One fateful night Kristen Roses life takes a stunning turn when she accidentally enters billionaire Max Ethan Anderson grand mansion while chasing her cat. Mistaken for the new maid, she's drawn into a world of wealth and power, ruled by a man who craves control but conceals secrets behind his enigmatic gaze. But in this mansion, roles and hearts shift fast. One moment, she’s cleaning floors, and the next, she’s caught in a whirlwind romance with Max Ethan Anderson. But when a twist of fate sends her to the altar in place of another woman, she finds herself in a marriage built on lies and resentment. Max Ethan Anderson had no intention of marrying her, and the moment they exchanged vows, he hated her for it, giving 20 days to divorce her. Trapped in a union neither wanted, their relationship becomes a dangerous game of deception and control. But beneath the bitterness, passion simmers, and as enemies threaten to destroy his empire, Max must decide whether to let go of his hatred or lose everything including her. Yet, their marriage doesn’t last. Kristen vanishes with a secret.... When she returns, it’s not as the woman he once resented, but as someone more powerful and determined to reclaim what was taken from her.

Max blinked, stunned. “Wait… really?” He let out a short, breathless laugh. “I thought you were going to say no after everything I put you through.” He said stood up and wrapped around her, pulled her close. Kristen shook her head. “I would have… if you’d asked me a week ago.” She searched his face. “I’m the luckiest man on earth today.” Max said..“Thank you… Thank you.” He gazed at her, memorising every detail before slowly leaning in. Their lips met, soft at first, then it deepened as the world around them faded away. The waves crashed gently in the background, the cool ocean breeze mixed with the warmth of their bodies. Max’s hands traced the curve of her back and pulled her closer, as if afraid to ever let go. “Kristen…” he murmured, pressing kisses along her jaw. She shivered as her fingers threaded through his hair. Every touch, every breath was electric. Without a word, Max scooped her up effortlessly and carried her toward a hidden spot on the bea
Max barely had time to think when the hotel door opened. The moment he saw Kristen, he rushed in and pulled her into a tight hug."Thank you... Thank you," he murmured, his voice full of emotion before finally pulling away.He reached out into his pocket and brought out a single flower. "A flower for the most special person," he said with a small smile.Kristen took it slowly, excitement flickering in her eyes, though she felt a little awkward. "I... I made something for you," she said and stepped aside to reveal a small table set with food.Max walked over, his gaze falling on two cakes. One read, Congrats on your new deal! The other, in bold letters, read, Who gives a f** about that deal anyway?*Kristen's eyes widened as she quickly tried to hide the second cake, but Max burst into laughter."I love this," he said and took a seat."Where should we dig in first?" he asked, picking up a fork. Then, with a mischievous grin, he added, "Super hungry here!" before laughing again.….…….Mr
The meeting room buzzed with conversation as the board members settled in.Mr. Creed sat at the table with a smirk playing on his lips.“Do we even need to hear anyone else’s deal now?” Mr Ahmed said from the head of the table and shuffled slightly in his seat. He gave Mr. Creed a knowing look.Mr. Charles, one of the board members, laughed at the joke. “Hahaha… Well, it’s only fair that our investors make their final decision based on today’s presentations,” he added with a smirk.Creed leaned back in his chair, still confident he was taking it home. “Of course,” he said smoothly.As the discussion continued, the doors swung open, and the investors began entering the room one by one.The atmosphere shifted as each of them took their seats. Creed sat back confidently, exchanging a subtle glance with Ahmed, who gave him a reassuring nod. Everything was going according to plan.With everyone settled, the presentations began.One by one, each investor took turns discussing their final sta
"Hello..Mr Anderson..yes Sir….your dad asked me to book you the next available flight back to Cali"Max leaned back in his chair as his jaw tightened. "He did, huh?" he muttered and tapped his fingers on the table."Yes, sir," Mr. Green confirmed. "Your father said there's no need to attend tomorrow's meeting. He believes the deal is already lost."Max let out a slow breath as his gaze darkened. "Tell him I’m not leaving. I’ll handle this my way.""But sir""That’s final," Max cut in firmly and ended the call. His eyes flickered toward the window……...UAEAre you sure about this, ma’am?” a gentleman in a black suit asked as he stared at the woman before him.She wore a striking red dress, her bobbed hair framing her face perfectly. Her red lipstick added to her allure which made her look almost like a goddess. A white pearl chain rested elegantly around her neck.“I flew all the way here not to be sure about it,” she said, leaning back in her chair.“Tomorrow, I get to show what my po
