2020-08-31 17:14:26I'm sorry, Miss Zöella...but we won't need you; your services are no longer required here. We appreciate them, but they are no longer required." According to her boss.
"But, sir...what went wrong?" She inquired, perplexed."I'm saying your services are no longer required...do you want me to call security on you?" He inquired angrily."No, sir, no need...I'd leave." She added as she walked out of the office.As she walked through the door, she let her black hair cascade down her back as she grabbed her bag and phone from her office.Goodbye Zealot and co. She said to herself as she flagged down a cab."Thanks." She paid the driver and entered her apartment."Luciano, Estoyencasa." She kicked off her shoes."Luciano?" She was walking towards their bedroom when she heard moans.When she opened the door, she discovered her three-year boyfriend in bed with another woman."Luciano...how could you, who is this puta?" She inquired, angry tears streaming down her cheeks.The agony of losing her boyfriend and her job was simply too much for her.""Zöella, I'll explain," Luciano said, climbing out of bed after her."No, Luciano...you cannot now get that puta out of my house." She added that he threw his belongings out as he dressed and walked towards the door with the girl in his hand."Buen Viaje a la Basura Mala," Luciano said as he slammed the door shut.Zöella sat on the couch, her hands in her lap. Where was she going to begin? She pondered. How could Luciano do that to her? She thought to herself."Zöella, I came as soon as you texted," Zendaya said as she entered the apartment and greeted her friend with a glass of whiskey.“"Oi...mami, gather yourself and tell me what happened," Zendaya said as she took the bottle of whiskey from her friend and sat beside her.Zöella told her everything that had happened between the time she was fired and the time she met Luciano in bed with that puta."I'm so sorry...we'll get through this phase soon," Zendaya said, hugging her friend.Zöella sat on the Lazy chair in her backyard, holding a glass of orange juice. She had contacted every contact she had for a job, but to no avail.Was she going to start over? When she didn't have anything and nowhere to stay? She questioned herself.“How's it going?" Zendaya inquired, placing a plate of hot Italian pasta with meatball sauce in front of her friend."Same old, same old."She moaned as the taste of the pasta exploded in her mouth."Well, I'm not sure if you'd be interested, but an agency is looking for a maid for Alejandro Antonio as soon as possible."However, the monthly salary is $2000, plus other benefits." She said this as Zöella turned to face her friend, almost breaking her neck."Alejandro Antonio?" She was surprised. She might consider taking the job, but then quit when she gets a job in an office."Thank you for this information, Zendaya. It means a lot." She added.Zendaya gave her friend the website of the agency where she applied right away."Well, I've got to go...I have some things to take care of." Zendaya added.“Alright..."I'll see you soon and let you know if I hear anything," Zöella said as her friend walked out the door.She received a notification on her laptop after a few minutes of lazing around.She crossed her fingers, hoping it was from the agency, letting her know she'd gotten the job.Her heart was pounding as she opened the mail, which read... Congratulations Miss ZöellaYou've got the job you applied for. Kindly report to the Maids Agency Limited 99th Street, tomorrow at 9:00 am sharp to be taken to your place of work. No lateness.Thank you.She squealed after reading through the mail for the third time."Thank goodness...I need to call Daya." She stated that she was getting her phone and dialing a friend's number."You guessed it." She screamed with delight as Zendaya answered the phone."Caray mamá, do you want to destroy my eardrum?”Zendaya inquired, taking the phone from her ear."I got the damn job, Cállate." She informed her friend."I'm excited for you, Mami... this calls for a celebration," Zendaya said."Si, Si." Zöella concurred."I'd meet you there in an hour... Hasta logo." She said this before hanging up the phone.Zöella sat in the reception hall with other ladies who had also worked as maids in various houses.The agency had assigned an agent to transport them to their various workplaces and new residence.When they arrived at the agency, they were told to pack their belongings.The ride to their house was exciting; she talked to other maids and even exchanged phone numbers with the majority of them."Miss Zöella Castillo, you've arrived at your workplace and home." The agent announced as he assisted her with her luggage to the gate of Alejandro's mansion.His home was breathtakingly beautiful.The agent rang the bell, and a bodyguard came out with the caretaker to open the gate for them.Kathy showed Zöella her room before leaving to attend to other matters. Alejandro had gone on a business trip and would return in three days.Zöella took out her phone and dialed Zendaya's number. She told her about the beauty of the mansion and how she might have found a new friend in Kathy.They talked about random things before Zendaya had to leave because she had business to attend to.Zöella began unpacking and organizing her belongings because this would be her home for who knows how long.She listened to music while unpacking and arranging the room.She was finished in a few hours and decided to take a shower.She descended the stairs to the kitchen a few minutes after her shower and after she was fully dressed to get something to eat because she was hungry.As she rushed to the kitchen, she detected a delicious aroma.She came across a shirtless man who was 6'9 and had a well toned body, olive skinned, black hair with a messy undercut.“Errrm...Hola?" She greeted with a question.“ You must be Zoëlla, the new maid?" Alejandro asked."Si, Sir." She responded."Nice to meet you." He said leaving the kitchen after dishing his food.Zöella then proceeded to prepare food for herself and cleaned up the kitchen before sitting down to eat.She went back to her room after the kitchen was spotless, wondering where Kathy was and how her boss had returned early from his trip.She later retired to her room. She turned on her laptop and began watching movies.She had some snacks with her the entire time she was binge-watching a series."Tomorrow is going to be a long day." She murmured and sighed to herself as she fell asleep."She appears to be different from the other maids I've worked with. Let's see how that goes."Alejandro thought to himself as he went over some important files on his desk.Related chapters

