DREY’S POV

I stood silently just outside the office, my shoulders pressed lightly against the wall, every nerve in my body alert. The heavy oak door loomed before me, a barrier between the world and the storm brewing inside. I could hear the faintest scrape of movement, a shift in the air that spoke louder than words. Sebastian was not himself—he never truly had been since that day—but today, the darkness in him felt sharper, closer, almost tangible.

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 38

    Drey’s POVI had always been the observer. The one who noticed when others were too busy performing or pretending to be someone they were not. In this house, that skill had become sharper than ever. People were careless around Sebastian, and some underestimated Lily. I never did.It had started with a simple observation. Sebastian had changed. Not in big, obvious ways. He still carried the calm authority, the cold glare that kept most people at bay. But Lily had done something no one else ever could. She had softened him. Subtly. Quietly. And I had watched it happen.He looked at her differently now. Not like a boss looks at an employee. Not even like a man looks at a woman. It was something more difficult to describe, something dangerous. It was fascination, attention, and a strange kind of affection. He noticed her small gestures, the way she spoke without pretense, the way she moved through the house without fear yet without demanding anything. That attention made her glow in ways

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 37

    Sebastian’s POVI had always believed that anger was my strongest shield. It kept people at a distance and protected me from disappointment. It made sure no one stayed long enough to see what I carried inside. Yet lately that shield had begun to crack, not because someone challenged it, but because someone ignored it completely.Lily did not fear my silence. She did not tremble when my voice hardened. She did not rush to please me. She simply did her work and carried herself with a calm that unsettled me more than rebellion ever could. It was as if she understood that storms eventually pass, and there was no need to scream at the sky while waiting.That afternoon, when she arrived late to my office, I decided to pretend I was angry. Not because I truly was, but because I needed to see how she would react. I wanted to know if her calm was real or just temporary courage that would fade under pressure. I had tested many people before, and they always failed.She stood before me, hands cl

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 36

    Victoria’s POVI saw them before I even realized I was looking.Sebastian was standing near his desk, calm, relaxed, not the cold man everyone feared. And Lily was there. Too close. Too comfortable. She was speaking, and he was listening. Really listening. His eyes were soft, focused on her, as if nothing else in the world mattered at that moment.My chest tightened.That look on his face was not meant for her.It was meant for me.I stood frozen, my nails digging into my palms as memories flooded my mind. All the times I tried to speak to him and he brushed me aside. All the times I stood near him and he barely noticed. Yet here she was, standing in his space, breathing his air, touching something in him I never could.And the worst part was not just Sebastian.It was the people watching.I saw the servants whispering. I saw the way they smiled at Lily when she passed. I heard the murmurs. How she calmed him down. How brave she was. How Sebastian’s mother thanked her personally. How

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 35

    Lily’s POVI took a deep breath as I stepped into Sebastian’s office. My hands were slightly trembling, and I forced myself to smile. I had been gone for over two hours, visiting my mom and helping her feel better, but now I couldn’t help thinking I had gotten myself into trouble for being late.“I’m sorry, sir,” I said quickly. “I was busy, and I hope I didn’t”“You came late,” Sebastian interrupted, his voice firm but controlled. There was a slight edge to it, just enough to make my heart skip a beat. “Do you know how long I waited?”“Yes, sir,” I murmured, bowing my head slightly. My stomach felt tight. I had imagined this moment a thousand times in my mind, and now it was happening. I had been late, and I was sure I was about to be scolded.He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms, and stared at me. For a second, I thought I saw something like amusement flicker in his dark eyes, but I wasn’t sure. “Well, at least you’re here now,” he said finally, as if reluctantly forgiving

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 34

    Lily’s POVI don’t know what exactly Sebastian was thinking when he handed me his card, telling me to buy something for my mom. Maybe it was just a whim, or maybe he genuinely cared. Regardless, I decided to count it as a blessing. I tucked the card carefully into my purse, my fingers brushing over the smooth plastic, and couldn’t help but wonder about the strange mix of anger, intensity, and…something softer that always lingered around him.Drey and I were already seated in the car, the engine humming quietly as we drove through the familiar streets toward my mom’s hospital. The city lights reflected off the windscreen, a blur of yellow and white, but my mind was elsewhere, replaying Sebastian’s words.“I just want to say thank you so much for what you did,” Drey said, his voice breaking through my thoughts. “I really appreciate it, Lily.”“What did I do?” I asked, turning to him with a puzzled look. “What exactly did I do?”Drey smiled, leaning slightly forward in the passenger seat

  • FROM HIS MAID TO HIS QUEEN    Chapter 33

    Sebastian’s pov Darkness wrapped around me like cold hands, pressing against my chest, suffocating me, dragging me down into a pit I had long learned to fear. I didn’t know if I was standing, falling, or drowning. My mind was a storm of screaming echoes. Voices I had tried to forget clawed at me ,some pleading, some accusing. “Sebastian… run.” “Why didn’t you protect us?” “Save yourself…” And then I saw her—Avery.Ten years old. Her small hands clutching her teddy bear, smiling up at me. Her smile twisted into terror in an instant. Shadows of men I couldn’t fight, screams I couldn’t stop, her cries breaking me into pieces again. I tried to reach her… I tried to save her… but I was small, powerless, helpless. Then her voice faded into another, a softer voice—warm, grounding, familiar: “Sebastian… come back.” It was Lily. Her presence cut through the darkness like sunlight through storm clouds. She was gentle, patient, pulling me from the edge of myself. I tried to gra
