Breakfast
Last Updated:
2023-01-31 12:06:46As Lydia walked down the stairs, she saw that her entire family was seated at the table having breakfast. Her fake mom probably cooked the meal once she heard that Lydia wasn't going to do it. In fact, she still looked frightfully angry as she gazed at Lydia.
“Morning” Lydia said as she took her seat at the table.
“What’s the matter with you? Why can’t you smile? Just because of a little tiredness you can’t cook for us? Hmph! You’re becoming more and more lazy around here. Luckily I know how to cook or everyone would have starved to death because of your uselessness. Do you think that you’re the only billionaire in the world? Others work harder than you and can still afford to cook for their families… but here we are stuck with a lazy girl as a daughter.” Mrs.Hart sneered as she looked at Lydia with rage and disgust.
When was the last time she cooked? In her mind, this bastard girl had caused her to suffer too many grievances. How could she not let out steam?
Camilla quickly held her hand and tried to coax her. “Mom, don't be mad. Sister is just very tired from working a few hours in the company. Camilla said with a sarcastic smirk on her face
A few hours?
Lydia couldn't be bothered with the mother-daughter pair. As she was about to take some eggs from the side, fake mother Hart tapped her hands with a serving spoon aggressively.
“What do you think you’re doing? Did you cook? Why should you eat this food?”
Oh?
Lydia fluttered her lashes innocently. “So does that mean when I cook, only I should eat?”
“This…”
{Silence}
The whole room fell quiet, as Mrs. Hart panicked, not knowing how to respond. And like her, everyone's mind fell into their own thoughts when they heard the question.
‘This stupid woman will ruin my plans! If Lydia gets annoyed or suspicious, she won't even think about signing her will anymore.’ Mr.Hart inwardly cursed.
‘Since when did she become this smart? She never complained before and always did whatever we told her to… Lydia, Lydia, Lydia… Is it because of the fatigue of working in the company? Yes that must be it. She stays in the office the entire day, everyday…. But so what? She’s just our family doing and has no right to complain! Nonetheless, if she really gets angry, she won't give us her money any longer. Damn mom! Dont fuck it up for us all.’ Harvey anxiously prayed, and Camila also felt the need to sew her mother’s lips.
‘No! What if she gets angry?... Ahhh-... And she just agreed to write her will this morning. Dammit mom, really? Why can’t you shut that stupid trap of yours?’
Mrs. Elms felt aggrieved, seeing everyone's blaming eyes fall on her. Of course, she didn't blame them, but felt it was Lydia’s fault for making her look bad.
‘Bastard child! Who does she think she is? Wait till we personally take your company and shares from you. You are just a common maid. You should be lucky we allowed you to eat at the same table with us. So dare you talk back to me? Ahh.’
Countless thoughts raced through their brains, as everyone rushed to coax Lydia.
“Why did you talk to our daughter like that? Lydia, eat as much food as you like. Your mom was only joking with you.” replied Mr. Hart.
“Dad’s right sis, mom was just playing with you”
“Yeah! Eat all you can eat.”
“Don’t mind me dear.. I'm just tired as well” replied Mrs.Hart
“Okay.” Lydia smiled broadly, having enough fun for now.
“So Lydia, I heard from Camilla that you are going to write your will?” Mr.Hart asked while cutting a piece of eggs with his knife.
“Yes dad, I will see him later in the office. Dont worry too much dad, I know what to do.”
As she spoke with her dad, a pair of heels could be heard approaching the dining room slowly.
A gorgeous girl walks in, making her way toward Lydia. The girl almost brought Lydia to tears if she hadn't restrained herself. Everyone else at the table saw Lydia’s face and thought it must be due to the tiredness from the extra hours in the office.
“Good morning Boss, good morning boss’ family. Boss, you have an appointment in the next hour and 20 minutes. We have to leave–... Eh?... Boss, are you not feeling too well? Do you need to reschedule your appointments for today?” The girl asked worriedly.
Mya… It was good to see her alive again.
Lydia masked her emotions. “No thanks Mya. Let’s go.”
“Yes Boss” Mya responded professionally, leading Lydia out.
“Boss.” Mya opened the door and Lydia sat at the back while she sat at the front with the driver.
Lydia closed her eyes and crossed her arms against her chest, feeling pain, guilt and remorse for what happened to Mya in her previous life. In this life, she will protect Mya well.
Lydia didn't know her actions and pained expressions caused Mya to worry.
‘What could make the boss so sad? Is it because of her family? Did the boss finally realize treat their boss like a slave… ~Sigh… Boss is too pitiful… A millionaire to others but a common maid to her family.’ Mya shook her head wryly, as the vehicle steadily drove off. And the moment they left, the Hart family showed their true colors.
~CRASH!!!!
Mrs.Hart threw a teacup at the wall. “I hate that bitch and her stupid secretary”
“We all do. But patience dear, soon they will be dead… you have to be careful how you act around her. At least wait till she writes her will.” Mr.Hart spoke calmly, his brows tightly furrowed.
“What about her secretary?” Harvey frowned. “The bitch is too loyal to that slut. Having her stay around Lydia would definitely reduce our chances of getting that Will written. She ill definitely talk Lydia out of doing so.”
“What do we do about her then?” Camilla added.
“Her?” Mr. Hart chuckled cruelly. “Don’t worry, we already hired someone to replace Mya as a secretary. At Least she should be happy that we didn't kill her yet.”
“But dad, will that work? I mean that slut really likes Mya. She won't fire Mya for no reason would she.”
“Leave that to me… Your brother and Nate… They know what to do.”

