2024-10-29 19:42:56(I was about to step out when Thelma stopped me)
"Being a maid must suck, but you should know your place" Thelma said, she continued when she didn't get any reaction from me. "People like you should know where you belong, and if you want to continue to work here, you'd better watch your back." She said and turned towards the bags on the bed and waved her hand dismissing me.
I walked out quietly, trying hard to restrain myself from punching her in the face. Not like I could do that even if I had the chance.
I walked to the kitchen and saw Janet reading, she was so into the book, that she didn't notice when I sneaked behind her and whispered into her ears. She jumped out of her seat with shock written all over her face, her book flying out of her hands.
"What was that for?" She asked looking very annoyed.
"Nothing, I just wanted to scare you. And it worked." I replied laughing at her reaction."So how d

Cindy's POVMum was getting a lot better as the days went by and that was great. Brian has also been all over me since the day he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was so sweet of him honestly but it was also very overwhelming since it was my first relationship. Mum didn't know about Brian and I, she would explode if she finds out. But anyways everything has been going great...Brian's POV "Get me the documents!! This isn't supposed to be happening." I shouted at my secretary.I have been expecting some goods from overseas and they were supposed to be arriving anytime this week but from the look of things, it just seems to have disappeared into thin air. I just don't get it, I think there is someone behind this...someone who wants me to look like a failure in father's eyes... I'm very sure of that.

"Oh God! What have I done?"I quickly picked my clothes and put them on immediately rushing out of the room. I was still in shock at what had just taken place and I really don't know what came over me... I mean I don't know if I was ready, I probably should have given this some more thought but the thing was, he honestly didn't force me too. I needed to think about this and I was so not in the mood right now for anything else.I snuck into the room I shared with my mum and quietly got into bed. I hoped tomorrow was going to be a better day...I woke up feeling sore...you know where. I walked into the kitchen and saw both my mum and Janet preparing breakfast. I guess my mum was now feeling better since she was all over the place preparing for the Smiths."Good morning" I greeted everyone.""Good morning dear, hope you're good." My mum responded."Yes mum I'm doing great." I smiled, grateful for the fact that she didn't notice that

Cindy's POV"It's been 10 days... 10 days since the last time I saw Brian, and my life has being miserable since. I came back from the mall with Janet expecting to see him, since it was the weekend but he wasn't around.The worst thing was, I didn't know who to ask since all the people who might know Brian's whereabouts were people I couldn't directly speak to.I tried gathering enough confidence to ask Lisa but I kept thinking about everything that could go wrong if I asked her. I mean, no one knew we were a thing and Lisa and Thelma were best friends so my guess is she hates me too. She hasn't directly been rude to me but she plain out ignores my very existence so I wasn't taking any chances.Today was Monday and the house was functioning as usual. All the maids were doing their jobs and Janet and I had been asked to clean the rooms of all the occupants in t

🍒Brian's POVBusiness was going smoothly even though my life was in a mess right now but that was besides the point. I haven’t heard from Cindy in a long while and it was taking a toll on me. Honestly what kind of a boyfriend was I? I never bothered to ask her for her number, since we practically lived in the same house. I didn't even know if she had a phone, God I was really the worst. I’m wondering what she thinks of me now. Did she hate me? Had she met someone new? All these questions were racing in my mind. I heard a knock on my hotel room door and walked towards the door to find out who it was.Cindy's POV My morning sickness was getting worse and I was having a hard time hiding it from my mum.

Cindy's POVMy hotel room was very luxurious, and what more could you expect from a five star hotel actually?The room was spacious and well decorated but my tired mind barely paid any attention to my surroundings. All I could think about was lying down on the inviting, cozy looking king-sized bed with comfy sheets.I hopped onto the bed forgetting my problems for a while and then drifted to sleep almost immediately.The next morning came by quickly, the knock on my door woke me up. I groggily jumped out of bed and stumbled towards the door. I opened the door and was met with a warm smile from a uniformed man who had a tray full of food. "Good morning ma'am, room service. I ushered the man in and he set the food on the little table across the room. I thanked him and he walked out.I went to the wash

