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 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!
"Miranda, get the drinks from the fridge," Lady Loretta said. She was an old woman, the lady of the house, and it was her only son's birthday."Okay, Ma," Miranda answered. As a young woman in her early twenties, Miranda wore a pink dress. It was nighttime, and they were preparing a birthday party for Derrick Luis, the only son of the Luis family. Out of seven women, Derrick happened to be the only male of his rich family.Many guests were present in the Luis family mansion. Among them were admirers, business partners, and their family members, but the birthday celebrant wasn't at home.Far away at a luxurious firm, Derrick Luis was still in his office on the fifth floor when his mobile rang. "Hello, Mother," he picked up the call, and his mother said, "Derrick, you know today is your birthday. So where are you?"Looking at his wristwatch, Derrick observed it was already past 6 p.m. He replied, "At my office, Mother.""Come home, Son. It's your birthday, and we made a lot of arrangemen
Alexa and Nicole excused themselves from the rest of the guests and went upstairs. Miranda had overheard their conversation while serving drinks to the guests. Any conversation involving Derrick always caught Miranda's attention.The top floor was off-limits. Derrick hated being disturbed, and Miranda was well aware of this. Yet, she was curious about what Alexa and Nicole intended to do on the top floor.Seeing how elegantly Alexa and Nicole looked in their beautiful dresses that swept the floor, Miranda couldn't help but feel envious. She wished she wasn't just a maid. Despite being a maid, she had managed to gain some college education, but she couldn't resign yet—not when she admired the most handsome man she had ever seen."Ouch! Watch where you're going," a guest yelled at Miranda for stepping on her toes. Miranda, caught off guard, accidentally dropped the tray she was carrying, staining the guest's dress."How dare you stain my white dress? Do you know how much this outfit cost
Lady Loretta was directing the maids to clear the used plates and empty bottles and to tidy up the living room after all the guests had left her mansion. She noticed a lady wincing in pain, struggling as she descended the staircase."Melody," Lady Loretta exclaimed, shocked to see Melody looking so disheveled, as if she had been beaten severely."What happened to you?" Lady Loretta inquired, her shock echoed by the maids in the living room who paused to gaze at Melody. They gasped at the sight of the previously arrogant woman in such a state."Milady, it was one of the maids. The maid you assigned to show me to the top floor. She attacked me," Melody managed to say, her cheeks visibly swollen."You mean Miranda did this to you? I find that hard to believe. Miranda is gentle and wouldn't hurt a fly. Ever since Miranda began working here, she's never been in a fight that I know of. Are you sure you're referring to Miranda or perhaps another maid?"While the older woman was questioning Me
After Derrick left his mother's room, he decided to return to his own room to rest. The night was chilly, and it seemed like it was going to rain soon.Derrick reflected on what his elder sister had said about dating Alexa. He liked Alexa but wanted to focus on his father's firm first and expand it to other states as well as open mini branches worldwide.Returning to his room, Derrick noticed an unfamiliar scent lingering in the air. Flipping the light switch, his deep blue eyes darkened at the sight of a lady's gown and pants on the tiled marble floor.Not only that, he heard a feminine voice humming from his bathroom. His room was vast and spacious, equipped with a study, a relaxation room, and a library for studying, alongside a private gym—a convenient alternative to the shared gym downstairs.His sisters, now married, had left his mother's home. Nicole had been around last year, but after finding her partner, she moved out following her extravagant wedding. Derrick now lived alone
Derrick hadn't expected to struggle with resisting Miranda. Her allure had awakened something deep within him. Returning to his bathroom, he wanted to relax in a bath to quell his arousal but remembered Miranda had used it.Derrick had never shared his bathroom with anyone before; now a maid of low status dared to use his bathroom and his sponge and soap. Feeling irritated, he wanted to discipline her, but how could he explain this to his mother? She was already over 70 years old. What if she had a heart attack from the shock?"No, I can't let my mother find out about this," Derrick muttered to himself. He was frustrated, still feeling his body’s demand for relief."Damn it! What kind of temptation is this? I should have that maid fired tomorrow morning. Isn't she the same one who dared to rough up Melody like that? I see she's on a mission here, and I'll deal with her personally tomorrow," Derrick resolved.Moving away from the bathroom door where he'd been standing, Derrick approache
"Oh!" Miranda rubbed her sleepy eyes, wishing she could continue her wonderful dreams. But when her big brown eyes landed on the wall clock in her room, she gasped, "Oh my goodness! 10 a.m."Although it was Saturday, Miranda knew Lady Loretta often insisted she prepare her tea and attend to her other needs.Leaping out of bed without another care in the world, Miranda quickly dashed out of her maid's room, rushing past Juliet, who shook her head in disgust.Juliet was two years older than Miranda and a single mother, though she kept this secret from the Luis family.Juliet had landed a job with the Luis family after being kicked out of her parents' home. Her parents were wealthy, but Juliet couldn't identify the man who had gotten her pregnant. Having a child out of wedlock was against her parents' standards. She had spent one night with a mysterious man and believed she would recognize him if she saw him again, but five years had passed without a sighting.He was young then, probably
