Sebastian’s POV

After Lily left my office, silence fell again. I walked back to the shelf, picked up my sister’s photo, and just stared. The same pain that’s haunted me for years crawled up my chest like fire. It never got easier. Some nights, I thought I’d learned to manage it, bury it under work, women, or the occasional dose of numbing medication. But it always found a way back in.

I still remember her face—sweet, innocent. Her laughter used to echo through these hallways. The day she died i

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 46

    Drey’s POVSebastian didn’t waste time.The moment I finished my report about London, he gave me another order.“Find more.”Two simple words.But I understood exactly what he meant.The Venom Crew had slipped through our hands again, and that wasn’t something Sebastian would tolerate. Not after everything that had happened. Not after everything he had lost.So I went back to work.Again.*******************I contacted Emily.At first, she ignored my calls. That alone told me she was nervous. People who have nothing to hide don’t avoid communication.But eventually, after a few persistent attempts, she picked up.Her voice was shaky.“I already told you everything I know,” she said quickly, almost defensively.“I’m aware,” I replied calmly.I leaned back in my chair, keeping my tone steady, controlled.“But I need one more thing from you.”Silence followed.I could hear her breathing from the other end.“What is it?” she asked after a moment.“Call them,” I said.She froze.“I… I don

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 45

    Drey’s POV London. The city was cold, restless, and alive in a way that never truly slept. I stepped out of the car, adjusting my coat slightly as my eyes scanned the surroundings. People moved quickly along the streets, minding their own business, unaware of the storm I was quietly chasing beneath the surface of their normal lives. Emily. That was my target. The only loose thread we had that connected us to the Venom Crew. And I intended to pull it until the truth unraveled completely. It hadn’t been easy tracking her down. She had moved locations twice within a short period, changed numbers, and kept her circle extremely small. But she made one mistake. Everyone does. Patterns. People think they’re unpredictable, but they always leave something behind habits, routines, small repeated decisions. And I was good at finding those. Very good. That was how I found her. A small café tucked away in a quieter part of the city. Not too crowded, not too empty. The kind of place

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 44

    Sebastian’s POVAfter giving my final order, I left the scene and returned to my office.The hallway was quieter now. The earlier chaos had settled, but the tension still lingered faintly in the air. Servants who crossed my path lowered their heads immediately, avoiding eye contact. The atmosphere had shifted. Order had been restored, but not without consequence.As I stepped into my office, I closed the door behind me and finally allowed myself a moment to breathe.Everything had been handled.The truth had come out. The culprits had been exposed. Punishment had been given.Everything was exactly as it should be.And yet… my thoughts weren’t on any of that.They were on Lily.I walked slowly toward my desk and sat down, leaning back slightly in my chair. My fingers tapped lightly against the armrest as her image replayed in my mind.The way she stood earlier.Despite everything she had gone through being accused, humiliated, beaten she didn’t break.She was shaken, yes. Hurt, definit

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 43

    Lily’s POVI didn’t know what to do.My mind was spinning with too many thoughts at once, and for a moment I felt like the ground beneath my feet had disappeared. Everyone in the room was staring at me, waiting for my answer, waiting for the decision that would determine what would happen to Celine and Nina.Sebastian had just handed the power to me.Me.The same girl who had just been accused of stealing.The same girl who had been beaten, insulted, and humiliated in front of everyone.Now I was the one who had to decide their punishment.The irony of it all made my chest feel tight.Voices suddenly filled the room.“Lily, please forgive them!”“Please show mercy!”“They made a mistake!”“Please don’t ruin their lives!”The other maids surrounded me, begging desperately.Some of them even looked like they were about to kneel.But their words only made the pain inside me grow stronger.Forgive them?They were asking me to forgive them?Did they even understand what had just happened t

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 42

    Lily’s POV I sat quietly in my room, staring at the floor, my mind still heavy from everything that had happened earlier. My body felt weak, and my heart was still hurting from the humiliation and accusations. Even though Sebastian said he believed me, the pain from the words everyone had thrown at me earlier still lingered. Being called a thief… being judged by everyone… it felt like a heavy stone sitting on my chest. I hugged my knees tightly as I sat on the bed. Suddenly, the door burst open. I looked up in shock. Victoria and Celine walked into my room. Before I could even stand up properly, Victoria rushed toward me. SLAP! Her hand landed hard across my face. “You shameless girl!” she shouted angrily. Before I could react, Celine grabbed my hair and pulled me down from the bed. “Thief!” she yelled. The two of them started beating me mercilessly. Slaps. Kicks. Pulling my hair. Shoving me to the ground. “You think you can steal in this house and get away with it?” Vi

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 41

    Sebastian’s POVI didn’t know where to start. Or what to do.The watch. It had been found in Lily’s bag. Every voice around me insisted she had taken it, accused her of theft, of deceit, of betrayal. Even the evidence seemed against her. And yet… I knew Lily. I had worked with her every day, watched her move through this house with integrity and quiet intelligence. She wasn’t a thief. She would never steal.The accusations bounced around my head like bullets. Victoria’s voice was sharp, Celine’s cruel, the maids echoing their outrage. And Nina… that girl’s testimony added weight to the frame. I felt my jaw tighten. Something about all of this didn’t add up.I looked at Lily, standing there, exhausted, terrified, and hurt. Her eyes wide, innocent, pleading made it impossible to believe she was guilty. My instincts screamed it, but the scene before me, the evidence, the testimonies , it was overwhelming.“Drey,” I said quietly, pulling him aside. “Check the CCTV footage. I need to see h

    Lily (POV)Sebastian’s gaze is sharp, so sharp it feels like it can cut through skin and bone. He leans back in his chair, posture relaxed, but his eyes… his eyes are unreadable. My hands won’t stop trembling, my knees press together under the table, and my heart is pounding so loudly that I am con
