Derrick Luis was an arrogant billionaire. After a one night stand with his mother's favourite maid, he sent her away. Miranda Luis wanted a simple life, and to become a wealthy woman, but then, she fell in love with her arrogant boss and slept with him. After she was sent away, she realised she was having his child. Six years later, their path crossed. Derrick hadn't forgotten that sinful night. He wanted Miranda back, but will she give him another chance? What happened when he saw the little boy who resembles him and took the child away?

"Okay, Ma," Miranda replies. She is a 22-year-old fair-skinned woman, wearing a pink dress and black slippers.
She assists the other maids in preparing a birthday party for Derrick Luis. He is the only son of the Luis family, having seven older sisters.
Many guests are present in the Luis family mansion. Among them are business partners and the Luis family members, but the birthday celebrant isn't at home.
At a luxurious firm, Derrick Luis is still at his office when his mobile rings out.
"Hello, Mom," he picks up the call, and his mother replies, "Derrick, you know that today is your birthday. So where are you?"
Glancing at his wristwatch, Derrick sees it is 6 p.m. and he replies, "I am still in my office, mother."
"Come home, my son. It's your birthday, and we did many things just to have today a special moment to mark your new age at 25."
"Mom, I am not interested in birthday parties. Why can't you understand my priorities?" Derrick murmurs because his mother is getting older, so he can't blame her.
"I understand. Please come home quickly before the guests start leaving. If I had known, you would stubbornly stay up in the office until this time. I shouldn't have allowed you to go to the office today, knowing today is also your birthday."
"Mom, I cannot set work aside for a party. Who will look after Dad's company?" Derrick mutters again, and his mother responds sadly, "You are right, Derrick, but during your father's time, he did not skip home for work. He attended parties, or how do you think I met him?"
Derrick rolls his eyes at his mother's words.
"It's fine, Mom. I will be at home now," He replies, and the phone call ends.
"Controlling a multimillion-dollar company at this age, and my mother wants me to prioritize a birthday party over my work," Derrick murmurs and stands up from his office chair. He shuts down his computer and grabs his briefcase and elegantly leaves for home.
Arriving home in a brand new Prado Jeep, Derrick gets out of the vehicle and walks towards his family's mansion.
He hears the sound of music and frowns after seeing many guests' cars that are parked inside his late father's estate.
Striding forward, Derrick arrives at the mansion's frontage and rings the doorbell. A maid pulls the door open for him.
"Welcome home, Master Derrick," the maid greets him.
Derrick ignores responding to the maid's greetings as his mother walks up to welcome him.
"Welcome home, my son. Happy 25th birthday to you."
"Happy birthday to you, Master Derrick!" The guests in the living room say, toasting to the new age of the young master.
"Thank you all," Derrick replies as his gaze sweeps across everyone's faces in the living room.
He wants to walk towards the stairs to retire to his bedroom upstairs, but his mother stops him again.
"Derrick, it's still your birthday. Come and cut your cake and make a wish."
Derrick stops at the staircase and looks back at the faces of the guests. His seven older sisters are present as well as some of their company staff.
Derrick wants to protest that he is not a child and doesn't want a birthday party. However, he gulps down his protest as silence falls in the crowded living room.
Derrick approaches his cake and picks up a knife as he slices the cake into two.
The cake was placed in the center of the living room, and the guests clap, beaming happily for him.
"Happy birthday, brother," his seven older sisters cheer him, and he replies, "Thank you all."
"That's not all, Derrick. Come and make a birthday wish," His mother urges him.
"Oh, Mother. I am not a kid," Derrick finally protests, but his mother walks up to meet him as they are standing in the living room.
"No one said you're a kid, but you're still my baby, so make a wish," his mother pleads with an assuring smile.
Not wanting to make his mother sad, Derrick wishes for a long life, a happy family, and a prosperous business ahead.
"Happy birthday to you again, Master Derrick; we wish you all the best." The guests are joyous, and the merriment continues as the guests resume drinking and chatting happily.
Derrick excuses himself from the living room and goes upstairs to his bedroom of the white duplex mansion.
Meanwhile, among the maids is Miranda Luis. She has a crush on Derrick, and she's not the only maid crushing on him. But she can't take her eyes off him.
She watches him climb the stairs, openly gawking at his handsomeness.
"Too handsome for a man," Miranda says.
She has observed Derrick and saw that he's very hardworking and doesn't have time for women.
Derrick is mostly focused on his business and doesn't even have a girlfriend.
However, Miranda is aroused, dripping wet with desire to get Derrick to notice her.
She's a poor orphan girl and comes from a poor town as she grew up in an orphanage home.
After six years of serving the Luis family as a maid, Miranda wants a better life and doesn't want to return to poverty.
The Luis family are kind and allow their maids to wear any clothes they want.
There is no competition in the mansion since Lady Loretta's daughters are all married women, including Derrick's immediate older sister, Nicole Luis.
"Come on, Alexa. I want to introduce you to my only brother tonight. I fear Derrick might be gay. Why doesn't he have a girlfriend at this age? Don't you find it weird?" Nicole speaks to her best friend, since she personally invited Alexa Godwin to Derrick's 25th birthday party.
Alexa works as Derrick's secretary at the Luis firm. She can admit that she hasn't seen any young woman come to the office to visit Derrick.
"I don't think Master Derrick is gay. He's just too busy to notice any woman," Alexa replies. She wears a seductive red dress and black stiletto heels. She arrives at the Luis mansion just after Derrick left the company.
Alexa is also interested in Derrick. She wants him because she is just 22 years old. She believes that having a husband like Derrick in the future, she doesn't have to work too much or suffer to feed herself, as his family's wealth is enough to cover all her lifetime expenditures.
