Chapter 1

“Welcome to Salvino Manor, Ms. Hadley. You are hired now,” A smile formed on Esme's face, hearing the woman, Maeve, in front of her, who looked like she was in her mid forties. Maeve was the head of the Salvino Mansion's staff where Esme had been hired as a maid today.“Thank you so much, ma’am,” Esme thanked Maeve, who passed her a gentle nod.“You and your daughter can live here in this room,” Maeve said, looking at Esme's 4 years old daughter, Elea, whom she was holding in her embrace.“Thank you,” Esme thanked her again while tightening her hold around her kid.“But yes, make sure to keep your daughter away whenever Mr. Salvino is going to be here because our boss doesn't like children. He mostly returns home in the evening and leaves early in the morning, so be mindful of it,” Maeve clarified in a serious tone.“I will take care of it,” Esme passed her an assuring nod. After numerous efforts, she had received this job here in this Salvino Manor, which was owned by a billionaire

How could this be possible?Esme could not believe her eyes. For a moment, she felt like she was not awake. She was seeing him in her sleep, like always, but she knew it was not.It was not her nightmare anymore. He was standing right in front of her…..again. A tear slipped down from her eyes as she peered into his familiar grey eyes, which her child had also received from him.Esme's mind had gotten completely blank. She could not process or understand anything but it was until her glossy eyes accidentally trailed downwards and she saw him holding a gun, which was wrapped in blood. Both of his hands were also stained with blood.Horror engulfed her. She instantly recoiled her steps back.Taking her terrified eyes up, she looked at him again. He had not changed. He was still that monster he used to be five years ago.More tears filled her eyes which got stuck into his numb grey eyes that were gazing at her with a deadly silence, like they were trying to read every single detail of h

Chapter 3

Every nerve inside Esme's body numbed the moment she saw him turning around towards the door where her daughter was standing. Without being able to think about anything else, she walked past him hurriedly and stormed towards her child, which stunned him a bit.He saw her picking up the child in her arms and immediately hiding her face in her neck before his eyes could even get a proper glimpse of the kid. Esme's grip tightened around her child. Her whole body was sweating and even trembling. Her breathing was laboured too which his keen eyes observed, and he understood she didn't want his shadow to even fall on her child. Her action said it all.He was a monster, a ruthless monster, which he was clearly aware of, so he knew no sane person would want their loved ones to even get under his cruel presence. Just like his new maid, who was doing everything to hide her child from his eyes. But what the mafia don didn't know was she was not trying to hide her child from his eyes just beca

Chapter 4

“Mumma, where are we going?” Esme heard her kid asking her, who was on her lap. Both the mother-daughter were sitting on the bus station, waiting for the bus to come, so that they could leave this city as soon as possible.“We are going to a different place, sweetie,” Esme answered her kid. She herself didn't know what to say to her child. They were running away from that man, her brutal past, her child's father.They needed to run away from him because that man was everything but a human. He was ruthless. He was a criminal, a murderer, and she could never let herself or her child live under his presence, especially when she was hiding something so dangerous from him.“But, why mumma? I liked that home. I want to stay there,” the kid's face fell because she wanted to stay in that home which looked like some kind of a princess castle to her.Esme sighed. Only she knew how deadly it had been for her and her kid to escape from that place, especially with all those guards, but she still m

Chapter 5

Seeing him coming closer to her, Esme hurriedly stepped down on the other side of the bed and ran towards the door.She attempted to open the door to escape but to her utter horror, the door was locked from outside.Her feet froze.“You won't listen, will you, Ms. Hadley?” She heard his gravelly voice. Esme turned around and saw him smirking at her. He was finding her vulnerability extremely amusing, which made her clench her fists.“Open this door right now and tell me where my child is?” She lashed out at him because when it came to her daughter, she could go against anyone or anything, even against this nefarious man in front of her.He remained silent but that smirk from his face didn't fade.Esme gritted her teeth.“Open this door. I want to see my daughter. Open it,” she screamed at him and then turned around. Using every ounce of her strength, Esme tried to break the door but she could not do it. Her palms reddened but the door didn't break in any way.The tears in her eyes int
