After getting his heart mercilessly broken by a maid when he was younger, Cameron swears never to love another. But, there is something about Avery that has him crossing the lines he set. He draws a final line promising himself a marriage contract will be the only thing that binds them together. Will he be able to resist her charms? The billionaire swears to protect his fragile heart at all cost.
View MoreI have a secret that will get me fired if revealed. My boss and I are sex partners, it started with a one night stand at the club. I turned into my new place of work as a maid the next day but who would've thought that head of the home would be the same man that had me screaming out my lungs the previous night.
We ran into each other in the corridors that morning, no questions were asked, it was straight to the bed room next to take off from where we stopped. The rest has been history ever since. I think it's being up to a year now.
"You have sixty seconds to get lost." Cameron spat lifting his heavy weight off me. I quickly got out of bed and scrambled around for my clothes without saying a word to him. I'm used to him talking to me this way so it doesn't bug me.
Once I'm fully clothed again I head for the door but Cameron's voice makes me halt my steps. "Don't forget to avoid being seen, remember the day anyone finds out about us is the day you lose your job." He always makes sure to sound a warning on my way out.
"I'll keep that in mind." I say then exit the room.
Cameron Starr is the richest man in the city basically every woman's dream come true. I'm still shocked on how I was able to pull him, he's definitely out of my league. Maybe that's why he treats me like filth? On the first night we met he came to me like an angel however upon discovering that I was a maid in his house he transformed into a demon, I'm not complaining though I just wish he'd be nicer but I will take what ever I am given.
"Where do you always disappear off to at night?" My co-worker Maggie attacks me the second I walk into the bathroom.
I make sure to avoid her eyes as I stroll past, "to work out."
Maggie eyes me suspiciously while I start getting undressed in preparation for a bath.
"What's strange is that you always rush to the bathroom immediately you're back."
"What's strange about me taking a bath after working out Margaret?"
She doesn't say a word after that and simply walks away, once she's gone I fall back on the wall, my heart is racing rapidly in my chest. The thought of being caught scares me so much that I do not even want to imagine it but Maggie has her eyes on me like a hawk.
A sharp pain down my stomach causes me to fall to the floor suddenly, the pain is so intense that I almost cannot breathe. However, it doesn't last long, in a matter of seconds it is gone. What just happened? There's no time for that, Sabrina will soon come screaming. I turn on the shower and imagine that my problems are being washed away.
All the maids are queuing up at the dinning watching the Starr family enjoy breakfast, for some reason it is mandatory that we be here. On the high table is Cameron looking sexy in a black suit, his kid sister Blair is by his right with his mother Gina to the left, it's just the three of them. Cameron's father was on the news sometime ago for eloping with a young girl.
Out of the blue my stomach grumbles really loudly, everybody freezes trailing their eyes in my direction and I wish the floor would open up and swallow me in that moment. Again, the action repeats.
Gina slams her palms on the table causing everyone to flinch, she turns to Sabrina with a angry expression.
"Don't you feed your maids or what? What manner of nonsense is this, while I'm trying to eat at that."
Sabrina steps forward bowing her head apologetically, "I'm sorry madam, breakfast was served to them this morning."
I skipped breakfast because there was no to eat if I had known that my stomach would embarrass me in public like this, perhaps I would have just turned in late instead.
The old woman grabs the steak off her plate and throws in on the ground, "eat." She says to no one in particular but everyone knows who is being referred to.
"I'm sor-" I rush to apologise but I am rudely cut off.
"Aren't you hungry? I said eat!"
Tears gather in the corner of my eyes, I fall to my knees and grab the steak, the floor might be clean but the humiliation is there for all to see. Cameron does not even look my way, he is too busy tearing the meat apart with his fork and knife.
With no other option I force the meat into my mouth in one go, Gina bursts out laughing. A cold silence lingers in the air and only her sick laughter can be heard, I'm pretty sure everyone is wondering the same thing.
"This is so fun." She says wiping off a stray tear. "You must be thirsty, have a drink." My eyes widen in horror when I see her pick up the orange juice ahead and spill it on the floor, surely she isn't telling me to-
"Make sure to wipe it clean."
