I looked at my reflection in the full-length mirror in my room. The room's theme was lavender, as that was the color of the walls and the curtains—actually, everything. I wondered if my grandma had told grandma A about my favorite color, or if it was just a coincidence.

As I looked at the mirror my eyes were surrounded by dark circles, like someone had punched me. Ugh, why do I have to have these black eyes? Actually, I couldn't sleep last night, so this was the result today. It's also because of my stomachs too.

I checked my wristwatch, and it was already 4:30 in the morning. I woke up early to start my work so I could finish it early. Grandma A never mentioned what my work was, so I would figure it out myself, even though I was scared of getting lost here.

After I took a bath, I put some concealer on my black eyes and started to walk down in the massive, long hallway. I really really did remember where my room was, so I wouldn't get lost. I don't want to sleep in the living room, it would be more shameless if it happens.

Since I didn't have a maid's uniform, I was wearing my regular clothes. I glanced at my wristwatch again, and it was already 5:30 a.m.

"Heck, I need to prepare for Lola Anghelita's breakfast!"

But how could I find the kitchen? I forgot to ask grandma for

map of the house yesterday. I would definitely ask for it later.

I tried my best to look for the kitchen, but I ended up doing nothing, just wandering around in the mansion.

Ugh, I'm already tired, and it's 6:45 a.m., and I still can't find the kitchen, and I haven't even seen any maids here.

I stay for a while in the living room, wiping the sweat from my forehead. Why did they plan to make this kind of huge house? If I will be given to choose if I'll make this kind of massive house, I prefer no. I don't want to torture myself everyday.

"WHAT THE HECK YOU'RE STANDING AT MY WAY!?"

I almost jumped in shock when I heard someone cursing behind me. I slowly turned to see who it was, and my mouth dropped open when I saw this handsome guy standing in front of me, wearing a business suit and with messy hair that suits him, he looks like anime on his hair. But my mouth turned into a straight line when I saw his serious stare at me like he wanted to wipe me out on his sight.

Ack? why so snappish?

"Who the hell are you? Are you the new maid? If you are, then who the heck hired you? and didn't they tell you not to block my way?" he said angrily, looking like he was about to explode.

"Why are you so snappish in this so early in the morning sir? Try having some coffee first, cause it can help it to calm your nerves. And yeah, I'm your new maid here, and even if I'm just a maid sir, could you at least respect me—us? We're also human beings, Mr.Mcgrumperson." I retorted, raising my eyebrow.

"The heck are you talking about? tsk, nevermind I'm too tired to argue with some people like you." He said sleepless. He walked past me, bumping my shoulder on purpose, I knew he did that on purpose!.

What a mean guy, Take this!

I grabbed a throw pillow from the couch and threw it straight at him, hitting him on the head.

He stopped and turned around, his eyes burning red. Ow shit, wrong moved.

"WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM, MAID?!" His voice echoed through the mansion, making my heart beat fast. I froze, every instinct screaming at me to run. But instead, I just stood here unable to move.

He grabbed the collar of my t-shirt, yanking me forward until our faces were inches apart. I could practically feel the heat radiating off him. His grip was like a vise.

"Who the hell do you think you are, doing that to me?!" he snarled, his voice low and dangerous. Crap. He's going to kill me.

He slammed me back against the wall, the impact knocking the wind out of me. My head throbbed. Was this guy for real? Such an ill-tempered jerk!

"Go kill me," I taunted, plastering on a sarcastic smile despite the fear clawing at my throat. I watched his face darken, the veins in his neck bulging. He looked like he was about to explode in anger.

"OH MY GOD! KAIZER, STOP IT!" Ackk! you're just in time grandma! grandma A voice shattered the tense silence, and the pressure on my collar vanished as he released me.

So kaizer is his name? Tsk It suits him Crazier!

Grandma hurriedly approached me and checked to see if I was hurt. She sighed in relief when she confirmed that he hadn't hurt me. But she didn't know that I nearly died from the pressure of her grandchild's grip, his hand on my collar was so tight, it was like cutting off my air.

"Kai—" grandma stopped when she saw Kaizer walking up the stairs, presumably to his room, with both hands in his slack pockets.

"My apologies for what my grandchild did to you, Samantha," She apologized, as if she was used to her grandchild acting like that.

I didn't let him out of my sight until he reached his room, which was next to mine. Wow? How incredible it is, It's just one step to be with that Mcgrumperson.

"He's been like that since he graduated from college, and I'm used to it.And" she paused and held my both hands,"If you can just ignore him, please do, okay?" Eh? Why grandma acting like that? It seems like he feels sorry for him, I'm being curious now if what's the story behind her grandchild.

"Grandma, if you don't mind, may I ask why he's like that?" I asked curiously.

Lola just sighed and sat on the couch.

"I don't know. All I know is that one night he came home really drunk, mumbling something we couldn't understand, and the next day, he became like that, always quick-tempered." Even though grandma didn't outwardly show that she was sad for her grandchild, I could still feel it in her voice.

Ugh, I scratched my head as I remembered what I was supposed to do. First day of work, and I didn't do my job well. Ack First day, First Fail.

"Grandma, I'd like to apologize as well," I paused, she glanced at me with a furrowed brow.

"Why, Samantha?" she asked curiously.

"I haven't cooked your breakfast yet." I said it shyly, I heard she giggle, and my shyness increased to 100%.

"Come on, Sammy, who told you to cook breakfast?" she asked while laughing.

'Ugh, grandma, I was sent here, so of course I will automatically work here,' I wanted to say, but I was too shy.

"Is it because they sent you here, so it means you need to work?!" Now she's a lil'bet serious, and I think she can really read my mind!

I nodded.

