“You think I'd stoop so low to fuck servants like you do?" He yelled— Oh, but he did! Hear me out, Thane Moneau, an enigmatic billionaire, gets tangled up with Lena Hayes, a charming, love-hungry young lady who asks for nothing but to be loved. She's sent to prison for a crime she knew nothing about by her husband, and that was where she'd met Thane; her prison bully. She was released ten months after to find her step sister, Mira, had taken over her marriage. With nowhere else to go after signing the divorce papers, she returned to her father's house only for the heartless man to sell her off as a maid. There again, her world and Thane's collided as her boss was Thane's irresponsible father. Not long after, Mr Moneau senior was killed and Thane was nowhere to be found. Soon, she discovered Thane is actually a ruthless billionaire, and numerous questions filled her mind. How had such a rich man ended up in the kind of dirty prison where she was? Why did he go undercover? And how on earth was he so rich but his father lived in an average house and fucked whores for a living? Also, what happens when Lena goes from being a wife to Adrian Devonshire, to a maid for an old man, then the personal maid to Thane who hates her guts? Will things get worse or will she thrive when unforeseen circumstances force her to get married to the ruthless, arrogant billionaire, Thane Moneau?

Prologue

A month earlier With shaky hands and a smile of excitement plastered on her lips, Lena rang the doorbell of the large, elegantly structured house. Adrenaline rushed up to her brain, and she felt jittery with happiness as her dirt-stained fingers made their way to caress the flat circular pendant of her golden necklace.She walked over to the window beside the door and peered through. The classy golden brown interior was just as she remembered, but a bit shinier. "Looks like Adrian had the maids prepare for my return," she thought, her stomach fluttering with butterflies."I miss him so much!" She beamed and bounced back to the front door, ringing the bell again with more excitement."Coming!" A female voice sang from within.Lena paused, frowning for a nanosecond. She knew that voice. "How thoughtful of Mira to come help Adrian set up the house," she thought, her heart ringing with more joy.The door opened with a swift movement, and Lena's wide smile plastered back on her face.

Chapter 1
Present day Lena sat on the couch in the silent, empty house, staring at the magazine which she'd gotten from the store. She stared at its flat figure, resting on the table like if she touched it, it would explode. The grey-blue eyes which stared back at her were bright, yet dark and she still couldn't believe it was him; the same man who she'd met in prison and made her life feel like hell, was clad in a three piece suit which exaggerated his athletic build and chiselled jaw. And if that wasn't enough, he's getting married to Tessa Maddox; THE Tessa Maddox! "It can't be possible." Lena whispered, wallowing in her disbelief as her eyes read the tagline "The man, the myth, the legend: Thane Moneau's journey to the top." 'What top?!' her head screamed still not accepting the fact she was staring at a billionaire boss. The same Thane who is the son of her now dead boss. Her eyes strayed to the date on the magazine; fifth of February. Her brows furrowed and she tilted her head bef

Chapter 2
Lena could now see why Dante kept saying "we" when he was the only one who came into the house. He had her cramped between himself and another man who hadn't glanced at her when she got into the car.'What was inside the briefcase that needed so many men to come get?' Lena thought. But that was the least of her problems.It was pitch black outside, and they'd been driving for what seemed like an hour. She'd have been certain of the time if she had a phone or wristwatch, but all she had was the fading top and pants she wore, as Dante hadn't given her a chance to take anything from the house.He told her it was Thane's orders. "Bulldoze the house and build something else on it," she'd heard Thane instruct when he was done speaking to her. "Bring her straight here before getting the package to where it should be." After that, he'd said something she hadn't paid attention to.But Lena didn't mind, she was finally out of that place.With zero expectations, she stared straight ahead as the

Chapter 3
Lena's mouth was partly agape at Tessa's disheveled appearance. Her usual poise and glamour were replaced by a worn-out and exhausted look, which made Lena wonder what was going on with her. "Who the fuck are you?" Tessa's voice rang again, laced with irritation, snapping Lena out of her shock."I...I work here." Lena managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper as she stared into Tessa's icy blue eyes, which were now more dull than it usually was on TV. Lena couldn't help but notice that the designer she was wearing was stained and roughened, like she'd had a fight with someone.'A fellow model, maybe?' Lena thought. But Tessa didn't look like a troublemaker.Tessa's gaze lingered on Lena, and she took a step forward. "I've never seen you here before." Lena took a step back as something terrifying flashed in Tessa's eyes as she spoke. "Who let you in here?" "I...I'm new. I was sent to clean up the mess here." She took another step back as Tessa came closer. "I didn't know i-"

Chapter 4
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Lena apologized to a maid she had bumped into who wore a tired face and held a large laundry basket filled with silky velvet curtains. The maid just ignored her and walked away in the direction Lena had seen others walk to.Lena continued on her way, shielding her eyes from the bright but warm sun which kissed her yellow skin. Her eyes searched the lines of bedsheets and curtains, searching for Alex, who she hadn't seen since the sun came up."Need a hand?" Lena asked as soon as she walked up to Alex, who was in the middle of putting up a large cream-colored curtain on a line."You should if you can," Alex replied, without taking her eyes off what she was doing. She had her hair packed in a messy bun purposely to keep it from disturbing her, but loose strands still fell around her eyes, making her occasionally wipe them away.With Lena's help, she was able to get the curtain on the line and straighten it so that it looked like the others which were already up.

