last update Last Updated: 2023-12-03 20:50:25

I walked into the mansion no longer a maid but the house master's wife, Cameron and I had our marriage registered today he wanted it low-key without inviting anybody, not even his family. They wouldn't have come anyway, although against our union Gina had no choice but to accept me into her home, actually the house is Cameron's but he threatened to move out if she gave no peace and that was the last we heard of her rant.

The maids eyed me in envy as I passed them. I returned alone, Cameron said he had some unfinished business in the office and told me not to wait up, it hurt to have him do this on our wedding night when we should be on a honey moon instead but everything about our marriage was transactional I doubt he even sees me as his wife. 

"How did a woman like you manage to snag my brother?" My path was blocked by Blair, she had her arms crossed and wore a mean girl look.

"Alcohol?" That was the only thing I could think of, perhaps if Cameron wasn't wasted that night he would've never looked my way. 

She eyed me from head to toe and said, "of course you must have seduced him when he was drunk hoping to get pregnant."

Her words did not come to me as a shock, I expected this much. "Are you done? Step aside so I can pass." The only thing I wanted to do right now was cuddle with my babies. Cameron hired a nanny to watch over them in our absence, but there's something about leaving my babies with a stranger that makes me feel uneasy. 

Blair trailed forward and slapped me square across the face in the blink of an eye. My cheek stung from the impact and a stray tear slid down, she retracted her fingers satisfied then leaned to whisper in my ears, "you might be his wife on paper but in this mansion you will forever remain a maid and don't you dare go talking to my brother, I can make him file for a divorce overnight. He doesn't trust you any way and he most certainly isn't in love with you." 

It hurt to admit that she was right, Cameron made it clear that if it wasn't for the kids he'd have no business marrying me. "Here." She squeezed something in to my palm, "this is my wedding gift to you, when you're done crying go to the kitchen and fry me two eggs. Don't make me wait for too long." With that said she strolled off. 

I brought the picture to my face, my heart broke when I saw Cameron sitting behind a pool wearing a huge grin with a half naked woman on his lap. I knew right away that it was a recent picture, tears streamed down my face liked a waterfall. Not minding the whispers and stares around I bawled my eyes out like a baby. When I was done I headed for the kitchen to fry two eggs as instructed. Nothing has changed even though we're legally bound together on paper, I'm still a maid during the day and a pornstar at night, I was stupid for thinking anything would.

I was fast asleep when Cameron suddenly barged staggering his way to the bed, one look at him and I could tell he was drunk. Anger flushed through my system, how could he do this on our wedding night? He climbed the bed and trailed his fingers to my waist but I pushed him away.

"You're drunk, you should sleep." I said in a firm tone and he chuckled.

"Wouldn't it be considered a crime to sleep when there's a beautiful woman lying next to me?"

I was completely lost for words, just like that my anger disappeared into the night. Never knew he considered me beautiful, they say a man becomes honest when he's drunk, it must be true. I decided to ask some questions. 

"Apart from the fact that I'm beautiful, what else do you think of me?" 

He appeared to ponder on it for some seconds then opened his mouth to speak, "you have really nice breasts."

I blushed red like a tomato. "Tell me more."

"The first day I saw you in that bar I thought to myself woah she must be a model, a hollywood actress or something."

I burst into a laughing fit, "now you're exaggerating." 

He shook his head, "I'm not I swear, I was shocked when you showed up in front of me the next day as a maid." 

My laughter died down quickly, "and what does that have to do with anything?" 

"Everything." He said in a single breath and I knew he had a story to tell. "You see I had my first crush when I seventeen, she was a maid in our house. We used to sneak around because it was obvious my parents would never approve but we were going to go official when I finally took over the family business.." He suddenly paused and looked up with eyes wet like a puppy's. 

Taking his hand in mine, "It's okay, you can tell me." It must be a painful memory seeing as he was at the brink of tears.

"She cheated on me with my father and even went as far as eloping with him." Immediately he said that I embraced him, in return he held me tightly. 

"You're all the same," he cried, "the moment I become nice to you, you turn around and stab me in the back, you pretend to be poor and miserable but everything you do has a purpose, I'd rather go after a woman who openly wants me for my money unlike pretenders like you."

I understood where he was coming from a place of pain did not pick an offence instead I rubbed his back slowly. He pulled away from the hug staring into my eyes. "If you have any hopes of me falling in love with you I suggest you kil

l it because I will never love a maid again."

    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” She said in a broken tone drawing closer to me but I took a step back.“I was going to tell you truth when everything is settled, believe me Avery I didn’t mean to hurt you this way.”But I couldn’t get myself to believe her a second time, “you were aware that I couldn’t remember anything yet you chose to lie to me.” I felt so betrayed that I couldn’t get myself to look at her, I had my suspicions at first but after she saved me I chose to trust her. I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an

What? Afraid that I’d expose them?”“What lies?” I ask Kylie but she doesn’t respond, there’s a bitter look on her face as she avoids my gaze. It’s clear she’s keeping something from me. “I can explain,” she finally say

No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now.

    I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth?

    Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec
