The next morning

My eyes opened to the loud splash of water from outside my window. I could guess it was Mr Cross having a nice time at the pool.

I pulled the duvet off me as I sat up, yawning and stretching. I heaved a loud sigh and slouched as I remembered what happened last night.

I wasn’t sure how to face him, but I knew I had to. ‘Maybe I should just pretend like nothing happened.’

I breathed out deeply and looked at my bedside table where the digital clock and my phone were. It was eight a.m.

Reaching for my phone, I checked my school timetable and realized I had no classes. ‘A day at home sounds great right now.’ I thought. I didn’t want to see Charles, not after what happened yesterday.

Just then, I recalled that he had texted me last night but I was so mad at myself to check his messages. I clicked on my iMessage and to my greatest surprise, there were twenty-two messages from him.

“What the hell?” I muttered as I began to read through his message

    ~Ethan~“Ding dong!!” The doorbell rang. I took a quick look at my wristwatch as I stood up to get it. It was 7 pm, and I knew it was John. He was ready for our outing tonight.“I’m coming,” I uttered as I approached the door. Opening the door, I was met by his wide-ass grin. “I can’t wait to party tonight! It’s been ages!” He said as he walked into the house.He was right about that. The last time we had fun was the night of the auction. We have been so busy since then.“So, what are we waiting for?” He asked enthusiastically, spreading out his arms.“Erm… I forgot to mention this to you over the phone, but… Mia would be joining us.” I responded and his eyes widened. “Are you serious?” He let out another wide grin. “That is even better!!” He exclaimed in a low tone, giggling softly. I shook my head and stood akimbo, waiting for her to walk down the stairs.“She told me she needed a few more minutes,” I uttered, and I heard him chuckle again. “Women. I’m not surprised.” Just then,

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   My First Kiss

    ~Mia~ My eyes opened to the ray of sunlight that seeped in from my windows. Letting out a soft moan, I stretched under my duvet and when I opened my eyes again, I felt some slight banging in my head.“Argh.” I moaned softly as I yanked the duvet off me and got out of bed. As usual, I could hear the splashes from outside my window– Mr Cross was busy having his morning moments at the pool.Dragging my feet on the floor, I moved closer to the window and peaked out. He was about to dive into the water again. My head was instantly filled with memories of the previous night, which made a wide smile curl up my lips. Though I was drunk, I could still recall how things went down. How he carried me like a child from the bar, how he carried me into his car and out when we got back home, how he carried me up the stairs into the bedroom, while I rested my head on his chest, enjoying how his strong arms felt around me.I remembered vividly how he tucked me in and planted a kiss on my forehead– t

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   A Question

    ~Mia~The night of our freshman year party was finally here, and I couldn’t wait to go all out. After the incident with Mr Cross at the pool, things— or would I just say, we haven’t been the same anymore. Sienna has been visiting constantly and they seem to be on good terms. She apologized for not being available on the day of the proposal and he just accepted. I guess that’s what happens when you think you don’t have a choice in certain things—-which I pretty much understand. I have been trying as much as possible to stay away from him. We haven’t had a moment to talk because… I don’t want to talk to him the way I used to. I realized I needed to keep my feelings in check and the best way to do it was to ignore him. Fortunately, he’s been on the same path, I guess, because apart from eating my food, he did nothing else when it came to me— which is good. After all, I have to stop feeling whatever I’m feeling for him and he has made it so much easier. I opened my closet and my eyes

    ~Ethan~ I had to quickly put that dress in front of her door before Sienna arrived, just in time for the party. But she refused to wear it? Why?? ‘Didn’t she like it? Was it too tight?’ I thought— my mind wandered off even though Sienna was talking to me about where and when she would want the next proposal to be. “Excuse me,” I blurted out and stood up. “I need to use the bathroom,” I added as I took long strides towards the stairs. “Why do you have to go up when you can use the one down here?” Sienna asked, but I completely ignored her and ran up the stairs. I raced to my room, stormed in, and ran straight to my window. Panting hard, I held onto the window as I watched Mia walk over to Charles, who had a bouquet in his hand. My brows raised as I saw him embrace her tightly. The connection between them didn’t seem like the usual friendship I had always known. The way they conversed, their outfits— there was more. I could feel it, and I didn’t like it. I clenched my jaws st

