"And why is she calling you? Isn't she married? She should be asking her husband for help first," Hanna told Ethan.

"Wait, Hanna. Let me remind you: you're not my real girlfriend. We're just pretending. You have no right to tell me what I can or can't do with my life. You're getting paid for this job," Ethan retorted.

It felt like a slap in the face.

Hanna released Ethan's hand. Why was she losing touch with reality? And why did it hurt?

She seemed jealous, even though she had no right to be.

Hanna laughed to mask her embarrassment. "Sorry, Mr. Miller. I got too into my role. Go ahead and see Ms. Jenner. She might need you."

Ethan didn't hesitate and left immediately.

Hanna sank onto the soft bed.

What was happening to her? She slapped her cheeks to remind herself that they were only pretending. A CEO couldn't fall for a cleaner.

Hanna left Ethan's condo, carrying the expensive phone he had given her. But why wasn't she happy? Weren't material things supposed to bring joy?

    "Yes, I'm a cleaner here. How have you been?" Hanna asked."I'm good. I'm moving back to the Philian for good," Dylan replied."That's great. Nothing beats being in our own country.""Have you and your boyfriend been together long? Lyn told me you didn't have a boyfriend just two weeks ago. I was surprised when you introduced him as your boyfriend," Dylan remarked."He's not my boyfriend. He's the CEO of Mythical Marketing Solutions. We were together because he had some work for me. He was just joking around," Hanna clarified.Dylan's expression brightened."Oh, nice. I haven't spoken to the CEO of this building under construction. I talked to his secretary, Terry, earlier," Dylan said.They chatted a bit more while Hanna cleaned his office.***With a smile on her face, Hanna returned to the cleaners' quarters. Dylan had asked for her phone number and promised to call so they could continue their conversation."Hanna, Mr. Miller wants to see you," Mila said.The room buzzed

    "Mr. Miller, that question is too personal," Hanna told Ethan."You don't want to answer because you might have lied to Lola. Maybe it wasn't just one man. Tell the truth," Ethan pressed.Hanna restrained herself from rolling her eyes. "Dylan. Remember the guy I was talking to on the video call?"She couldn't think of anyone else to mention. She couldn't tell Ethan that he was the first man she had been with, or that she had taken his wallet containing almost 400 dollars, which she had already spent.Ethan seemed to clench his jaw at the mention of Dylan's name, though it was probably just her imagination. It was unlikely he would be angry at the person who had taken her virginity."Just make sure you don't contact any other men while our agreement is in place. You belong to me. Understood?"She nodded. "Don't worry. I love my job and the money I'll earn."'And I love you! Wait! Why did that thought even cross my mind?!' she wondered."Good! I'm glad that's clear. Give me your

    They laughed together, and Rosa introduced them. "This is my grandson, Ethan, and his girlfriend, Hanna Smith."Francisco shook their hands warmly. "What a beautiful young lady. Ethan, don't let her go. Marry her and have lots of kids to keep the family line going."They laughed at Francisco's joke.Ethan left Francisco to chat with Rosa and invited Hanna to dance. "Shall we dance? Just to pass the time and show Grandma that we're sweet on each other.""Mr. Miller, I don't know how to dance," she whispered in his ear.Besides, the music was sweet, and she wasn't eager to be close to Ethan's body again."Don't worry, I'll teach you," he said, pulling her onto the dance floor.Hanna glanced around. All she had to do was drape her arms around his neck, which she did. She felt his hand settle on her waist.Unfortunately, she was clumsy with her feet and kept stepping on his toes."Just follow my lead. Relax. Your body is too stiff," he said.The dance steps were simple.What she

    Ethan entered the condo.Hanna hugged herself and hid under the blanket. "Did something happen between us last night? Sorry, I can't remember anything."He handed her a glass of water and some medicine."What do you think?" he replied with a teasing smile.Hanna felt her body. There was no pain in her intimate areas, unlike before when she had difficulty walking because of his large cock.Her cheeks flushed at the memory. Perhaps it was because it was her first time before and now the second that she didn't feel any pain."Get up and take a shower. We'll go to the office together," he said, handing her a new set of clothes and shoes.After showering, Hanna found Ethan preparing breakfast.'Husband material. How sweet,' she thought."Breakfast is ready," he said.She was about to take a bite, but he stopped her. "Let's take a picture first and send it to my mom and grandmother."'Ah, so that's why he made an effort,' she thought.Ethan just wanted to impress the two elders t

    "I have a boyfriend now. His name is Dylan. He's an engineer at our building site," Hanna revealed.The room buzzed with whispers.Hanna was certain the news would spread quickly, putting an end to the rumors about her and Ethan.***It was time to go home, and Hanna was exhausted from work. They had rearranged a lot of equipment.Hanna glanced at her phone and noticed numerous missed calls from an unknown number, along with several text messages.She opened them and discovered that Lester was in jail—he had been arrested for shoplifting and was asking for help at the precinct.Hanna suddenly felt a surge of stress. She hurried out of the building and almost collided with Dylan.She grabbed his arm, nearly losing her balance in her rush."Oh, what's wrong?" he asked."My brother, Lester, is at the precinct. I need to go there now," she replied."Let's go. I'll come with you. The car's in the parking lot." He handed his report to a colleague and instructed him to give it to T