"Buenas Dias sir." Zoëlla greeted as Alejandro entered the kitchen. "Dónde está mi café?" He asked ignoring her greeting. "It's here." She said handing him his black coffee with milk and no sugar. It was warm just as he liked it. He drank the coffee as he checked his phone to see if he had new messages from the office. "Buenas Dias Ale." Kathy greeted as she walked in dressed in her morning robe which stopped mid-thigh exposing her olive skin and long legs. "Good morning Kathy." He added making Zoëlla shocked as to why he didn't answer when she greeted. "Espero que te haya gustado tu café?" She asked as Zoëlla stared at them at the corner of her eyes while she stirred the pot of sauce. "No estuvo mal Ella lo intentó." He added as Zoëlla smiled sadly at the food she was cooking. "Kathy, Layla would come and pick up some files in the afternoon. They are on my bed so do well to hand them over to her." He stated. "I might not be around so Zoëlla will handle that." She added. "

It had been a month since Zoëlla had worked with Alejandro. She had learnt to get used to his crazy mood swings. One day he's nice and the next minute he is rude. She'd learnt the meals that he loved most and those he didn't like. She could tell how his eyes lit when his favourite foods were served and how he hardly ate a plate full of the ones he didn't like. She had been hearing from Kathy, once a while who was living her life to the fullest, travelling around the world. She, Sia and Edwardo had become good friends. "Hi Zoëlla, Layla greeted as she walked in with her boss." They had some files to finish off since it was getting late Alejandro suggested they complete them in his house. "Holla Layla, Holla Sir." She responded to Layla's greeting and greeted her boss who waved her off. She served their dinner and took it to his study room as he had requested. She placed the tray on the centre table and dished out the food. It was Paella. She could see the smile on her boss's tir

Alejandro and Zöella's friendship had become strong. They stayed up and talked for hours when Alejandro came from work. "Zöella, I need you to be my plus one for a charity ball tonight." He added. "A ball, I don't think I'd fit in with you fancy people Ale." She called him by his pet name. "Eres Una Mujer deslumbrante, Zöella, you'd fit in perfectly." He flattered her. "Thanks, a que hora es el baile de cardiac?" Zöella questioned. " It's at 8 p.m, I'd pick you up at 8:30 pm." He added smirking. "Always fashionably late huh" Zoëlla asserted. "It's fun that way, I'd pick you up later." He expressed as he headed to work. "Hola Sia, I need your help. It's a dress emergency." She told her friend. "I'd be there in a few," Sia added as she hung up and heading out making sure the house was locked. Her bosses always travelled were hardly home. Within a couple of minutes later, she was ringing the doorbell to Alejandro's residence. Zöella got the door for her friend and led her to her