“Good Morning, Boss”“Good Morning, Miss Boss”“Good Morning, Boss”In the company, several employee’s humbly saluted Lydia wherever she went. And by the time she stepped into her private elevator, she had already been greeted by over 200 employees. “Mya, reschedule all morning appointments. I need you to call up all company secretaries and department managers to my office immediately.”“Right away, Boss.” Mya took off like the wind, just on cue before Lydia’s phone began vibrating.Seeing the caller I.D, Lydia showed a true smile. “Is it done?”[Hmmm…] The man on the other end hummed in acknowledgement. [When do you want to put your plan into motion?]“2 days from now… And thank you.”[Hmmm.]Lydia dropped the call, seeing Mya approaching from outside.Her office walls allowed her to see the long hallway leading to her office. But those approaching her office wouldn't be able to see what she did here. Mya approached her door with a group of managers and secretaries. Once inside, My

-----The Hart Family House------In the dining room, a beautiful vase crashed on the wall.~Crashhhhhh!!!!!The sound was thundering."That Bitch!!!! How dare she fire our people? Isn't it the family's company?" Mrs. Hart yelled angrily."Mom, how am I supposed to secure my position in the company now? All the people that backed me up were fired...What could have gotten into her recently?... She was always so obedient before,” Camilla asked with a confused tone.Mr. Hart looked at his angry wife and frowned."Calm down, I've already investigated it.... Those buffoons that we hired didn't even try to blend in at the company. They hadn't been doing their jobs for a long, long time.....Also, everyone else in the company had always complained about their behavior. I'm guessing that it was because of these complaints that the dumb girl fired them. To top it all off, they also took paid vacations without anyone's knowledge. Those damn bastards.... They were stealing our money!!!" Mr.Hart

Within this week, they have been kidnapping lost, homeless, and abandoned children all over the city. So far, they had succeeded in luring 24 children into their base. These children were gagged, tied up and locked up in the basement of their hideout.The ones that were only than 15, were generally raped. These children were to be sold to big drug lords and kingpins within the country. Even rich people from abroad wanted some of these kids. These children would be turned into 'house pets'. Their only purpose was to serve their masters in any way possible... There were even auctions that sold the children to the highest bidders.Tonight, they had also carried out a similar auction as well. The buyers had nodded and were about to collect all 24 kids.Nate saw a 45 year old man slowly walking towards them. He had a pot belly and a lot of jewelry all ove

-------Hart Family House-------- "Dad, I just lied to a police officer for you. So be honest. Where did you hire Nate from? Why didn't you check his background? With all his crimes... If he lied against you guys... then, then… all of you will definitely go to jail.” Lydia asked with worry. But her concern only made them uncomfortable. "From now on, I will hire my own bodyguards, so you don't need to worry about me. I also have to go to the police station to hear what he has to say. If he lies about you guys, then I will try to help you all.. Don't forget... he mentioned your names..." Lydia added in panic. And sure enough, Mrs. Hart almost had a heart attack on the spot. What the hell? There was no way that she would allow Lydia to find out.. no way in hell!! In Fact the whole family thought the same way, not just Mrs. Hart. "You're right. I should have looked into it more. When would you be going to the police station?.You know that we care for you... If you think that it would b