    Dylan extended his hand to Ethan, fully aware that Ethan would not shake it.Hanna felt a mix of amusement and exasperation—here were two handsome men seemingly ready to fight over her, and neither of them was actually her boyfriend.Edgar emerged and called the men inside. "We have guests! Come in, gentlemen. Let's have a drink."Edgar was thrilled at the prospect of having some alcohol."Mr. Smith, I'll send over some good liquor," Ethan said."Mr. Smith, feel free to order whatever snacks you like," Dylan added.The neighbors were already peeking, recognizing Dylan.The three men began drinking, and Edgar even invited some friends over.Ethan sat beside Hanna and put his arm around her. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, since I have you both here, I want to ask for Hanna's hand in marriage. We're planning to get married."Hanna caught Dylan's look of surprise out of the corner of her eye but couldn't bring herself to look at him directly.Ethan kissed her forehead and held her hand tig

    Hanna began mopping the floor, acutely aware of the weight of all the eyes on her every move.Ethan was incredibly annoying. Why did he have to hold her hand in front of everyone?***Mila approached Hanna during lunch. "Mr. Miller wants to see you in his office."Hanna nodded and decided to visit the bathroom first. She let her hair down, applied some powder, and added a thin layer of lipstick after brushing her teeth. Then, she took the elevator up—she was used to it by now.What could Ethan want to discuss?She found him sitting on the sofa."What can I do for you, Mr. Miller?" she asked, trying to sound cheerful."Drop the 'Mr. Miller' and stop being so formal. We're going to be married. Get used to calling me 'Ethan' or 'sweetheart'. Anyway, I have something for you," he said.He placed a small box on the table. "My gift for your birthday tomorrow."Hanna smiled, pleased that he remembered. She opened the box to reveal a ring with a large stone."A diamond ring for my w

    Cali's smile stretched from ear to ear. "I heard everything. So, your relationship with Ethan isn't real?"Hanna immediately pulled her closer to the stairs for a private conversation."Hey, let go of me! What are you planning to do?" Cali demanded, her voice sharp."I'm not planning anything bad. Just don't tell Ethan that you know the truth, or he'll get angry. No one else should know that our relationship is fake," Hanna said.Cali crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, I'm easy to talk to. I won't tell him, but I need a favor from you."This posed a problem."Okay, what favor do you want?" Hanna asked, her brow furrowed."You'll help me win Ethan back once you two break up. I want him back," Cali said."Wait, doesn't he still love you?" Hanna exclaimed.Cali's face brightened. "Really? Did he say that to you?""No, but I think he still loves you.""Really? I thought we couldn't get back together because of you. Looks like we'll be best friends," Cali said.Hanna felt a

    Cali's eyes became evasive. "My dad and Ethan had an agreement that we would get married. But because of my foolishness, their deal fell apart."My dad got angry with me. He still isn't speaking to me. To make peace, I need to get back together with Ethan. So, I'm begging you, I need your help.""You didn't answer my question. Do you want Ethan? Do you love him?" Hanna asked again."Who would say no to the sole heir of the Millers' fortune? No one, right? I'd be living like a queen," Cali replied.Hanna didn't press further. It seemed like Cali didn't want to answer directly."But we have a rival. His first love," Cali added.Cali had her attention again."Who is his first love?" Hanna asked.Cali took out her phone. "A talented chef with a chain of restaurants abroad. Here's her social media account. Casey Taylor."Cali showed her a picture of a beautiful woman.Jealousy crept into Hanna's heart.

    Hanna noticed Ethan's eyes lingering on her chest."You can touch them if you want," she said, removing the straps of her bra and letting her large breasts spill out."No, I don't want to touch. I just want to fuck you," he replied.Hanna nodded, her ample breasts bouncing as Ethan thrust in front of her.The pain quickly faded, replaced by intense pleasure. Her body was consumed by the sensation of his thick, large cock moving in and out.Not knowing where to hold on, she gripped the desk.Pieces of paper and folders fell to the floor.Ethan continued his relentless thrusting. He reached for her clit and rubbed it repeatedly while he plunged deeply.The pleasure was maddening. Her insides tightened, and her body shook as she climaxed.But Ethan didn't stop. He continued to plow into her, now faster. Her hips followed his every thrust, and she hooked her legs around his waist.She saw the intense pleasure on his face. He pressed his lips to hers as he continued to thrust rapi

