I gasped. "What do you even mean? How did you have such a huge debt? Where did you spend it?!" I yelled. I do not think they spent the money here in our house! Hell!"Why are you even asking, Nieva? And could you please stop acting like we are a bad person just because of our debt!" Leona said angrily. I stared at her in disbelief. I could not believe she said that!"No! You are worse than that, Leona! How would you even pay for it? $50,000?! Where would you find that large amount of money! You can't even pay the electric bill!" I can't helped but snapped at her.She rolled her eyes. I can't believe she still has the guts to act like this infront of me."We will surely find a way to pay it!" She said before she turned her back on me. "Let's go, Levan!"Levan looked at me for a moment before he followed Leona. I sighed as I watched them walked away. I gritted my teeth. It should not even be my problem but when I think about it, I can't help but be stress out! What if they would not be
I am not sure how I fell asleep in here. When I woke up, I could feel all the soreness in my body. I winced as I tried to stretch out my body as I sat on the ground. I was laying on the dirty ground. I am still grateful that I had a place to sleep in. But now, I need to find a decent place. I will not be able to stay longer in this kind of place. It was still dark but I am not sure that it is already dawn. Maybe around four in the morning or so.Where should I find a place? I am not familiar where I am. I walked for around thirty minutes until I found a person."E-Excuse me," I said in a soft voice. She stopped and knitted her brows at me."Yes?""I just want to ask if you know a place where I could stay like an apartment or something. A small place is fine with me." I gave her small smile.Her eyes widened a bit. "Oh? I have am apartment! And I still have one available bed space for you, dear!" She was smiling widely like she was very happy.I can't help but be surprised. Is this rea
"Dear, didn't you tell me that you want to continue your study?" Minda said as we ate lunch.Minda and Henry asked me to live in their house for almost a month now. They are Brett's relatives. Minda is his mother's sister. They do not have a child. They are comfortable in life and both of them have stable jobs. Brett recommended me to them when they were looking for someone to clean their house.At first, I refused because I know that having a privacy is the best in the world and I do not want them to have another person in their house. I am just being considerate. But Minda was she one who begged me to live with them. Now, I do not have to pay for rental or any other bills. That is why I am doing my best to be helpful in here."Uhm, I want to but it's really not my priority as of the moment," I whispered."I will enroll you at the near state university," Minda said in an excited tone. I can't help but widen my eyes at her words. That is too much! She does not have to!"N-No. I apprec
"Miss," the man sighed. "The boss is waiting for you. We can't stay any longer here. We have to go. Come out now," he said. I could sense that he wanted to yell at me but he was trying his best not to. I swallowed hard as I shook my head multiple times. How did I even get here again?"P-Please. I changed my mind! Just find someone else to be your maid. I am not interested anymore," I said, begging him but he just sighed. He pulled out something from his pocket and I was horrified for a moment, thinking that it was a gun but when I saw that it was a phone, I sighed in relief. He turned his back on me after sending me a murder glare. I think he called someone. I could not hear what he was saying and after a few seconds, he went back to me."Come on now, Miss Dasha. We are not here to hurt you. You wanted a jo, right? Here it is. You are hired."I do not even know why he thinks that he is going to convince me with those words!"No. I am sorry. I do not want to work anymore. I told you. I
I stared at the very huge mansion infront of me. It was sitting on top of a hill. And the crazy thing was I had to ride a helicopter to reach this mansion. Whoever that friend of Madam Violet must be so damn rich. This mansion is not just a mansion. No. It is not. It is a damn palace! I have not even seen like this even from a movie. Well, maybe I have but... this one is almost impossible. I feel like I am in some kind of a fairytale.A maid wearing a uniform suddenly showed up while I was outside. She is a bit old but not old enough to be called grandmother."Please, follow me," she said before she went inside the mansion. I closed my lips which have been parting since I got here. I do not even want step on the shining floor of the mansion. Every corner of this place is screaming wealth, power and authority. I was suddenly scared to face Madam Violet's friend."Please, sit here. I will call Hilda." The maid walked away even though I have not even responded.I was scared to even sit o
I wanted to ask about the owner of this mansion but I kinda feel embarrassed to talk to the other maids. They are not talking at all. I also noticed that they barely look at each other. Hilda did not say anything about this. I wonder if she forgot or... She probably did.I can't stop looking at the foods as we prepared the long rectangular glass table. I was literally salivating by the sight of it. I do not think this is for some party of anything like that.This amount of food must be for over ten family members. That is such a huge family then, huh? Maybe their in-laws are also living here? In this kind of huge mansion, even 100 people could literally fit here and it is even possible for them to not see each other or bump to each other. And I am not even exaggerating it.My heart pounded so fast in fear nervousness when I heard couple of footsteps coming. I could also hear hushed deep voices.The maids suddenly stood in line, as if getting ready to welcome whoever will enter. Of cou
