Last Updated:

"Finally! Land of the free!" she dragged her luggage as she rummaged the surroundings with her light brown orbs.Couples holding hands while strolling in the park. Street vendors in some areas. Neon lights that sparkling brightly on the big billboards in the pedestrians. Names of closed stores and other establishments. It still looked daytime but when she glanced at her diamond watch, it was nine in the evening.She continued walking, her backpack hanging on her shoulder. Her luggage was just as tired as her. They were both dragging themselves on the ground. Till she thought she had found solace. But the line was as long as an anaconda she once watched in their private theater in the mansion."Cymbals!""Is that a bar?" she asked herself.She was eighteen but she had never been to bars before. She was also a night owl but how she spent her night wasn't what a normal teenager did. While they were under the disco lights jiggingRelated chapters

When Maria held the mic, everyone stood up and gathered in front of the stage. Danny bit the drums and cymbals while their bass guitarist, Bass strummed the strings. Apple started swaying her hips and nodding her head to the rhythm. Maria started stomping her legs.Let's go girlsCome on!I'm goin' out tonight, I'm feelin' alrightGonna let it all hang out..."She's very good!"

Maid At Home Chapter 49: The Houston's Enemies
The woman in Benjamin's bed got up right away. She took her coat on the floor and her heels on the doorstep. She just brushed her hair with her fingers. She glanced at Benjamin who was in his robe sitting elegantly on the sofa not minding about her business."Sweety, I am leaving now!" the woman bade him a flying kiss but she was just about to turn around and leave when Enrique swung the door open."Uncle! What the h*ck? Who's this?" he exclaimed in both shock and disappointment."D*mn it! Next time, move fast. Oh, there's no more next time. Get out!" Benjamin harshly got up and shoved the woman out."Hey! Stop pushing me, a*shole. Is this your nephew? Oh! He's handsome!" the woman started caressing Enrique's chest which made him feel disgusted. He pushed her away as he glared at her."Wow! Like uncle like nephew. Hmp! Don't you know, your uncle has been screwing me and cheating your aunt for three months now!" the woman even uttered ignoring Benjamin's warn

"Have a seat, President Michaels!" Enrique gestured Albert to sit on the couch but the latter stood straight and slowly walked past him instead.He went towards the floor to ceiling glass window and slid the curtain with his fingers. He peeped through it then also shifted his stare at Enrique."Why are you so interested in her?" he started without taking his orbs off him."Coz, she's beautiful!" Enrique casually replied.This time Albert walked regal towards him, hands in his pockets, light brown eyes ogling on him, and the voice of a powerful family."There are more beautiful women who hopped in your bed for the past six years but you never have this too much heed and grip on them!"He circled around Enrique like he was his subordinate but the latter with equal power, just gave him a wry smile."You mobilized your secret men to watch over her 24 hours 7 times a week. You left your suave dandy life in Ireland to be closed to her here. You appear in
Maid At Home Chapter 51: The Day Had Come
It was Saturday and it's in the mid of May. It was also the first rain of the month. Samantha couldn't take a day off for Laila hadn't come back yet.Fe had to call Maria to give her a heads up. When she dialed their land phone, a beautiful voice greeted her call."Maria, is that you? Wow, you're practicing well. Your voice is getting better and better!""Hello! This isn't Maria. I'm Isabella, her ... niece!" a sweet gentle tone replied.Fe was flabbergasted. She checked the number she dialed thinking she might made a mistake."The same!" she thought."Are you looking for her? Wait a second, I will just call her!"She was about to answer but Isabella already put the receiver on the table. Fe could hear Maria's voice on the background. She was rushing in."Hello, sister-in-law! We need to see each other now. Come here, quick. Don't tell Sam!" she whispered as she glanced around.She heaved a sigh when she saw that Isabella settled in their
Maid At Home Chapter 52: Hide and Conceal
"Do you have any plans for today?" Albert started the bizzare talks.He was cutting the clubhouse sandwich with a bread knife while talking to her."I don't have, Young Master. Why did you ask?" Samantha replied and asked back.She was not really eating but just stirring the getting cold mushroom soup in her bowl. Albert halted when he saw what she was doing. He lifted his head and stared at her."Open your mouth!" his deep voice made her obey right away.Just by that deep condescending voice, her whole senses would react to follow his words. Unfair she thought! These were hers but why did it seem like they always followed another soul.Upon parting, Albert stuffed the cube of sliced sandwich in her mouth in an instant which made her stun."Chew it!" he commanded.Samantha did as what he told. He was watching her with amusement. He liked how submissive she was."If you don't have any plans, let's go out!" Albert uttered."Where are w
Maid At Home Chapter 53: Keeping Her Closer
That hour after midnight, when the Houston Mansion alerted Enrique about Isabella's situation, he called someone on the phone. That time, he didn't just visit his uncle but he also meet someone in a private room in that person's own bar, the Cymbals.When that someone saw his caller ID, he thought twice of swiping the green icon. After a couple of rings, he finally decided to answer."What on earth brought you to call me, Manager Houston?" he asked with wry smile.He was in his private room in Cymbals. He locked himself inside contemplating on his relationship with Madeline and his feelings with Samantha. He could hear the loud music and the scream of the bar hoppers on the first floor but he was too lazy to check on them."My sister ran away from Ireland and she might be here in the US!" Enrique answered.Albert chuckled."So, what if she ran away? I don't care about your sister!""You don't understand what I mean, Michaels! You maybe don't care a
Maid At Home Chapter 54: The Flashback
"Sir, we have a problem. Fe just called!""What about it? Is it about the company?""No, sir. It's about the twins. Isabella Houston has run away from their home in Ireland!""I have nothing to do with them anymore, Sebastian!""But sir, she's in our place!"Christopher who was reading a book in his imperial room in Millennium Suite in London lifted his head on him and stared deeply at his anxious eyes. He gracefully stood up and walked towards the built-in bookshelf and placed the book properly on its original place."Fate is really playing fire on us, Sebastian!" he uttered as he turned around and tapped the shoulder of his bodyguard who was trembling in fear."Sir, if Isabella is missing, then my daughter is in danger. I can't afford to lose her!" Sebastian replied as he followed Christopher's steps with his worried gaze."Since that incident happened 14 years ago, we have saved and protected one of the Houston's heir. I can't let that happ