    "There's still no suspect, even now. The moment Ethan's kidnapper is caught, they will pay dearly. The trauma our entire family has endured because of their actions is severe. There is no forgiveness for the cruelty they inflicted on my grandson!" Rosa growled."The person we assigned to gather information hasn’t stopped, Lady Miller. Should I inform Mr. Miller that Hanna is the woman he's looking for?" Terry asked."No, he'll find out eventually. And I don’t want him to know that we’re communicating or that I’m getting information from you. You know my grandson—he doesn’t like others meddling in his affairs. I just want to ensure his well-being," Rosa said."You can count on me to keep a close watch on Mr. Miller," Terry reassured her."What about the woman who had an accident outside the company? Is she connected to the missing large sum of money?" Rosa asked."Yes, she was the head of the Accounting Department. Since dead men tell no tales, any other involved parties might rema

    As a sign of mourning for Cindy's passing, Ethan declared a day off so employees could offer their condolences. He also sent flowers and a substantial amount of money to her grieving family.Life was indeed fleeting—one moment someone could be here, and the next, they could be gone from this world."Hanna, come with me to the condo. Help me with some documents. I'll call a meeting for tomorrow," Ethan said.***They arrived at the condo, and Ethan handed Hanna a laptop to facilitate their work.They compared the digital copies in the system with the hard copies of the financial reports submitted to Ethan.Ethan asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll place an order.""Just pasta, please," Hanna replied, and Ethan placed the order."Let's eat first. We'll continue our work later," Ethan said.After a few minutes, their order arrived. They went to the dining table and began eating the pasta and pizza."It's my fault. I haven't checked in three months. I got too complacent and tru

    Ethan unzipped Hanna's denim jeans and slid his hand inside, cupping her.Hanna's eyes widened as his fingers caressed her slit and played with her clit repeatedly. The intense sensation made her mouth open in a silent gasp.His finger moved up and down, and she couldn't suppress the soft moan that escaped her lips.Ethan attempted to remove her jeans, but they were too tight and wouldn't come off easily. Frustrated, he continued to help her, but it was quite difficult.As the rain stopped, people began to return."Next time, no denim pants on dates," he said with a frown.Hanna simply smiled.***Ethan walked her home."Are your folks asleep already?" he asked."Yes, why?"Ethan didn't answer. He opened the door and immediately kissed her on the lips. His kiss was passionate, and Hanna responded eagerly. He gently bit her lower lip and then kissed her neck."Oh, you're here. Take it to the room if you're going to continue that," Edgar's voice startled her, making her nearl

    "Ms. Smith, you can go home now. Mr. Miller is still finishing something," Terry said, interrupting her thoughts."Terry, drop the 'Ms.', and just call me 'Hanna'," she replied.Terry smiled at her.Hanna left the office and took the elevator. She noticed that the employees she passed seemed to avoid her gaze, and the usual whispers had ceased.What happened?Hanna went to the staff quarters and greeted her colleagues, who were all looking down.She placed the cake on the table and invited them, "Come on, let's eat the cake. It's huge. Madam Miller gave it to me."Unexpectedly, no one approached the table."Mila, what's going on? What happened?" Hanna asked."Mr. Miller sent an email saying that anyone who speaks ill of you will be sued and lose their job," Mila revealed."What? I never mentioned to him that I heard gossip about me.""If you didn't report it, as many assume, then someone else must have told him about the rumor that you're involved with both the CEO and the e

    Hanna grew nervous and quickly left the bathroom, running into Lyca."Sis, is someone in the bathroom?" Lyca asked."Yes, Ethan is inside. He'll be out soon," Hanna told her sister.Ethan emerged from the bathroom.Hanna averted her eyes but couldn't help but notice the mischievous smile on his lips.Why did it feel as if he was lusting after her, and why did she find it appealing? Was this what happened when love was absent? Was it merely her body he desired?Hanna reminded herself that she was being paid, not just for her services but for her body as well.After a brief conversation, Ethan said goodbye.Hanna walked him to his car, and he handed her a small paper bag."For you. Happy birthday," he said."Thank you so much. Why are you giving me so many gifts? It's getting embarrassing.""Everything I give you comes with a price."

    Just thinking about being with Ethan all the time at home after they got married seemed unbearable to Hanna, and now they would be together at work as well."Why don't you ask Cali to be your assistant instead? She already knows you, and you can be with her more often," Hanna suggested.Ethan shot back, "Are you turning down my job offer? The salary is 1,200 dollars a month."Her eyes widened. "I would never refuse an order from my superior. I'll start tomorrow.""Good! There's a bonus if I like your performance," Ethan added.What performance was Ethan talking about? She always gave 100% in everything she did.***They walked along the beach, looking at a large cruise ship. They sat on a concrete bench, the wind strong around them."Why did you and Dylan grow distant?" Ethan asked.Hanna was surprised by his question. "His parents didn't like me. They said I was a hindrance to their son's progress. They were right because when Dylan went abroad, he had a better life.""That'
