LOGINIt’s one thing to have a family It’s another thing to have a family that cares about you And it’s something else to have a family who doesn’t give a shit about you. Unfortunately, Mia falls into the third category. After her parents died when she was seven, she lived with her Aunt Alexa until she became an adult. Now, her Aunt is tired of taking care of her and wants to sell her off. She succeeds in selling her off, but fortunately, she is bought by a sweet and handsome billionaire named Ethan Cross. Starting a new life as his maid, will Mia finally get the peaceful life she deserves? What happens when she begins to feel something strong for her nice boss?
View MoreOne Month LaterI returned home right after wrapping up things at the farm. Ethan had kept his word—he bought me a large piece of land, and construction was already underway.Initially, he wanted me to stay home until everything was ready, but I couldn't contain my excitement. I pleaded with him to let me visit today, and he agreed.When I got back, I noticed his car parked outside. He must’ve returned from the office already. I stepped out of my car, adjusting the loose, flowing gown that did a good job hiding my bump.I walked into the house, but the living room was empty.“Ethan? I’m back!” I called out, heading toward the stairs.There was Silence.‘Maybe he’s in the bathroom,’ I thought, making my way down the hallway toward our bedroom.The moment I opened the door, my jaw dropped.Rose petals were scattered across the floor and the bed. A large, heart-shaped balloon rested at the center of the mattress. Smaller red balloons floated from the ceiling, soft candlelight glowed from
~Ethan~We got back to Giulia’s apartment, and she welcomed me in gently. I took a seat on the couch, and Mia sat right beside me.“You still haven’t told me what you’re doing here, Ethan,” she said, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. “Were you stalking me?”My jaw tightened as I tilted my head a little. “Honestly…” I began, and her eyes widened. “I did stalk you—back when you first got here. Darla found out and gave me a proper reality check, so I stopped. But it’s been months, Mia… and I couldn’t shake the need to see you again. So I thought I’d show up with some flowers. That’s why I was at the mall.”I looked at her, her expression still frozen in surprise. “I’m sorry. I know it was wrong. I was just… worried about you.”Before she could respond, Giulia came out carrying a large tray. On it were ceramic plates with lids, the scent already hinting at something warm and homemade.“I made you something, Ethan,” she said, placing the tray on the small table in front of us.“You didn’t
~Mia~I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at the reflection of my adorable baby bump. It’s been five months since I found out I was pregnant—and I made it.I hadn’t reached out to Ethan, no matter how badly I’d wanted to. He hadn’t reached out either. As much as I missed him, I appreciated that he respected my need for space.In these months, I’d also discovered new sides of myself—hobbies and interests I never knew I had.“Mia,” Giulia’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. I turned, a little startled. She was holding up a crochet shirt I’d just finished. “This is beautiful,” she said, admiration in her eyes.Crocheting had become one of the things I’d grown to love during this time.“Thank you, Giulia. And thank you for taking the time to teach me,” I replied warmly.She waved off the thanks with a flick of her hand. “Tch, please. You know how much I love showing you how to make things. Honestly, I should be thanking you—for making one for me too! But tell me, who’s this shirt for?”
~Ethan~"Please tell me you’ve got everything you need on that phone," I said as I paced restlessly across the living room floor. John and Darla sat rigidly on the couch, clearly bracing themselves for whatever answer was coming next.“I managed to recover some deleted messages and emails,” he said. “Turns out she’d been in contact with this Bernard guy. And I don’t think it was just about taking Mia out of the picture—there was something else going on. Something... romantic.”My jaw tightened. I shut my eyes, shook my head slowly. “A romance with a criminal? That’s not what I want to hear,” I muttered, casting a glance at Darla, whose expression had shifted into one of growing concern and confusion.“I… I think she did it to protect you,” he added, his voice quieter now.My brows pulled together in a deep frown. “What’s that supposed to mean?” I scoffed.“Bernard and his boss were planning to come after you. Eliminate you, make sure you disappeared. She must’ve known that. I think sh
~Mia~ I stood in front of the mirror, eyes fixed on my reflection. I was wearing a sleek black silk dress with tiny straps, the one Ethan had gifted me. Around my neck, the necklace he gave me shimmered, and a dainty watch rested on my wrist, right above my black cotten glove.On the other side o
~John~I waited in the bar where Ethan and I had planned to meet, glancing at the clock as the minutes dragged on. It was starting to feel strange—Ethan was never late, not even for casual meet-ups. If something came up, he’d always text or call beforehand.“What’s holding him up?” I wondered, my s
~Mia~The night of our freshman year party was finally here, and I couldn’t wait to go all out. After the incident with Mr Cross at the pool, things— or would I just say, we haven’t been the same anymore. Sienna has been visiting constantly and they seem to be on good terms. She apologized for not be
~Ethan~ My tires screeched as I abruptly pulled up in front of the school gate. With a sharp flick, I turned off my engine and slid out of my car. I took hasty and long strides towards the gate, yanking it open in a hurry. I stood in the middle of the school compound, my gaze running through the bui