"To clarify, Sammy girl, you weren't sent here to work. You were sent here because your lovely grandma facita wants you to have a life that you deserve, the life she wants for you."

A life that I deserve to have, life she wants for me?!

She stood up and put her arm around my shoulders. "Let's go, let's eat breakfast together, Stop Overthinking." She guided me toward the dining area, and I was still puzzled by what she said. My grandma sent me here for the life that I deserve? She wants, What did she mean by that?.

"Don't think too much of a sammy girl. Let's eat first, and we'll have our house tour later, so in that case you won't get lost." She said jokingly, Wow, grandma thank you for that, it makes me cry.

    Samantha POV "Is she already home?" I froze as I heard Kaizer's voice in the garage. Who was he talking to? Who did he mean by "she"? I ducked behind a large bush near the fountain, silently watching him. He was dressed casually. So he didn't have any business today. I checked my watch. It was already midnight. Ack, this was Ryuji's fault. He'd gotten me drunk just to pry out my feelings for this infuriating man who was now standing in front of his car. "Fuck," he cursed, then hurried to his car and drove off. I stepped out from behind the bush, watching his car until it disappeared through the main gate. What did he mean by "she?" Was he referring to me? Ugh, I rolled my eyes and slapped my face to snap myself out of it. I was daydreaming again. I took a deep breath and started walking towards the main door. But as I reached for the handle, my phone rang. Klarrise's name flashed on the screen. Oh my god, I'd forgotten she was here in Manila. I'd been so preoccupied with my fee

    Third Person POV"He's already met her," my assistant said, suddenly appearing beside me.I sighed and glanced at my tablet. "Let him do whatever he wants," I said, trying to sound indifferent. But the truth was, a small part of me was curious, maybe even a little jealous.We are separated now. What was the point in caring?"When do you want to approach her?" she added, causing my thoughts to drift back to Samantha. It had been a year since I'd last seen her. “I don’t know.” I don’t know her reactions. I’m scared."It's just a suggestion," she said, sensing my hesitation. "You should really start to reach out to her. Start to make up for everything you did for her."Her words struck a chord.I promised myself that when the time came, I would do everything in my power to earn her forgiveness.Mrs. Katarina Chuena POV"She's really pretty, Mom," I couldn't help but gush after meeting Samantha earlier. She seemed like such a sweet, genuine girl. "Yeah, definitely better than Akisha," Mom

    Ryuji escorted me back to the mansion and after that he left, saying he had important things to do. I waved goodbye to him until his car was out of my sight.I took a deep breath before entering the Chuena family's gates."Good Evening, Mrs. Chuena," the guard greeted me. I smiled and returned the greeting to him.Walking slowly to the main door, while I wondered where kazier had gone and why he hadn't called me again after that yesterday.As I entered the door, the sweet ambiance of the house hit me.I went straight to my room and changed clothes, cause I feel like it suffocates me while wearing this sexy dress.After changing, I went to bed, feeling like my body had been tortured.I need to sleep to rest my inner body.In the morning, I got up early and took a bath. Grandma had said Kaizer's parents would be home today, finally, I'd meet them.After bathing, I put on simple makeup and a formal dress.

    Samantha POVWe arrived at the restaurant where the dinner party was being held. We were still inside Ryuji's car, and I was hesitant to get out. Ackk! I needed to protect my dignity. What if... Ackk! What did I even care about that stupid engagement? Kaizer certainly didn't give a damn about it.I checked my face in the small mirror I carried and took a deep breath. "Let's go!" I said to Ryuji, who was currently looking out the window at the restaurant, where other guests seemed to be arriving.The restaurant was huge, perfect for large gatherings. It gave me a chance to have second thoughts about the what ifs."Are you sure about this? You might get anxious again," he said, his voice hesitant. Am I really sure?"I said, let's go!" He just nodded and got out of the car to come around to my side and open the door for me. I took his hand and stepped out of the car."I'm nervous!" I said to him, and I heard him laugh softly. That made me even more furious about him. "You're damn sexy, S

    "Fuck!" I cursed, jolting awake from that nightmare of mine. Shit, what was that?My gaze landed on the mirror in front of me. I was drenched in sweat! I was wearing the dress Ryuji had given me, but how could I have had such a dream? And Paulo? What did it all mean?"Hey, people!" Ryuji's voice boomed as he burst through the condo door, winking at me. But his brow furrowed when he saw the expression on my face."What's wrong with you?" he asked, walking towards me. "You're sweating like crazy! But it doesn't detract from how beautiful and elegant you look in that dress!"I rolled my eyes at his cheesy line and ignored him, focusing on retouching my makeup and burying that dream deep in my mind."Stand up!" he said again, prompting me. I glanced at him, giving him my 'don't-you-dare-tease-me' look. He pouted, looking like a little girl throwing a tantrum."You're so dramatic, Mr. Ledezma!" I exclaimed.Okay, now let's switch to Ryuji's POV:Ryuji POVDamn, Samantha looked like a godde

    I'll go home early to my condo because Ryuji texted me that the dress I will wear tomorrow will be delivered here.As soon as I reached my floor unit, I saw the big golden paper bag in front of my door. I walked towards it, picked it up, and immediately went inside so I could change and cook dinner.I put the paper bag that Ryuji sent me on my bed first. I'll open it tomorrow; it probably won't get crumpled, right?After I cooked dinner, my phone suddenly rang. I was confused by the unknown number calling right now. I was hesitant whether to answer it or not; it might be just anyone.I just let it ring until it stopped, but when it rang again, ackk, what the hell is their problem?I angrily answered the call and listened to the voice of whoever was calling."Where are you?" Wait, why is my heart pounding before answering this man's question? Where did he get my number? "Are you going to speak or not?" he added.I looked at my face in the mirror because I felt his judgmental eyes looki
