FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN

FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN

*You love me? No… you can’t love a maid—a daughter of a prostitute, a one-night mistake like me. We’re not from the same world. We can never be together. It’s a dream that won’t come true.* *Lily, that doesn’t matter. I don’t care where you’re from or what your past is. I love you—and that’s the only truth that matters.* Lily has always known her place—silent, invisible, and unworthy of love, especially from someone like Sebastian Kingsley, heir to a billion-dollar empire. Her life has been shadowed by the shame of her past—being the daughter of a high-class prostitute and born from a one-night mistake. Desperate for income as her mother’s illness worsens, Lily takes a job as a maid in the Kingsley mansion. She never expected to steal the heart of the city’s most powerful billionaire. But Sebastian, weighed down by family expectations and haunted by addiction and sleepless nights, sees something in her that no one else does—peace. Hope. To the world, Sebastian has everything. But behind the wealth and status is a man slowly breaking. Only Lily sees the truth behind the mask. Their love is passionate… but forbidden. Sebastian is already engaged—to Lily’s sister. The woman society believes is perfect for him. Lily is just a maid—powerless and easily disposable. She wants to run, to protect herself from the heartbreak she knows is coming. But how do you walk away from the only person who’s ever made you feel truly alive? Can their love survive the storm of betrayal, societal expectations, and painful truths? Or will duty and deception tear them apart ? In a world ruled by power, status, and secrets, Sebastian and Lily fight for a love that was never meant to be.

Chapter: Chapter 38
Drey’s POVI had always been the observer. The one who noticed when others were too busy performing or pretending to be someone they were not. In this house, that skill had become sharper than ever. People were careless around Sebastian, and some underestimated Lily. I never did.It had started with a simple observation. Sebastian had changed. Not in big, obvious ways. He still carried the calm authority, the cold glare that kept most people at bay. But Lily had done something no one else ever could. She had softened him. Subtly. Quietly. And I had watched it happen.He looked at her differently now. Not like a boss looks at an employee. Not even like a man looks at a woman. It was something more difficult to describe, something dangerous. It was fascination, attention, and a strange kind of affection. He noticed her small gestures, the way she spoke without pretense, the way she moved through the house without fear yet without demanding anything. That attention made her glow in ways

Chapter: Chapter 37
Sebastian’s POVI had always believed that anger was my strongest shield. It kept people at a distance and protected me from disappointment. It made sure no one stayed long enough to see what I carried inside. Yet lately that shield had begun to crack, not because someone challenged it, but because someone ignored it completely.Lily did not fear my silence. She did not tremble when my voice hardened. She did not rush to please me. She simply did her work and carried herself with a calm that unsettled me more than rebellion ever could. It was as if she understood that storms eventually pass, and there was no need to scream at the sky while waiting.That afternoon, when she arrived late to my office, I decided to pretend I was angry. Not because I truly was, but because I needed to see how she would react. I wanted to know if her calm was real or just temporary courage that would fade under pressure. I had tested many people before, and they always failed.She stood before me, hands cl

Chapter: Chapter 36
Victoria’s POVI saw them before I even realized I was looking.Sebastian was standing near his desk, calm, relaxed, not the cold man everyone feared. And Lily was there. Too close. Too comfortable. She was speaking, and he was listening. Really listening. His eyes were soft, focused on her, as if nothing else in the world mattered at that moment.My chest tightened.That look on his face was not meant for her.It was meant for me.I stood frozen, my nails digging into my palms as memories flooded my mind. All the times I tried to speak to him and he brushed me aside. All the times I stood near him and he barely noticed. Yet here she was, standing in his space, breathing his air, touching something in him I never could.And the worst part was not just Sebastian.It was the people watching.I saw the servants whispering. I saw the way they smiled at Lily when she passed. I heard the murmurs. How she calmed him down. How brave she was. How Sebastian’s mother thanked her personally. How

Chapter: Chapter 35
Lily’s POVI took a deep breath as I stepped into Sebastian’s office. My hands were slightly trembling, and I forced myself to smile. I had been gone for over two hours, visiting my mom and helping her feel better, but now I couldn’t help thinking I had gotten myself into trouble for being late.“I’m sorry, sir,” I said quickly. “I was busy, and I hope I didn’t”“You came late,” Sebastian interrupted, his voice firm but controlled. There was a slight edge to it, just enough to make my heart skip a beat. “Do you know how long I waited?”“Yes, sir,” I murmured, bowing my head slightly. My stomach felt tight. I had imagined this moment a thousand times in my mind, and now it was happening. I had been late, and I was sure I was about to be scolded.He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms, and stared at me. For a second, I thought I saw something like amusement flicker in his dark eyes, but I wasn’t sure. “Well, at least you’re here now,” he said finally, as if reluctantly forgiving

Chapter: Chapter 34
Lily’s POVI don’t know what exactly Sebastian was thinking when he handed me his card, telling me to buy something for my mom. Maybe it was just a whim, or maybe he genuinely cared. Regardless, I decided to count it as a blessing. I tucked the card carefully into my purse, my fingers brushing over the smooth plastic, and couldn’t help but wonder about the strange mix of anger, intensity, and…something softer that always lingered around him.Drey and I were already seated in the car, the engine humming quietly as we drove through the familiar streets toward my mom’s hospital. The city lights reflected off the windscreen, a blur of yellow and white, but my mind was elsewhere, replaying Sebastian’s words.“I just want to say thank you so much for what you did,” Drey said, his voice breaking through my thoughts. “I really appreciate it, Lily.”“What did I do?” I asked, turning to him with a puzzled look. “What exactly did I do?”Drey smiled, leaning slightly forward in the passenger seat

Chapter: Chapter 33
Sebastian’s pov Darkness wrapped around me like cold hands, pressing against my chest, suffocating me, dragging me down into a pit I had long learned to fear. I didn’t know if I was standing, falling, or drowning. My mind was a storm of screaming echoes. Voices I had tried to forget clawed at me ,some pleading, some accusing. “Sebastian… run.” “Why didn’t you protect us?” “Save yourself…” And then I saw her—Avery.Ten years old. Her small hands clutching her teddy bear, smiling up at me. Her smile twisted into terror in an instant. Shadows of men I couldn’t fight, screams I couldn’t stop, her cries breaking me into pieces again. I tried to reach her… I tried to save her… but I was small, powerless, helpless. Then her voice faded into another, a softer voice—warm, grounding, familiar: “Sebastian… come back.” It was Lily. Her presence cut through the darkness like sunlight through storm clouds. She was gentle, patient, pulling me from the edge of myself. I tried to gra
