Author's point of view... A maid...! Harvey raised his head and his smiling face contorted into a confused one. He read the cold expression on his boss's face and grasped something. No matter his woman or maid, that girl had offended his boss somehow. "Oh..." Harvey nodded. Izzy was not surprised by that response. When she had signed that blank contract, she truly had signed her life away, she knew her role could not simply be his caretaker, but she could at least protect herself from being his bedmate and personal servant and anything else he wanted her to be by being a maid instead. Robert glared at Izzy without a blink. He wanted to see her begging him or at least there had to be some panic in her behaviour but there was none. Izzy silently agreed with him as if she was relieved to be a maid. That irritated the young man. He gritted in anger but refrained himself from showing it. Izzy blinked at him in a daze. He looked angry, but didn't have any idea, why. Did she s
Author's point of view... Izzy trembled as the two men advanced. She didn't know what to do. It was just her first day in that mansion and she was being harassed by these bastards. She felt she would faint at any second. "Don't...don't touch me..." she stammered stepping back until her back hit the wall. She hugged herself and closed her eyes. Greg grinned menaceingly while Tony's hand was just inches from Izzy when gunshots rang out, shattering the tense silence. Izzy jerked and opened her eyes to see what happened only to find the two men crumpled to the floor, clutching their legs, blood pooling beneath them. Izzy covered her mouth and stood frozen, her mind struggling to process what had just happened. Behind her, Robert stood with a smoking gun, his expression unreadable. He casually blew away the smoke from the barrel, a look of satisfaction crossing his face. Izzy's knees went weak, and she felt as if her body was turning to jelly. "What the hell were you doing
Author's point of view... Izzy had just witnessed something that she had never seen before. In her world violence and killing are only talk of the people in the illusion world of movies. But Izzy had never seen such things entertainingly even if that was supposed to be just for an act. Now that it happened right in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but feel frightened. Frightened as a hare on the road before the flashing headlights. She couldn't think much, she couldn't talk much. The sound of the gunshots keeps ringing in her ears. Robert did that to save her, to let the others know that this girl was his and no one was allowed to mess around with her. Or maybe he wanted to frighten her, show her what he was capable of. And after that, Izzy strangely felt the saviour to be her real predator. She was in a trance when he coldly asked her to follow him. It was only after getting into his bedroom that she finally realized what exactly was happening to her. She jerked out
Author's point of view... "You are just...too slow to complete it on time?" he snapped and Izzy frowned, she felt as though her ears heard something odd. Slow...! She moped almost ten rooms and two big halls including the stairs. It was equivalent to her school campus back then and here he is calling her, "Slow...!!" Izzy felt like crying, but couldn't shed any tears. Robert sat leaning back on the bed, resting his hands on either side, a slight cunning smile tugging on his lips. Izzy shrank into the corner. He smirked, he was coming right away to what he wanted to say, slowly, cunningly. "Wasn't that hard for you to work restlessly?" he asked breaking the silence. Of course, it was hard..! She was feeling tired as hell, every part of her body ached but she couldn't possibly complain about her work on the very first day, right? Unaware of what he actually meant, Izzy shook her head, "No it wasn't that hard" she said gulping down the words in her mind. Robert narrowed h
Author's point of view... Izzy had always known her life was unpredictable, but nothing could have prepared her for what happened after this fateful night. She thought it was going to be a simple maid's job and she could just disappear into a corner of the huge Erickson mansion but fate had everything decided for her. A conversation with that man, Robert Erickson, the previous night had left her in an unimaginable abyss. He was a dangerous man and he insisted that Izzy would be his personal maid. Being near him 24/7. His words still rang in her mind the whole night. "I want you to be my personal maid. This isn't a request, it's an order. You'll follow me everywhere, 24/7 including my company." Izzy's heart pounded in her chest. The words—no, the command—were daunting. But Robert's intimidating demeanour left no room for refusal. She checked everything online about Erickson Corporation and found how huge the corporation was. At first, she thought Robert might be one of the nor
Author's point of view... Izzy hesitated for a moment before stepping into the elevator. Flashes of that day roamed in her mind making her fluster. The elevator was spacious and air-conditioned, but Izzy found herself hot as a new layer of sweat had formed on her forehead. She tugged herself to a corner, avoiding even his shadow as if he wasn't a human but an opened electricity wire that would burn her alive if touched. Robert raised his eyebrows and stared at her for a few seconds before turning his head away. Though she didn't raise her head to look back at him, she felt his piercing gaze and could sense that a flirtatious smile had tugged on his face. Gulping down the saliva that had formed in her mouth, Izzy stepped further back, almost attaching herself to the elevator wall. Robert noticed her odd behaviour but it didn't make him mad, instead, he chuckled under his breath. She looked exactly like a little wet kitten, shivering and scared to hell. If he wanted to do
Author's point of view... It was a rush hour of the day and the entire Erickson Corporation building was in chaos. Being a special day, everyone was overly active. After all, their big boss who rarely shows was here to sign the year's biggest contract. Running the chores, and discussing matters among themselves, all the employees, from a mere janitor to the top executive, everyone were busy. But inside the VIP conference hall, there was silence. A deadly silence. Though it was filled with many of the elites, to someone looking from outside, that conference room looked empty. No one from them was willing to speak a word. They were even scared to exhale their breaths. Robert stood silent, his eyes narrowed. The CEO was standing when everyone suddenly rose, halting what they were doing and focusing their attention alternately on Robert's distorted face and the ruined contract. Izzy was terrified. For a moment, the room was frozen, the tension thick enough to cut with a knif
Author's point of view... Getting back to the conference room, Robert faced the stunned employees. His eyes burned with controlled fury. He walked back and sat on his chair calmly. Anyone who saw him will never even imagine that he was the same renowned CEO, known for his ruthless demeanour. He exuded the serenity of an ocean before a strong storm. As Robert didn't speak, James crawled towards his legs and begged. "Sir...I..." Cutting his words in the middle, Robert muttered in a calm but cold and menacing voice. "How long have you been working here?" James shivered, he could hardly stutter his answer. "Sir...s...six...six months" Robert raised his brows and shoved his hand into his coat. Everyone in the room was watching him closely, as the eerie quiet made everything seem very unreal. Robert slowly took out something from his coat and everyone, watching eagerly, looked at his hands and couldn't help but tremble slightly. A gun...! Is he going to kill his sec