One day later, the same police officers came back to the Hart residence during breakfast."Good morning, Miss. We have terrible news. Last night, your bodyguard and his crew died mysteriously."Died?Lydia was taken aback. How did her family do it? Who was helping them in the shadows?"Weren't they under police custody? How could they be murdered then?" Lydia asked while pretending to look very depressed."Miss, last night, there was a power outage at the station, and by the time the lights came back on, they were all dead. We suspect someone hired skilled assassins to sneak into the station and murder them." The first officer stated while vigilantly observing everyone’s expressions."Yes. We suspect that it was one of their acquaintances on their line of business. The person was probably scared of being ratted out and hence, decided to murder them all." The second officer added.At this point, the other Hart family members were relieved."That's really sad.. I would've loved to talk

In a blink of an eye, the days flew like running water. -----Hart Residence----- The air is so brittle it could snap in half. No one spoke, yet everyone was moving in and out of the main building severally. Holding their breaths, the household staff were quick on their feet, transporting the many luxurious suitcases with utmost care. "You idiot! Are you drunk? Do you know how much my bags cost? Even if I sell you 20 times on the black market, it won't cover the damn cost!" "Take it easy! Take it easy, you MORON. That's my latest baby in your hand. If I get so much as a scratch on it, I'll deduct your salary for the next three months!" The Harts bellowed like fire-breathing dragons at the useless staff around them. They wore luxurious attires and controlled the scene with their noses raised to the sky. And when everything was packed, they stood before the vehicles, facing saying their farewells to Lydia in a rushed manner. "Sister, don't worry. Like I've said, I'll take enough pic

Standing before Julia was her driver and the head guard, who were tapping their feet and crossing their hands on their chests. Lydia paid no heed to their actions as she calmly nodded at Mya. "Here... Take it." Mya handed them a card. "With this, I expect you both to handle things around here, and get daily supplies, be them groceries or lightbulbs if it comes to it." "Ahhhh!" The duo was ecstatic, sending their hands to the card. They've worked here so long that even if they didn't respect Lydia, they knew she was a very generous person. Meaning the money in the card should be three or even ten times more than what they might require. Which gives way to another fundamental question -- Who among them will get to carry it? The driver and the head guard stared at each other viciously, forgetting they were still in the Presence of their boss. Hmph! The driver raised his nostrils to the sky, pulling the card to his end. "Are you picking a fight with me? You and I know that

Closing her eyes, Lydia felt her body relax. No matter how revenge-stricken she seemed, there was a part of her that feared her family.Lydia took deep breaths, calming her trembling hands. She knew it was silly, but living under their control for almost 30 years in her previous life made her body agitated whenever she disobeyed them. Mya didn't notice her strangeness, steadily drove the vehicle into a paid Parking building. Around and around they circled till they reached the fourth floor. Very casually, Mya took Lydia's suitcase before opening the door. They were going to switch to a very mediocre vehicle from here on out. Soon, they were on the road again, heading back where they came from. Lydia nodded approvingly, seeing the gated residential community they drove into. "Are you here for a visit or do you live here? If so, please show your ID, blah, blah, blah."The security guards did brief but thorough checks. Although this gated community wasn't at the top of the food ch

She prayed, fasted and invited Buddhist monks to give her a few good words or two, blessing the daughter in her womb. All of them said the girl would live with them and grow old happily... all except one monk who said their daughter would face 2 tribulations in her life. One during her birth and another in her late 20s. The monk spoke strange words, saying she was a Phoenix who would be reborn from the ashes of deep suffering.The monk's words undoubtedly caused the couple to throw him out, angered by his cursed words left for their daughter. They didn’t take his words seriously.Though just to be sure, security was doubled and on the same day Bianca put to birth. However, nothing could've prepared them for fate's disparate moves to take their daughter away from them. By some
His Reward Reality Hits - 2
Yes! They must do something now. Camilla nodded in agreement, also thinking of her current bank account balance. Kelvin was better. Thanks to Camilla always wanting to prove she was better than Lydia, she was the one paying for most of the things he bought. In his account, he still had 2 million. If he was smart, he would leave the country and start a new life somewhere else. But the greed in him didn't want to let Lydia's wealth go. Thinking of how much Lydia loved him, she was bound to forgive him later, right? Looking at the 4 million in his account, Father Hart knew any moves he was doing next would have to be a smart one. They didn't have money to throw around again. Very quickly, Father Hart transferred 3.7 million to his private account, before showing the family the remaining 300 thousand he had. "Look. We must put our hands together if we want to pass through this hurdle. Everyone must transfer at least 60% of their current balance and contribute to paying an

