If there’s one thing I hate about men, it’s their domineering attitude. Stefan was like my father who loved to boss me around as if I had no common sense. I clenched my teeth after I was able to distance myself from him.“Will you please stop bossing me around, Stefan? I am not your woman!” I complained angrily and I heard him snort at my announcement.“What are you talking about, woman? Can’t I boss a maid who resides in my place?”The word ‘maid’ reminded me of my current position, and I immediately bit my bottom lip because of embarrassment. “Certainly, you can,” I replied, and without waiting for him, I walked towards the entrance, and never looked back.We slowly made our way up to the second floor, and then I stopped walking suddenly. He groaned when he almost tripped over. “I am scared of the dark,” I told him.“You have to endure it,” he replied.“Come with me inside,” I tried to use my charm on him just to test if he was gullible to any temptation. I needed to know something

We argued over something insignificant and because of it, I temporarily forgot about what happened. However, as soon as realization hit me, I glowered my eyes at him, and snapped, “Are you not going to help me?” He simply stared at me and I wondered why."You're completely naked!" He exclaimed.However, I was unconcerned about my nakedness. Rather, I was concerned that I would be become disable for the rest of my life. I couldn’t become one! I had so many things to accomplish in the future, especially for my daughter!“Stefan?” I called for his name when turned his back from me, but he never listened. He went through the closet and rummaged it. Then he returned with one of my clothes.“Put this on,” he said while handing it to me.“I don’t think I can do it,” I told him the truth and he never was“You can’t? Are you sure about that or you’re just trying to seduce me,” he accused me of something so horrendous!I twitched my nose before giving him a death stare. For a moment, I was just

When he struggled to feed me, I suggested he should just use his hand, and he was taken aback. Stefan stared at me as if I have become a monster in front him. I furrowed my brows before smiling at him. "Are you sure?"I nodded in response to his question. Then, I attempted to ignore the sweetness of his action. The warmth coming from his hand while feeling me was seductive, and I believed I couldn’t stand it anymore. His intense gazes were suffocating!"I'm done," I said, turning down the food he was about to shove into my mouth. I couldn't take it anymore. Something had been triggered in me, and I didn't like it."Would you like me to accompany you to your room?"He's probably joking; he's probably not. "Are you flirting with me?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him."Yes," he replied casually, and this time, it was me, who was taken aback! “Oh no, I’m just kidding, dear. You’re pretty, but you're definitely not my type," he said harshly.I had to bite my bottom lip to keep it from qu

When Stefan insulted me, I was supposed to get mad, but then my phone rang continuously. It was my boss, Jacob, so I didn’t waste more time and took the call. “Hello?”“How are you doing, Bethany? Did my brother treat you well?”“Mmm yes, but can you tell me when are you coming here?”“Tomorrow morning. We will be there,” he said, and then I heard several voices talking behind him. If I wasn’t mistaken, I thought I also heard Dale’s voice. “Dale is with you, right?”“Yes,” Jacob responded.“Will he also come?”“I’m sorry to disappoint you, sweetheart, but Dale will be busy with something else. An old acquaintance is causing trouble in Claybourne, and Dale will deal with him.”“An old acquaintance?”“Yes! My father used to be friends with Roger Middleton but now the old fart has been a headache in Claybourne! I wish I could just kill him instantly!”When he mentioned my father’s name, I became interested in it. “Why are you mad at him?” I asked because I wanted to know the reason for h

When Jacob failed to come on time, I had no choice but to stick with Stefan. I informed him that he could take me to the nearest bus station so that I could return to Claybourne, but he insisted I should stay. Unless there’s an order coming from his brother to send me back to Claybourne, I should stay put!At first, it would be so boring on the plantation but Stefan showed me around, and he truly became a friend. Because of him, I temporarily forgot about my worries…especially about my newborn daughter. Stefan would take me to places I had never been before, and I appreciated his effort to keep me company. I knew he wasn’t obligated to do so, and that’s one of the reasons why it seemed I was drawn to him. Well, who wouldn’t? While Jacob has forgotten about me, Stefan was ready to comfort me.One day, I heard him having a conversation with his mother, and the woman’s words were painful to listen to. She insulted my poor background, but as much as I wanted to hate her, she was only tell
