The Billionaire's Housemaid   Until...
The kiss lingered longer than either of them had anticipated. As they parted, David settled beside Rowan, and an enveloping silence descended upon them, broken only by the rhythmic cadence of their breathing.Minutes passed, marked by the stillness that enveloped them, each breath a reminder of their shared moment. Finally, David gently slipped from the bed, leaning in to press a lingering kiss on Rowan's forehead.Every fiber of his being yearned for this moment to stretch on, to linger in the warmth of their connection. David found himself questioning the source of these newfound emotions, bewildered by his own behavior, akin to that of a newlywed groom.As he withdrew from the tender gesture, his father's words echoed in his mind with unwavering clarity."How can you know you love her when you never give her a chance? From the first day, you've seen her as a sinner. Give her a chance. Take her out for a month, and look at her, treat her differently, as if you've just met."Recallin

Rowan had been lost in recounting memories of her past with David, reminiscing about the innocence of their childhood encounters, until sleep overcame her and she drifted into a deep dream.The abrupt knock on the door startled Rowan from her slumber, and before she could fully comprehend the situation, the door burst open and Flora stormed in.Rage emanated from Flora's every pore as her eyes fell upon the scene before her: Rowan's head nestled on David's chest, his arm wrapped protectively around her.As Flora's fury ignited, Rowan realized the assumptions racing through Flora's mind. With a swift understanding, she slipped from the bed and approached Flora."Let's talk in the kitchen," Rowan suggested, mindful of waking David or allowing him to overhear their conversation."It's not what you think, nothing happened between us," Rowan attempted to explain, but before her words could find purchase, Flora's hand struck her face, leaving Rowan gasping and clutching her stinging cheek.

David hadn't provided any response to Rowan when his parents arrived. Earlier, when David called his father, the elder man was startled upon hearing that Rowan had fallen to the ground. Despite not being in the best health, David's father couldn't stay at home and immediately summoned the driver to take them to David's house. David's mother, though initially hesitant, ended up following her husband."Are you sure you're okay?" David's father repeatedly asked Rowan inside the car as they headed to the hospital."Yes, uncle, I'm fine," Rowan reassured him.Despite the concern, Rowan couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. The fact that everyone was genuinely concerned about her health, including David's mother, was a pleasant surprise. Even though David's mother maintained a hostile demeanor with her constant hissing and frowning, Rowan chose to be grateful for the attention.The old David's mother would have likely left her to fend for herself. Rowan attempted to empathize with h

"Sit, David. Let's have a heart-to-heart, son," David's father beckoned, his voice gentle yet weighted with concern. David sank into the chair, his nerves dancing like wildfire within him.""Don't worry, David. You're safe here," his father comforted, his eyes softening with understanding."Now, tell me what's weighing on your mind. I can sense it, especially with Flora," he encouraged, his gaze piercing through David's facade. David marveled at his father's insight, a blend of admiration and unease knotting in his stomach."Thanks, Dad," David murmured, his voice trembling with emotion."For what?" his father inquired, curiosity flickering in his eyes."For being there, for being Dad," David choked out, a chill creeping down his spine as he wondered what his father knew about Flora's misdeeds, yet chose to keep silent.His father didn't need to ask. He knew David's facade hid something significant, something tied to Flora."Dad, I just need a little more time to wrap things up. Then,

Since Rowan's departure, James had buried himself in work, drowning in tasks and responsibilities. Whispers circulated among the staff, speculating whether James was secretly in love with Rowan, unable to express his feelings as he grew increasingly moody with her absence.Some brave souls attempted to inquire about Rowan, but James brushed them off, insisting they focus on their duties until Rowan returned."Doctor, you seem off these days. Is everything alright?" the head nurse ventured, concern etched in her voice as she approached James.James nodded tersely, masking his inner turmoil behind a facade of composure."Doctor, you know they say a problem shared is a problem halved. You can trust me, sir. I'm here to help," the nurse persisted gently, her sincerity evident."Thank you, but I'm fine," James replied, his tone clipped."Sir, you know—" the nurse began again, only to be cut off by James's sudden outburst of anger."I said I'm fine! If you have no work to do, I can find som

Today was different. James returned home earlier than usual, his temper simmering beneath the surface, impossible to contain. He was seething with annoyance that his own brother would betray him by disclosing his intentions to Flora.Steve's actions had left James feeling betrayed, questioning his brother's motives. Steve had made decisions for others without considering their feelings, leaving Jessica and marrying someone else in a misguided attempt to protect their family and secure his own future.As James pulled into the driveway and stepped out of his car, his anger burned hot within him. He didn't bother with his suitcase; instead, he marched straight into Rowan's apartment."Uncle James, you're back early! You must really love this favorite dish of yours. I'll be done soon. Find a place to sit," Jessica greeted him cheerfully, emerging from the kitchen as soon as she heard his car. She opened the door for him, oblivious to the storm raging inside him.But James hadn't returned

David immersed himself in the kitchen, concocting a meal for Rowan, she observed him with a blend of curiosity and suspicion."You know I can cook," Rowan remarked, her eyes trained on David as he deftly navigated the kitchen."And I say I don't want you to cook. Just watch me while I prepare your delicious meal," David replied, his tone light but his eyes serious.Rowan couldn't help but feel a pang of doubt as she watched David effortlessly move around the kitchen. "It baffles me that you remember how to cook, yet you don't remember anyone," she mused, her words tinged with skepticism.David sensed the undercurrent of uncertainty in Rowan's voice, her unspoken questions hanging heavy in the air. He understood her doubts, grappling with his own fragmented memories in her presence."I guess humans don't forget what they've learned. Isn't that why you asked me that day if I had started regaining my memory after seeing me operate laptops?" David responded, his voice tinged with a hint o

