In Love Again

Present day.The loud crash of a fallen mug echoed through the Walkers' mansion early that morning, all the workers looked up for a second from their chores before they continued with their duty. They all knew in their hearts that soon the new caregiver would come downstairs with eyes brimming with tears and her bag on her shoulder, leaving the house never to come back."She lasted the longest. You know." One of the maids whispered to her colleague as she dusted the large shelf of the Walkers’ family library."That's because she has more endurance. Have you seen her when she takes his food upstairs? She's always shaking. I even heard the cook said she bawls in her free period, regretting ever choosing to be a caregiver in life." The colleague whispered back."Really? It must be hard on her. Sir Simon is just too heartless. Seeing the way he treats those poor women, I would never allow anyone in my family to ever work as a caregiver, being a maid is way better." The first maid said pa

An excited Alvira walked into the estate bright and early the next day. She was more than happy about the job. If she gave her best to the job and worked honestly, she could ask for an advance payment to restart her father's chemotherapy. She just hope the rich people's heart was as generous as the amount of money they would be paying.She knocked on the giant door that led to the main building after walking into the property for fifteen minutes undisturbed. The security men stationed at the gate had looked at her with pity and had let her in immediately, the moment she said she was the new caregiver but Alvira hadn't given it a thought, she was too excited about the new job to worry about their body language.If the worse got to worse she could just assume they were jealous of her as her pay was high and God knows they don't pay caregivers that amount anywhere.The door opened and a maid with a cleaning cloth in hand looked her up and down with a questioning look. Alvira beamed

Alvira sat on the small couch in the corridor behind the mansion replaying all that had happened earlier in her head. No matter how many times she replayed it. she just couldn't understand where she went wrong. It wasn't like they've met before. I mean if she had met him before, there was no way she could forget. He had such a strikingly handsome appearance. Then what was it?Alvira asked herself lost in her own thoughts, she had been brought down here after the encounter with Simon and practically all the maids in the mansion had gathered around her. The maids who now surrounded her gossiped about Simon, everyone telling their own version of how ruthless Simon had been to the previous care givers.Alvira looked at them and then finally understood why they were all acting weird that morning, they saw her as the next victim of Simon Walker and they all shared in the pity.The maid who had not only led her into the house but had also taken her to Simon’s room looked at her with distre

Ben and Sarah laughed loudly until tears ran down their eyes as they listened to Jared tell them the events of the day, especially what had transpired between Simon and Alvira.Even though it was shocking to hear someone act like that, it was also a great relief, at least now they have someone who could match up with the stubborn Simon, and if all things were equal, she might be able to force him out of the prison that he had turned that room into. "If we had gotten her employed here earlier, I wonder how much progress we would have made with Simon," Ben said as he wiped his tears. "That is very true sir, not only did she force Sir Simon to let others help him, she also made sure he ate the breakfast prepared by the cook," Jared explained. "Really? He ate the food Edda made?" Sarah asked with surprise. "Yes madam, he did," Jared said. "Hmmm nice," Sarah said with a nod, "when did she get off work?" she asked again. "6 pm, she left when Sir Simon had his dinner and had no other n

Life was an ass! And Simon hasn't seen anything as frustrating as his life. He had gone downstairs the night before to make sure he never saw the face of that annoying woman again, but instead, he had made her receive the approval of his family and even the servants. To say he didn't feel the celebration in the air was an understatement, he felt it so much he had gone to bed in anger, and now he was awake and was still angry. The most annoying part of this was that he had lost all the right to fire her. His grandfather had specifically stated that she would only lose the job if she chooses to quit by herself. How did it end up like this, his grandfather, even though annoying has never forced him to retain any servant against his will, not before her, so why her? Why now? It was all because of that stupid woman who cut off his land phone, if she hadn't, would he have gone downstairs? Or cause the mess that was going on right now? He should have just waited till today to fire her u
