THE MAID
The Maid is a gripping tale of power, revenge, and an attraction that defies all reason.
Julian and Margret ’s first encounter was anything but ordinary. A single misstep—Julian colliding into Margret on her way to a high-stakes contract meeting—triggered a chain of events neither of them could have foreseen. Her drink spilled all over him. His ego refused to bend. In a moment of unfiltered rage, Margret lashed out, unaware that the man she had just insulted held her career in his hands.
When Julian retaliated by ensuring her contract was destroyed, Margret ’s world crumbled. Then came an unexpected offer—a new job, courtesy of his assistant. Desperate, she accepted, only to realize too late that she had walked straight into the lion’s den. She was now Julian’s personal cook, trapped in his house with no way out.
What began as months of relentless torment soon spiraled into something far more dangerous. Beneath the surface of their battles, an undeniable tension simmered, blurring the lines between hatred and desire. Julian, the man who once sought to break her, found himself ensnared in a feeling he couldn’t control.
She was supposed to be nothing more than a mere employee. Instead, she became an obsession he could no longer escape.
But in a house built on secrets and hidden agendas, love might not be enough to save them from what lurks in the shadows.

Chapter: Ruined confession Chapter 35The road was so dry as Alex rode back home, trying to control his feelings for Margret who was already soaked in thoughts. The thought of having lost her refreshed back to his memory as he looked at the innocent girl with her earpiece plugged to her ears.“Hey!”. Alex muttered trying to get her attention but she was too lost to notice that.He wasn't sure if he wanted to do this, but he had to tap her to get her attention.“Sorry, I was lost in my music. Any problem?”. Margret let out calmly as she removed the earphones. But her words got scary to Alex as he was already regretting why he tapped her at first.“That's fine”. He replied finally after clearing his throat.“I want to ask you a question, I hope you don't get mad”. Alex whispered slowly as Margret looked at him surprised.If what you are about to say is going to drive me crazy, you better don't spill it out. I just hate the fact that I am with you tonight.“Well, I hope I don't get mad, I won't know how I would re

I need to go see Julian before he leaves for California”. Mi

He let out while looking at her.“It's fine if you don't want to date me again, maybe there is nothing that you miss about us, maybe I'll just walk...”“I forgive you”. Margret said with a smile.Eric, in shock, immediately jumped with excitement while lifting Margret up.“Yey!”. He screamed as he carried her all around the living room.“I promise, I will never hurt you again, it is a promise”. He mumbled as he dropped her.“Can we go back to the kitchen?”. Margret asked politely, while smiling“Of course but before that allow me to do this”.

Eric stammered while still smiling.“It's nothing”, Margret snapped as the went back to dish.“Ouch! That hurts”. Eric screamed as Margret gave him a punch.“I know it doesn't”. Margret whisper

The aroma of the soup her mum prepared oozed into her nose, yet the appetite was not there to enjoy the sweet delicacy in front of her.“You are not eating”. The mother who has been observing her mumbled“I fell in love with my boss mum”.

Now you have me in your custody, treat me to your satisfaction because If I am to get out of here, it will be a merciless death for you”.

I said to Dinma who just wrapped her hands around me.“I just want to go home”. She said as Leo looked at me weirdly.“What did the doctor say about her going home?”. Leo asked as I took in a deep breath.“He didn't say anything about her going home but since the case is about her being flown out of the country then I see no reason for us to remain at the hospital”. “you should go make proper inquiries about that then”. Leo said as I left the room.After much inquiry from the doctor, he said that Dinma could go home

Chapter: Micheal's deathEpic 66I kept yelling inside the place where I was carried, I suppose that should be the back of a trunk. At some point when I got tired I just kept calm.“We are homeeee!”. She screamed all excited as she had me unfolded.Opening my eyes which were all blur, I could barely see where we were, not to talk of all the people that were around me. After some minutes when I finally got myself back, I was able to see clearly.“Where is this place?!”. I said equally as I got myself.“somewhere very far away from home, don't worry you are going to enjoy it here”. She laughed while trying to touch my hair but I snapped off her hands immediately.“don't touch me, you pathetic thing!”. I screamed angrily while turning around in search of Michael.“where is he? where did you take him to? Where is Michael?”. I said while looking around.“You talk too much and you ask so many questions. I do not have any business with you that is why I'm going to let you go, but you see your Sister, Michael you bet

"He was everything I could ever hope to be," he said, his voice filled with pride. "He was strong but gentle. He was brave, but kind. He was my hero, my mentor, my best friend."Jasmine nodded, her eyes shining with love and understanding. As they walked through the snow-covered forest, Kyrian turned to Jasmine and said with a mischievous grin, "You know, I think King would love the beach. Maybe we could take him there for his first birthday. We could build sandcastles, swim in the sea, and watch the sunset over the ocean."Jasmine laughed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "That sounds perfect," she said, her voice filled with joy. "And we can take a family photo on the beach, with King laughing and playing in the sand. The days and weeks pas

Chapter: Chapter 128Epic 128Kyrian stared at the metal bars that separated them, the gulf between them so much more than physical. For a long moment, he said nothing, his thoughts racing.Finally, he spoke. "Why?" he asked, the word escaping his lips like a breath of air. "Why did you do it? Why did you betray me? Why did you become what you were?"Ken remained silent, his eyes unreadable, his expression impassive. Then, he spoke, his voice low and resigned. "I have made my choices, Kyrian," he said. "Choices that I cannot undo, choices that have led me here," Ken continued, his voice growing softer, more reflective. "But I want you to know, Kyrian, that I am not without regret. I have done many things in my life, some of them good, some of them bad. But I am not beyond redemption."Kyrian stared at Ken, his heart aching with the weight of the moment. "Then why?" he asked again, his voice shaking slightly. "Why did you turn away from me? Why did you turn away from everything we believed in?" Ken's gaze

Chapter: Chapter 127Epic 127Kyrian was taken aback by the call, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. "That was Ken," he said, his voice low and tight. "He knows about our plan."Jasmine and Timi's faces paled, the shock of the moment sinking in."How is that possible?" Jasmine asked, her voice trembling slightly. "We haven't told anyone."Kyrian's mind raced, piecing together the fragments of information they had gathered. "He must have someone on the inside," he said, his eyes hardening with determination. "We'll continue to pretend like we're giving up," Jasmine continued, her mind already whirling with ideas. "We'll feed him misinformation, make him think he's winning. But in the meantime, we'll be searching for the leak."Kyrian nodded a fierce determination in his eyes. "We need to be extra careful," he said, his voice grave. "If Ken finds out we're on to him, he'll disappear into thin air, and we'll never get justice for your father. Timi shifted uncomfortably, his mind racing with

"I suppose one more night won't hurt," he said, his voice playful. "I have a couple of spare beds. You're welcome to stay."Timi grinned, relief and excitement filling his face. Kyrian and Jasmine couldn't help but laugh at Timi's eagerness, and the group made their way to the spare rooms, preparing for a night of restful sleep.But as the lights went out and the quiet of the night settled in, Jasmine found herself tossing and turning, unable to shake the unease that had settled in her mind.She couldn't shake the feeling that they were all still in danger, that Ken's threat was still very real and very present.