    ~Ethan~ My tires screeched as I abruptly pulled up in front of the school gate. With a sharp flick, I turned off my engine and slid out of my car. I took hasty and long strides towards the gate, yanking it open in a hurry. I stood in the middle of the school compound, my gaze running through the building as I looked for where the party was taking place. Just then, I heard faint music from the back of one of the tall buildings, and from its side, I could see blue and red lights. ‘There!’ I ran towards the direction of the music, running through the road that led to the back, and there the building was. There were numerous students in front. Some were drinking, some were laughing and chatting and some were making out. As I made my way through them, I could feel their gazes on me. “Wow! Who is he?” “He looks pretty pissed.” “He’s so handsome!” “More like a sugar daddy!” The ladies squealed, but I care less about them. “Mia!” I yelled as I burst into the building. I looked around a

    ~Mia~ “Hmm…” I squinted, slowly releasing the tension in my eyes. As they fluttered open, the sunlight streaming in hit me, sending a sharp jolt of pain through my head.“Argh,” I muttered, clutching my head as I struggled to sit up. My head felt like a weight my neck could barely hold, and my body seemed unfamiliar, almost foreign.Glancing around my room, I took in the sight of my pajamas. Something flickered in my memory, but it didn’t match what I was seeing now.I let out a low groan, trying to piece it together. The party. I’d been dancing, drinking... and then, I ended up in the bathroom.I leaned over to my bedside table, grabbing my phone, still plugged into its charger. Oddly, I couldn’t remember connecting it. “When did I even get home?” I muttered to myself.I switched on my internet connection, and almost instantly, my phone buzzed and vibrated non-stop. Notifications and messages poured in like a flood, but I only had my eyes set on one thing—messages from Charles.To m

    ~Mia~I’d just finished getting ready for school and was rushing to leave the house, my mind spinning with fragmented thoughts about what might’ve gone down between me and Mr. Cross.My memories were scattered, like a puzzle missing crucial pieces, and I was desperate to piece it together. What exactly had he done?“He warned me about someone taking advantage of me, only to do the same thing?” I muttered bitterly, grabbing my tote bag. Before stepping out, I took a quick look in the mirror.An ironed shirt tucked into black trousers cinched at the waist with a belt, paired with simple flats—I looked polished enough. I’d left my hair loose, hoping it would distract from the dark circles under my eyes. Still, the hangover clung to me like a shadow.As I shut my door, I heard Mr. Cross’s door close too. Our eyes locked, and my stomach churned. His gaze seemed to pull fragments of memory from the depths of my mind—the bathtub, his voice, the confusion.I wasn’t ready to confront him. Not

    ~Ethan~ John burst into my office, phone clutched tightly in his hand. "Ethan! Ethan!" he shouted, his voice brimming with excitement. I looked up from my laptop, curiosity piqued."Can you stop yelling?" I muttered, my tone barely masking my annoyance. "I'm trying to focus here.""Oh, come on, forget work for a minute," he shot back, plopping into the chair across from me. A sly grin spread across his face. "Guess who's about to go on a date?"I slowly lifted my head, eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What are you on about? You’ve got a woman now?" I asked, my gaze shifting to the phone he eagerly held out."Darla," he declared, turning the screen toward me. "Met her on Tinder. She's absolutely perfect, mate. Just moved into town. We've been chatting for weeks, and guess what? She wants to meet up. I’ve got a date tomorrow night!""I see, that’s good," I said, forcing a smile to seem supportive. Truth be told, I wasn’t really interested. Listening to him gush about his newfound roman

