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.

    The twist

    Chapter One #Stay longer if you can# a tale of fierce terror with burning hidden desires. Ork land city, 2:00am, Julian had jerked up from a terrible nightmare. His room was still covered with darkness, the evening birds kept chipping non-stop. He reached out for his lamp, a quick turn on it, to brighten the room. The disturbing dream kept him awake for hours, before he eventually ended up sleeping back. 9:00am, the morning was still shrouded in an eerie darkness, a stark contrast to the usual brilliance of the rising sun. The weather had changed so badly from last night, heavy wind kept slamming the windows to Julian's room, but not a single strength he had to sit up. A slight beep on his phone eventually woke him up. Rolling over to his phone, he sat motionless, his fingers clenching around his phone, his jaw tight. The message on his screen burned into his mind, each word a dagger twisting deeper into his chest. “From Lucy 9:00am 14/2 It's over between us Julian” H

    Ruined contract
    Epic two Julian couldn't stop thinking about the deadly deal he made, let alone the sheer audacity of that woman from earlier. “The nerve…” he muttered under his breath, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the steering wheel as he drove. His mind replayed the scene over and over again—her fierce glare, the way she had the guts to grab his tie, her voice laced with anger as she demanded he pay for her drink. “Tshh! Ju-lia-n” he hissed, whispering his name like it was venom on his tongue. It wasn't just the incident that irked him—it was her presence. Her boldness. The way she had spoken to him with no regard for who he was. Did she have any idea who she had just messed with? Then, suddenly, reality struck him. “Oh my goodness! My phone” His voice hardened as irritation flared up again. He had left his other phone with Alex. With a frustrated sigh, he yanked the steering wheel, making a sharp U-turn back to the office. Alex was pacing back and forth when Julian stormed in. H

    hired
    Chapter 3 The sound of Margret ’s phone buzzing, slicing through the heavy silence in her dimly lit room, couldn't stop, until she stopped staring at the screen and answering the call with a weary sigh. “Hello.” Her voice was flat. “Hi, it’s Alex.” The voice on the other end was cautious. Her brows furrowed in disbelief. “From the office?” she asked, surprised. “Yes, ma’am. I’m sorry—” Margret scoffed before he could finish. “I already know. I got fired. Before I even stepped foot in the office, the report was filed, right? I get it. It’s not your fault—he’s your boss, after all.” There was a bitter edge to her voice. “Yeah, but…” Alex hesitated. “I wasn’t the one who submitted the report. I think he sent it in before you even got home.” He sighed. “But listen, if I come across an opportunity, I won’t hesitate to call you.” Margret ’s grip tightened on the phone. “It’s fine. All thanks to your heartless boss.” Her words were venomous, and before Alex could respond, she ended th

    Costly mistake
    Epic 4 A secret room no one enters? That didn't sit so well with her, but she eventually forgot about it as they continued their ride. “We are here”. Alex said as they drove into the gigantic building. "Wow..." Margret 's breath hitched as she stepped out of the car, her eyes widening in disbelief. The mansion was so grand, so exquisite, it looked like something straight out of a fairytale. Its towering pillars, sparkling marble floors, and sprawling gardens stretched beyond what her eyes could take in. The crisp air smelled of fresh roses, and the golden glow from the chandelier-lit windows made the entire place look like a palace. Her heart raced with excitement. "They must be swimming in money to afford this." Unable to contain herself, she spun around, facing Alex with sheer enthusiasm. “Hey! I'm really going to live here, right?!” she asked, her voice bubbling with joy. Alex chuckled, his cheeks dusted with a light blush. “Of course. And, please… just call me Alex. I fee

    Second chance
    Chapter 5 "You asked me to fire her just a few minutes ago," Alex said defensively, his brows furrowed in confusion. Julian, who had been lost in thought, snapped his gaze back to Alex. "Did I? Why?" Alex hesitated. "Umm... Margret—ret," he stammered, unsure how his boss had suddenly forgotten. Julian’s eyes flickered with recognition. "Oh... The Peacock? You mean she made this?" He said in disbelief. "Yes, sir. But we already fired her," Alex repeated, still trying to piece together what was going on. A long silence stretched between them before Julian finally spoke. "Call her back." His tone was calm but held an edge of finality. Alex blinked. "Sir?" Julian’s gaze darkened. "Call her back and double her salary." Alex stared at him, stunned. "I'm sorry, sir—what did you just say?" Julian leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. "You heard me. Now, leave." Alex hesitated, wanting to question him further, but he knew better. With a quick nod, he turned on his hee

    A night with terror
    Chapter 6 Margret clenched her fists as Julian’s words echoed in her mind. Messy hair? Of all the things he could have commented on, that was what he fixated on? The nerve of that man! Just because he was rich, he thought he could treat people however he pleased. A sudden knock at her door interrupted her thoughts. “Can I come in?” She hesitated for a moment before responding, “Yeah, sure.” The door creaked open, and Alex stepped in with a casual smile. “Oh, it’s you,” she said, relaxing slightly. “Mind if I sit?” Alex asked, motioning to the chair nearby. Margret smirked. “What if I say no?” “Then I’ll stand.” He grinned before settling onto the chair anyway. She rolled her eyes but couldn’t help but smile. “I’m really glad you decided to stay,” Alex admitted. Margret made a playful pout. “Why do you sound like I did you a huge favor? I mean, it was for my benefit too, so technically, I should be the one thanking you.” Alex raised an eyebrow. “You don’t realize what you d

    loved by a stranger
    Chapter 7 Julian couldn't concentrate the entire day. No matter how much he tried to push her out of his mind, Margret kept creeping back in. Something about her unsettled him, yet he couldn’t quite place what it was. He tapped his pen repeatedly on his desk, deep in thought, when a knock interrupted him. "Excuse me, Boss," Alex said as he stepped inside. Julian shot him a cold stare. "Who gave you permission to come in?" Alex swallowed. "I'm sorry, Sir, but your father has been trying to reach you. He said you haven’t been picking up his calls." Julian’s eyes darkened. He leaned back in his chair, the pen still between his fingers. "And that alone didn't tell you I don’t want to speak with him? Sometimes, Alex, you act so unprofessionally. Couldn’t you have made up an excuse?" "I tried, but he knew I was lying," Alex admitted. "That's because you're an amateur," Julian said, exhaling sharply. Alex's phone rang again. He hesitated before glancing at Julian. "He's calling again,

    Be my guard
    Chapter 8 Girls. A bunch of disgusting perverts. How the hell did this loser keep track of my life? And how did she even know about Lucy? Julian exhaled sharply, kicking off his shoes with a tired grunt. "Damn, these shoes hurt." He ran a hand through his hair, his mind racing. “Tisha… ahh, Tsh…” he muttered, a strange smirk playing on his lips—one that disappeared the moment his phone rang. His jaw clenched as he picked up. “Hello, Mum.” “How are you, dear? I assume that worm at the office has been giving you a hard time again?” his mother’s voice came through, laced with concern. Julian remained silent. “We need to see you this weekend. There’s an important matter we must discuss,” she continued slowly. “Dad already told me,” he mumbled, rubbing his temple. “Yes, I know. But I need to tell you myself. I want you to understand just how serious this is.” Julian shook his head, his patience wearing thin. “I’ve heard you, Mum. I’m driving. I’ll call—” “You can use your earpod

    My boss's best friend
    Chapter 9 Margret barely had a moment to herself when Alex’s sharp voice sliced through the air, pulling her back to reality. “What do you think you’re doing sitting on my boss’s couch?” She turned to him, her expression instantly hardening. The irritation in his voice was clear, and his body language screamed disapproval. He was rushing toward her with the kind of urgency that made her feel like she had committed a crime. Margret straightened, squaring her shoulders. “Excuse me?” Her voice was firm, though laced with irritation. “You heard me,” Alex snapped. His glare was unwavering. “We need to talk.” She let out a short, humorless laugh. “We?” she scoffed, shaking her head. “Since when do we have anything to talk about?” She turned on her heel, ready to walk away. But Alex wasn’t done. “That reminds me,” he said suddenly, his tone dropping just enough to make her pause. “We do need to talk—because I’d love to understand why you think I wanted to fire you.” Margret froze. Her

    Matching his energy
    Chapter 10 Accepting this job was a mistake. Or maybe the real mistake was tolerating every insult Julian threw at her. Margret paced her room, hands clenched into fists, still fuming from the humiliation. How dare he belittle her in front of his friend? Did he even know she was a graduate? The way he dismissed her, as if she were nothing—was she supposed to just ignore his friend? Was she supposed to snub him? She scoffed. Julian was never kind. Not for a second. Everything had been an act, a disguise. Beneath it all, he was still the cold, heartless man she always knew him to be. Margret let out a frustrated sigh, but just as she turned, a sharp knock at the door made her pause. “Margret … Ana…” The whisper sent a chill down her spine. She knew that voice. Why can't this man leave me alone? Her body tensed, but she forced a smile before opening the door. Alex stood there, grinning as if he had just heard the funniest joke. “Umm… any problem?” Margret asked, confused by
