"You're new here so be careful with your movements," the butler of the mansion I'll be working at from now on widened my eyes. I slightly smiled and nodded my head. "You won't meet normal people in this mansion, remember that. You get in here, it's hard to get out." She added. And it bothered me a bit. I wasn't scared though. I've been through worst, this shouldn't scare me at all. She led me to a small room. It was dirty and dusty inside. It looks like it hasn't been entered by anyone for years. I still coughed a little because of the dust that flew when he opened the door. "This room just needs a little cleaning. There's nothing else available downstairs, just this so don't complain." I grabbed my two bags and put them inside the dusty room. Can I really survive this kind of room? Good thing I don't have asthma. I took the small notebook in my pocket and grabbed the black ballpen that I tied with yarn and also tied to the spring of my notebook so it wouldn't get lost. 'Isn't there another room upstairs?' my letter He looked up at me after reading it. I saw as if there were stairs to the top of this big mansion. Maybe there is another room there that I can stay in. The older woman glared at me. "It's not allowed up there. Don't go there unless they call you! Don't be artful, the important thing is that you have somewhere to stay every day!"

Chapter 1 abusive family

Chapter 1

I was born in an abusive family. My father is an addict, my mother, a porn actress, my two brothers are a member of a huge gang in the city. While me, the youngest, stays in our hell house.

At a very young age, I was abused by my own father and brothers. They would beat me if I did something that they don't like. It will hurt immediately if I don't do what they ask me to do.

The young me became aware of the pain. The body is full of bruises and bruises every time you wake up in the morning. Will sleep with tears in the corner of the eye.

I'm used to this happening in my life. It came to the point where I would hurt myself too whenever I'm lonely. I got used to the pain that I started loving it. I got addicted to hurting myself, especially my wrist.

I don't know why I want so bad to hurt myself. Maybe it became my comfort? I don't know. When I see blood running through my wrist, it makes my insides happy.

Maybe I'm crazy, just like my family.

When the butler came out of my future room, I looked around the dirty room. I should clean this room. Even though I was abused before, I still slept clean.

I looked for a broom and luckily I found one under the bed that this room has. The mattress also needs to be replaced because it is very dirty and dusty. Maybe there is something here.

I cleaned the surroundings. Removed the cobwebs from the walls and ceiling. I wiped the window which is so dusty.

How many years has this room been unused? And why are you so dirty?

I continued cleaning, it took me two hours to do. It's almost night. I still need to prepare for what I'm going to cook.

Yes, I am the new cook of this huge house. I don't know what's the reason why the previous cook was dropped from this job. Maybe he or she didn't cook well?

I used to cook at home so I'm good at this kind of work. I can do a lot so they are not a loss to me.

Fortunately, I found some bedsheets in an old cabinet. It is clean because it is enclosed in a thick cellophane, there is also a thin blanket that I can use as well. I have something with me but I won't use it.

I sat on the rather hard bed and looked around the room.

I'm satisfied with the result. It's neat already, this room looks like a new one because of the cleanliness I've done here. The light is fine and working. It's hard if I don't have a light here.

I looked at the time on my small and old cell phone. It's already 5 pm, I should go and cook.

When I left the room, I immediately looked for their kitchen. This house is not that confusing. It's big but not too much. It's just the right size.

I wonder who's my boss here? Because the butler hadn't mentioned it to me before. All he told me was not to make them angry because he said I would be really angry. I have free use of what's in their house, food, water and electricity. The salary that I will receive is 10 every week. That's big too. I will be able to save a lot especially and it will not be much of a problem for me to spend my stay here.

I saw the butler watching tv in the living room and eating ice cream. I knocked on the wall to get his attention. He turned to me and immediately turned off the TV. He raised his eyebrows and put down the ice cream he was carrying and approached me.

As he approached, I took out my notebook and wrote in it.

'I'm going to cook?'

He frowned as he read and nodded.

"Ah, okay, go ahead. Just make sure you cook well, especially since our bosses are coming home from work today, they're sure to be tired. Cook adobo and rice porridge, that's a favorite of both of them."

I nodded to him and wrote again in the notebook.

'Where is the other servant?'

He read it. "No, it's just the two of us. The twins don't want many people to stay in their house. The two are strict. There was someone else before but they disappeared because they made the twins angry."

'Are you comfortable here?' my letter

It shrugged.

"Before, yes. Now not anymore, just a pure assistant."

He waved a hand to let me go.

"Go away, you have so many questions. Maybe that will kill you, son."

