All Chapters of You can't Run, My Secret Maid!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Why are you so stubborn!" Kenneth snapped at Zella, who was already nearing the exit."I apologize, sir." Zella bowed her head.Kenneth approached Zella quickly. Holding both of Zella's cheeks and kissing Zella's lips gently, Kenneth could not let Zella leave him. These few nights, Kenneth didn't sleep well. He always looked at the clock on the wall, and when would the time change to seven in the morning every day? This morning, seven o'clock, was hard for Kenneth. Time flew by until, in the afternoon, Kenneth had to see Zella in this state."Kenneth." Zella caught her breath after Kenneth broke their kiss."You, I can't let you go.""See you tomorrow." Zella did not answer Kenneth's words, but instead, she opened the door and walked out as if nothing had happened between them.Kenneth was silent. Kenneth couldn't figure out the contents of Zella's head, which was very strange; Kenneth thought his kiss had succeeded in holding Zella's departure. But completely unexpectedly, Zella lef

"Excuse me." Zella poked her head and left Mike's room.Misfortune struck again when Zella walked out of Mike's room. She was met with a pair of cold gray eyes belonging to Kenneth; the man stared at Zella without a smile. Zella also felt awkward to say something before she was told Kenneth had already passed. It was as if the man didn't see her.Kenneth pulled his tie roughly. He tore off his shirt and left only the cloth pants hanging down his hips; Kenneth clenched his hands tightly. His emotions had come to a head; why the hell did the woman he liked sell herself to his asshole brother!Kenneth punched the glass of the living room table until it shattered. Not only did Kenneth vent his anger, but he punched the glass many times without feeling any pain.Kenneth lay on the marble floor next to the fireplace, which seemed to be burning wood and causing a large fire. But it wasn't the wood and the fire that Kenneth was talking about. It was a matter of the ashes that were the last th

"Stop eavesdropping; get back to work." Ruby removed her hand from Zella's wrist.Zella still didn't want to leave. Now, she was much more curious about who the woman named Dealova was; their last names were the same. Queenzella Persson, Dealova Persson—are Dealova's father and Zella, the same person?"What are you doing here?" Mike's voice returned to Zella's ears, but Zella didn't bother. Instead, she pulled Mike's hand and hid it behind her body, covering Mike's mouth with her hand."Shut up!" Zella warned Mike with her sharp gaze.Mike nodded and rubbed Zella's hand. Zella quickly pulled her hand away from Mike's mouth. Zella's eyes refocused on the two humans, still talking to each other."Where are my father's ashes, Mr. Zaverio?"Zella overheard the conversation between Dealova and Mr. Big again."You knew him?" Mike whispers in Zella's ear; his exhale makes Zella momentarily unfocused."No," Zella answered Mike again."She's Dealova Persson, daughter of Markus Persson, who jus

Zella returned to her room early in the morning. The room was less spacious than Kenneth's; Zella dropped her body on the soft bed. Her eyes were still open, though, her body feeling exhausted as if she had fought several people."Making love consumes a lot of energy," Zella muttered as she stared at the room's slightly worn ceiling. There were spider attacks, probably because this room had not been used for a long time and most likely also missed cleaning.Just as Zella wanted to close her eyes, the door to her room was knocked again. Zella climbed back down the bed and approached the door. Her hand turned the doorknob, and she saw who was knocking."What's wrong?" Zella saw Mike coming to visit her room."I don't want to sleep in my room.""So? What does that have to do with me," Zella said in confusion as Mike noted something strange."Let's switch rooms," Mike asked Zella to sleep in his room while he slept in hers."No, no, no. How can you! This is the maid's room; you're a maste

"What happened to your cheek?" Mike looked at Zella with a sharp gaze.Zella didn't answer Mike's question; she focused on compressing her cheek. Mike approached Zella and pulled Zella's chin. He saw Zella's red cheek. Mike knew it was a slap mark, but who had done it?"Did Kenneth do it?" Mike said in an emphasized tone, his hand still holding Zella's cheek.Zella pushed Mike's hand away from its grip on her chin. Zella answered Mike with a shake of her head: Why did Mike think only Kenneth did that to her? All this time, Kenneth had never been rude to her."Then who did it?" Mike yelled at Zella, scaring the passing servers, but Zella looked relaxed and as if she didn't bear any burden."Speaking in a low tone, Mike, I can't tell you who did it." Zella was too lazy to argue with Mike; she walked to the refrigerator and took out a new bottle of cold mineral water. Zella opened the bottle lid, took Mike's hand, and put the bottle down."Cool your head, and then you can continue talkin
