~Mia~

While I continued cooking, I heard someone enter the kitchen again. I looked back and saw it was Mr Cross. However, the depressed look on his face made me very worried and curious.

“Mr Cross, are you alright?” I asked, and he slowly nodded and let out a very faint smirk. I knew he was lying, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep asking him.

I nodded and looked towards the pot on the fire. “I’ll be done with the second dish soon,” I said to him.

“Great. You should stop after this meal, or we’ll have massive food wastage.”

“Wastage?” I furrowed my brows. “What I have prepared won’t be enough for six to…”

“Just do what I have said, Mia.” He butted in coldly and walked out of the kitchen.

My jaw dropped and my mind went blank for a second. ‘What just happened? What is going on?’ I asked questions in my head. That was the most I could do at that moment.

I did as I was told and after cooking the mushroom sauce, I turned off the gas cooker and kept everything I had prepared wa

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   Apologies

    ~Mia~ 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

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   Tequila

    ~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

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   Friday night

    ~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

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   She’s mine

    ~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

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   Don't worry about me

    ~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

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   What the...

    ~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

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   A night to remember

    ~Mia~ I rummaged through my closet in a hurry, trying to find the perfect outfit for tonight. It had been ages since I’d gone out, so naturally, I was buzzing with excitement.“Jacket…” I murmured, grabbing one of my leather ones and tossing it onto the bed. Then I stood back, hands on my hips, eyeing the closet like it owed me answers.“Now where did I put those tights?” I muttered, diving into the drawers again, pulling things out and tossing them aside.Mid-search, the door creaked open. I leaned out to see who it was.Ethan stepped in, flashing a wide smile. “Hey.”“Hey,” I replied, returning the smile before turning back and plucking a short black bodycon dress from a hanger.I threw it onto the bed next to the jacket just as he came closer.“Someone’s got big plans,” he said, settling onto the bed and watching me with curiosity. “What’s the occasion?”I finally found my tights and tossed them onto the bed with the rest of my outfit. “Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten,” I

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   For Us

    ~Sienna~“Shit… shit,” Bernard groaned as he climaxed.I sighed, rolling my eyes as I shoved him off me.“This is the last time this is ever happening,” I muttered, snatching my clothes off the floor and slipping them on without a second thought.He slid a hand beneath my head, his gaze burning into my back as I dressed. “Why are you so cold about it? Don’t you enjoy it like I do? Or am I just not good enough for you in bed?”I scoffed and shook my head in disgust.“This was never about pleasure. This is a transaction. You handle Mia, do whatever the hell you want with her, but you don’t go near Ethan. He’s mine.” I turned to face him.Bernard smirked. “Well, I haven’t exactly had Mia to myself yet, like you said I would. So until that happens, you keep showing up.”“Oh, don’t worry,” I replied with a smirk of my own as I pulled up my pants. “You’ll have her all to yourself this weekend.”His brows knitted in confusion. “What do you mean?”I turned and met his eyes.“There’s a girls’

    ~John~I sat on the couch in the living room, with Darla lying beside me, her head resting gently on my thighs. “I was honestly so shocked when she approached me,” Darla continued, her hands animated as she spoke. “She’s never come to me like that before, so calm and genuine. Then she said, ‘I know I haven’t been the best sister to you, especially when it comes to your relationship with John.’” She mimicked the voice and I let out a laugh.“Isn’t that a bit odd?” I asked, raising a brow. She nodded.“At first, yeah. Even our parents were caught off guard. But once she started seeing that therapist, we all started to believe she was serious.”I shrugged lightly. “Guess that means I don’t have to kidnap you anymore.”She let out a thoughtful hum and nodded. “Exactly. And now it’s your turn to find time to meet my parents, don’t you think?” she said, lifting her head slightly to look at me.My eyes widened. “Wait, already?”“Well, we need their blessings before they change their minds,”

    ~Mia~Evening crept in faster than I expected, and I’d been completely caught up with making dinner. Once I was done, I headed to the bedroom to freshen up, eager for Ethan to get home so I could share everything about my day.After talking to Sienna, I felt elated, like a heavy weight had finally been lifted off my chest. There was nothing holding us back now. No more secrets, no more tiptoeing around. We were finally free to be with each other, without worrying about anyone's opinion.I stepped out of the shower and slipped into my short, red singlet that barely covered my bum. I was in such a good mood, and I needed him to feel that the moment he saw me.As I pulled my hair into a messy bun, it suddenly hit me, I hadn’t set the wine on the dining table yet. I dashed downstairs to do that, and just as I was placing the bottle down, the doorbell rang.“Speak of the devil,” I chuckled, hurrying over to answer it.When I opened the door, there he was, Ethan. His smile was soft, and as