(Cindy instantly tried to shield her daughter and dragged the little girl behind her) It was already too late though; Lisa and Thelma had already gotten a good glance of the little girl who undeniably looked like someone they all know too well. Lisa couldn’t register the anything as the events unfolds right in front of her eyes. Everything she knew of her brother and the former maid was all a lie. How could this happen? This didn’t make sense and she was going to make it make sense before leaving. Cindy on the other hand wasn’t taking this slightly though. She tried to get them all to go back to her car, but even she knew that it was not going to work, and Lisa calling out her name actually confirmed it. The former maid just couldn’t believe it. Six years. Six freaking years. She had managed to avoid the poisonous family for six whole years and now here they all were, swarming into her life all over again like evil bees… or even worse, locusts. All the walls she had built up al

Chapter twenty-fiveWe had been discharged the following day just as the nurse had promised. A week had passed by since then.Everything was going great and I couldn’t be much happier. Mum had come by a couple of times, and that helped a lot since I had to go to work and Kayla needed someone to be by her side while she had that long week rest the doctor had prescribed for her along with her medications.I woke up early as usual, my heart giddy with that usual thrill of knowing I was going to work, but when I stepped into my bathroom for a quick shower, a quick look at my calendar revealed that I had it all wrong. It was Sunday. I’m pretty sure the loud groan of frustration I let out woke up the entire neighborhood, but then again, I always loved exaggerating so I wasn’t really sure.Why in the hell had I woken up early then?It was too late for church… seeing as I wasn’t ready physically and mentally, and being one of those people who could never go to bed once they were awake, I kn

BRIAN’S POV“Rosa! You coming? We’re running late! I hollered down the hallway, glancing at my watch in frustration. Honestly, what was it with women and being late all the time? We were just going to see the obstetrician for fuck’s sake.“Geez Brian,” Rosaline huffed, hopping towards me and trying to slip on her heels in the process. “You’d think you’re the pregnant one here, come on, let lose.” She teased playfully, but I paid her no mind, my eyes focusing on the long strappy things she was wearing. “Are you sure you should be wearing those though?”She shot me a pointed look. “You do know I’m only pregnant, not invalid, right?” She inched close to me, planting a light kiss on my lips. “I’m really glad you’re all in with me, Brian,”“I’m really glad I am too, Rosa.” I admitted softly with a smile, pulling h

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREECindy’s POV“Cindy, will you move in with me?”That sentence was our parting words, since I couldn’t say anything after he dropped that bombshell on me.I had tucked in Kayla and had also retired to the comfort of my sheets but the comfortable goodness couldn’t help take my mind off what Sam had said earlier. He’s amazing and all but he knew I had just moved away from my parents not quite long ago and he also knew that Kayla and I had just started to finally settle in our new home so I didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to rush things all of a sudden.To be honest, he had rendered me speechless because I didn’t want him thinking I wasn’t fully committed but I was also very proud of what I had been able to build. Sam has always been patient with me and always understanding, so I was really hoping this wasn’t going to be a problem.By the time I was drifting off i

Chapter 22 Cindy’s POV Well if you haven't figured it out by now, I'll tell you. Sam is my fiancé. He’s a good guy, I'm actually very lucky to have him you know? It's funny how when he started pursuing me, I initially hated his guts. We met at the neighborhood’s park, one cool afternoon. Kayla was just three years old then and the weather was too perfect to not go on a walk. He just happened to be walking his dog that day, a very cute brown and white collie that even I could not help but admire. I must have been staring for quite too long, because before I knew it, Kayla had torn her hand away from mine and was dashing towards the dog at amazing speed. I swore under my breath and chased after her. My little girl was a very passionate animal lover even at such a young age, but my only concern in that moment was to make sure the dog didn't harm her in any way. flashback

Chapter 20 Six years later Cindy's Pov “Kayla! Come on honey, we've got to go or else you'd be late.” I shouted as I proceeded to exit the house to my car. Six years. It's been a whole rollercoaster you know? Having to juggle the responsibility of raising a six year old while managing a rapidly growing fashion line was tough, but I was loving every bit of it. Besides, I had the best support system a young woman could ask for, meaning I was basically living the good life. “Bye grandma, bye grandpa.” I heard my little girl holler before hurrying to join me outside. A whole lot had happened in the space of six years, starting with Janet, my best friend getting a scholarship to go study abroad. She had come to see me a week after Kayla was born and Dr. Mike, being the good man he was, had asked her to stay for a few days. The good new
