, but if it happens, then

CASA ROMA Chapter 26: Double Date
When Serene heard that the two had already made up, she persuaded Darrem to have a double date together with the reunited couple. “Please shove these paper away from your desk for just a day and let's have a get together.” Serene looked at him with begging eyes. “You just wanted to be with Bailey. Girls' date, not a double date,” he corrected her, but still grinning at the idea.“You can't say no at my request,” she hissed.“I'm afraid you are right. You had that effect on me Ms. Almirez.” Darrem left his chair to hugged her. When it's just the two of them, they usually cuddle. Serene allowed hugs and kisses but never intimate touch or anything beyond. Serene leaning on the desk, throw her arms on his neck and smiled to him. “I'm privileged, Mr. Roma.” Darrem bent down to kiss her but it was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door. They both pulled away and stared at Brixel. “I'm sorry to disturb you guys. Believe me I don't want to interrupt your private time together, but
CASA ROMA Chapter 25: Heart to Heart Talk
“It would be better if the maids are still unaware of our relationship,” Serene said and gracefully placed the tea on Darrem's desk.“Whatever you think is convenient,” Darrem replied. It's been days after the trip, and they haven't spoke with anyone in the house about the thing that is going on between them. The two maid seems clueless. Nothing really change between them. Serene was not fond of kinship and she don't show her affection so much so as Darrem. “Do you have plans this weekend? Let's go on a date again.” Serene smiled. She likes the idea. “Depends on what kind of date it was.” She pressed her lips, enjoying the dreamy sensation whenever she is with Darrem. He closed his laptop and lifted his eyes to Serene. ”Swimming is not a bad idea.”Serene nodded. She's been here for months yet she haven't tasted the salt of the sea of the island. “But I'm not gonna wear any revealing swim wear.”“Too bad, you can't swim with your maid uniform. Just wear something that is comfortabl
CASA ROMA Chapter 24: Maid to Something Else
Before their flight, Serene didn't forget to phone Bailey. She leaned on the balcony wall, and raised her phone right on her ears after her bubbly friend pick up the call. Bailey was still on her bed, scratching her nose. It was just five in the morning, and she is still dozzy because of hangover. She had more than enough tequila yesterday and loss her consciousness in the Var. She didn't even know how she gets in— except that she wasn't in her dorm. “Oh shit!” The loud cried had almost shaken Serene's eardrum. That was so loud and abrupt. "Are you okay? Did I call very early that you thought you're just dreaming?” She looked over the tall buildings and dazzling lights beyond but her mind was flying over what could possibly happened to her friend. Bailey continuously wagged her head. She put her palm in her heads, phone on her lap. “I'm in a different room. It's big, and white. Where am I? Oh Serene, please help me... I could kill myself right now. How did I get here?”Serene can'
CASA ROMA Chapter 23: A Date to Remember
Serene woke up early as the sun rise. It is not because she is excited, she just can't sleep properly the whole night. It keeps on whispering on her ear: the idea that Darrem actually likes her. She cooked their breakfast, and kill her time reading the recipe book. Darrem who is as anticipated as Serene, just gargled his mouth wash and left his room. He smiled as soon as he sees Serene. “You're early,” he greeted and took an empty seat.Serene was still nervous. Meeting his eyes, is a total torture to her heart. She wasn't high schooler to feel this kind of affection. She should manage this like an adult, but it was her first to receive a confession as straight as that. “You want coffee?” she instead ask. She has to fix herself. She was hired to serve him, and not become comfortable around and got no use. Darrem nodded, but with a sudden hesitation. “You know you don't have to work for me that way. I don't want people to think I'm enslaving you or something.” He truly cared for Se
CASA ROMA Chapter 22: Instant Wife
As soon the two arrived at the hotel, Serene confronted Darrem. She wants to ask him about what he said earlier to her sister while they are in the car but she chose to ask him privately.“What did you just say to Vanna?” She wanted to hear his explanation, if he was joking around or he was serious, whatever it is this will lead to disaster. Darrem loosened his tie for a bit and surrendered his hands in the air. “Relax, Serene. Don't yell at me. Remember I'm the one paying you.” Serene frustratedly sighed. She sat on the sofa with her head down. She cannot imagine the scenarios tomorrow. She'll be meeting her dad and stepmother. Vanna seems convinced about Darrem's lie and this mess up everything.Darrem has no regrets about everything. He is not going to take his words back. Let Vanna think what he wants to think. “You are going to show up as my fiancé tomorrow, and from now on, you are not going to be my maid nor a hotel keeper, or a secretary. I'll be paying you to be my fiancé,
CASA ROMA Chapter 21: Unexpected Encounter
The meeting was scheduled at 9:00 AM in the Vista Building. It was located not so far from the hotel they are staying. Serene woke up early to make breakfast, yes she do home cook for the day. It was not that she don't prefer the food in the hotel but her stomach wants a more specific food with her own recipe. She's not into foods made in other's kitchen, unless it is cooked by Maricar. “You are awake. I did a quick grocery earlier to make breakfast, Sir. I think it would be better if I cook, so I hope you'll like it.” Darrem just woke up, of course to brush his teeth and comb his healthy hair. That is his morning routine. He dried his hand using a clean towel and nodded. “Thanks. You are using the pocket money I gave to you in your bank account right?” Serene nodded. Darrem gives $100 dollars pocket cash for all his workers. It is for errands like this. He doesn't want to be asked for money when they are in travel or work. He doesn't also want his workers to pay for the expenses d
CASA ROMA Chapter 20: The Trip
It was a blessing that the whether was good that night. The two was dropped by the chopper at 8:00 PM, and drove to the hotel after. Darrem usually travel with Brixel but he cannot travel with him today, because his parents had been hunting him. His parents was really serious about the arrange marriage between Brixel and Serene's sister. Darrem glanced at Serene who sit beside him.“Don't you talk with any of your family? Vanna never reached you out?” It seems like Serene has no idea about most of the Almirez’ whereabouts. Serene looked his way. She didn't expect that Darrem would open up this conversation. She was truly uncomfortable talking about that family she disowned and who disowned her as well. “I cut ties with them years ago. They doesn't know my contact that's why,” she answered. She wasn't curious about her father's family anyway. It was true that Vanna was good to her and is a good sister, but the day she left, she promised herself that she would never to involve herse