With the fire calmed, Father Hart slowly took a seat, and reached for his chest pocket revealing his smoke pipe."Alright. We are family. This includes you, Kelvin... In times like these, we must stick together and fight the common enemy.""The maid?"Father Hart calmly blew a whiff of smoke from his mouth. "Yes and no."Eh? Everyone stared at each other wide-eyed, before focusing on Father Hart, wanting to get a piece of his sage wisdom. "Lydia isn't the real issue here. Her decision solely relies on how the public views the matter too.""That's right!" Camilla exclaimed. "That fool is a sheep that always needs a Shepherd to pull her along. Her emotions are only heightened because of the many comments she's reading online. So although we can't entirely win the matter, we can still hire a navy online to whitewash ourselves to some extent."(*An online Navy is a group of people online hired by their clients to leave comments and direct the wind of topics in their client's favor.)To

The chaos was just too much but that's none of Lydia's business. She knew her family would probably rush back home as soon as word went out. After all, she wasn't answering any of their calls and she wasn't at home either. Desperation could make even the smartest of people break. During this time, they will become more radical, resorting to even darker plots to get their way. Should she be at home, who knows what they might do to force her to sign the Will? A cornered rat could bite, leaving deadly diseases on its victim. Lydia squinted her eyes dangerously, staring at the monitor before her. Sure enough, the micro cameras she had installed when buying the house proved useful. On the other side, her family had just returned home slamming their bags and cursing at their luck of being caught in a deadly scandal. Do you know the feeling of having the will almost done, only to get caught in this matter that might make the useless maid defensive?Dammit!Harvey ruthlessly ran his
His Reward Checkmate
Thinking of his plans, Father Hart dared not tell his big-mouthed daughter, lest she one day drinks and blow his secrets all up! [You will go on your knees and beg for forgiveness!] "Beg? You want me to beg that lowly maid? Why should I-" Tut~ Father Hart dropped the call feeling it was pointless talking to someone whose brain was filled with wallpaper paste. Has he been talking with water in his mouth? Or is she just normally that stupid. In truth, Camilla knew what she had to do. But knowing wasn't the same as accepting. Since she was born, she has never been on her knees before Lydia. The thought of it made her blood boil. At this time, she and Kelvin had long run to their vehicle, trying to drive away amidst the crowd of camera flashing freaks. Throughout their grand escape from the building to their vehicle, Kelvin hadn't caught his breath yet. He had an uneasy feeling. "Baby, what happened? What's wrong?" "She knows! The whole f**ching world knows, that's what's HAP

She still didn't think it was her fault till now. He was originally her boyfriend, so why was everyone pointing her out to be a mistress? A side piece he would grill and eat, throwing the leftovers away as he liked? No. [You think you're still right? Do you think I care about your opinion? After we finally finalized the damn thing, you and Kelvin just had to come along to ruin it for us all! For the Will... we will have to get back into her good graces.] "Why?" Camilla frowned. "Wasn't there a plan-C which would commence in case Lydia refused to give us her properties? Can't we just move on with the plan and kill her as intended?" [When I say you're an idiot, you think I'm insulting you! Now that you've openly stated our plans of getting her wealth, should she die, all fingers would first point to us!] Really! How come none of his children inherited his brain? Should he have a DNA test to confirm? Then again, they all look like photocopies of him. Knowing how stupid and depend

Finally, it was over.The days went by longer than usual, perhaps because some waited for their big pay, while others looked forward to other sources of happiness.For some, it was their hate and fear of living among snakes that made their bodies recoil in disgust.“Dad, here! Have some fruit.”“Thank you, daughter. As expected, you are daddy’s padded jacket.” Father Hart stated, feeling pride swell in his chest whenever the family leaned a

[Elder sister...] Camilla spoke softly, like a cat about to purr.[I know dad and brother will always have my back. But as a big girl who is grown up, how can I always disturb them with my needs?]Nonsense! What is disturbing about it? Don't you know you are the family's baby?"A vein appeared above Camilla's right brow.'Is this the point I'm trying to make? Can you just shut up and use your brain for once? You're supposed to be smart, so why can't you see my point?'If Camilla didn't know Lydia well enough, she would've thought she was acting stupid on purpose.[Lyly... I know the family will always have my back. But think about it. Will I always run home

Lydia's call to Harvey yielded similar results to Father Hart's. In fact, when Harvey heard Lydia's original plans, like Father Hart, he too was thankful she didn't make the will earlier.Why?What is the point of keeping 15% while Harvey keeps 45?Are you kidding him? And what was up with giving Camilla 27% while he had 15%?As the only son in this family, he should have more than her! It was his birthright!