..(warning: gruesome incident)"Why are you doing this?" he asked with his eyes wide open still in doubt if he heard Benjamin wrong."Obey us first, Michaels if you want us to spare your heir's life!" Lance uttered instead.Christopher's shoulders fell. His eyes showed defeat. His son's life was in danger. He didn't want to stain his hands with blood from the innocent four year old's life but he had no choice."What about my wife?" he then remembered.Hopefully, they didn't include her in this deadly bait. She was already suffering from her illness that consumed her life few years later."Don't worry, we know her life is already in thin line. She's in your bed, sleeping quietly!" Benjamin replied with a smirk.Even that they knew he thought. These people whom he never thought would become his enemies for a lifetime, indeed prepared everything. The illness of Christopher's first wife was unknown to everyone especially in the world of com

Maid At Home Chapter 155: Till Death Do Us Part
In a high-end restaurant in the heart of the city, two beautiful single moms were going to talk to clear a slate. They were both calm, grace, and dignified."You will always be my sister-in-law no matter what!" Liz sincerely told Samantha while the latter still felt embarrassed that she was one of those narrow-minded people who believed something was going on between them with her ex-husband."I'm sorry. I don't know what to say!" all she could say was this.But her actions spoke a lot of meaningful words she couldn't express in sentences."It's all right. It happens to people. And we are not exempted!" Liz just shook her head as she gave Samantha a genuine smile.Samantha left a light chuckle with her phrase and just like her, she also shook her head."Yeah! We are not exempted!" she repeated."So, when will you two get back together? Tristan is at his age to have a sibling. He's already almost ten!" she channeled their talks to another topic when they were done clearing things out."
Maid At Home Chapter 154: Enrique's Wedding
"Albert is in Ireland now? Is that true?" Candice who had overseas photoshoots for months was surprised when Grace told her about what happened three months ago.She who never liked to watch nor read the news was really ignorant when it came to those current events but when it was all about fashion, she was number one!"Yes, Miss Candice. The hospital here transferred him to Houston Medical Hospital two weeks ago!" Grace sternly uttered."But why? The hospitals here are also good!" Candice still insisted on digging for more information about him."It was Dr. Houston's command!" Grace still casually replied though deep inside she would like to yell at her saying 'Stop wasting my time! Just fly to Ireland if you want!'"Okay, thanks for the info. Bye!" Candice told her in haste before she strode towards the lift.Inside the lift, she called her manager right away."Get me a ticket going to Ireland tonight. I need to see Albert!""Okay, right away!" her manager obeyed at once..After abo

"Sam, Isabella told me to come here to help you today and tomorrow. How's Young Master?" Laila was speaking to her as she opened the door while she strode to Albert's VIP Ward.However, she also halted in the middle and her exciting orbs went open as she saw who were Albert's visitors at that time.The four including Albert's doctor glanced in her direction and smiled. Laila would like to turn around and run away for a while but her flat shoes were nailed to the floor."Laila, right?" one of the doctors asked as he sauntered toward her.She just gawked at him. She couldn't believe she had just eaten her tongue. She flickered her eyes and tried to speak, but she staggered in her voice."Yes, dictor...I mean doc...tor...!" she shut her eyes for a moment while shaking her head. Then she composed herself and spoke again."Yes, Doctor Arnolds!" Laila finally uttered...without looking at him. Her eyes glanced around instead."Beautiful name...Like the owner!" Sean commented before he went ou