The relationship between Alejandro and Zöella had bloomed into a beautiful friendship. They could stay up late talking after Zöella was done with her chores."How is your new life treating you ?" She asked Sia who had come to visit her friends.She was no more wearing the maid uniform but a beautiful floral dress paired with 6-inch open toe heels.Her hair was held in a tight ponytail and her simple makeup complimented her face. In all, she looked stunning.She had met Mr and Mrs Casagrandes son, Miguel Casagrande, a business tycoon. He was down to earth and jovial.The two clicked as soon as they met and they were working into a relationship."It's fine so far, I'm loving every bit of it and Miguel is such a Buen chico." She sighed dreamingly. "Alguien Esta enamorada (Someone is in love)" Zöella teased her friend."You're just one big tease. Anyways, what's going on with you and Mr Sexy Alejandro ?" She asked her friend."Well, nothing much, just hanging out as friends do." She empha

“Alejandro, why did you bring your domestic staff here with you? What is she to you?" His dad yelled. "Papa, calm down Zoëlla is my friend and a nice person, you'd like her when you get to know her." He reasoned. "I can see where this is headed, you'd end up falling for her and would want to marry but I don't approve and would never." The man barked. "Querida, cálmate, es una Buena chica y sería una Buena esposa. (Darling, calm down, she's a good girl and would make a good wife). ” His mom said. “Never would I agree for that buscador de Oro para casarse con mi Hijo. (Gold digger to marry my son.)" He added walking out. "Ma, No tengo intenciones de casarme con Ella. ( Ma, I have no intention of marrying her)." Ale reasoned. "Just give it time and you'd realise I was right." She said as she walked off. Zoëlla lay on her bed talking to her best friend Sia. "I hope you're having a good time there?" She asked. "Sia, I'm not. A su papá no le gusto. (His dad doesn't like me)." She f

“I would prefer working from home for now.” She told Sia through the phone. Ever since they came home from Barcelona, Alejandro had gone back to his bipolar self but it didn't bother Zoëlla that much because she expected it.“Okay, that would be no problem... I'd explain it to Miguel and his parents, they'd understand,” Sia assured.Zoëlla was not from a poor family at all. Her parents and two siblings had died in a fire outbreak. She escaped this because she had travelled to see her Abuelo and Abuela. On her return, she met the demise of her once loving and caring family. She had to go and stay with her grandparents who adored her. They were against her leaving home to start life afresh, but as stubborn as she is, she still decided to leave and experience life.Her grandad was angry when he learnt his precious jewel was a maid to someone else. He just wanted her home where she belonged. She convinced him she'd be home when she had achieved what she wanted.“Thanks, Sia, you're a lif

“Hey Sia, I just sent you the files on the work you gave me,” Zoëlla said through the phone while typing on the laptop. “Okay, thanks love I'd check my e-mail and get back to you, I was in a meeting, I'd talk to you later,” Sia said hanging up. She had saved the other copy to her laptop and sent the original copy to her. Alejandro had given her some files to work on so she began with that. Carlotta sat on her bed exhausted. Zendaya had worked her to the bones. She was mad at how sometimes she was treated in her own lover's house. Yes! Her lover Luciano. He had called her up one evening asking her to pose as a maid to be sent to their house. He claimed Zendaya no longer made love to him with the excuse of being too tired from work and chores. She accepted the offer besides the pay was good and she was going to be with her lover again. Es hora del show. Carlotta thought to herself as she went back to her duty post. ~ “Tío, she's a good woman and would make a good wife to Ale. Al