After the kiss, they both felt overwhelmed. Kristen looked away as she felt awkward. "I...I think we need to get going before they come after us" she said turned away to face forward and took a small step."Yeah," Max agreed.As they walked, neither of them could stop stealing glances at each other.The awkwardness between Max and Kristen lingered throughout the night as they made it back to the hotel.Kristen walked ahead as she tried to avoid his gaze, while Max trailed behind, shoving his hands into his pockets.As they stepped into the elevator, the silence was deafening. Max glanced at her with a smile but Kristen tightly fixed on the glowing numbers above as she knew he was looking at him……When the doors opened to their floor, Kristen muttered a quick, “Goodnight,” before she quickly rushed to the hotel room and slammed the door closed.Max chuckled as he exhaled sharply and rubbed the back of his neck as he stepped into the hotel room when he entered she was already curled unde
Kristen’s eyes darted to his hand, frustration bubbling inside her as the blood refused to stop.“Are you just going to stand there? You’re bleeding to death!” she snapped as she looked around in a panic for something to stop the bleeding.Max just watched her as he wore a smile without even doing anythingKristen groaned and quickly grabbed a paper towel and wrapped it around his hand. “Why do you even have to cook when you can just order for room service?”Kristen rolled her eyes. “Stop being dramatic!” she scolded, tightening the paper towel around his hand.Max let out an exaggerated groan. “But it does hurt! You have no idea how much pain I’m in right now,” he whined.And Kristen blew on and shot him a sharp look. “Then maybe next time, don’t go playing chef when you clearly have no idea what you’re doing.”Max smirked despite the pain. “But look at this you're finally talking to me.”Kristen huffed, letting go of his hand. “You’re impossible,” she muttered and turned away.Max gr
Kristen quickly wiped her tears and stared at him as she let out a bitter laugh and shook her head."You don’t know? I thought you knew everything. You’re Mr. Perfect, the one who never makes a mistake." She scoffed. "So tell me, why did you bring me here in the first place? To torture me more? To use me as your slave?"Her eyes burned with tears as she took a shaky breath. "Yes, I know I work for you, but that doesn’t mean you own my life! You don’t get to do whatever you want with me! You don't get to talk to me anyhow"Max looked at her but didn’t stop there as her hands trembled at her side…She clenched her fists. "I get it...We come from two different worlds. You have everything handed to you on a silver platter, while people like me have to work ourselves to the bone just to survive.""I stayed even when I had to go through so much because, of course, I wouldn’t find another job that paid more than yours. Life is unfair to some people more than others. You wouldn’t understand wh
UAECreed lounged in the pool, his head resting back as a woman massaged his shoulders. The warm water rippled around him, and he sighed, satisfied with his eyes closed..Then, his phone rang. Without moving much, he gestured for the woman to stop. She obeyed instantly and stepped back and excused herself quietly. Creed watched her walk away before picking up the call.A smirk played on his lips. “I told you he was going to fall for it,” he said smoothly, followed by a low chuckle.Mr. Oman’s voice came through the line. “As expected, he is slower than I thought.”Creed’s smirk widened as he leaned back against the pool’s edge. “And now, the investors are questioning his leadership. Just as planned.”“I got a call earlier from Mr. Ahmed,” Mr. Oman continued. “He said almost half of the investors are questioning the board...why was he even picked in the first place?”Creed let out a low chuckle. “Perfect. Let them doubt him. A leader who can’t control his emotions is a leader who won’t
Mr. Jonathan Reeves another of the competitor stood up and adjusted his tie and cleared his throat.“Ladies and gentlemen, our project focuses on AI driven logistics, reducing operational costs by 30% while improving efficiency.

The investors nodded in interest while some took a notes.After a short Q&A, Mr. Reeves stepped down, and the moderator spoke. “Next, we have Mr. Creed.”Creed stood up with a smirk and walked to the front. He didn’t even look at the screen as he spoke.“Unlike some companies making empty promises, we deliver real results.” He paused, letting his words sink in before tapping his tablet. The main display lit up with statistics and recent projects. “Our technology is already in use by global corporations. We don’t ‘hope’ to be successful.....we already are.”The room stayed silent as invest
"We’ve been waiting too long. What does he think he is?" Mr. Donovan Creed said as he slammed the table with a force that echoed through the room. Every person seated at the long, polished table flinched at the sound, and their attention turned to him. "Mr. Creed, you need to calm down. I am sure he is on his way," the secretary said, standing there calmly. "Calm down? When we talk about power and time, I know you have no business with either. People like you can afford to waste all day in one place, but not someone like us. I don’t have the luxury of patience, nor do I tolerate incompetence. We’re not here to twiddle our thumbs while he takes his sweet time," Mr. Donovan Creed snapped. Around the table, the other executives exchanged uneasy glances. Some shifted uncomfortably in their seats, while others stared down at the documents in front of them, trying to avoid Mr. Creed’s piercing gaze. One of the senior members of the board, a man with graying hair and a nervous demeanor,...