I prepared the ingredients. I was amazed because the ref has everything that I needed. I won't have to search anymore because there is everything I need to cook adobo and rice porridge. The old man is probably the one shopping here with them.

I was even more amazed because the kitchen utensils were also complete. It's just dizzying to search and shop because there are so many of them. It hurts my eyes and brain to choose the right one to use.

When I saw that I had everything I would need for cooking, I immediately started.

Cooking became my hobby. I became good at this task because of watching videos online. I make it and prepare it for my family.

While I was cooking, I heard the laughter of the old man who was in the living room and was watching a show that must have been a comedy because he was laughing so loudly. I keep wondering if he can still do that when our bosses are here? Maybe not. Our boss might get angry if he witnessed something like this in his house.

I don't even know what time they come home. The old man didn't mention it because he was excited to be back on TV. Even its name he forgot to share with me. I told him my name but he didn't call me by my name either.

I just shrugged my shoulders and continued cooking. I cook both at the same time so this job is quick. I have also cooked the rice in the rice cooker and it is about to be cooked.

When I was done with everything, I wiped my hand and looked at the little bruises from the oil that had splashed on my hand earlier. It doesn't hurt so it's okay.

I put the cooked food on the wide table. I served it and covered it well so it didn't get cold. Maybe because our boss will be later. Scold me even more because their food is already cold.

I turned to my side when I felt someone standing next to me. I saw the old man curious about what I was cooking which I was currently covering.

"It looks delicious. I didn't taste it, they should be the first to taste the new cook's cooking in their house."

He washed his hands before taking out two small Tupperwares and scooped a dish and placed it there. I wondered.

"It's yours, eat in your room. They don't want anyone else at the same time. We'll be upset if they see us wandering around them while they're eating." He handed me two Tupperware. Now he gave me a plate filled with rice.

He gave me so much. I'm not greedy. In fact I am thin. Very thin. Maybe that's why he gave it to me because I looked so hungry.

I wrote a big 'thank you' in my notebook before I went back to my room. When I entered there, I immediately ate. It's almost six o'clock, you can eat at this time. I should go to bed early today so I can wake up early because I will be cooking again.

After I ate, I sat on the floor of the room on the side of the bed. I bent my knees and buried my face there.

I look so skinny. I like to cook but I can hardly eat because of the family. Sometimes they bring other people so the food will really run out. I will also be scolded if I stay aside because they say their guest has nothing to eat.

After a while, I fell asleep right on the floor and I woke up when the coldness crept into me. I looked for my cellphone and checked the time, 11:23 pm.

I'm thirsty...

I decided to go outside and get some water. I bet the boss isn't roaming around this time in the kitchen. I hope so...

When I got water I immediately drank it. My hand was hanging in the air when I heard a voice. Irritated voice.

"The bîtch really thinks she's good, huh?"

I got chills when I heard the voice talking. Who was it? I slowly lowered the glass I was holding. Trying my best not to make any sounds as possible.

The voice I hear is from cr. There is a cr not far from the kitchen. It was quite far away but I could still hear the voice.

"Can't even suck my dick properly."

Then suddenly, the sound of the door being opened harshly startled me that I dropped the glass I was holding. Creating a very loud noise in the middle of the night.

Shit

"Who the hell is that?!"

His voice echoed along with the loud shattering of the glass that fell from my hand. I don't know what to do.

My body trembled because of fear. I told myself I shouldn't feel the feelings I got used to before but now... this guy is scaring me.

What to do? What to do, Ethan?!

I trembled even more when I saw the growing voice. My eyes widened when I saw him. He's... fine. Hey look...

I almost had a heart attack when he came closer to me.

The surroundings are bright because of the light. But it's like he still can't see my face because he came so close to me that it scared me even more.

Is this the boss?!

"Ethel? Is that you? But with short hair?!"

My mouth fell open because of what he called me. I felt something when he said those names. Who is this Ethel again? I'm not Ethel. Why is he calling me Ethel?

I wanted to answer him but I realized... I forgot to bring my notebook to communicate with him. I didn't bring it because I didn't expect to meet people at this time of the night!

I couldn't do anything but shake my head over and over again. I don't know how to answer him. I don't have the ability to speak.

"Norman would turn into a fûcking psycho once he sees you."

I was confused by what the man was saying. If he can talk to me, it's like he knows me well. It's just casual if he talks to me. Well, I don't know him.

He crossed his arms in front of his chiseled chest. I just noticed that he's very baked in front of me. Wearing only his tight boxers. His muscular body is on full show.

"I would warn you while it's still early, Ethel. Get out of here or you are going to see a different version of Norman. I'm being kind here," he leaned on the table.