    ~John~I drove to Darla’s house, and as I pulled up to the location, my brows furrowed in confusion. ‘Why does this place look so awkwardly familiar if it’s my first time here?’ I wondered, turning off the engine.Reaching for my phone, I was about to text her when I heard the creak of the gate. Looking up, I saw Darla step out of the compound.“So, I wasn’t imagining things,” I muttered, setting my phone aside as a wide grin spread across my face. “Hey,” I greeted, opening my door and stepping out.“Hey.” Her voice was soft, her lips curling into a faint smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. Something felt...off. I opened my arms, pulling her into a tight embrace, my gaze drifting back to the house.“Are you alright?” I asked as she sniffled, nodding against my chest. Pulling back slightly, I looked into her face. “Why does your house look so familiar?”She sighed heavily, her head dropping. “Because...you probably know this house,” she muttered, swallowing hard.“What do you mean?

    ~Mia~As Ethan and I sat cuddled on the couch in the living room, the sound of the door opening and closing caught our attention. We turned to look, and to our utter shock, it was Mrs. Cross.I quickly jumped to my feet, stepping away from Ethan, my heart pounding as she walked toward us, her eyes locked on me.“Mum, you didn’t mention you were coming,” Ethan said calmly, standing up as well.“Well, I needed to see things for myself,” she replied with a sigh, settling onto one of the armchairs. Ethan stepped closer to me, lacing his fingers with mine. I glanced at him in disbelief.“I knew if I told you I was coming, you two would try to put on an act,” she added.“Mother, we…” Ethan began, but she quickly interrupted.“Let me finish first, okay?” she said gently, gesturing to the couch opposite her. “Please, sit.”Ethan and I exchanged a wary look before doing as she asked.With a deep breath, she continued, “I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I’ve realized how self-centered I’ve

    ~Ethan~I pulled up outside Alexa’s clubhouse and stepped out of the car. Taking long strides, I circled to the passenger side and opened the door for Mia.“Thank you,” she said shyly as she stepped out.“You don’t have to thank me for that.” I took her hand in mine, shutting the door behind us. “It’s just what I’m supposed to do.”We walked toward the entrance together, and I could see the unease etched on Mia’s face. It wasn’t hard to understand why. She hadn’t seen her aunt since the day she’d been sold off, and now that same aunt was sick and planning to sell off Mia’s parents’ properties? It was too much for anyone to process.Inside the club, the daytime atmosphere felt muted compared to its usual liveliness. A few workers were scattered about: the bartender, a couple of the girls, and the cleaners prepping for the night.Mia led the way to her aunt’s office, but before we could reach the door, a voice called out from behind us.“Mia?”We stopped and turned.

    ~Mia~After a week of exams..."Arrghhh! I’m so glad to finally be done! Now I can enjoy life like never before!" Sharon exclaimed, throwing her arms around my shoulders with glee.I chuckled lightly, nodding. “Same,” I replied, though my tone was far less enthusiastic than hers. “But I’m not happy because I have more time for fun,” I muttered under my breath, my thoughts inevitably returning to Aunt Alexa and the malicious schemes she had for my parents’ estate.Sharon’s expression softened as she looked at me. “Is Charles still giving you trouble?” she asked, concern written all over her face.I shook my head. “No. I’ve made my peace with him facing the consequences of his actions,” I said.“Good,” Sharon said sharply. “He nearly killed Mr. Cross and ran that disgusting anonymous account to ruin your reputation. He’s a lowlife who deserves to rot in prison.”I raised an eyebrow, caught off guard by her bluntness.“Well… maybe not rot, but a few years wouldn’t hurt,” she stammered, h