Earlier...When Albert saw the group of policemen about one kilometer away waiting for them, he did his best to draw Madeline's attention to something else while removing the cloth that was wrapped around his wrists."Why are you doing all of these? What happened to you?""What happened to me? It was you who made me this way. If you didn't cancel our wedding before, we're supposed to be husband and wife now, and maybe, we're supposed to have children now!" she yelled as her glare was burning his eyes."But you feel disgusted by me. Since that monster kidnapped me, you never talked to me again. You avoided me like I was a plague!" she kept on releasing everything that's been keeping her bottled up for too long."Then you suddenly fell in love with a servant? How dare you, Albert?" her fantasy was making her blind but Albert never really listened to her prattles."What's your plan on me now?" he asked as he sneered.Finally, he loosed the cloth. He sideglanced at Rona whose eyes were shu

"Grace, could you get me the reviewed documents from Houston Group? The one I approved yesterday!" Albert called Grace on his intercom but to his surprise, she didn't answer."Grace, the contract from Houston!" he repeated but still it was dead air."Maybe she went to the restroom!" he whispered as he walked out of his office to get the documents himself.But to his shock, he saw Grace lying unconsciously on the cold marbled floor. He was about to call 911 when somebody just hit him on his head. He irked in pain but he didn't lose his consciousness. As he turned around while holding his head that was hit, he squinted his eyes when he saw a sneering Katie appearance but he knew that was Madeline."You?" he exclaimed but even before he could push the alarm button, he received another hit that was stronger than the first. This time, he had lost his consciousness.Simon carried him back inside his office while Madeline followed. However, an employee who happened to pass by saw a glimpse of

She released an evil laugh while staring at the headline that bannered their glorious names:'Madeline Swan, Wanted! Lance Swan Captures!'She laughed at the authorities who always failed to arrest her.She laughed at Houston's men who were waiting for her arrival.Above all, she laughed at Albert and the Michaels for not sensing her closeness in their visibility."St*pid powerful people!" she aggravatingly snorted.She was holding a red wine while sitting on their usual white Italian leather couch.Where?In an originally breathtaking place that became a haunted house.Indeed, Lance helped her escape and fooled the authorities that she was going to Ireland. Her father prepared her hideout once again. But this time, no one would even think she went back to the city of opportunities, to that penthouse where two wanted criminals were killed more than two years ago. The one was killed by her."Miss Swan, they all thought you're in Ireland now!" Simon grinned.He was pouring Madeline a gla

"Even if you will kill me, I would never tell you where my daughter is. She deserves to do those things after everything that happened to her!" Lance Swan shouted at length in a wild, impassioned way."Congratulations, President Lance! You've just admitted you know where your daughter is!" Jake spoke in a contemptuous manner rather.The police station where Vanessa and Jake were assigned immediately arrested Lance Swan when Vanessa called that day.When the doctor in Maui nodded that it was Lance who ordered them to make Cheska's condition worst, she instructed her team to arrest him right away."I'm gonna be behind bars anyway. But I'm not going to tell you where my daughter is!" Lance firmly told him.Jake slowly leaned on the chair glaring at him while his fingers were rhythmically tapping the table. Just one more he thought. He might give this middle-aged man a knuckle sandwich.They were both startled when Vanessa opened the door and announced."Good news! The eel is in Ireland!"

At dinner, Albert brought Candice to a western diner. Her favorite. When the waiter arrived, he ordered almost all of her favorite food such as beefy casserole, cheesy turkey broccoli pasta, and biscuit topped chicken pot pie. He also ordered some dessert and a glass of red wine."Thanks for accepting my invitation, Albert. Even if our relationship is just a sham, at least you're still gentleman enough not to decline!" Candice shyly told him while she tucked some strands of her hair behind her earlobe.But Albert was way too busy glancing around while his hands were clasped on the table. As much as possible he didn't want to see Candice anymore since the latter started showing some interest in him."Ahm! I always love beefy casserole. Here, try some!"She stuffed a cube of meat in his mouth and because it was sudden he wasn't able to shun it. He reluctantly chewed the food while frowning at her."It's delicious, right? Oh, there's a sauce left at the corner of your lips!" She even took
Maid At Home Chapter 147: He Finally Found Her
In Maui Medical Hospital...Chester was staring at her weak pale face while his hand was gently brushing her hair. She was still unconscious but the doctor said, her condition was getting better.He gritted his teeth everytime he remembered what the doctor told them. He had been violated not just once. Based from the findings of a single pubic hair they saw on her thigh when the swat team saw her in the big empty house, the owner was Simon Flord."I'm gonna kill you, bastard!" he muttered while staring at her.He had been looking for Cheska since she suddenly left more than two years ago. He tried to call her but her phone was disconnected. He thought she intentionally cut ties with him so after months of trying, he finally gave up.When he heard a soft moan, he sat straight as he moved closer."Cheska!" he gently called her name.His blurry eyes were glued on her pallid face. He touched his cheek while his other hand clasped her hand with an IV dr