I felt his eyes checked on me.

"You got thinner. No money to fool around, huh?" He smirked. I feel like that was an insult. But not directly for me because I am not Ethel.

His brow furrowed as his eyes narrowed as he looked at my chest.

"And where the hell are your fûcking breasts? You used to have those super huge boobies? Don't tell me those were fake?" It adds.

He thought I was Ethel. But that's not me, I don't even know that. I shouldn't be affected because those words are not meant for me.

"Damn, I can't believe you scammed my idiotic brother. What did it like about you? Your bôobs who seems to be fake? Your face, maybe? You look good. But it's been a long time, 5 years? But you look younger. Have you retouched yet?"

Don't be affected, Ethan. He's saying nonsense.

"Why the hell you aren't talking back?! I look crazy just talking!"

I shook my head because of the fear of suddenly getting angry. It stood upright before me.

"And you even created a mess!" It broke the glass I broke earlier in shock. I bent down and saw that it was scattered there too much. I should clean this up. I turned my back on him and reached for the dustpan and small broom that was just next to me and started to clean it.

"Are you ignoring me, Ethel?"

This time... his voice is darker. Scarier than earlier.

I turned my head to him and shook my head. I wasn't. I was just cleaning up.

"You have a very thick face for you to show up in our house after you hurt my brother. You fûcking bîtch!"

"I still have mercy right now so I'm telling you to run away as far as you can before Norman smells you. You don't know what's his capable of. You don't know him-"

"Theo! Throw that woman right now!"

Another voice echoed in the big house. Who is this again?!

And his voice was even two times scarier than this guy in front of me. My heart beat faster as I remained bent and kneeling on the floor to clean up the spilled glass.

"Theo, I told you I want-" what he was going to say hung up as he looked at me on the floor.

Our eyes met and something passed by in those eyes. What was that? His mouth opened slightly while looking at me.

I heard the man he called Theo groaned in front of me.

"Good luck facing the psycho, Ethel."

Then all of a sudden... I found myself being choked to death by the man called Norman. And a hard slap both on my cheeks. Making me lose my consciousness.

"What is this, Michael?" I asked him when he gave me an invitation card. Of course I know what it is but I want to ask him if what it is really for. "Invitation card, obviously. There's a big party and you have to go." He is stuck. He just rolled his eyeballs at me. I thought at that time that he had a surprise for me and that our relationship would be fixed just for our son Lenoah, but no. I attended a party just to get hurt too much. Because it was their engagement party. At first I thought Kalezy was just joking. I also know that Michael is her boyfriend but seeing me hurt face to face is what I couldn't handle. I had a quick breakdown. “W-We still haven't fixed our past problem, Michael. I kept your son from you for two years and even though I was hurt then that you let me go, I chose to introduce you to Lenoah as his father. I'm the first one who tried to fix our relationship but... I also suffered because you don't want me anymore. I know how much I wronged you before, Michael. I'm sorry but you gonna hurt me like this face to face? Michael, w-is it really gone? Don't you really love me anymore? Are you really giving up?” "A person's feelings change, Novy, and besides, it's been a long time," he said without emotion. I smiled bitterly. He's right. A person's feelings do change. "I understand. Sorry, if I'm too naughty. I'm sorry if I'm still trying to fix our relationship because I'm just thinking about our son," I said softly. "You planned to frame me up so I can get back to you, Novy. That's what I hate the most about what you did," he said coldly. "I'm sorry... I-I made a mistake..." I once let Michael go and it still hurt me too much. But I can handle it if I let him go a second time, right? I love Michael very much. But I know a different Michael now. The Michael I loved before and I was the only one he valued but now is gone. Another woman owns his heart and it's not me anymore. "S-Sorry... I promise you... I won't... I won't tease you anymore. B-I'll just visit Lenoah at your condo---" "We will also move to our subdivision." I quickly wiped my tears. It dripped one after another and my chest was tight. “In that case. S-We'll just meet outside," I said and sniffed even more. It's not just my tears, but also my cold. "I'll just give you a schedule." I nodded. "S-Alright, ah. I-I'll go first,” I said goodbye and because my knee was getting soft I almost lost my balance. He quickly grabbed my elbow to support me but I immediately pulled my hand back. "I'm fine..." I said and raised my hand and started walking. “New...” When I got out of the hotel, I just laughed so hard. Even the weather seems to be keeping up with my disappointment and sadness. It is raining heavily and the wind is also very cold. My tears are also pouring and it really doesn't stop. "New! Are you insane?!” my cousin Devillaine yelled at me. When he saw me walking and making it rain. "New!" “H-Leave me alone, Devi. I-I just want to... get wet in the rain.” "You are really crazy! You know you get a fever easily when you get wet in the rain!” He shouted at me while pulling my arm but I struggled. "I told you to let me go!" “New...” "N-I'm in pain, Devi... I-I just want... to forget even for a moment." "Then I will take you to the bar. I'll go get drunk with you if you want. Don't do this, Novy...” he said and just hugged me. I just cried on his shoulder. *** The news about their engagement party was hot and even though Michael and Kalezy were not engaged then he always went to the gym where the tennis players practiced. He does the same to me. He will watch our practice, even if it takes him an hour, he doesn't get bored waiting for me, but now... He's watching a different girl. Because I got wet from the rain last night, I did have a fever, but I also went in because we had practice. Our competition was coming up again but when our coach noticed that I was not myself, he gave me a break. I'm still wrapped in my varsity jacket and I'm really cold. "New! Your pogi boyfriend is looking for you. Cry without seeing you!” my tennis player friend also told me. Even though I was sick, I still smiled. Because I know who he is referring to as my boyfriend. It's my son. The net was blocking between us but that was often the scene between the two of us. He was holding it so I knelt down so that I could face his face. His eyes and nose were red. "Hi. Are you looking for me, babe?” I asked him and he snorted. “M-Mommy...” "Why is my boyfriend crying?" I asked him softly and he was about to touch both of my cheeks when I avoided it. "Your girlfriend is sick, babe. Kisses, hugs and touches are not allowed because Mommy's trying baby might get infected." "I just miss my girlfriend," he said and chuckled softly. "I miss you too, my baby." "You're close, Mommy. You will transfer your fever to me and then I will transfer it to Daddy." “Oh. You're with your girlfriend's rival again, hmm?” "Mommy..." "I love you,

