CHAPTER 1: THE ORPHAN

Elodie’s POV“Elodie, do you want to go to the new coffee shop near our university? I heard they serve great coffee there,” my best friend, Ella, said to me as our class dismissed.I smiled as I shook my head, “I’m sorry, Ella. I have to go home early tonight. Also, I need to budget my allowance.”“You always say that, Elodie. We barely have any time together anymore…”“Oh, Ella. I promise I’ll come with you next time.”She was pouting at first, but then she smiled at me and nodded her head. “Fine. I understand that you also have to do the assignments of that witch. Just don’t forget to take some rest, okay?”“I will. Thank you, Ella.”We hugged each other before she hopped inside her car and drove off. I have decided to just sit on a bench near the parking lot while waiting for the car that would drive me home.Ella is one of my best friends since I was in middle school. She was born in a wealthy family since both of her parents are business tycoons. She is a jolly, adorable, and un

CHAPTER 2: THE DENMARKS

Together with the other servants, I immediately line up in front of the main door as it opened. Mia came running down the stairs to welcome her parents who both came from a business trip. Madame Hannah Denmark was beautiful as ever. With her medium length mahogany hair flowing perfectly on her shoulders, she really looked like a queen also with the mint off-shoulder dress that she was wearing. There is no denying that she and Mia are blood-related. Their resemblance to each other is very uncanny. On the other hand, Mr. Denmarks look dashing in his suit despite the noticeable gray strands of his hair.I couldn’t help but smile while looking at them hugging each other. They really look like a happy family.I wonder how it feels like to have a mother and a father.It must feel so great having a whole family….“Mom and Dad, how was your business trip, huh?! Oh, I missed you so much!” Mia cooed when they finally moved away from each other.“Oh, darling. It was exhausting as hell but we’re

CHAPTER 3: MAFIA KING

Henry’s POV“Henry, spare me please. I promise I will pay you when I finally get the money… Please… I’m begging you…” Paul, an old man who owes me $100,000,000 knelt down in front of me with his face filled with his own tears and blood.I laughed sarcastically as I pointed my gun to his forehead. “Paul, when you borrowed some money from me, what did I tell you?”“Y-You told me y-you don’t give second chances… B-But I’m telling you the truth, Henry…. I got scammed, I didn’t know that the man I gave my money to was a conman! I beg you, Henry… I’m willing to give you everything… Please…”“I don’t give second chances, Paul. Also, I fucking hate liars. Do you think I didn’t know about your plan? You’re planning to team up with Farusco to put me down, weren’t you?”“W-What? H-How did you—N-No, Henry. I-I wasn’t—“I HATE FUCKING LIARS!”Before he could even speak again, I pulled the trigger and shot him. He immediately fell to the ground with his eyes still open.Fucking liar.I handed my g

CHAPTER 4: PROMISE

Elodie’s POV“Elodie, is it true that Mia is going to marry Henry Vonstein? That super wealthy mafia boss?” Ella asked me as soon as I entered our classroom.I looked at her. “H-How did you know about that?”“Oh come on, Elodie. Everything that happens in everyone’s life here in the university is known by everyone. You know how our schoolmates love gossiping.”I heaved a deep sigh as I put my backpack down. “You know, I feel sorry for Mia. She is still too young to get married and she doesn’t even know that man. Given that the man is mafia boss. I’ve heard a lot of bad things about those kind of people.”“Oh come on, Elodie. Why do you care so much about that bitch when she always treats you like her servant?”“Because I really am her servant.”“Whatever. She deserves that for being so rude towards you. But on the other hand, she is quite lucky because she’s going to marry a wealthy man. I wonder if Henry Vonstein is hand some too since he doesn’t usually shows his face. If he is ugly

CHAPTER 5: THE PLAN

I could feel my heart beating so fast as I held the doorknob of the drawing room. I don't even know why but for no apparent reason, I feel so nervous about what they might say. I took a deep breathe before finally having the courage to open the door and enter the room. The moment I entered the drawing room, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Denmarks sitting on the couch together with Mia who appeared to be crying a while ago. Her eyes were puffy.I curtsied in front of them. "G-Good evening, Madame, Milord, and Lady Mia..."“Take a seat, Elodie,” Mr. Denmarks said to me.“T-Thank you..”I can’t help but feel nervous as I sat down on the couch in front of them I could feel their gaze directly at me. I wonder if I did something wrong. What if they just kick me out of their house? What if they take me away from Aunt Sally?“So, Elodie. For sure you’re wondering why we asked you to come here at this hour,” Mrs. Denmarks broke the silence between us four.I raised my head and looked at them. “D-Did I d
