Alice Collins had always wished she could provide a comfortable life for her mother and two younger sisters, as the four girls had been through great financial difficulties since their parents' separation. So, when she turned eighteen, Alice decided to try her luck in another country. Determined to take the risk, she moved to Los Angeles, aiming for one goal: to do everything possible to help her family. But, as not everything was easy, especially when finding herself in a country where she knew nothing, Alice faced challenges that made her feel an immense desire to give up and return home defeated. However, as a divine miracle, an opportunity arose for her to work as a maid in the Scott family's house. Years went by, and Alice became beloved by that family. Her salary even increased, giving her the chance to pay for an arts college scholarship. Everything seemed perfect, but she didn't imagine that there would be someone in that family, who had not visited for years, who would awaken the most intense feelings in her. Upon meeting her boss's son, Joshua Scott, a strikingly intriguing and sexy man, owner of one of the biggest cosmetics companies in London and with a reputation for being a womanizer, Alice found herself wondering if it was worth paying the price of falling in love.

Prologue

To tell the truth... I've never stopped to think about what my future would be like exactly, whether I would be working in something cool, building a family, or having a successful career. Not that I was someone without dreams, plans, or goals. What I mean is that, unlike other people who wished to focus exclusively on themselves, I wasn't like that. On the contrary, what I most desired was to be able to give a comfortable life to my mother and my two younger sisters. Since my parents separated, the four of us have gone through great financial difficulties, to the point of having to leave London and move to my mother's home country. I confess that leaving the life I had in England in my adolescence was a very difficult decision for me because starting in a new place completely different from what I was used to was a very strong reality shock. But I had no choice. Either I moved to Brazil or I would have to live with my father, who unfortunately was not a faithful man, even though he ha

01 - My Boss's Son

"Alice? Alice!" My boss called my name, trying to regain my attention. I looked at him, a bit spacey. My gaze was focused on him, but my thoughts were elsewhere. "Did you hear what I said?" "What?" I was completely distracted. "Huh... Yeah..." I closed my eyes slightly, trying to recall his words. Without success. The only thing I could remember had to do with Mr. Scott's son and nothing else. "Alice?" He frowned, looking at me suspiciously. "Sorry." I lowered my gaze and stared at my well-worn sneakers. I heard a sigh escape Mr. Scott, and my heart started beating faster. At that moment, I expected a scolding from him, the biggest one yet, since I had been very inattentive lately. "My eldest son will be arriving from London today." I quickly moved my head to look at him again. I didn't show any change in my facial expression, as I didn't know how to react. I thought I would receive another scolding from him, and maybe the last one. After processing the context, I became curio

02 - Will I be able to face him after that?

I descend from the upper floor, still in ecstasy. The scene kept replaying in my head. I couldn't measure the level of shame I felt. Why did I have to find him like that, and just at the first time I see him? And to think that I'm having an internal meltdown just from seeing him in a towel, imagine if he had nothing on, I could be having a heart attack now. I close my eyes for a few moments and shake my head, trying to chase away those thoughts. I descend the last steps of the stairs and make my way to the kitchen. I see one of the oldest cooks in the house rummaging through the shopping bags I had placed on the counter. "Betty!" I say her name loudly to startle her. "What are you still doing here?" "Jesus!" she turns automatically, hand on her chest, giving me a dirty look and shaking her head. "One day you'll kill me!" she says and I end up letting out a laugh and going towards her to hug her. Betty was like a mother to me. She had been by my side since I started working in Mr.

03 - News in Los Angeles

Joshua Scott "I... I’ll be back later!" I hear her shout from the other side of the door. I hear footsteps until she reaches the exit of the room, but they suddenly stop. Curious, I leave the bathroom to understand what was happening, but not before making sure my hip was well covered by the towel. Entering the room, I see the blonde looking at me with wide eyes. It was as if she had never seen a man in just a towel in her entire life. "I-I'll clean your room later," she says startlely. Does she work here? Inevitably, I observe her from head to toe, surprised that a woman her age is working in my parents' house. Currently, all employees were older. "Do you work here?" "Yes, for almost five years now." "How did I not know about you?" I end up commenting out loud. But now I understood why I didn't remember her. She came after I left. But still, it was curious that my parents would hire a young woman after what happened... "What do you mean?" She looks at me briefly as she picks

04 - F*cking arrogant!