Chapter 5
Her eyes snapped open and she blinked multiple times to decipher the strange feel of the place where she lay. This wasn't her bed, neither was it her room as she could tell through the fine curtain she was staring at. She tried moving her legs to sit up, but pain shot through them, making a painful moan escape her lips. Turning her head to take in her environment, she found herself face to face with Thane, who was peacefully fast asleep. Memories of the previous night flooded her mind, and her heart sank. A sly smile slowly crept on her lips, and she reached for his face and placed her palm on his cheek. His body warmth engulfed her once more. 'If only he hadn't been drunk and knew who he had slept with,' Lena thought as her eyes lingered on his luscious lips which had sucked on hers throughout the night. Giving in to the temptation, her fingers gently caressed the side of his lips, then slid down his neck. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Thane, with shut eyes,

Chapter 6
"I understand." Marie said with a smile, hoping it would smoothen her boss's furrowed brows at least a little. But Thane just ignored it and went on."Make sure everything is set for tomorrow. Many people will be in attendance and so will my mom, and you know how she can be.""How could I forget?" Marie replied cheerfully, recollecting how much drama Mrs. Moneau brought whenever she was around. "Alright then, thank you Marie." he replied and turned towards the Bentley Bentayga which stood waiting, with Dante holding the door open for him. "Oh and," he turned around, back to Marie who still stood there waiting for him to leave, "Keep an eye on Lena." The woman's brows creased a little. "Is there a problem, Thane?" She asked and tilted her head, trying to read his expression, but it was just blank."Not really. Just do as I've said." With that, he dived into the car and Dante got in after him. He slammed all the doors shut and sped the car away from the premises.The usual silence whe

Chapter 7
The entire hall seemed to be thrown into silence and the sound of the tumbling Lena filled the building till she landed on the floor with her back."Ouch!" She muttered and shut her eyes in pain as she felt like she'd severed her spinal cord. The pain spread really quickly, and she began to feel it even on her shoulders, but soon, her eyes shot open.'The briefing!'With so much effort, she scrambled to her feet and met the eyes of Tessa and the much older woman whom Tessa was speaking to."What the fuck are you doing?" Tessa's face was beet red in anger as she stared at Lena's pathetic figure trying to steady herself and suck in the pain."Good. This is exactly what we need." The other woman's voice dripped with sarcasm, but Lena didn't dare look her in the eye."I'm so sorry, ma'am." Lena apologized, suppressing a wince from the pain in her shoulders. The other woman turned to the other guests and assured them that everything was fine with a forced smile, then turned back to Lena wi

Chapter 8
Lena quickly averted her gaze and shut her eyes as he came into view. Her heart raced so fast she feared it'll run out of her chest. And while she thought of her escape route, Thane turned in her direction and noticed her unease."Who missed me?" the voice called cheerfully, as he got to the table with his female partner. Grinning with excitement, they both slid into the seats reserved for them.Luckily, the chairs were positioned right in front of Lena, so they wouldn't be able to see her unless they made an awkward turn."Oh my god, hi! So good to finally meet you." The lady greeted Tessa cheerfully, even though Tessa only flashed her a forced smile. Lena's heart shattered, her emotions threatening to break free. 'This cannot be happening.' she told herself as she dug her fingernails into the back of her palm in an attempt to soothe herself. 'You're probably still in Thane's bed and your conscience is making you have bad dreams.' She tried convincing herself. But she couldn't shake

Chapter 9
Lena clutched her chest and hurriedly began walking back to where she'd come. There was no way she was going to let Mira see her this way."Hey, wait, I'm lost. Could you help me find my way?" Mira inquired, with a soft tone which Lena had never heard from her before. Lena paused as if contemplating whether to help her, but then she took a couple more steps further."Hey, I'm talking to you!" Mira called again, her softness fading.Lena eventually stopped, but didn't dare turn around. With her heart pounding in her chest, she muttered. "Where are you headed?""I don't know. I was hoping I could find a bath-Lena?" Lena hadn't heard Mira walk up behind her, and it wasn't until Mira stood face to face with her that she realized she was doomed.Mira suddenly burst into an uncontrollable laughter, completely coated with mockery while holding her barely swollen belly as she half doubled over. "My baby!" She exclaimed in between more laughter while Lena stood there, staring at her like sh
