I. Delilah's Pov

Raphael and I met at the unexpected event, it was our village's festival and many were preparing to celebrate one of the most special occasions. I am currently serving as a maid in the Montenegro's family. But often that rich family doesn't stay here because they are too busy running their businesses in different places. The Montenegro's couple rarely comes here, sometimes only Don Markus visits the mansion and sometimes his wife, Madam Gloria. That couple is kind and generous, that's why no wonder why they were blessed with many beautiful things in life. But in my more than ten years of serving them as a maid, I have never seen and met the two male heirs of their properties. I hear a lot that they are currently living in another country and that they have completed their studies there as well. As far as I know from the old servants who are with me here at the hacienda, the eldest son of Don Markus and Madam Gloria, Sir Raphael, is the same age as me. But none of them have seen the ap

II. Delilah's Pov (We met again)

Hopelessly Devoted/Latte

“Delilah, who are you waiting for there? And why do you seem to be looking for someone?” the one who spoke was Betty, my best friend and co-worker as a maid here at the mansion. I didn't respond immediately to what she asked, so I couldn't tell her the truth either. It's been almost three days since I saw that aggressive man, and after that day I didn't see him again. I must admit that I was a little worried about him because he still looks like a stranger in this place.“Did he get back to their house safely?” I said softly as Betty turned to me with one eyebrow raised and a look of curiosity on her face.“Who are you talking about? And why do you seem concerned about someone? Is there something you're not telling me?” She was curious, but I didn't answer her because I would rather not let her know about the pretty man I met the other day, besides that, I didn't want her to know that there was another time when someone trespassed in this mansion. I know that Betty can be trusted, and

III. Delilah's Pov (Hopelessly Devoted)

Hopelessly Devoted/Latte

Since then, Raphael and I have become close friends and I have also introduced him to Betty. But I didn't expect our friendship to go deeper to more than just friends.“I want you, Delilah. I know you want me too, don't you?” that was the first time he confessed to me and because that was also my first love, I was unable to refuse him, or I was unable to hide from him my true feelings for him. It feels good to be in love, especially when you probably also want to be with the person you've only been dreaming about. It's as if my life has suddenly become colorful, there's always a smile on my face, it's like I'm stepping on clouds and a romantic song is whispering in my ears. However, I kept our relationship a secret from Betty. Even we don't know each other very well, or whatever his true personality is, I will accept him because I love him that much. I have no idea about his background, as well as about his past and even his family, I just know that he is the man I want to be with unt

IV. Delilah's Pov

Hopelessly Devoted/Latte

That night I could hardly focus on my work as I look down while we waited for their family to finish eating at the dining room table.“Raphael, when do you plan to return to the states again? Didn't you say that you will live there for good and until you get married?” I heard his father say. I clenched my fists tightly as I held back my anger because of what I heard about him.(So, he really has plans to leave me and to just stay in another country while I'm alone here. Then I was right, that he just played with my feelings.)“I'm not sure yet, but I'll let you know when I get back there.” He replied, then he stood up.“Where are you going? You haven't finished your food yet. Didn't you like the pottage? Or maybe you have something else you want to eat, just tell.me.” His mother was worried.“There's no need. I'm full. I wish to rest for a while in the room.” He responded, then the head maid brought me closer to him. I was surprised to slowly approach him, and then she said, “Please s