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   I'm so sorry

    ~Mia~“I was honestly stunned when he told me. I... I was terrified to bring it up with Ethan because I didn’t want it to come off like I was pressuring him into something he wasn’t ready for, you know?” I said into the phone, lying on my bed.“I totally get that,” Sharon replied on the other end. “But I don’t think Mr. Cross would ever see it that way. He knows you’re still young and in college. It’s not like he’d expect you to jump into marriage just like that.”“I know, but it still made me start thinking about us again. Everything feels so messy. Or maybe I’m just spiraling,” I admitted.“That’s exactly it,” Sharon said. “You’re definitely overthinking it. Didn’t he already explain everything?”I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes. “I hate that you’re always right.”She laughed. “What can I say? It’s one of my best qualities.”“Yeah, yeah,” I replied playfully.“Yeah… before I forget the real reason I called. I heard Charles is out,” she said, and I raised my brows.“Yeah,” I exhal

    ~Ethan~I sat on one of the chairs beside the office door, deep in conversation with my police friend about Alexa’s latest schemes, when the door suddenly opened and Mia stepped out.My face lit up the moment I saw her. She offered a smile in return, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. My brows drew together as I rose to my feet.“Hey.” I reached for her hands and gently held them. “How are you? Are you okay?” I asked, concern lacing my voice.She swallowed and forced another smile. “Yeah,” she said with a small nod. “Let’s get out of here.”I nodded, still holding her hand as we walked down the hallway in silence.We didn’t say a word as we exited the building, and once we reached the car, I opened the door for her. She slid in without a word. I closed it softly behind her, then made my way around to the driver’s side.After settling into my seat, I started the engine and pulled out of the parking spot. As we drove, I stole occasional glances at her.Mia sat with her head down, finge

    ~Mia~I slowly blinked my eyes open and let out a yawn. Sunlight streamed through the window, and the soft chirping of birds filled the air.“Good morning, sweetheart,” Ethan greeted with a wide grin as he buttoned up his shirt.A smile spread across my face. “You’re up early,” I mumbled, stifling another yawn. Sitting up, I pulled the duvet over my legs.“Yes. I have an appointment with your parents’ lawyer today,” he said casually.My brows shot up. “You found them?” I asked, stunned.Ethan nodded, his smile widening. Grabbing his tie, he walked over to the bed.“All it took was asking my private investigator to look into it. He got back to me, and I’m meeting with him this morning,” he explained.Without hesitation, I threw off the bedsheet and climbed out of bed. “I need to come with you,” I said urgently, rushing toward the bathroom.Before I could get far, Ethan gently caught my wrist, stopping me in my tracks.“You don’t have to come,” Ethan reasoned. “The appointment is soon,

    ~Sienna~I stepped into the clubhouse, the music blasting so loud it felt like it was rattling my skull. It was uncomfortable as hell, but I didn’t care. I had one goal, and I wasn’t leaving without it.Glancing at my phone screen again, I studied the picture, my eyes scanning the crowded room. ‘Where the fuck is he?’ I thought, frustration bubbling inside me.Just then, a shady-looking guy appeared in front of me. He stood stiff, almost too rigid for a club setting, his dark shades making him look even more suspicious under the dim flashing lights.“You Sienna?” he asked, his voice low and unreadable.He looked nothing like the man in the picture.“Yeah?” I answered cautiously.“Follow me. The boss has been waiting for you.”Without another word, he turned and walked off, expecting me to follow. I scoffed under my breath but trailed behind him anyway.We weaved through the crowd—past the dancers, the drinkers, and even the couples lost in heated makeouts—until we reached a door near

    ~Mia~The car ride to the police station was quiet. I knew Ethan wanted Charles to suffer more for what he had done, but despite his own feelings, he couldn’t ignore what I wanted.“Are you okay?” I asked softly, my hand reaching for his thigh.Ethan glanced at me, then offered a small smile. “Yeah, I am.” He nodded. “Why do you ask?”“You seem deep in thought,” I replied, returning his smile.He arched a brow. “Well, you’re not wrong.” He exhaled. “I can’t shake this uneasy feeling about letting Charles go. We’re finally happy together—what if he does something reckless again? What if he tries to hurt you?”I sighed, understanding his concern. “I get it, baby. But that’s exactly why we’re going to talk to him first. He needs to prove that he’s no longer a threat. And who knows? Maybe he’ll finally reveal who sent him after you in the first place.”Ethan considered my words, then shrugged. “Well, we’re already on our way, aren’t we? Guess that means you win.” He smirked playfully, and