“I talked to your dad about Zoëlla and convinced him that she wasn't a gold digger, but a wonderful woman. You have to prove your love for her to him so that he would be convinced the more. He still has doubts, it's up to you to clear those doubts, Ale.” Kathy added. “¿Y si Ella no me ama igual?” He asked. “Can't you see the way her eyes light up when you enter the room, or how she smiles when you acknowledge her? She clearly likes you and it's up to you to make you and her happen. Don't screw this up, Ale.” Kathy added as she walked out. Alejandro broke out of his trance when his secretary walked into his office. “Sir, you have a meeting with the Nolan group of companies in a few minutes, so I suggest we head there now,” Layla added. “Alright Layla, lead the way,” Alejandro said as he followed suit. “Abuelo, Estoy Bien, volvería a casa Cuando haya logrado todo lo que Quiero.” She added relaxing by the poolside. She was done with all the files Sia and Alejandro had asked her

2 years later. “Mi hija, I understand you, and how you feel and I realise you're right. It's time you got married and started your own family. For the company, it's yours, your property now and you've proved to be competent and capable of handling it. How I wished your parents were here to see this." Her grandpa said. “Graçias Abuelo, and thank you and Abuela for everything, you've been the best parents one could ever ask for." She smiled holding his hands. “And you're been the best granddaughter, ever." Her Abuela said walking into the study. “Go get your man, Zoëlla." She said hugging her. Alejandro walked into his office in smiles. “Hey, Mrs Montreal." Ale teased Layla. She had gotten married to Pierre a year ago. “Hi, Ale." She smiled. “It's good to see you well again." She added. “Thank you, for your support and just thank you." He genuinely added. “You're welcome, and I need you and Matilda to help me set up something for Zoëlla, I want to propose and she doesn't know

A couple of weeks had gone by and Zoëlla was busy with meetings and projects. She wasn't talking to Alejandro that much because she went to work early and returned late, exhausted and hungry. Alejandro buried himself in work often. He didn't want to be idle, else he would be affected by Zoëlla's absence and her not able to return his calls often. That's not what she promised. He thought rubbing his temple. As if on cue, his phone rang displaying her Caller ID as he picked up the call. “Hola," He said. “Hola Ale, Como estas?" Zoëlla asked. “I'm well and you?" She could sense he wasn't happy. “Are you fine, you sound unhappy." She said “It's just I don't know what's going on anymore, it looks like we're too busy for each other these days as if we're drifting apart." He sighed. He was right. It seemed like their relationship was on hold. They all prioritised their jobs over what they shared and that wasn't going to help them at all. “Youre right Ale, I realised that also and I do

“I'm going to be back before you know it," Zoëlla told him as he held her hands. “I know but, Te extrañaré(I will miss you), Zoëlla," Alejandro said. He went to see her off at the airport and insisted she took his private jet instead of boarding a plane. “I would miss you too Alejandro, I'm beginning to miss you." She smiled amid her sobs. “I'd have a surprise for you when you get back, greet Abuelo and Abuela for me, tell them I would come to see them soon." He said. “I will, but, I gotta go, Alejandro, " She said as she walked towards the jet. Her luggage was already inside. She turned and mouthed I love you to Ale who smiled as she climbed into the jet and waved. Within a few minutes, they took off as she looked out waving at them. Kathy and Steve helped Alejandro into the car as they drove home. “She would soon be back." She said rubbing his hand. “Hello," Alejandro said picking up his phone. “Hi, Sir the perpetrators have been caught and put behind bars." The police told h

“...Por el Poder que se me ha otorgado, los declaro marido y mujer. Puedes besar a la Novia( ...By the Power that has been vested to me, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride )." The priest said as Coco and Dante kissed. They had wanted to push their wedding further but Zoëlla insisted they got married soon, rather than postponing it because of them. Her grandpa had been putting much pressure on her to take over the family business and she was running out of time. She was torn between the two, staying by Alejandro or leaving him behind. There was no way she was leaving him behind. But how could she make her Abuelo understand? She thought to herself. “Hello up there, what's going on?" Alejandro asked her as she was lost in her world. She wheeled him further from the crowd. It was time she told him so they could find a way forward. “Mi amor, what's wrong?" He asked. “It Abuelo, his health is failing and..." She trailed off sighing. “He wants you to come to take over

