~Mia~

I walked down the school hallway with my head lowered, trying to hide the pain I was feeling. The last thing I wanted to do was to pull attention to myself.

“What is it with that scarf? A change of style?” I heard Charles’ voice as I approached the door. I raised my head and saw him standing near the door.

“Charles,” I called with a hint of disappointment. I wanted him to be in class already so we wouldn’t have to discuss what had gone down in the morning. “What are you doing out here?” I asked, and all of a sudden, he grabbed my arm and began to pull me away from the door.

“What are you doing?” I asked in shock as I followed behind him helplessly.

“The lecturer won’t let you in the class again. You’re twenty minutes late.” He uttered as he dragged me into another empty class, not so far from where the lecture was being held.

“You weren’t able to get in too?” I asked, my eyes searched his face as he stared at me.

“I wasn’t because I got here late too. You know, the delay

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   A blessing

    MiaEvening had draped itself across the sky, painting the mountains in a hue of fire and gold. I sat outside the house, knees drawn to my chest, staring blankly at the sun as it dipped behind the peaks. My fingers trembled around the pregnancy test Giulia had handed me—two red lines, unmistakably positive.The truth was in my hands, but my mind was somewhere else entirely.“Hey.” Giulia’s voice cut through the silence like a soft blade. I turned my head slowly, blinking back to the present. She walked over and eased down beside me, her presence grounding—but barely.“Hi,” I murmured, managing a hollow smile.She chuckled lightly, though there was a flicker of concern in her eyes as she studied me. “How are you holding up?”I inhaled sharply, eyes returning to the horizon. “I don’t know, Giulia. Everything feels… unreal.” My voice cracked around the edges. “You know what’s insane? I lied about being pregnant just two days ago—and now… now it’s real. Maybe I jinxed myself. Maybe I sho

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   Karma

    ~Sienna~I drove down our street, heart pounding with a mix of excitement and wicked satisfaction. Everything was falling into place—my plan had worked. Perfectly. Mia? Gone. Bernard? Cut off completely. No more dead weight. No more distractions.Now, all that was left was to play it cool—bide my time, keep my guilt tucked away, and slip back into Ethan’s arms like nothing ever happened. Easy.Music pulsed through the car speakers, my fingers tapping the steering wheel in rhythm. I was practically glowing—until the car gave a sudden, violent jerk.“What the hell?” I muttered, tightening my grip as I eased the car to the side of the road. The dashboard lights blinked at me like an omen. “Oh, come on! Not now—I’m already running late for work!”I climbed out, still hoping it was something minor. But the second I crouched down, my stomach sank.The back tyre was flat.I blinked, rubbed my eyes, and looked again. It was Slashed. A clean, deliberate cut sliced through the rubber like a war

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   Pregnant

    ~Mia~Soon, the car rolled to a stop in front of a house that looked anything but modern—secluded, worn, and quietly tucked away from the bustle of the city. I stepped out and glanced around, realizing he hadn’t exaggerated—this place was truly peaceful.Behind the house, towering mountains stood like silent guardians. I could hear the gentle rush of a nearby river and the melodic chirping of birds in the trees.It was… perfect. Exactly the kind of calm I didn’t know I needed.“Come on,” Aleandro said with a bright smile as he stepped out and reached for my bags.“Thanks,” I murmured, returning his smile softly and following him, my eyes flicking around, soaking it all in.The house, though clearly aged, was spotless. The furniture and decor were outdated, no doubt, but they carried a charm that made them feel oddly comforting.“Honey?!” Aleandro called as he pushed open the front door and set the bags inside. Before he could even straighten up, a woman burst out from one of the rooms

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   A plan

    ~Ethan~I got to John’s place and let myself in—he’d told me to—then made my way to the living room. There he was, cozied up on the couch with Darla. They looked snug, but the vibe felt...off. A little tense.“Heyyy, dude,” John greeted, flashing a big grin as I approached.“Hey,” I replied, trying to match his energy. “Hi, Darla,” I added, turning to her. She beamed.“Ethan! Hi. You look nice,” she said warmly.I let out a short scoff, rolling my eyes. “This is what I wear every day—nothing special.” Then I softened a bit. “But thanks,” I added, and she gave a small nod.I took a seat on the couch opposite them, and Darla stood up. “I’ll get you some water,” she offered. I gave her a brief nod as she walked off.Once she was out of earshot, John looked me over, his brows pulling together. “You don’t exactly look like someone who’s happy about finding his girlfriend. What’s going on?” he asked.I clenched my jaw, fingers laced tightly. “She came back home... then left again,” I s

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   Journey to self-discovery

    ~Mia~I dragged my bags out of the house, and with every few steps I took, I couldn’t help glancing back at Ethan. He stood at the door, waving endlessly, sadness clouding his eyes.My Uber was already on its way to L’Aquila—a city about two hours from Rome. Just far enough to feel like a new beginning, yet close enough to home… because no matter where I went, my heart wasn’t ready to let go of Ethan.I offered him a faint smile as the driver packed my bags into the car and held the door open for me. I blew Ethan a kiss, my throat tightening as fresh tears welled up.“I love you, Mia!” he shouted.I let out a shaky laugh as the tears finally spilled over. “I love you too!” I called back, climbing into the car.I rolled the window up and leaned my head against the glass, letting the sobs take over.I didn’t want him to see me break down. Even though I knew I needed this distance, it still hurt like hell. The truth was, I’d never imagined my life without Ethan. But maybe… that was exact

  • The Billionaire’s Curvy Maid   For the best

    ~Ethan~I let out a heavy sigh and shook my head. “So you’re saying Sienna’s the one behind all this?” I asked, my voice laced with disbelief. She exhaled slowly, nodding faintly.“He never came out and said it, but my gut tells me it’s her. The sudden shift, all the things she’s done—it all adds up now. She’s been laying the groundwork this whole time so no one would suspect her.”“I had a feeling it was too good to be true,” I muttered. “But we’ll need more than intuition if we’re going to bring her down. Your word won’t be enough—we need concrete evidence that she and Bernard worked together to orchestrate your kidnapping.” I gave her hand a firm squeeze.She fell silent, her gaze distant. “I’m sorry you’re caught up in all of this because of me, Mia. I hate that I wasn’t there to protect you. I hate what almost happened to you…”“This isn’t on you,” she cut in gently, turning toward me. Her hand cradled my face, fingertips trailing lightly across my skin. My eyes drifted shut, lea
