Nang matapos ang aming water therapy sa banyo, binuhat ako ni Lucas pabalik sa kama. Habang pinagmamasdan ko siyang naghahanap ng maisusuot na damit sa cabinet ko, hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. Shocks, ang guwapo talaga. Parang bawat galaw niya ay may kasamang slow-motion effects at background music na pang-romance novel.

Pero biglang nag-iba ang aura niya. Huminto siya sa pag-aayos at naupo sa tabi ko, hinawakan ang kamay ko nang mahigpit. .

“Anya,” tawag niya sa pangalan ko.

“Bakit? Naisipan

  • Working as a Maid for the Billionaire   Chapter 300

    Truth to be told, happiness doesn't really last. That night, while the entire garden glittered beneath expensive chandeliers and the guests were busy celebrating my parents' anniversary, I was trapped.I stood in a tuxedo, forcing a smile for the people walking up to shake my hand, but inside, I felt like shattering every crystal glass in sight. I had already warned Dad. I told him repeatedly inside his office that I didn't want to agree with this arranged engagement. But to him, the company, the global market shares, and the Villamor name were all that mattered. My happiness is only considered as a sacrifice for reaping benefits. I really hope Dad would think this over.But I was wrong.“Good evening, everyone,” my dad started. “Tonight, as we celebrate our wedding anniversary, we would also like to celebrate another milestone of the Villamor Group. I am honored to announce a partnership that will solidify our future in the global market.”I already had a hunch on what he wanted to

    "Is that a promise, or a threat?" I heard myself ask, my voice was teasing. I didn’t let go of her hand. Instead, my thumb brushed instinctively over the sensitive skin of her palm, while my left hand smoothly drove the wheel."Depende sa kung paano mo tatanggapin, Boss," she shot back instantly, her tone laced with that familiar mischief that never failed to crumble my walls. “Kung magpapakabait ka, promise 'yan. Pero kung itutuloy mo 'yung pagiging snob mo kanina sa Villa, naku, ituturing ko 'yan bilang banta sa kalusugan ng puso ko.”I couldn’t help the low chuckle that escaped my throat."I told you, I have my reasons. Hindi kita ini-snob dahil gusto ko, I just can't tell you the reason yet," I defended myself. "But I apologize anyway. You don't deserve to feel ignored.”“Alam mo, Lucas.” she started. “Minsan naiisip ko, baka naman ginayuma mo ako? Kasi naman, kahit anong sungit mo nung una tayong magkakilala, konting ngiti mo lang ngayon, tunaw na agad ang galit ko. Ang daya.”"I

    "Deal," I replied, my voice low and full of sincerity. I could see the immediate effect it had on her. Her eyes widened, and a lovely flush crept up her neck and spilled across her cheeks.I knew Anya. I knew the playful glint in her eyes and the curve of her smile. She was my everything. And deep down, I knew she would have given me a dozen kisses, maybe even a lifetime of them, regardless of any deals or negotiations.I shifted slightly, my hand moving smoothly to the key. I turned on the engine. "Teka, saan tayo pupunta?" she asked, her gaze fixed on me as I buckled my seatbelt. I could feel her watching my every move, a strange mix of admiration and curiosity etched onto her features. “Magpapakalayo-layo ba tayo? Iiwanan na ba natin ang magulong mundo ng catering at magpapakasal na sa pinakamalapit na simbahan?”I glanced at her, my eyebrow arching slightly as my familiar, playful yet entirely melting grin made its appearance. "As much as I find your wild imagination entertaining

    “Lucas, you should be engaged to Yanna Quija.” My father told me that immediately raised my brow.“Out of the blue?” I asked with my brows furrowed. I don't like the idea.“Yes, we need to strengthen our influence. We need to merge with the Quija group with this arranged marriage. Besides, you and Yanna have known each other for a long time. I think you two will make a nice pair.” He calmly said while looking at me.“But father, the Villamor group can stand on its own even without the help of the Quija’s!” I retorted but my father shook his head.“Stop defying me, Lucas. The profit is enormous. I cannot let it slip in my hands. You're of a marriageable age, you should marry Yanna. End of discussion. I don't want to hear any more of your excuses. You will do this for the sake of our family.” He glared to warn me before leaving the room.I cussed as he left. He didn't even think about what I would feel about this. Always deciding to think only of himself. It's frustrating. If this engag

    The moment the door clicked opened, Anya’s gaze pierced through me. I didn't even have to look up from my laptop screen to know she was already scanning the room, plotting how to turn my quiet room into her personal playground.I kept my eyes fixed on the glowing screen of my laptop, fighting the corners of my mouth that desperately wanted to curve upward. I deliberately kept my reading glasses on just to give myself a thin shield against her ridiculous charm. I need to calm myself. I need to review documents today.“Sir Lucas, magpapatuloy na po ako sa pag-aayos,” she announced, her voice dripping with the most exaggerated formality she could muster.I couldn't help it. I let out a low laugh and glanced over my shoulder at her. “What’s with the formality? Just call me Lucas, Anya. I’ll just finish this report and then I'll hang out with you after.”Even to my own ears, my voice sounded entirely too soft when I spoke to her. I guess she charmed me too much. I watched the way her eyes

    We needed cleaners for the Tagaytay mansion, which unexpectedly gave us a chance to share the weekend together.When Anya stepped inside and slid into the seat right beside me, I immediately caught her scent, something sweet and distinct that always manages to throw off my focus. The driver shut the door, and the air inside instantly felt heavier and warmer despite the coldness of the air conditioning. I lowered my phone slowly, turning my head to look at her as I leaned back against the seat.“So, you’re coming after all,” I murmured, keeping my voice low, just enough for the two of us to hear. I watched her closely.“Siyempre naman, Lucas. Mahirap na, baka kasi kapag wala ako roon, mamatay ka sa lungkot. Ako lang naman ang nagbibigay ng kulay pink sa grayscale mong buhay,” she whispered back, her eyes flashing with a playful challenge while she kept her hands neatly to herself.I let out a low chuckle, unable to hide the amusement in my chest. “I thought you said you were innocent,

    Naramdaman ko ang biglang pag-akyat ng lahat ng dugo ko sa mukha. "O-opo, Sir. Sorry po talaga. Akala ko po talaga kasi ikamamatay ko na 'yung kaba," sabi ko habang pilit na inaayos ang suot kong manipis na puting t-shirt. Sa sobrang luma nito, halos maging transparent na siya, at sa sobrang kaba k

    Pagod na pagod ako pagdating ng gabi. Parang kinuha ng mga polo shirt ni Sir Lucas ang lahat ng energy sa katawan ko. Pagkatapos ng hapunan at paglilinis sa kusina, diretso na ako sa servant’s quarters. Ang plano ko talaga, ititupi ko pa 'yung mga bagong tuyong damit ni Sir na kinuha ko sa sampayan
