The Kings were at the dining table, everyone was sitting in their situated seats. Mr & Mrs. King were talking with each other about something, Sofia and Lucas were busy with their phones. And Alexander... his eyes were as always looking for that one girl. His father didn't know about his announcement yet. He wouldn't be happy and Alexander knew that. But, he could care less about his father's bullshit lecture.After a few minutes, the maids began to appear with various meal trays in their hands. He didn't even look at a single maid since his eyes were desperate to see her. He didn't mind if he was a little too harsh on her. He was going to obtain what he desired. And he was just interested in her at that moment. The heinous ruse, on the other hand, would break her... but that was exactly what he wanted. He intended to break her till she gave up. He intended to put her in a position where she would have no one alongside her except him.He was unaware that his wicked smile was seen by

Emma"Wow, Emma...th-that's a lot..." Venessa stated, flabbergasted. Emma sighed. She knew it was a lot. A few hours ago, Martha told her that Alexander was going to increase her salary and the amount was $800 a week. Why would he pay a maid so much? Maids normally didn't get paid more than $400 and he was ready to give her double the amount she was paid. She understood why he was doing this; he simply wanted her to stay. He had some men spying on Miss Garcia, installing cameras and using her against Emma, and then there was the salary thing.Emma sat beside Vanessa on the bed and exhaled deeply."That's a really big amount though, Emma. What are you planning now?" Venessa asked."I don't know. But, I have to work there anyway. I cannot leave this job.""Emma, you know if you are not happy with your job. You can leave it anytime," Venessa placed her hand on Emma's shoulder and said.She looked at her feet helplessly. She was right. Emma could leave anytime but, could she anymore? He

EmmaA middle-aged woman approached her and handed her the maid outfit, instructing her to wear it. Emma didn't spend much time in changing into that attire.The woman appeared to be stern and demanding. She had a blank expression on her face and was not as chatty as Martha. With a severe expression, she handed her the clothing. That disturbed Emma because she was concerned that the woman would not be as courteous to her as Martha had been.Of course! Not everyone's the same.She sighed heavily as she examined herself in the large floor touch mirror. It appeared to be rather good. It didn't fit her figure well, but it was pleasant to wear. It was a white full-sleeved top with a dark blue skirt that went just below her knee. It didn't have the feel of a second skin.Why does he want me to wear this kind of outfit? I didn't have it before.It wasn't like she didn't like it. She surprisingly did. But Alexander was not the type of person who would think about other people's comfort.Emma

EmmaShe gasped loudly as the photo fell from her hand to the floor. Lucas was staring at her with an annoyed and angry look."What the fuck are you doing here, maid?" He asked again. This time louder than before."I-I was j-just..." He did not let her finish and said. "How dare you touch Alexander's belongings! If he finds out about this you will be out of this house immediately if he doesn't kill you first!" He roared at her and took long strides, making her go back. Picking up the photo from the floor, he put it back on where it was before and glared at her. She looked down without saying anything."If you ever touch a single thing here, you will regret it. Do you understand that?" Emma nodded her head swiftly and walked past him muttering sorry.Her heart was racing as she bolted from the room. He didn't even give her a chance to explain before lashing out... yet she was relieved it wasn't Alexander. She was sure he would have punished her, which was the last thing she wanted. S

Past time"Slow down honey, you will fall and hurt yourself!" The woman remarked to her son, who was playing in the school's playground with other children. The boy returned her smile and giggled before sprinting towards the other children who were playing.She shook her head, a sweet smile on her lips, and returned her attention to her newborn child. He was sleeping peacefully in his mother's arms, his tiny hands curled up as he took a small yawn. His mother smiled at her son and drew his little form closer to her. Her four-year-old son wanted to play with the other kids even though school was over. The day appeared to go longer than usual. She looked at her watch; it was almost 2 p.m. She looked at the sky and gasped. Grey clouds were starting to gather, signaling that it might rain anytime. She hurriedly called her son and told him they must go. "But mommy, I want to play for some more," he whined.She sighed. "I know baby but if it rains then we are gonna get drenched and your lit
