CHAPTER 1

MAYA

I’ve been Atlas’s secret whore for a year now.

I always expected him to be a ruthless monster, but he’s a walking contradiction one moment he's surprisingly kind, the next he’s cold and snapping at me for no reason. Sometimes I wonder if he’s on something, or if he’s just haunted by his past.

I keep telling myself, Just one more year, Maya.

One more year and I’m free.

But if I’m honest with myself, it’s become more than just a contract. I hate that I’ve let this happen, but I’ve fallen in love with the billionaire who treats me like nothing more than a high-priced toy.

I want to demand his love, to be seen as an equal, but the rules we both signed are etched into my brain

Obey every command.

Never complain if he says kneel, you kneel.

Never, under any circumstances, fall in love.

One evening, while I was in the dining area, I overheard the maids whispering.

The name Nathalie Smith kept coming up. Unable to help myself,

I asked, “Who’s Nathalie?”

They looked at me with pure disgust, as if I were the filthiest thing they had ever seen.

Finally, one of them sneered,

“Nathalie is a world-class model in France. She was Mr. Atlas’s high school sweetheart his first and only real love.”

Another maid chimed in, her voice dripping with venom.

“I heard she’s moving back into this house. Once she’s here, a whore like you won't belong in this place anymore. You’re just a temporary distraction.”

She emphasized her point by jabbing a finger toward my face.

The humiliation snapped something inside me.

I grabbed her finger, twisting it back just enough to make her gasp.

“You have no right to call me that,” I hissed.

“You’re a maid. Know your place.”

I shoved her hand away, but she just laughed.

“I might be a maid, but at least I’ve never sold my body.”

The rage was instantaneous.

Before she could finish her sentence, I slapped her so hard her head snapped to the side.

The sound echoed through the kitchen. I’m tired of being judged.

If it wasn't for my brother’s medical bills and the debt I had to pay, I would never have agreed to be a billionaire's private secret

around nine Pm in evening, I was waiting in the library, curled up with a book but I wasn’t actually reading. tonight he probably fuck me again, but what hurts me most, that he already has a sweetheart, I'm sure when she comes, I'll be damn trash to him, now Everything is clear, I'm just a toy to him, I will never gain a space on his heart once a contract is done, I'll fucking leave this place

"You're late," I said, my voice small in the vast room.

Atlas paused, loosening his tie with a sharp tug. "I don't answer to you, Maya. Remember the contract.”

“I remember," I snapped, standing up. "I also remember that you haven't eaten. Even billionaires need fuel, or do you run on pure arrogance?"

Atlas froze. No one talked to him like that. His employees trembled his rivals plotted. But this girl from the province, with her messy hair and defiant eyes, looked at him like he was just a man. He took a step toward me, his presence looming, filling the space between us with a sudden, electric heat.

"You're bold for someone whose future depends on my signature," he whispered, pinning me against the mahogany bookshelf.

I didn’t flinch. I reached out, my fingers tentatively brushing the cold silk of his tie. "You bought my time, Atlas. You didn't buy my fear."

For a second, the mask of the ruthless CEO slipped. Atlas looked at her—really looked at her—and saw the fire that life hadn't been able to put out. He didn't see a dancer or a contract he saw a woman who was stronger than the world that had tried to break her.

The air shifted. The lust was there, thick and heavy, but underneath it, a spark of something dangerous and new ignited. He leaned down, his breath warm against my ear.

"Eat with me," he commanded, but for the first time, it sounded less like an order and more like a request.

As we sat in the dim light of the dining hall, the silence wasn't cold anymore.

He finished eating, and head towards his room

“faster, come to my room tonight” then he continued walking, I didn't response I just focus in eating, after kung kumain, I barge into his room, nagulat ako sa nakita ko did he just fantasizing me all this time, Nakita ko na hawak niya ang. picture ko while his doing man thing, “

Mr. Atlas” My voice slow, at nagulatang siya

“I swear Atlas, I didn't see anything, bu—t did you just really touching yourself while looking at my photos how long have done this” I asks my voice stammered,

“Woman, seriously why would I do that?” he countered, nasa ilalim ng kumot yung kanang kamay mo while Yung kaliwa naman hawak mo picture ko,

“Damn, woman mangumpisal kana , with such dirty mind of yours” Atlas Replied

“Gusto mo sabay tayo” sagot ko habang nakangiti.

“Okay fine it's true na tinitigan ko ang picture just to look what kind of woman I hired for sex, not to fantasized yuo”. Atlas said, hinawakan ko ang kamay niya

“di mo naman need na titigan ako sa picture, you can asks me—pictures won't answer you”.

“Take off your clothes! now” he commanded, his voice deep,

“Why” Sagot ko naman

“I wanna see your body, in front of me” agad kung hinubad ang damit ko hanggang sa wala ng matira, I was a full naked woman na parang si Eva sa unang panahon

“Are you satisfied?” I asks. his jaw clenching and teeth grinning,

“Damn you're so fucking beautiful little slave” While his fist curling against his chin, tumayo si Atlas palapit sa akin, his fingers tracing my lips, with all his force he carry me to bed,

“I want to Eat all the fucked up of you tonight”.

“I love to fuck you bitch” he said huskily before leaning forward and capture my lips in a heated kiss, I response eagerly , My body molded to his as I could feel the outline of his hard muscles, Atlas licked my lips and I opened for him, meeting his tongue against mine I let out the moan when his hands down my sides cupping my ass, I gasped

he choose the moment to break our kiss and start trailing his lips down my neck, until he reaches the sensitive spot where my neck and shoulder meet, Gently biting the area, My nails buried at his back while his hands puling my hair and tilted my head to the other side for better access. "God! Maya fuck you!" As he moaned, he lifted my one leg to hook round his hips, he continue kiss me down my chest and slowly unhooking my bra.

my nipples hardened as his tongue dipped into my cleavage and I arched my back.