"Oh. Babysitter? I was also a babysitter before!" Joy giggled a bit. I smiled at her. We talked about some random things in life while we were sitting on my bed. She mentioned that she has one daughter who is at the same age as me."She got pregnant by some asshole guy and he left her. He left his responsibility," she said with sadness in her tone. She shook her head. "And you..." she stared at me for a moment. "You should be wise when it comes to choosing your partner. Have you ever had a boyfriend? I bet you have, right?"I bit my lip as I slightly shook my head. "I have not," I whispered. Her eyes widened as though I said something very shocking."What? Stop lying, dear! I do not believe you. There is nothing wrong with being in a relationship! It is normal!" She laughed as she rolled her eyes.I winced. "Uhm, it is true. I have not been in any relationship. I just do not have time for it..."Her lips parted as she scrutinized me. "You are kidding! You are so freaking beautiful, Na
I woke up at four am. That is when the maids are usually waking up every morning according to Linda. She told me about the things that we are allowed to do and not allowed to do. So far, I could say that the work here is easy. Well, not too easy but bearable. Not to mention it is tiring too.I helped Linda cooked breakfast for us this morning. She said that every two maids here is tasked to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner at different days. Basically, they tasked me to cook today with Linda. We fried some eggs, bacon, hotdogs and garlic rice. I also made them coffee.Britney is the first one who entered the kitchen. She immediately raised her brow at me when our eyes met. I smiled a bit even though I know that she will not reciprocate it."Good morning, Britney," I greeted her and as expected, she just ignored me as she pulled out a chair and sat there. I bit my lip as I looked away, feeling a bit embarrassed. I caught Linda looking at me with pity in her eyes as she quickly glanced
When my memories came back, I feel nothing but anger towards Petrakis. In all those years where I was living in his lies as his daughter, I did nothing but to do all the things he wanted me to do.Now that I am walking towards the basement, I could feel my heart pounding rapidly. It is not because I am scared. It is because of anger and hatred for that evil man.The image of him shooting my daughter plays in my head over and over again like a broken record. He killed my baby mercilessly... And I will never forgive him for that."You can leave now," I told Greval's men."Are you sure, Ma'am? Don told us to not leave you here alone..."I shook my head. "I can do this. I have a gun," I said with conviction.They sighed and without any choice, they left. I entered the basement with my heart filled with nothing but rage.He was on the chair, just like the last time I have seen him. Still covered by his own blood. I could feel my body shaking in wrath as I stared at the man who ruined my li
I knitted my brows as soon as I entered our home. It feels empty... I do not know why but my heart suddenly filled with fear. It started to pound rapidly, almost making me lost my breath."Nieva? Baby?" I called her as I walked towards our room. But it was empty.I swallowed hard. I just got home from work and usually, she always welcomes me at our door and will give me kiss. She did not tell me anything that she will leave. I tried to call her but her number was cannot be reached. I swallowed nervously as I called her again. Where the hell is she?My heart was almost killing me. It was beating so fast and I think I would pass out any moment from now. Just where the fuck is she? She did not tell me that she is going somewhere today!My fear and anxiety were eating whole system every passing second. And I swear to God, I feel like death is coming to me.I called Kajik and asked for his help. He said that he will order his men to look for my wife. His men... They are not mine now as I
For ten years without her, I have been living in the dark. I have been walking in a dark place. I could not even see the I way that I am walking in. I was scared while taking my each step. But I continued. I continued living even I am broken inside.It was all worth it. I never thought that the God has a plan for us. He did not let me die because she is waiting for me from somewhere. She is alive... My wife is alive...A woman who looked exactly like Nieva broke into my mansion to steal money. It was fucking crazy. I could feel every fiber of my being was shaking as I stared at her face.As the days went by, we confirmed who she was and about her situation. Because she has been experiencing severe migraine for the past days and she often lost her consciousness because of it, I asked Diego, who is a neurologist, to check on her. And there, we found a small looking chip in the right side of her brain. It was confusing. Why is there a chip in there? What is this all about?"Someone put a