Instantly, the air around David crackled with tension. He swiftly shed his suit, the fabric feeling heavy in his trembling as he handed it over to Richard, who felt like crying at the back of his boss—this was all his boss had been working for in the past few months: to have Miss Rowan to himself finally, without fear of Flora hurting her again. Just then, James' phone buzzed, interrupting the silence that engulfed the atmosphere. Seeing the caller, James picked up at once. "Hello, babe," James said into the phone, drawing curious glances from David and Richard. To them, only Rowan would receive such a nickname. Seeing their suspicious gazes, he switched the phone to loudspeaker. "Hi, Naomi, you can speak now," James invited. "Miss Rowan has been rushed to the hospital. She's unable to fly; she started having contractions before she entered the plane," Naomi informed them. Before James could reply, David snatched the phone from his hands. "Miss Naomi, this is her husband at the ho
The Billionaire's Housemaid   The wedding day
The room was alive with happiness as Flora jubilated, knowing that in a few hours, every TV station and blogger would be buzzing about her wedding to David Thompson, the president of the Oregon group of companies."As the heiress of Seraphims Holding, I only deserve the best," Flora declared from where she lay on the bed, with Andrew planting kisses on her neck and along her jawline."You know I will compensate you handsomely. I panicked when I found out David had regained his memory but didn't want me anymore. I thought everything was over, after years of patiently waiting," Flora confessed, a smile playing on her lips."I've told you that you don't have any problems. Since you've opened up to me about your true feelings and that it's me you love, and only his money you desire, since you've promised that it's my child you'll carry in his house, then I don't have any issues. The wedding is set to proceed, and in a few hours, you'll be Mrs. Thompson officially, but inwardly, you'll be M
The Billionaire's Housemaid   Steve decision
It had been a few days, and tension hung thick in the air as Steve returned to James's house to deliver his response. The silence that filled the room was deafening, each breath heavy with anticipation. Jessica, though she thought she was prepared for any outcome, couldn't help but rub her hands together nervously. Ryan, sensing the tension, rested his head on her lap, his instincts picking up on the palpable anxiety swirling around them. "So, brother, have you finally made your decision?" James asked, his tone harsh yet tinged with regret. In the past few days, he had come to realize that his emotions had clouded his judgment. He understood that everything Steve had done was out of love for him — Steve didn't want him to lose the love of his life, just as James had lost his. It was this realization that had prompted James to allow Steve to make his own decision, even if it meant James would have to bear the pain of parting with his brother, if only for a while. "Yes, kid brother,"
The Billionaire's Housemaid   Knowing the truth
What?" David's father asked, surprised by his son's allegations. "Dad, answer me. Are you involved with her too?" David demanded. "No, I'm not. And I'm disappointed that you would think so little of your father," David's father said. "I don't care, Dad. If she knows something about you significant enough to trade for my safety, then it must be substantial, and I need to know about it today," David said defiantly "Sit down, and I will tell you everything," David's father said. Reluctantly, David slumped into the chair, his anger palpable, emanating from him like a dark cloud. "Firstly, I discovered the kind of person Flora was after you started seeing her. Knowing how much you love her compelled me to dig deeper. I didn't want you to end up with the wrong woman. After finding out that she was involved with different men, I decided to confront her myself instead of letting you do it. During our conversation, she confessed that her uncle had forced her into those situations and that

"What do you mean, David? It was the marriage certificate we both signed, isn't that what we both wanted back then? Just because you didn't have the memory doesn't change the fact that your mother is aware of it, and a mother can't lie," Flora's voice came over the phone, her tone laced with frustration and desperation. She wasn't even attempting to come to David's house, realizing she had nothing left to lose."Flora, even if it is true, I don't want this marriage anymore. We have to annul the certificate," David stated firmly, using a word he never wanted to utter."What? David, are you trying to use me and then discard me? We've been dating for almost seven years. Now you don't want me anymore, and you didn't consider the repercussions it will have on my family and me, on the company, on everyone who believed we would end up together... I won't force you, David, but think about the consequences. We are legally married starting next week. If we don't announce it publicly, I don't kn
The Billionaire's Housemaid   Where did you get it?
Naomi could only hum softly as she listened to Rowan's teasing remarks. Bending down, she reached for the coffee cups placed in front of them, an order she had made for both of them. Savoring the warmth, she took a delicate sip before carefully placing the cup back on the table.Inwardly, Naomi grasped the subtle undertones of Rowan's words. Since meeting James, she felt a shift within herself, a desire to embody qualities that might earn his admiration. But could she confide in Rowan that the catalyst for her change was the very man who harbored feelings for her?"Miss Rowan, I can't say there's any love involved. Let's just say someone's critique nudged me towards self-improvement," Naomi replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty. Rowan's gentle smile lingered, leaving Naomi to ponder if her response had hit the mark."You know, being challenged by someone and feeling compelled to better oneself because of them, well, it's akin to love. You might not realize it now, but soon enough
The Billionaire's Housemaid   The Rude girl
Before James exited the hospital, he had arranged to meet Naomi, only to hear the distressing news that she was banned from leaving the house. Naomi, a pivotal figure in her father's company, had inadvertently stirred up trouble by being seen at clubs, inviting scrutiny from shareholders and adding pressure to her father's plate. She was slated to marry into another wealthy family to enhance the company's stature. James, though conflicted, found himself driving toward Naomi's house despite his vow to stay away and avoid complicating matters for both families. The prospect of being desired by Naomi's father for his daughter weighed heavily on him, even as he questioned his own intentions. Arriving at the grand mansion, James couldn't help but admire the exquisite taste of Naomi's father.