Alejandro had been discharged from the hospital in a wheelchair. He had gone to work to monitor the progress. He was grateful to Zoëlla, Layla, Dante and Matilda. They had been the ones running the affairs of the company when he lay on his sickbed. Their stocks had risen higher than it was before. “Gracias por sus Buenos deseos ( Thank you for your good wishes)." He said to his board of directors. “And to you Dante, thank you for everything, you've proved to be a good brother and I owe you one," Alejandro added. “You're welcome, you would have done the same, or even much more for me." He tapped him on his back. “So Alejandro, with your current state are you going to stay home until you recover or you'd continue to work with us?" One of the members asked. “I've started away from work for far too long, I'm not going to let this accident be the reason I stop work, I would continue working." He firmly added as there was a round of applause in the room. Someone else would have found a

Alejandro sneezed drawing the attention of Zoëlla and Maria. He was opening his eyes as Zoëlla rushed to call Coco. When they got back to the ward, his eyes were opened and he was adjusting to his surroundings. “Ma? Zoëlla? What happened?" He asked the women. “Shhh, relax," Zoëlla said as she tapped his legs but his reaction showed one that couldn't feel them. “C-can you feel my hands on your legs?" She asked him. “No, why can't I move my legs." He began to panic. The bullet was lodged in his spinal cord causing damage to it. “Coco?" Zoëlla looked at her friend for answers. “I'm sorry to break this to you but, the bullet caused damages to your spinal cord, thus affecting the movement of your legs." She announced. It was as if a pin had been dropped unto the floor. There was no sound from anyone. They were trying to process the news they had just heard. “Sal, necesito estar solo ( Get out I need to be alone)." He said softly. “Ale.." Zoëlla trailed off. “¡Salir! ( Get out!)" H

Dante had scored yet another deal with the help of Layla, Matilda, Zoëlla and his fiancee, Coco. She had been a huge support to him during the previous years. They were to get married a couple of weeks ago and this happened to Alejandro, so they had to postpone the ceremony until further notice. He was glad at the way she handled the situation by being understanding. She was the doctor in charge of Alejandro. Monitoring him to see if he was improving or not. He had slipped into a coma a few days after he was taken from the ICU. ********** “You look stunning," Mateo said as Zendaya came out from the house. He held her hand and helped her into the car. He joined her in the car closing the door behind him as he drove off. He was glad they had found themselves together again. He was happy she was his again. He loved the smile that was evident on her face. He loved her new glow. He was happy she was herself again. He turned on the radio as Maroon 5's Girl like you played. They both lis

Alejandro lay in the ICU unconscious after his surgery. He had been shot by an unknown assailant when he was going on an important business meeting. Zoëlla stood behind the window numb. She couldn't cry, rant or say a word when she was informed about what had happened. To think everything was going on well after his father's denouncement and now this? His family and friends tripped in and out of the hospital to see if he was taken out of the ICU for the past three days. “Hey." Layla tapped her on the shoulder. “Layla, I've got a suitable candidate for this, Dante his younger cousin. He would be able to manage the company better than I do." She convinced. “That's not a bad idea, but I need to talk to him as soon as possible, the meeting was postponed after his accident, but they sent a letter this morning asking for a replacement. As if on cue, Dante walked towards Zoëlla and Layla. “Speak of the devil and he shall appear," Zoëlla murmured earning a glare from Dante. “Well, Layla

Zoëlla and Frank sat down in Alejandro's office as he offered them a cup of coffee. Just as he promised his board members, he had able to gain stability in his business, sealing this deal would top everything off. His empire would be much successful than it was before. Thank you, Fernando. Alejandro thought to himself. “May we get the final paperwork?" Zoëlla asked. She has sent a copy of the paperwork to Frank and Abuelo already. So they knew what it entailed and what they were in for. Layla handed her the documents as she went through making sure it was the same thing she had sent. Within a few minutes, they had signed the documents and sealed the deal. “Welcome on board," Ale said as he escorted them out of the building. Zoëlla dropped Frank off at his hotel and then headed to home. She saw an unfamiliar car parked at the driveway and decided to go check who it was after she had parked in the garage. “Hola?" She greeted knocking at the window. The person rolled down the window
