Mag-log inAfter eating a poisonous, hallucination-inducing mushroom, I genuinely thought I’d woken up inside a spicy erotica novel. I was the heroine—a live-in housekeeper working for a rich heir, the kind of impossibly handsome, impossibly wealthy man who only exists in fiction. When I opened my eyes and saw him standing there, I felt… oddly disappointed. I muttered under my breath, “Only six guys? What, do I need to take Sundays off?” The heir let out a short, disbelieving laugh. A slow, dangerous one. “If I’d known you were this bold,” he said, “I wouldn’t have bothered being gentle.” The moment the hallucination faded, I grabbed his sleeve and practically burst into tears. “Honey, I’m sorry. I swear I didn’t mean any of that.” He loosened his tie with maddening calm and murmured, “Relax. No one here takes Sundays off. And if you’re that eager to follow the plot of your little erotica novel… we can start right now.”

He assumed she must be easy to impress, a spoiled rich girl with no ambition. The more she ignored him, the more determined he became.“I’m serious,” he whispered, holding out the rose like he was offering a deal. “If you date me, I can share my resources with you. I could help you climb even higher.”Before she could answer, the door swung open hard enough to rattle the hinges.A man stepped inside — tall, sharply cut features, expression icy enough to freeze the air.The actor went rigid.Daniel Hord.Wendy’s husband.Daniel let the silence stretch, his gaze sweeping over the young actor with a calm, predatory precision that made his scalp prickle.The actor had assumed Wendy was naïve and harmless.Turns out she was married to the heir of one of the most powerful families in the country.“Nice to meet you,” Daniel said, extending a lo
It took him a moment, but then the memory clicked. Yes, he had told someone on his team to handle that endorsement.He immediately started explaining, talking fast, then put the call on speaker to prove it to her.Wendy just stared.She had braced for heartbreak.She had braced for confirmation that he had moved on.She had never expected this.In an instant, the shame flushed through her — hot and overwhelming.But underneath it bloomed something else.Relief.A bright, sudden, impossible relief, like sunlight breaking through storm clouds.Daniel didn’t let the awkwardness linger.He smoothly changed the subject.“The photo’s great. How exactly do you want to run your boba place?”Her brain immediately switched tracks.This was something she loved — something she cared about — so she dove right into it, talking fast and animatedly.Upstairs, her dad practically tore his hair out.Wasn’t the whole point to help her cut ties?Why were they suddenly discussing food service manag
That night, she moved through the house like a ghost.She couldn’t sleep. Her heart hurt too much.So she decided to sneak into the cellar and steal one of her dad’s bottles — anything to numb the ache.But the moment she climbed back up with the bottle in hand, she ran straight into her father, who had come downstairs to get her mom a glass of water.He froze. His eyes widened at the sight of the bottle.Before he could even scold her, Wendy — already fragile and exhausted — broke down in loud, messy sobs.It scared him half to death.Her parents adored her. Their strictness came from love, not cruelty.Seeing her collapse like that gutted him.He wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back while she gasped through tears.“What happened, sweetheart? Tell Dad.”And she did.Everything.She told him she liked Daniel.That she had been working so hard, trying to grow up faster, only to find out he was with someone else before she even had a chance.Her father’s jaw tightened.
The adults, being considerate, drifted off to the terrace, giving the kids space.Daniel sat with her parents outside, chatting over tea. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows he could see the party inside. The lights had dimmed, the music had slowed, and everyone had started dancing like it was a mini ballroom event.Wendy had already switched partners several times.Daniel loosened his tie.He had come straight from the office.When her parents walked him out, he overheard her telling her tutor that they should buy new workbooks the next day.Later that night, he thought about it for a long time before finally calling her.Her excited voice burst through the phone the moment she picked up.He casually said that he happened to be free the next day and could go with her to pick out the workbooks.They both pretended it was no big deal, but they agreed to meet at a quiet café near her neighborhood.It felt like a secret mission.She slipped into the café’s restroom and emerged