I'm at my new friend Jaelly's house today and I'm sitting on the couch. She left me for a while to get a snack. But there's someone who pulled my skirt. I didn't notice it at first but it kept dragging so I've got it upside down. My eyes widened when I saw her. A little girl who is so pretty, curly hair and greasy eyelashes. Then her eyes were gray, innocent and pure. Her nose is pointed, her cheeks and lips are all red. “Oh, hello. You're such a beautiful kid!” I said astonishingly and out of excitement I picked her up to sit her on my lap. I kissed her on the cheek and hugged her tightly. I felt his head leaning against my chest. She smells so good. I untied to see her reaction and what a cutie! His eyes are closed and it seems he is immediately comfortable with me. “Oh, Dad!” he shouted suddenly and pulled my sleeves again. Her lips, she pointed somewhere. "Dada... Hmm, up Dada," she said. "Are you looking for your Dada? Let's go then," I said and picked him up. I saw the sparkle in his eyes and he smiled sweetly at me. “Mommy?” “Oh, little cutie. I'm not your Mom," I said and she snorted. "Okay..." So obedient. He was not a demanding child and did not even cry. "Are you Jaelly's younger brother? What's your name, sweetie?” I asked her but she didn't reply. When we finally got to the stairs, he let me down so that's what I did. He grabbed my two fingers and pulled me again. I chuckled softly and just let him go. He pointed to the door. "Open," he said. Her voice is naturally soft and gentle. I opened it because he wanted me to do it and I just laughed softly because he pulled me in too. His small hands were pointing at something again, accompanied by his snoring, so I followed that with my eyes. My heart beat even faster when I saw a man lying on a big bed. It doesn't have a top, it's like it's shivering in the cold? The girl got on the bed, I was supporting her so she wouldn't fall and enter the man's blanket. I was worried about what it would do. "Dada... Dada..." the girl called softly. "H-Hon... G-Get out, please... M-My fever is Dada... C-Call your Tita Ly," he said softly, his voice also hoarse but still snuggled up to her side the child. He hugged her left arm and leg. He even kissed her cheek. "Hon..." "Dada, wake up... Mommy is here..." she whispered and glanced at me. Eh? I'm not his Mommy. He just brought me here. Wait... Dada? Is this man her father? Aunt Ly? So, are they father and son? But who is this man then? Jaelly's older brother? “Hon... Go... C-Call your Aunt Ly...” "Mommy is here, Dada... She's here!" he insisted and beckoned to me as if he wanted me to come to him. A-I don't want to! He's just a kid! Even though he's cute, I don't want to follow him because his daddy is the one in bed. Maybe his Mommy will catch me here and wonder why I'm here. "Uhm..." I walked towards the door hoping to leave but he suddenly shouted. "Mommy!" "I'm not your Mom!" I also shouted back at him so the man woke up completely. My eyes widened when I saw his stony body. Because he did get up. He looked at me without emotion. My heartbeat suddenly accelerated when our eyes met. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice cold as ice. "It's my Mommy, Dada... Mommy, come here..." I shook my head. "I-I'm not your Mom..." I said but before I could turn the doorknob, my hair stood on end when someone hugged me from behind. My eyes widened when he suddenly picked me up. I was so shocked that I couldn't even protest. I only realized one thing. I was lying on the bed and he hugged me tightly and the child was still very happy. God! What the hell?! Why is he acting so fast?! Is he a vampire?

