A Maid For The Ruthless Brothers Chapter 23: The Mystery Woman
Elsie It took me three years of plotting and two years of constantly applying for a maid job to get into this mansion. And now it seemed I didn’t do enough. All my plans were falling apart. I was losing focus on the main reason I was here and I had to get back on track. I’ve lost the only evidence I have, and I needed to retrieve it. The only way to get the golden button back was to go straight to the source, Jacob’s room. My heart hadn’t stopped pounding since I woke up. I’d spent half the morning thinking of a way to get his keycard. Asking him was out of the question. The man barely looked at me these days unless it was to give orders. I was halfway down the hall when I saw him. Jacob was coming down the opposite staircase, dressed in a black T-shirt and dark sweats, his attention fixed on his phone. He looked calm, powerful, every inch the man who thought he had control over everything. I knew I needed him to leave the mansion. If I could make him step outside for a f
A Maid For The Ruthless Brothers Chapter 22 : Boundaries
Caleb The cold air in my downtown office felt like a relief after the madness of the mansion. I was supposed to be managing Lancaster Legal Holdings, keeping track of numbers and contracts, but my mind was nowhere near the latest real estate deal. It was still back on that rooftop, the night my family showed the world exactly how cruel we could be. This entire firm was built by Sarah Lancaster. She wanted her useless sons to manage it all, but how could they if all they did was ruin things? I rubbed the bridge of my nose, trying to ease the dull ache left by another sleepless night. My office was spotless and silent, but inside, I was a mess of noise. A soft knock broke the quiet. “Mr. Lancaster?” Ms. Chen, my secretary, stepped in, calm and composed as always. She carried a thick file, every inch the professional. “Sir, I’ve consolidated the reports on the Harrington Trust,” she said, setting the folder neatly on my desk. “Their defense is weaker than expected, but we’ll
A Maid For The Ruthless Brothers Chapter 21: Trapped
ElsieMy towel had gone cold around my shoulders, and my reflection in the mirror barely looked human, eyes too wide, hair tangled, dress clinging in dark patches where it hadn’t yet dried.Jacob hadn’t moved since he said it: Because I can’t seem to stop.The words hung between us like smoke, dangerous, impossible to ignore.I looked up at him. “You shouldn’t have hit him.”“I know.” His voice was rough, quieter now. “But if I saw it again, I’d do it again.”He stepped closer, slow enough for me to see the tremor in his hands. There was so much anger still in him, but something else too, something softer, almost like regret.I should’ve stepped back. Instead, I stayed still.“You can’t keep doing this,” I whispered. “Throwing punches. Dragging me away like—like I belong to you.”He exhaled, a short, tired sound. “I don’t want to own you, Elsie. I just—” He stopped, jaw tightening, words lost somewhere behind his eyes. “You get under my skin.”His fingers brushed a strand of wet hair
A Maid For The Ruthless Brothers Chapter 20: Breaking point
ElsieJacob’s hand was still clamped around my wrist when I saw Lena storm toward Zaza. Her face was white with rage, eyes glittering like glass about to break. I could hear their voices even from across the patio, sharp, slicing through the music that no one was really listening to anymore.“I cannot believe him,” Lena hissed. “He just broke a senator’s son’s nose because of her! What’s so special about that girl?”Zaza stood perfectly still, her expression unreadable, her champagne glass hanging loosely from her fingers. “She’s pretty,” she said simply.“Pretty?” Lena spat the word like poison. “A maid? You’re not actually defending her, are you? He humiliated you for her!”Zaza smiled, slow, confident, maddening. “Why would I be mad? I’m not threatened that he likes her.”Her tone was calm, but something in it made my stomach twist. That wasn’t kindness. It was curiosity, the kind that burns ants with a magnifying glass.I jerked against Jacob’s grip. “Let me go,” I snapped, yankin
A Maid For The Ruthless Brothers Chapter 19: The Party
Elsie When I stepped onto the pool deck, I knew I didn’t belong there. Everything gleamed: white marble floors, crystal glasses, soft lights glinting off perfect people in perfect clothes, and over 50 guests, all in white. It was dazzling and cruel. Soft music played in the background. Lena’s birthday party. Her kingdom. Her rules. And me? I was the mistake she’d invited on purpose. The silk dress was her idea, pale, almost see-through in the light. I’d protested when she first handed it to me. “I don’t think this is appropriate,” I’d said quietly. She just smiled that blade-thin smile. “Don’t be silly, darling. You’re here to make an impression.” Now, standing in the glare of it all, I realized the impression was supposed to be shame. The silk clung to me, every wrong curve exposed. I didn’t want to be here. I made excuses to not attend, but Mrs Chavez insisted I go and have fun. Aiden stood beside Lena, looking stiff and miserable in his spotless suit. Across t
A Maid For The Ruthless Brothers Chapter 18: Twisted Emotions
Aiden "We checked every internal camera feed, sir. There was a deliberate glitch, a momentary obscuring of the lens, on the second floor, facing Mr. Aiden's suite. Someone knows the routine, and they know the blind spots." Daron Said. He didn't look at any of us. He was a machine built for bad news. My blood ran cold. Someone had been watching. "The items left in the room were analyzed," Daron continued. "The substance on the fabric was a chemical dye, not blood. Crucially, the fabric itself is a replica. It is not the exact custom lining of Mr. Aiden's original coat, but an imitation. A perfect one." The word "imitation" felt like a bullet. Only a handful of people knew the exact texture and shade of that lining, and Caleb, who helped with the initial cover-up, was standing three feet away. He was there the night it happened. I didn’t even know how he got there. When I managed to maneuver the bike to a stop without falling, I looked back and he was standing over the victim.