I watched all that confusion without knowing what to do. The right thing to do would be to stay quiet and not get involved in any problems, but since it was someone I knew, being the son of my boss, it was as if, for a brief moment, I felt responsible for checking if he was okay or if he needed help. "Do you know them?" Zoe's question pulled my attention, and I looked at her with raised eyebrows. "No..." My vision shifted to Joshua making his way to the bar's exit. "I..." Before I could finish, I stood up from the chair and grabbed my purse, walking towards the exit of the place. "Hey! Where are you going?" I heard Zoe ask, but I ignored her and continued my steps until I left the bar. I didn't exactly have an explanation for why I was going after Mr. Scott's son, besides wanting to offer help. And also, I was a little curious. The guy had just arrived in town and was already in trouble. "Hey!" I said in a slightly loud tone, enough for him to hear me. Joshua stopped in his trac

05 - 'Strawberry-scented star'

Joshua Scott I drove back home. Throughout the way, my thoughts felt like they were going to explode my head. Even in Los Angeles, where I thought I could have some peace, it was able to make me relive the past. Everything reminded me of her. And even though I didn't want to, something or someone, like Marcel, for example, made it happen. And I was already tired of it. I urgently needed something or someone to occupy my mind. "Alice?" I heard Betty's voice as soon as I entered the house. "Oh. Joshua." She smiled. "Are you back already?" "It's a bit late and... I'm a bit tired." I smiled weakly. "I understand..." "Where's Alice?" my father approached. "She needs to lock the back gate." he said. "A-Alice?" Betty spoke sounding frightened. "She... she's sleeping. She... said she was quite exhausted, so... I let her go." Her nervous smile could be perceived from afar. "But - emphasized. "I'll lock it. Don't worry." She affirmed and then left the room. I chuckled when I realized her

06 - How did I end up here?

I felt something burning against the right side of my face. I squeezed my eyes shut and automatically turned to the other side of the bed, trying to make that flash of light go away from my face. My head was almost exploding. I had the result of a whole night of drinking, which I realized was painful the next day. I tried to open my eyes, but it felt like blades were being shoved into them every time I tried. I was feeling sick. And that same pain in my stomach remained. Had I consumed an excessive amount of alcohol and was going to die? At that moment, while I was drinking with Suzy, it didn't seem like I had already gone past the second glass, I only realized it when I had already gone past the sixth. I was definitely lost. Working with a hangover, and now what? No one could know about my wrongdoing. Not even Betty. I would have to find a way to hide and be as discreet as possible. I sat on the bed and felt my head weigh like a bowling ball. I ran my hand through my hair and observ

07 - Old friends

Alice Collins I poured the coffee into one of the cups and picked it up with my hands. I took a sip of the dark liquid, being careful not to burn my mouth. I stared at the kitchen counter, beginning a process of reminiscing about past subjects. It had been three years since I was in Los Angeles, having a good time away from my mother and younger sisters. But those years did not prevent me from keeping in touch with them. Whenever I could, I talked to my mother via video call. My sisters were growing up more and more. Sometimes I felt bad for not being present in their growing up phase. I always wondered why my mother didn't want to come and live here in Los Angeles. Perhaps it would be easier for her and my sisters. She could find a good-paying job, and the girls could have a good education. Maybe she thought it would be a bother since I practically lived in Mr. Scott's house. But the last time we spoke, my mother promised me that even though she couldn't come here, she would let my

08 - The proposal

So, does that mean Joshua had relations with every girl who worked at his house? That explains his surprised tone when he met me. I can't believe I could have easily been a target. In fact, I was a target of Jack. Did he really want to use me to show off that he was better than Joshua? How childish! "What are you doing there?" I freeze at the sound of Joshua's voice. Clearly, my attempt to hide behind a plant pot didn't work out very well, even though it was big. After being discovered, I come up with an excuse. "I was cleaning." I hear Joshua laugh through his nose, disbelieving. "Did you hear our conversation?" I let out a sigh and remain behind the plant pot. "Look, I know what you might be thinking about what you heard. But that's just Jack being stupid. What happened was a long time ago. It won't happen again." But I don't know if I liked hearing that, because unbelievably, a part of me would like to be desired by a guy as sexy as him, even knowing it could just be a flin

09 - Welcome to London!

After hours of travel, we finally landed on British soil. The day was dawning in London. Traveling with Joshua was a tranquil experience, as we barely saw each other inside the Jet. He had work to do, which forced him to look for an exclusive space for himself, and thus, we didn't have to exchange any contact. And I took advantage of the trip to sleep, as I had been awake almost all night. Joshua's private driver was going to take us to his apartment, a bit far from the city center, as Joshua said that the further away, the more magnificent the view would be. After a few more minutes of travel, the car stops in front of a building with almost countless floors. The entrance was decorated with artificial grass and reflectors that harmoniously illuminated the place. I get out of the car, right after Joshua, and follow him into the building, heading towards the elevator. Upon entering, Joshua types in the top floor, which momentarily surprises me, but after remembering the jet, the pent