Before we were given the job they made us sign an NDA, I quickly found out why on the first day of work but this is the craziest Gina has ever been and, why me?
There's no way I'm wiping the floor with my tongue, I'd rather lose my job. "I can't." I say firm. Gina's smile vanished in an instant, "what did you just say?"
As I'm about to repeat myself the sharp pain from earlier returns but much stronger this time. I scream out and fall to the ground, it feels like something is pounding in my stomach, my vision sees red.
"Is this a joke?" I hear Gina say.
Some girls rush to my aid but she yells at them, "stay back!"
"No, take her to the hospital." Says a voice I recognise to be Cameron's and t
hat's the last thing I remember as my world turns pitch black.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you.” She said in a broken tone drawing closer to me but I took a step back.“I was going to tell you truth when everything is settled, believe me Avery I didn’t mean to hurt you this way.”But I couldn’t get myself to believe her a second time, “you were aware that I couldn’t remember anything yet you chose to lie to me.” I felt so betrayed that I couldn’t get myself to look at her, I had my suspicions at first but after she saved me I chose to trust her. I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an
Despite’s Kylie’s warning I find myself wanting to go with him, though I can tell he’s up to something, how else would I find out if I don’t pretend to play along? But Kylie is holding my arm preventing me from a taking a step forward, “don’t do this.” She pleads in a desperate tone, seeming anxious.I turn to Colton, “can she come along?” No doubt with her presence I would feel more safe but before Colton can utter a word Kylie refuses.“I’m not going anywhere near him,” she spat venomously, “even now my skin is crawling in disgust, let’s go Avery. It’s no use listening to him.”But even though I’d like to hear him out, after all I’ve only listened to one side of the story.“It’s not surprising that you act this way,” Colton says, “did you have fun feeding her lies? What? Afraid that I’d expose them?”“What lies?” I ask Kylie but she doesn’t respond, there’s a bitter look on her face as she avoids my gaze. It’s clear she’s keeping something from me. “I can explain,” she finally say
For the longest time possible, I restrained myself from looking back. However, it soon became unbearable, and I was forced to retract my decision much to my dismay. When I turned around Cameron was no longer behind me. I don’t know why, but this made me upset. I had no strength in me to move further.With my heart rapidly, I leaned against the wall, hoping to catch a break. I spotted two couples walking down the sideways hand in hand, jealousy clouded my vision as I struggle to look awayWhy am I so thirsty for his love? I honestly don’t understand it.I had to gather all my strength to say those words to him and right now I’m the one who is in pain although he didn’t seem to take it too well either I know a man like him won’t be heartbroken for long after all doesn’t he have a mistress back at home?Images of them in bed flash through my brain, and I could not bear the hurt. I crouched down holding on to my racing heart threatening to explode. Suddenly I found myself regretting my de
I can feel the pain in his voice, his messy appearance further adds to my strain. I want to embrace him and say all is fine but I can’t seem to move my feet, deep down I’m still upset but I find myself feeling bad for him.What is this called? No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now. I want you to leave me alone at the same time I don’t.” I say truthfully even though my heart is racing rapidly, I crave for him to be closer. As if reading my thoughts, Cameron steps forward closing the space between us. He gazes upon me softly, In that moment my world goes still and it feels like there’s only two of us under the vast sky. A tear rolls down my cheek and he wipes it off causing me to shudder, but I don’t push him away secretly enjoying it. Even though my face shows no hint of happiness, because my heart is heavy. “I didn’t realize it back then but what I did
I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth? Did Cameron really treat me that way? If truly he doesn’t love me why is he running behind me looking like a mess.Though I don’t dare to turn back I feel his eyes on my back, I know he is chasing after me. A part of me wants to stop and confront him on what I’ve heard and another part wants to keep running, too ashamed to face him. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my knees causing me to slip and fall, it doesn’t take seconds for Cameron to catch up to me. “Are you okay?” He quest
Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec
