Chapter 16: Once a Maid

Day 5/365

VICKY

It was just the fifth day, but it felt like I had been here for five months. Maybe it was the silence that i was not used to ,Or maybe it was the fact that every corner of the house reminded me that I didn’t belong here.

I sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes. The sheets were soft, expensive, the kind that would cost more than my rent, but they didn’t feel like mine, This guest room was like my room now , The house was big, cold, and lonely as always . Rue had left early , i guess because i haven’t heard his room door open.

I sighed. This arrangement, whatever it was, was already starting to wear on me , To think it’s just my 5th day here and i am already loosing it .

I needed to do something. I didn’t want to sit in this room all day waiting for him like I was a houseplant. So I got up, pulled my hair into a low bun, and threw on something light. The weather was nice, warm with a little breeze, and I remembered the gardener kept a section at the ba

    Chapter 56: That Witch Isn’t Invited To My WeddingRUE.He came in with a lawyer by his side like that was supposed to make any difference. Williams walked into my office like he wasn’t the same man who nearly strangled my to be wife a few nights ago.I didn’t even lift my head from the document I was signing. “I didn’t summon you.”“I know, sir… I just thought maybe we could talk.”I glanced up. “So talk.”His lawyer stepped forward. “Mr. Rue, my client is here in good faith. He deeply regrets…”“Save it,” I cut in. “I don’t want apologies from you. And you,” I turned my eyes to Williams. “I’m not firing you. Yet.”He looked up, his face lighting up like he’d just won a lottery.“But,” I continued, “that’s not because you don’t deserve it. It’s because the person who does get to decide that is now your superior.”He frowned. “Sir?”I smiled. “You’ll be reporting directly to your new Vice President… Vicky.”He blinked slowly. His mouth moved, but no words came out.I leaned back in

A tray was sitting neatly on my bedside table , pancakes, eggs, some fruits arranged like a flower, and the signature Rue-style hot chocolate that always hit the right spot.I sat up slowly, stretched, and reached for my phone.“Did you send breakfast to the room?” i texted The reply came almost instantly.“Yes, i did , You should resf It’s four days to our wedding, you’ll need all the strength you can get” I smiled to myself and typed back.“Hmm. Speaking of strength and purpose, is that position you mentioned at your office still open?” His reply came with a little delay. And then my phone rang.

I was saving it for you. You’ll be my Vice President, Vicky.”I smiled wide

    Chapter 54: Rue’s PovRUE.The whole ride home, she didn’t say much. She just leaned her head against the window, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag like her thoughts were louder than the silence. I kept glancing at her from the corner of my eye. That red bruise on her neck was still staring back at me, and I hated it. Hated the fact that I wasn’t there to stop it before it happened. Hated that it happened at all.When we got inside, I made her sit down on the couch and went straight for the drawer where we kept first aids and ointments . I found the ointment, i was searching for ,uncapped it, and walked back to her.“Let me see,” I said softly.She hesitated for a second, then pulled her braids to the side.I dipped my fingers in the ointment and gently dabbed it on her neck. She winced a little, and I slowed down. My eyes stayed on that bruise the whole time. I swear, if Williams had left more than that, I would’ve done more than twist his fingers—I would’ve snapped his

He kind of did—at least right now . I followed closely behind him, heart thumping like a warning drum, but the fire in my chest was burning too hot for fear to sit still.Voices were already rising from the living room. We both froze for a second, standing behind the half-wall divider. Valerie’s voice came sharp and loud.“You’ve been drinking again?! Seriously, Williams? What kind of man chooses a bottle over his family? I am pregnant! i don’t deserve this stress !”“Oh, please, Valerie,” Williams slurred, his voice defensive and cracked. “I came home, didn’t I? What more do you want?”The sheer irony made me laugh out loud. Valerie had snatched this trash from me , for her to handle , it was her trash now . Both of them turned just in time to see Rue step into the room, his eyes like loaded pistols.“Williams

What do you mean?” I laughed nervously, tucking a strand behind my ear.“Nope.” His brows drew together. “Your hair’s been in a messy bun for days. Why is it suddenly down—and why do you look like you’ve been crying?”“You’re overthinking things,” I replied with forced calm. “I was trying out a new hairstyle for the wedding, so I just…”My voice trailed off. I hadn’t even come up with a proper lie. Rue was standing inches from me now, his eyes narrowing as he scanned my face.“Wedding hairstyles? Vicky, you suck at lying,” he said bluntly.I sighed and gave in. “Fine. I’ve just been going through a lot. Everything’s been overwhelming, and I had a little meltdown. That’s why my eyes are red and swollen.”“Really?” His tone softened. “Is this still about what happened last night? I didn’t apologize properly.

He was on his knees, looking absolutely defeated—and I hadn’t even started yet. It was a satisfying sight.“Oh, Willy… you really are pathetic,” I said with a short laugh, crossing my arms. “You think this is how you win me back? Crying on your knees? I’m not that Vicky anymore—the one you could move with fake tears and sweet nothings.”He looked up, his eyes watery and face red, but I wasn’t moved.“Get up and wipe those crocodile tears. You should be preparing for what’s ahead,” I added with a smirk.And like a puppet, he obeyed. He stood up, wiped his face, and the shift in his expression was instant—like a switch had been flipped. His face was now twisted with hatred. His eyes darkened, and his jaw clenched. The speed at which he could change skin like a chameleon was impressive—and terrifying.
