Chapter 5

Derrick hadn't thought he would be able to resist Miranda. Her hips had awakened something deep in him. After returning to his room, he wanted to take a bath to relax all his arousal, but then he remembered Miranda had used his bath.

Derrick had not shared his bathroom with anyone before; now a maid of low status dares to use his bathroom, and also his sponge and soap to her satisfaction. 

Derrick felt irritated and wanted to discipline Miranda. However would he report such news to his mother? She was already over 70 years old. What if she had a heart attack, and fainted as a result of the shock?

"No, I cannot let my mother find out about this," Derrick said. He was enraged as his member still throbbed and hurt, needing that round behind of Miranda to cool it off.

"What kind of temptation is that? I should have that maid fired tomorrow morning. Isn't she the same maid who dealt with Melody to that extent?" Derrick thought, his gaze darkened. "I see that she's on a mission here, and I will deal with her personally tomorrow."

Derrick moved away from the bathroom door where he had been standing and staring at his bathroom with irritation. He walked up to the pristine bathtub and cleansed it properly, feeling irritated that Miranda uses it.

Derrick washed out his soap and sponge, and said, "Miranda, she dares to use my properties without my permission or fear. I will deal with her."

After cleaning his bathtub, Derrick filled it with water and entered it. He remembered seeing Miranda unclothed when he opened the bathroom door.

"Oh! I should not have opened the door after hearing her voice. She had such a nice, soothing voice," Derrick thought, smiling as he loved the way she moaned, when he held her cheeks to check if her head was not hurt.

The way her skin was so soft and soothing to his touch. Despite staying inside the cold bath, Derrick did not care to mix the water with hot water to dilute the bath temperature.

"Her body was so soft and smooth to my touch. No way! I should get a girlfriend to get some release. I cannot bring myself to sleep with a maid. No way, I cannot do that."

Derrick waved off the thoughts about Miranda in the back of his mind. He finally gets out of the bathtub, after spending hours bathing.

The heavy rainfall had started covering the night sky and flooding the city roads. He stood by his room window, staring out at the downpour of the torrential rain.

He remembered that he hadn't even called his elder sisters to confirm if they had gotten home safely.

With a sigh, Derrick moved away from the room window after shutting the curtains and closing it to prevent the heavy downpour from entering his bedroom.

He saw the time was already past midnight and thought against calling his sisters, as he knew they lived a few distances away from where his family mansion.

Walking up to his exquisite bed, Derrick picked up his body lotion from his drawer to moisturized his skin and finally went into his closet to grab his robe. He donned a white night robe, and later climbed onto his lush bed to sleep.

Shutting his eyes, the memory of him holding Miranda came flooding back into his mind. The weather wasn't helping him, as he needed a warm body to keep him warm. He was also sweating, and he tossed his bedcover away while sitting up on the bed.

Derrick had not thought about having sex. He was 25-year-old, and he had fewer friends as he presumed them to be his foes.

He knew he could not trust any of them. He trusted Alexa, as she was a loyal staff member, and after working with him for a year, he had no issues with her.

"Is Alexa pretending for me to like her?" Derrick wondered. He couldn't go to a hotel to get a woman. He was not the kind of man who indulged in watching adult content either. 

He desired to have Miranda on his bed and to pleasure her, and with the way his body was reacting crazily to that thought, he wanted to get Miranda ASAP.

Derrick groaned and left his bedroom for his study to busy himself, since he couldn't sleep or think of anything else, except Miranda's nude body that he had seen.

Meanwhile, Miranda returned to her maid's room on the first floor of the mansion. 

She was feeling sad after remembering how Derrick made it clear to her that she was of lower status, and he had nothing to do with her.

Miranda thought that after Derrick had seen her body, he would take her to bed.

"Oh! What was I even thinking? What if Master Derrick sent me away tomorrow? Oh my God! I haven't even saved enough to start up the business that I want."

Miranda remembers her first salary since working in the Luis mansion after her graduation from college.

 She used the money they paid her monthly to offer to the orphanage home. 

Later, she used the rest of her salary that she had gathered to purchase land in a distant land. 

She wanted to own a mall—a big supermarket in her name—where she would be selling varieties of items.

That was five years ago, and she had an agent who was enabling her to build the mall to her taste. 

She had not even gone to the area after purchasing the land, but she heard from the agent that many contractors had contacted him to resell the land to them, and they wanted to build another company there.

Miranda heard the land areas had developed, and a company was offering to pay her ten million dollars to resell her land to them, as the land beside the road and in the heart of the town.

The town had developed compared to five years before that Miranda purchased it. 

Miranda wanted to use the land. She planned to relocate to the area after she was through building it and establishing herself. She wouldn't remain a servant, and she hoped for a wonderful man to marry her.

Wiping her sobs away, Miranda strode up to her room window to close it after the heavy wind had pushed her curtains away. 

The Luis family members were kind and allowed the maids to have separate rooms in the magnificent home.

Miranda stripped off her dirty pink dress after she was done closing the window. She tried not to think about Master Derrick again, even though her heart yearns to be with him. 

She decided to focus on her job and on saving enough money to establish herself.

"Maybe two years from now. I will be through with my services here as a maid, then I will move to the other town to start up my business," Miranda thought.

A satisfactory smile curled up her lips as she envisioned a life where she would be referred to as Madam. 

She would have prayed for a man to elevate her status, but, knowing how prideful men were, Miranda decided to become as prideful as them and as arrogant as she might be when she acquired so much wealth.

When morning arrived, Miranda was sleeping under the bed covers when the supreme maid, Juliet Colton, barged into the room and tapped on her shoulder roughly to wake her up.

"Miranda! Wake up! Lady Loretta summoned you into the living room," Juliet said.