"Alexa, what do you think of Derrick? Do you have a crush on him? If my older sisters haven't spoken to me to introduce you to Derrick to work for him as his new secretary after my leave. Do you think I will have done that based on our friendship alone? Come on, now," Nicole grabs Alexa's left hand and leads her to the top floor, where there are no guests.
Alexa feels nervous because she has been working as Derrick's personal secretary for a year based on Nicole's influence. She hasn't dared to cross the line or tried to get Derrick's attention. He is an aloof man, and she fears what he will do to her if she dares to provoke him.
The following day, Miranda and Derrick stepped out to go for their wedding shopping, while Oliver insisted on going with them. Miranda wore a red dress that was loose-fitting, paired with black shoes, and had her blonde hair styled in a bun. Derrick wore a blue shirt and black pants, along with black shoes. Oliver wore a similar shirt design like Derrick's, along with black trousers and black shoes.They looked adorable as they walked into the big mall, browsing beautiful wedding dresses and accessories."Welcome, sir, madam. What would you like to purchase?" the sales assistant asked."Wedding gowns," Miranda said, and the young lady clad in a white top and black skirt showed Miranda the collection of wedding dresses they had."Wow, they're all pretty," Miranda smiled as she browsed through the long white gowns beautifully displayed on mannequins."Which do you prefer?" the young lady asked with a bright smile."All of them," she joked, and the sales representative laughed."Lovely!
One week later, it was a bright, sunny Sunday, and Miranda with Oliver was set to travel to the city with Derrick. She had already packed most of her essentials and delivered them to the city. What was left for her was to carry her last box, filled with her clothes and also Oliver's clothes.Most of her cars had been sent to the city as well, but she didn't intend to sell her house or close down her shop. Getting married to CEO Derrick Luis didn't mean that she should discard all her hard work.The sound of a car honking at her gate disrupted her thoughts. Wearing a pink floral dress and plain black shoes, Miranda walked out of her house and approached the black gate to find out who was there.She planned to rent the house once she completely moved out and settled in the city. She had dismissed her gate man, but the estate gatekeeper was still present.Upon reaching the gate, she pulled it open after confirming who was there."Derrick," she smiled, opening the gate for his driver to e
THE NEXT SUNDAY MORNING..Derrick was in Miranda's room, and he spoke to her about her business."Babe, you know that as we're getting married, we will need to know more about our businesses. To follow me to my company and also, make our business jointly together," Derrick said. He lay on the bed, watching Miranda brushing her teeth, as he finished speaking to her about his father's company."That's nice. There's nothing much about mine. You know, I was thinking about it. I won't be able to keep in touch with them here if I go with you. So can we open another branch in the city, while we base there?" she asked him, as she finished brushing her teeth in the bathroom."That's fine. I haven't considered that before. But we need to expand our business to more states," Derrick said.Miranda smiled and joined him on the bed after she was through brushing her teeth. She hugged him and kissed him directly on his lips."Babe, I'm discussing with you about our business, and all your focus is on
"Welcome," Miranda told Derrick as she hugged and kissed him lightly on his lips."Welcome, Dad," Oliver said, and Derrick smiled at him. "Thank you."They entered the house together and made their way to the couch."What's the delicious smell? Is your chef around?" Derrick asked about Emily, and Miranda blushed."No, Emily isn't my chef but my friend. Her mother works for me though, so I took her like my sister," she said, leading Derrick to the dining table, and he smiled as he settled on a chair beside her.Oliver took his seat beside Derrick, and Miranda stood beside Derrick and set his meal in front of them. She walked up to meet Oliver and placed his meal in front of him before she went to sit across from Derrick."How do you see the meal? It's my first time officially cooking," she blushed, observing Derrick's and Oliver's faces as they prepared to taste the food."Um, it's yummy, Mom," Oliver beams and smiled."It's nice," Derrick commented, and Miranda smiled at them and resp
When Derrick arrived in the city, he went home, getting the notification from Lady Stephanie that his mother was at home.As he arrived home, he walked into the house happily. "Mom!" Derrick rushed to meet her and hugged her.Lady Loretta sat on the couch and smiled as Derrick hugged her warmly. She knew he was in a good mood and had heard he went to meet Miranda."Welcome back, Mom," Derrick said, and his mother replied calmly, "Thank you. You look so happy. How are Miranda and Oliver doing?""They are fine, Mom," Derrick said, still smiling, and that made his mother look relieved."I am happy to hear that. It's good to see that she has forgiven you. So when did you both plan to marry?" Lady Loretta asked."Soon," Derrick said, standing up from the couch. "I will propose to her, I have lovely plans for that. So don't worry."Lady Loretta smiled, looking at Derrick's handsome face. "Okay," she agreed."I have to go upstairs and freshen up. How is your health now, Mom?" He looked at hi
Once Derrick and Oliver were in the room."Would you like to bathe?" Derrick asked his son."No, Dad. I am tired," Oliver replied and went to his bed to sleep."How do you see my room, Dad?" Oliver asked as he went to climb on his bed happily."It's beautiful and handsome like you. A typical boy's room," he replied and saw his son smile."Mom helped me to furnish it and buys a lot of game toys for me," he said, grinning from cheek to cheek."That's so sweet of her. I am sorry that I wasn't there with you before. But I promise to set up a bigger room for you in the city, okay," Derrick said as he moved over to his son's bed to meet Oliver.Oliver sat up on the bed and took off his socks."Okay, Dad," he replied and went to lay on the bed and drift to sleep.Derrick looked around his son's room, feeling guilty for being absent in his son's life. He finally walked up to cover him up with his small blanket, careful not to make any noise that would awake Oliver.After that, he turned off t