    ~Sienna~ I paced back and forth in my room, my eyes locked on the pictures on John’s Instagram story. It was from the annual charity gala Ethan and I were supposed to attend together, yet now, he was there with *her*—that maid!“Ugh, he has no taste whatsoever!” I shouted, frustration bubbling over. The thought of him parading around with her at such an event, embarrassing me like this, was infuriating.That girl has done enough. It's time to end this for good. I paused, dialing Mrs. Cross’s number. I needed her to remind me where her loyalties lay—she had been acting too comfortable lately. As the phone rang, I resumed my pacing, waiting for her to pick up. When she finally answered, I stopped in my tracks.“Mrs. Cross?” My voice quivered, on the verge of breaking. “Sienna, darling, how are you?” she replied sweetly. I sniffed, trying to hold back the tears. “I’m not okay, Mom. Ethan went to the gala with that maid. It was supposed to be the two of us,” I mumbled, sniffling harde

    ~Mia~ I stood in front of the mirror, eyes fixed on my reflection. I was wearing a sleek black silk dress with tiny straps, the one Ethan had gifted me. Around my neck, the necklace he gave me shimmered, and a dainty watch rested on my wrist, right above my black cotten glove.On the other side of the room, Ethan stood in front of the closet, busy getting dressed as well. We were getting ready for the Charity Gala he’d been invited to, and he’d asked me to accompany him as his date.“Baby, can you help me with my watch?” Ethan called out, and I turned toward him. A soft smile spread across my face as he walked toward me and extended his hand.“Why are you smiling?” he asked, his grin playful as he gazed at me.I shrugged lightly. “I… I don’t know,” I stammered, “This… this feels cute. It’s like we’re a couple,” I added shyly, fastening his watch around his wrist.He chuckled. “Like a couple? We are a couple already, babe.

    ~Alexa~"Get Dina here, now!" I shouted, my frustration echoing through the office. One of the girls quickly bolted to fetch her. My account book sat on the desk in front of me, glaring back like an unwelcome reminder.Dina was the club's newest stripper, and in her first week, she was a star—pulling in over $500 a night and earning the title of my favorite. But now? Her nightly earnings had plummeted to less than $100.The door creaked open, and Dina stepped in, dressed for the night."You called for me, Alexa?" she asked, her tone cautious.I grabbed the account book and flung it toward her. She caught it just before it hit the ground. "What the hell is going on? Look at this! Your numbers have tanked! Are you stealing from me?" I demanded, my voice laced with fury.Her eyes widened in shock. "What? No, Alexa! I’d never do that!""Then explain this!" I snapped. "Why aren’t you earning like you used to? What’s the excuse? Your knees giving out or something?"Dina shook her head, "Tha

I adjusted my suit and shirt, my heart pounded with nervous anticipation as I approached the entrance.Pushing the door open, I paused for a moment, my eyes sweeping across the restaurant in search of her. And then, there she was—seated in a cozy corner.She spotted me and waved, her face glowing with a cheerful grin. A broad smile spread across my own face as I made my way toward her.I approached the table and set the bouquet on it. She stood, greeting me with a warm hug and a light kiss on the cheek.“Finally,” she said, her voice brimming with excitement as she sat down again.“Right.” I chuckled. “Finally. I’m so sorry you had to wait this long.” Sitting down, I picked up the bouquet and extended it to her. “These are for you.”She accepted it with a soft smile, bringing the flowers to her nose for a gentle sniff. “This is so sweet of you,” she murmured, closing her eyes as i

    ~Mia~“Won’t you go back to her?” I whispered as I manage to break the kiss and catch my breath. He heaved a loud sigh, his hand moving slowly under my shirt, right on top of my nipple. “I will, but I don’t want to move away from you.” he muttered, resting his forehead on mine. I was still pinned to the wall and my hands were held up high, above my head with one of his hands, while the other explored my warm, perky peaks. “You have to or she will cause another problem.” I responded sadly, “I don’t think I want to deal with her anymore, Ethan.” “You wouldn’t have to.” He responded, slowly releasing his grip on my hands and they fell to my side. I could feel slight pain in my shoulders, but I didn’t care about it. “She wouldn’t bother you anymore. I am working on a plan to end things with her for good.” He said, and my face instantly lit up.“Really?” My voice etched with hope. “Hmmm,” he nodded. “I just need a little more time.
