"We are here miss," said Mr Li as he packed the car outside the Young mansion.
"Oh, Thank you", Joy said as she got out of the car.Once she got a glance of the mansion, she was astonished. Even though her father was a business tycoon, he never owned a mansion as big as as this, she thought to herself.
She felt nervous, as confident as she looked she never liked first impressions.
"Can't we go back Mr Li?" She said in a low tone."Nonsense miss, the Young family has always treated me and the other house helps as there own, you will love it here",Mr Li assured her as he pulled the luggage out of the car.
" Let's go miss", Li said as he dragged the luggage to the house. Joy gave out a big sigh and followed Li.As they entered the house, they saw numerous househelps were waiting to welcome them."Welcome miss", they said in Union.

" Mom, what exactly were you thinking!" Shouted Taylor as he interrupted his mother's chat with Mrs Suinne and Alicia"Excuse me for a bit" Mrs Young said with a faint smile as she dragged Taylor away." I know it came up all of a sudden, but its for the good of everyone. Am your mother and I have to choose what's best for you my pumpkin ", Mrs Young said as she placed her arm on Taylor's cheek gently."How is it beneficial on my side! Times have changed mom. These are not the old days where you get to arrange a marriage for someone else without any approval from them", he said as he removed her arm from his cheek.

The following day Joy woke up a little earlier than usual and prepared breakfast for her and Taylor. She hoped he had woken up in a better mood and hopefully the breakfast would make him cheerful since he enjoyed her cooking. She walked slowly to his room to take his breakfast, the door opened as soon as she knocked."Hmm good morning Taylor... I made breakfast..." She said with a sweet smile on her face."Good morning Joy...am running late for work, I can't have breakfast am sorry" he said without looking at her face and left her standing there with the tray of breakfast in her hands.She felt her heart ache, it wasn't her fault his parents arranged a marriage for him so why was he being mean to her? But Taylor had been there for her even when she pushed him away. So she got an idea."Shu!" She called out as she walked downstairs,"Yes Joy.. how may I help you?""Pack this food for me, I'll take it to Taylor on my way to see Xu for the job.

"I'll see you later sunshine" he winked at Joy and walked away."How dare he" Taylor whispered, but Joy heard him and chuckled" Someone's getting a little jealous all of a sudden" said Joy with a smile on her face and her head tilted as she stared at Taylor with a huge smile on her face." I am not, I.... I... "Taylor cleared his throat and moved his neck tie as though he was trying to cool himself down."Uh-huh" giggled Joy as she walked towards Taylor teasing him and there eyes met.It felt like time stopped for awhile, both lost in thoughts, what they thought about, nobody knows, Joy suddenly interrupted the moment by opening the door behind her." Well boss, show me around", she said as she took Taylor out by the hand. Taylor felt at ease whenever he was around Joy, a simple smile lit his days. He was ok with friendship as long as he had her around, and as long as it made her fee

"Evening?.. it's already evening?" She asked confused as she looked at her watch. The man stood silently and watched her amused by her actions."Oh yes.. good evening, may I help you?" She asked smiling and started organizing her table again."My name is Luther Brando, I'm your vice. I was attending a meeting with the Zong enterprises that's why I wasn't able to welcome you here today." He said with a bright smile while stretching his hand to greet her.She felt even more embarrassed, the first impression had been ruined by her messiness."Oh yes Mr Luther, my name is Joy Benson, Taylor told me a lot about you. Please have a sit.""Please call me Luther, Mr Brando sounds a lot like my dad" he chuckled "or my grandfather if we are being technical about it." Joy was amused by his words and giggled."You look like you've had a loooong day huh." He said pointing at the messy table and Joy felt even more embarrassed and smiled shyly."Yes h

He is okay , just not as good looking as me" chucked Xu and gave her a light push."You know Joy, I might just consider doing a DNA test on this fool, I doubt he's my brother. He says the most stupid things at times." Taylor said forcing a laugh out.Joy loved there relationship, they always teased each other but she knew they loved each other even more.Five months had passed with no trouble from Taylor's mother.

Joy sighed, lost in her thoughts with a look that showed fear, sadness and confusion. She stared blankly into empty space while swinging from left to right on her office chair holding a pen lightly again her lips."Joy...Joy...hello..." Luther said almost shouting and snapping his fingers in an attempt to capture her attention once more."Yes" she finally responded, startled."I asked you a question" he paused as if to see if he still had her with him."Why do you push him away?" He asked with a smile on his face that hinted that he was both baffled and puzzled by her.She stopped swinging on her seat, fixed her gaze firmly on his face but paying no mind to the perfect white line of teeth revealed by his partially separated lips."sometimes things... People are not as they seem"Luther rapidly moved his head to the side as if to look away from her and then right back to the center to face her directly." What do you mean

" I haven't been completely honest with you Taylor... I have had feelings for you for a while now". She said as she gently placed her arm on Taylor's"I know, I sound a bit off but that's how I truly feel" Alicia's face turned red as she gave off a smile slightly looking down.This came as a surprise to Taylor and he had no words. How was he supposed to tell her he had feelings for another without breaking her heart. They both knew it was an arrangement to strengthen the business ties between their companies, which Taylor solely disapproved of, which she knew from the way he reacted at the party, but changed his mind due to his mother's persistence . At that moment they was a bit of awkward silence between them until Taylor's phone rang, it was from one of his clients. Saved by the call, Taylor excused himself, gave off a sigh as he picked up the call from the men's bathroom.After the call, Taylor looked at himself in the mirror. As he passed his fingers thr

Taylor felt like the heavens had been opened as those three words echoed in his ears. He stared at her with confused eyes, thinking it's a dream."I love you Taylor, but I can't love you" she started to cry hysterically and he hugged her"I am really worried about you Joy. What's been bothering you? Tell me, am right here" he asked in a low comforting tone. As her cheek rested upon his palm, his face turned bright red." I'm scared Taylor" she said with a shaking voice,"don't be, am right here" he gently stroked her back."That day you found me..'sob' I was raped...but that's not the heartbreaking part, My father..my own father had me kidnapped and raped..he asked those men to kill me after.."Taylor froze after hearing this, rage filled him to the core, Joy on the other hand was crying non-stop."Why would he do that.Taylor.I'm his own daughter..why....
