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 5
Lily's pov The job interview at Kingsley Empire was a week ago, and I still hadn’t started preparing. That needed to change. I pulled out my old computer, wiped off the dust, and began my research.What I discovered shouldn’t have scared me–but it did.Kingsley Empire had a reputation. A fierce one.It was called a “no-mistake zone.” One misstep and you’d be punished. No pardon. No second chance. The rules were clear. The only upside was the pay–exceptionally high, especially for a maid. But competition was brutal. The job might sound like just being a maid, but within the Kingsley Empire, that role carried intense responsibility. Over 100 workers served under the organization, yet they all worked beneath one name, one power–Sebastian Kingsley, the only son of the Kingsley family.They called him many things:The Lion.The Ice Prince.The No-Nonsense Heir.The Man Who Makes No Mistakes.The Punisher.The Untouchable.I stared at his photo. He looked familiar. I couldn’t quite place w

Chapter: CHAPTER 4
Lily's povIt had been a year—twelve long, agonizing months -- since my mother began her cycle of hospital visits. In and out, one sickness after another. Some whispered she had been cursed. Others said it was karma, that the work of her hands was fighting back, punishing her for past sins.I sat quietly beside her hospital bed, watching the rise and fall of her weak chest. Her skin looked pale, almost translucent, her eyes dull and tired. I could still remember how she used to talk about my father with longing. I remembered the way she told me she loved me. Her smile, every time she left the house to meet a client, still lingered in my memory.And I remembered the night I rushed into this hospital.The scent of antiseptic and fear hit me the moment I stepped through the entrance. I was panting, my chest tight, my heart slamming violently against my ribs. The nurse at the reception desk looked up, startled."Mrs. Diana Seren," I managed to say, breathlessly. "She was brought in... she

Chapter: CHAPTER 3
I was still on the same bed from last night. Don’t tell me I slept till 1 p.m. I never sleep like this. What really happened after I passed out?Did he… did he get between my legs?I looked down at my thighs. My clothes were intact. My underwear too. I stood up, then jumped slightly, hoping I’d feel some kind of pain—something. I had seen rape scenes on TV. The girl would lie there trembling, body bruised and sore. Tears streamed down her face as she stared blankly, feeling broken and numb. Pain throbbed through her lower body, but the emotional shock hit harder,scared, ashamed, and lost, as if something precious had been stolen.But nothing like that was happening to me. I felt okay.Maybe I misinterpreted him. Maybe he’s not dangerous.After all the chaos of last night… I guess nothing happened to me.I was still deep in thought when I saw a note on the shelf behind the bed. I picked it up and opened it.Hi, by the time you’re reading this, I’m sure you’re awake. You good, right?I

Chapter: CHAPTER 2
Lily’s POVThey say life gets easier with time—that pain fades, that struggles make you stronger. But I don’t know who they are, because for me, it’s been the opposite. The older I get, the harder life becomes. And strength? It’s not something I feel. Not anymore.I’ve been going through a lot of pain and struggle, not just because my mom is a single mother, but because I was born out of rape. People call me names like daughter of a prostitute, a one-night seed, a mistake. They call my mother a prostitute, but I’ve never believed it. Even though I’ve seen many men with her, she keeps telling me not to believe what people say, that it's not true. She always says that without going into detail about what really happened. I’ve never asked—because I don’t want to open the wounds she’s still trying to heal.But even if she’s trying to move on, her past keeps hitting me… and leaving scars I never wished for.---The more I waited, the weaker I became—like a heavy load was dragging me down.

Chapter: CHAPTER 1
Lily's POVI sat in my small room, heart pounding, staring at my phone like my life depended on it. The anxiety twisting in my chest was unbearable. I kept refreshing the page, hoping my SAT result would pop up — some of my classmates had already gotten theirs.My name is Lily Serena.I had just graduated from high school, and now, I was dying inside, waiting for this result.I shouldn’t have been so worried. I was the best student in school — always at the top, the face of every competition, an ambassador, the girl with a shelf full of awards. But still, I was scared.It wasn’t about whether I passed.I knew I wrote the exam well — I crushed it.It was about something bigger.Scholarship.If I could score 1400 or higher, I had a real shot at getting a full scholarship to New York University, my dream school. Without it, I had no chance. My mom couldn’t afford NYU's fees — she could only maybe cover rent and food. The rest was up to me.And NYU wasn’t just any school. It was the schoo