"What the hell?!" She hissed as she looked at me.I blinked several times. It is not her...I feel like my world crashed for the millionth time. I swallowed hard. My whole system was filled with disappoinment, anger, pain..."I-I am sorry..." I let go of her immediately, running my fingers through my hair.But her eyes widened a bit as she stared at me. She cleared her throat and gave me a seductive smile."Well, hey. You are alone? Do you want some company?" she whispered in a sultry voice.I pursed my lips in a grim line when her hand caressed my chest. I gritted my teeth and like an instinct, my hand wrapped around her throat tightly. "Do not fucking touch me like that, bitch," I growled angrily before I pushed her on the ground. She was gasping for air as she looked at me, fear filled her eyes. I feel like I cheated on my wife even though I did not do anything after being touched by another woman. I walked out of that damn club and cursed. I looked up at the dark sky dotted wi
I gritted my teeth. They used me. They ruined my life... I could still remember when I woke up after Petrakis put the chip in my brain. I could not remember anything that day. But as the days went by, I slowly started to remember things... but those were not my memories... Those were Victoria's...My own memories were completely forgotten and they were replaced by Victoria's. Started to her own childhood, to her life in highschool until she met Greval. I could remember all of it. It was as if it was my own memories. They just felt so real and vivid in my brain as if they really happened to me..."Are you okay, baby?" Greval whispered in my ear as he stroked my hair. I shut my eyes tightly and hugged him more. We were both naked in our bed."I am just... tired," I murmured.He sighed heavily. "Are you sure?"I nodded a bit, smiling as I lifted my eyes on him. I love this man so much. I do not what I would do without him.THOSE YEARS WITHOUT NIEVA WERE HELL. I was broken. I did not even
It was painful. That is all I could feel when I woke up. I do not even know where I am... and who am I...I looked around the four corners of this white room. Where is this place? Why am I here? And most of all, who am I? What am I doing here? Why am I laying on this bed? What happened?The door opened and a man wearing a white laboratory gown entered the room. I knitted my brows as I watched him walked towards me.I could see the shock flashed in his eyes as he looked at me. His walk became slow."God, is this real?" I heard him whispered.I could not even move my fingers. I wanted to move but I feel like my body was too heavy for me to do that. Who is this man? Who am I? I wanted to vocalize those words but I just did not have the ability to. I feel so weak and I am in too much pain. My head was throbbing painfully. I feel like it is not a normal headache. It was even worse than a severe migraine. It was too painful to bear."Do you remember your name?" The man asked in a calm voice
Victoria smiled evilly at me, crossing her arms infront of her chest as she looked at me as if she won."H-How..." I swallowed hard. "How did this happen? I-I thought–""Oh! You thought I am dead?" Victoria laughed insultingly. "As I have said, it is part of the plan. We had to get your trust...""No..." I breathed heavily, swallowing hard. "But do not worry. Greval is looking for you now. He does not think you are dead. Dad is just playing you. Well, probably soon. You will be dead for real..." She smiled innocently.They left me in the laboratory while I was screaming for help but no one came to rescue me. I have to escape before they could even do their plan. I will not let Victoria replace me in Greval's life. I will not let her desperation lead to any way. I will make sure she will not succeed. I will make sure of that.I do not know how long it has been but I think it was almost midnight. I am not sure about what time it was. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. My eyes widened when I
"What?" I whispered under my breath.He smiled. "He thinks you are dead, Nieva. So you can't go back to him. You have to be with me... darling..." I shook my head, taking a step back as my heart started to beat in bizarre way. "W-What do you mean?""I sent him the body of Victoria... And he thought that it is you," he said in a nonchalant voice."You're..." I shook my head. "No... No! You did not! Tell me you did not!" I screamed angrily as I gasped for air.Suddenly, Taliyah's door opened. My eyes drifted to my daughter who looked so confused."Mommy? Why are you screaming? What is happening? Daddy?" She looked at Mr. Petrakis.I swallowed hard. I was about to grab her arm to protect her from the devil infront of us but before I could even do it, he had already grabbed her.My eyes widened as he gave me a dark smile when he lifted Taliyah in his arms."Your mommy wants to leave, my love. Do you want to leave Daddy?" he said in a soft tone, but I could hear the threat behind his word
I can't stop staring at her face... Taliyah...Tears clouded my vision as I looked at the kid infront of me... My daughter.My heart was beating strangely for this beautiful kid. I do not know what it was but it feels... so good. My heart was hammering so loud the longer I stared at her."She is your mom, Taliyah..." Mr. Petrakis said in a soft voice, kneeling infront of Taliyah.He took me in her room. I still do not want to believe him but my heart was telling me otherwise. And I can't just ignore what it says to me."Mommy? She is my mommy? Why does she look like Victoria?" Taliyah asked in a cute and adorable voice.I swallowed hard as I felt my tears ran down my cheek as I walked slowly towards her.Hey eyes... She got Greval's eyes..."Oh god," I whispered, sobbing.Mr. Petrakis made way for me. My eyes were only focused on the kid infront of me. I can't take my eyes off her. I do not want to. I want to stare at her for the rest of my life... She is my daughter... She came from
