Dark smiled at Roxane’s movements.

There was a strange amusement blossoming in his chest as he watched her—clearly uneasy, yet trying so hard to keep her posture, even though her every gesture screamed how new she was to that kind of environment.

He also noticed how all attention was drawn to his personal maid, who had been standing awkwardly on the elegant red carpet of Vellamonte Designer Corp.

There were whispers, stifled laughs, and some weren’t even subtle with their stares—like they were wondering what a simple girl like her was doing among such glamorous personalities.

Dark could feel the tension in the air… and instead of being bothered, it only entertained him even more.

There was a certain joy in watching Roxane look like a lost lamb surrounded by lions.

“That’s why I like you,” he murmured softly—almost a whisper—a smile tugging at his lips and admiration gleaming in his eyes.

“Miss Herme—” Dark was about to call her, but his voice was abruptly cut off when a woman s

  • The Maid Who Was Trapped by The Billionaire   Chapter 23

    The meeting at Vellamonte Corporation ended without even the slightest hint of a smile on Dark’s face. His jaw was tight, his brows drawn in deep frustration, and tension clung to his entire body. One by one, the board members left—people who both feared and respected the Vellamonte name—yet now, Dark felt like he didn’t even want to hear that surname spoken around him. Inside the conference room, only his father and Carrissa Guerrero remained—still seated, still calm, still wearing that practiced, confident smile. Outside, the family bodyguards and several household staff waited—including Roxane, who looked nervous as she secretly peeked inside. “What’s the meaning of this, Papa?!” Dark burst out, his voice echoing sharply in the quiet room. He shook his head in irritation, his fists tightly clenched. “What kind of nonsense is this?! Mama and I talked about my marriage—just plans! Why did you have to jump ahead of everything?! And why Carrissa?!” His father didn’t even flinch. In

    “Hey, Maxine… what now?! Tell me who told you that—and how you even know that word?! Because even I—yes, even I—don’t know anything about that!” (While Carrissa listens quietly from a corner, unseen by everyone.) Roxane grabs her waist, trembling with a mix of fear and irritation as she glares at Maxine, as if she wants to dig out the woman’s entire soul. What Roxane doesn’t know… is that a pair of eyes is silently watching from behind the door. Dark. His hand rests on the doorknob. He was about to open it earlier when Roxane’s shout echoed through the room. He froze—not because of fear, but because of Maxine’s next words. “Does Miss Hermenez really not remember what happened between us in the elevator that night?” It hits Dark like electricity. He closes his eyes, and slowly— the exact scene returns to him. FLASHBACK A night thick with tension, the elevator becoming a world of its own. Roxane, leaning against the cold metal wall— and Dark, pressing against her, kissing

    "How can you say that to me, Dark?! Don’t you know my family?! I’m a famous model— and not just any model—" Psssst. Dark hissed sharply at Carrissa to shut her up. "You don’t need to remind me who you are or what your status is in the industry. I don’t care. All I want is for you to leave our house… because I will never agree to marry someone I don’t love. And especially not a woman who—" Dark suddenly stopped speaking. Roxane had lost her balance again at the doorway while peeking in, and Dark’s eyes immediately darted to her. His lips pressed tightly together, as if the words he wanted to say could no longer come out. "I—I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to listen to your conversation…" Roxane said timidly, gripping the doorframe as if she wanted to disappear from the embarrassing moment. "I’ll go now, Sir Dark. I came back only to say goodbye…" "Noooo!" Dark shouted, his voice full of anger and desperation. "You can’t leave until your work hours are done. If anyone needs to leave, i

    "Uhmm… that’s not a funny joke, Mr. Dark. No matter what, I’m still your future wife, not that maid!" Carrissa snapped, cheeks burning—not only with anger but with humiliation. She clutched her expensive bag tightly, as if she wanted to throw it at the man in front of her. Dark’s brows furrowed again. His gaze sharpened, his voice turning cold as ice when he spoke. "Don’t tell me what to do if you don’t want to embarrass yourself again in front of other people," he warned, his tone cutting. A silence followed—tense, suffocating, almost deafening. Dark suddenly turned his back. His tone changed—gentler, yet every word cut into Carrissa’s pride like a blade. "Get out of my room. You’re ruining the moment." Carrissa squeezed her eyes shut at the sting of those words. Rage twisted inside her, but she kept silent. She spun around sharply, her footsteps heavy with humiliation as she left the room. "This isn’t over," she muttered to herself as she slammed the door shut. When she open

    Roxane froze in shock. “Oh my gosh! Sir is dreaming again!” she whispered as she peeked from the side of the bed. “Wow, that’s intense… like a teleserye with an Aegis theme song.” Her eyes widened. “The woman in his dream is hot though. Oof! Probably has abs too—like me, but reversed. And the way Sir is reacting, it’s like he got left at the altar!” While she was rambling, Sir Dark still wasn’t moving. Eyes closed, sweating, lost in his own world. “Don’t leave me…” he whispered, lips trembling softly. Roxane stepped back. “Dear Lord, maybe he’s talking to a ghost!” But because she was a trained maid (and a little curious), she approached and touched her boss’s arm. “Sir… wake up. It’s seven a.m. You have a meeting—and you smell like a literal dream.” Dark suddenly pulled her in! “AAAHHHHHH!!!” she screamed as she fell straight on top of Sir. Her head landed on his chest. And he was STILL asleep?! OMG! She grabbed the bedsheet in panic. “This blanket has abs… nope! Don’t
