After we had left the banquet and came back home, for the next 2 days, everything was sort of peaceful for me. I had a peaceful day, and I was back to being a maid again. I know that Nicholas had initiated to give me a higher position, but I could not take it. I was thinking what would Nora do to me if she gets to know that he’s giving me that kind of position despite the fact that he has publicly said I was his slave. I loved my job anyway. I continued to serve the royal family in peace and avoided Darius in every possible way. And for some weird reason, Darius also became silent. He never fought with his brother anymore and was just shot out away from everything which made me kind of happy and content because for anything, I don’t want him and his brother to continue to fight each other. After that was solved, I started to learn new techniques. I also wanted to be able to support myself, to be able to do things without them and so I started learning different things in the Mansion

Ethan pov No. No. No. I yelled as I scattered everything around me. I could not believe it. Nicholas was still one step ahead of me despite everything despite everything my Assistant Lucas said to me. I turned back to see him as he seemed a bit frightened. I walked towards him and gripped him by his collar. Pushing him back, he fell to the ground as he stumbled while trying to regain his position. “How dare you, you told me that if I was able to get Nicholas, I would get Laura back but instead I brought Nicholas and still Laura picked him over me and he’s threatening me. How dare him, how dare Nicholas do you threaten me? He’s going to regret this. I promise you he is going to regret this. He stepped on me first, he fought with me first, he insulted me first,” I said to my brother as I was still scared and shaking because of what I had just done to him. “How dare he. He came here with his brother and tried to show me that he has more power over me, and yet he expects me to silent

Watching Nicholas walk away from the dining table, I know that my mom had planned this and it was going just the way she wanted. I looked at her as she smiled, trying her best to hold in a giggle. Just then, after Oriyun called out to Laura, Nim rushed away, leaving only me and my mom at the table. I dropped my spoon slowly and looked at her. As she noticed I was staring, she quickly composed herself and looked back at me. "Why are you staring at me like that? It's not like I committed a crime. The only thing I did was just say the truth. I cannot support Laura. I can't help her either. So she should know that, she should be well aware of it that I am ready to help her from that slavery she's at. But she refused to let you love her, which is a very bad thing," my mom said as I stood up again. "You're not going anywhere. Sit down and eat. I only pretended that I wanted to leave because I want Nicholas himself to work out which he just did. So let's just stick that way and you sit b

Maya had already gotten to the Mansion and was ready to go undercover. It wasn't really much of an undercover for Maya because Laura was going to be able to recognize her. It was more of a job to destroy things from within in a way that nobody would be able to realize she's already ruining things for everyone. She smiled as she stayed at a huge Mansion. It was even bigger than that of Ethan. She felt so satisfied that Ethan could pick her of all people to come and do this job. It felt like he saw her as someone important. Foolish her did not know that he was only doing it because he needs Laura back. He never mentioned that part to Maya. Maya dragged her luggage into the Mansion, and the first person she bumped into was Darius. She was so shocked and couldn't help but daydream at him as he stared at her, feeling a bit sorry. "I am so sorry that I hit you. I was in a rush," he said to her as she shook her head sideways. "No, Darius. It is a good thing you hit me because I feel

“I am not actually avoiding you. I'm just actually avoiding you, I'm just too busy. I have so many things on my head right now that I have to deal with and I don't want to mess up, I don’t want to be in a situation whereby I would offend Nicholas,” she said making me even more pissed and angry. “What does this have to do with Nicholas? Why does everything have to do with Nicholas? Why is he the only one? Why can't she just let it all go?” I felt so annoyed but instead I kept quiet and pretended. “Oh that is true, I would not want you to offend Nicholas in any way and besides you are like one of the most important maids in this Mansion and I could hear everyone whispering about you. You seem to be very popular for a slave,” I said to her as she had a frown on her face and slowly removed my hand from her shoulder. “Do not call me that. Do not call me a slave. You can call me a maid but not a slave,” she said to me and turned around as she continued cooking. I walked towards he