He slowly trace his finger down in my clit, he rub it slowly and slowly that cause me to moan, I felt the orgasm that coming out to my pussy, he dipped his two fingers inside my pussy, I hold the pillow tightly as I said

“Fuck you! ” he kissed me back and I felt his cock into my stomach while he bite my neck, he slowly put his cock in my pussy,

“Cum for me” he drive faster and faster pull and push,

“damn fucking bitch you're pussy is so wet” but I didn't answer him I just moan to enjoy his cock playing at my pussy, it took almost and hour when we had a sex until we fell asleep as our body losses energy.

Early the next morning, Atlas was preparing for work as usual. I sat on the edge of the bed, clutching the sheets to my bare chest, my mind racing.

I wanted to find a real job something of my own but the thought of his reaction terrified me. What if he forbade me from leaving the villa?

Steeling my nerves, I finally spoke.

"Mr. Atlas?" my voice was barely a whisper.

"I’m planning to find a job."

He stopped, turning slowly to face me.

"And what kind of job do you think you're qualified for?" he asked, his voice deepening with that familiar, intimidating edge.

"Maybe as a cleaner," I replied, looking down.

"I’m an undergraduate. Cleaning is all I can really do."

He didn't respond for several long minutes.

The silence was suffocating, and I held my breath, waiting for him to snap. Instead, he simply walked toward the door.

"Go, if you wish," he said coldly, his hand on the knob.

"But make sure you don't forget your responsibilities to me."

Then, he was gone.

A wave of excitement washed over me. For the first time in a year, I was allowed to step outside the villa's gates.

For twelve months, I had been a ghost, communicating with my family only through social media while Atlas sent the money that kept them afloat.

My first stop was the hospital. The moment I saw my little brother, Leo, my heart shattered.

He was so pale, his skin cold to the touch, surrounded by the rhythmic hiss of the oxygen machine.

He slowly opened his eyes, squinting at me.

"Ate... is that you?"

The tears fell instantly.

I was overwhelmed by a crushing sense of pity and love.

He was too young to endure this much pain if I could have taken the illness into my own body to spare him, I would have done it in a heartbeat.

I grabbed his hand, pressing it against my cheek.

"Baby Leo, I missed you so much," I said, my voice cracking.

"Please, just be strong. Get better soon, and I promise I’ll fulfill every wish you’ve ever had. Please, baby... just fight."

"Where have you been, Ate?" he asked, his voice weak and stammering.

I choked back a sob. I couldn't tell him the truth. I couldn't tell him that his sister was a billionaire’s plaything, a slave to a contract. I didn't want him to carry that guilt.

"I've been working far away, my baby," I managed to say, forcing a smile through the tears.

"Everything I do, I do for you."

I could see in his eyes how much he had missed me, but I knew I couldn't stay long. I had to return to the villa.

I had to return to my responsibilities.

Because as much as I hated my life there, only Mr. Atlas had the power to extend Leo's life.

I needed his money, and that meant I belonged to him.

When Leo finally asleeps, agad ako nag-apply ng trabaho , sa isang malaking company, VV company, it is a fashion company, and according to the rumors the CEO, is never appeared on public, when there's a meeting he only sent his trustee's assistant, some rumors say, he's so fucking hot, and young, and super duper handsome, but some says he's mafia and eliminated all his enemy, that's kinda scary, but Wala naman akong kinalaman diyan, I was just a cleaner.

at first day of my job, I went to clean in an operating area, where I heard ladies chitchatting about marrying a CEO, I chuckled slightly as I listen to them, wow marrying a rich they probably a gold digger, masyado silang interested sa CEO ng VV company, di ba nila alam that Atlas Volkov is better that 1000men, he is six inches, damn. I'm pretty sure that the CEO Of this company is Impotent while I was sweeping the floor, I accidentally fell down and bump my head over the table that made the employees Startled, lumapit Sila sa akin, a long legged woman, pulled my hair, “you damn bitch, fucking clumsy” and all of them laugh and mocking me, some say

a cleaner

a country bumpkin

ugly

Tumayo ako with full of confidence at nilabanan sila,

“maybe I was a cleaner, but I never dreamed to hook with the CEO just to climb into a social ladder”, a girl named Selena, throw a slaps to me that cause me to fall over the floor, I tried to fight , But suddenly I felt dizzy that cause me to collapse.

When I woke up, I found myself lying over the white sheets and the fan rolling above, I am at the clinic, I grab a watch over my back as I look the time, damn it's almost nine Pm, Mr. Atlas magagalit yun, I rushed out outside the cleanic, I don't care if the doctor never give me result, I went into the villa, barefoot, hair messy and my face wounded, Atlas look at me with fury in his eyes, I knelt over the ground

“Mr. Atlas I'm sorry” he offered his hands to me and guided me to stand

“Tell me what happened to you”. hindi ako sumagot natakot that he would cancel the contract due to my hardheadedness, but he repeated his questions in more angrier tone

“Tell what's fucking happen”. I don't have any choice but to tell him the whole fucking truth, from the beggining to the end I detailed him,

“Working at VV company”. his voice confused,

“Yes! but I was just get bullied for being a cleaner”. he wiped my tears against his fingers, this time I saw the soft side of Mr. Atlas, not the arrogant CEO, as he uttered a promise

“No one will ever fucking to lay a hands on you, as long I'm here, I will burn the whole fucking world, if it means keeping you safe”

I don't know what happened to Mr. Atlas did he eat something bad, why he's protective now, hmmm a cold hearted to over protective that's interesting confirm he's on drugs, I murmured to myself.