"You didn't remember your name, little kitten?" the man with hazel eyes asked me that. I was lying on the bed and he was leaning on me so I could clearly see his beautiful features. His face is also close to mine. He had a square face that fit his undercut hair with a mix blonde and black color. His beautiful hazel eyes are so cold and blank. His long pointy nose, and his naturally reddish lips that are partly a bit. He's such a beautiful man but he doesn't have any facial expression, an emotionless guy. However, I can still feel my heart beating fast and his dark aura still gives me shivers. "Answer me, kitten," he complained that his voice was cold as ice but very husky. I close my eyes when I feel his gentle caressing my cheek. I feel an electric voltage coming from his hot palm. I was flattered when I remembered something. He is... This guy looks like... "Xenus..." I uttered his name and for the first time, I could read his emotions, shocked. "How about your name, hmm?" he asked me again. I shook my head because I can't even remember my name. How come that I forgot the most important things in my life? My name...and a blank memories... “You are Cashren Jhed Lindbergh, the beloved wife of Xenus Maicodel Levanna-Lindbergh. My kitten, you just woke up today after the comatose state. Welcome home, love,” he whispered as he sealed me with a kiss. But he's fake... He told me that we are married. That we both got married because we love each other. I trusted too much because I believed that he was my husband even though I only remember a few things about him. But as the days pass and the year draws to a close, I gradually remember my past that he intended not to remind me of. He just used me...he just made me a...judgment... He also made me believe that he loved me very much but that was not the truth for the past four years. He's been in love with someone else and that's what I can't accept too much. He lied to me... I gave my trust and myself to him because I thought he was real but he wasn't. When I woke up from comatose, and after my therapy... She got me pregnant right away. We gave birth to twins but while he was missing from the mansion, he went to see his woman and that woman was legally adaptive to my children. Xenus meant it, because he was a heartless. I fell to the floor because I felt intense pain in my senses again. I've been suffering from my migraine but he didn't even know my situation. "Jhed!" I was relieved when I heard his voice and I immediately felt his presence enveloping me. He grabbed my arm but I quickly struggled. "Don't touch me!" I hissed him. "What... What happened?" he asked me worriedly. Even though I really see that I will not affect him anymore. “My love...” “Stop calling me that, Lindbergh. I'm not your love. It's Margaret," I said emphatically and he cupped my face. I hit his shoulder only for him to let me go. "Jhed, you're my love... I love you," he said and firmly kissed my senses but I hit his chest. “Stop! I don't want... I don't want to be with you anymore because I'm not you... You're not my real wife! I will still be back. I will return to where I came from...” "You... You're going to leave me, us?" How about them, our kids, Jhed?” he asked me. “Even if I wanted to include them...you know that's not possible! Because I am not their legal mother, even though I am the twins' biological mother! You are so... You are so heartless, Lindbergh... That's why stop pretending that you cared for me!” "That's not true, love..." "I'm leaving. You will take care of them. After all...the girl you love is already there," I said calmly and gathered all my strength to push her away from me. I stood up and walked towards the door. I can't be with the man who cheated on me anymore, no matter how much I love him, it's still irrelevant. He hurt me too much. "You're not going somewhere, my kitten," he said coldly and I was even more shocked when he quickly faced me. He effortlessly slung me over his shoulder and threw me on our bed. I was about to get up but he quickly passed me. My eyes widened when he tore my dress and planted a firm kiss on my lips, covering my left breast with one of his palms. My tears immediately flowed because of what I thought he would do to me. “Stop it... Stop doing this, Xenus!” I shouted and tried to move my face away from him. He ignored me. He quickly removed his necktie and tied it around both of my wrists, which were above my head. "My love... You can't go... You can't leave me like this... You know that I'm in love with you... You are mine... Mine, alone... I'm the only one...I'm the only one you should know as your husband..." he said coldly but there was tenderness in it. There is still tenderness in his voice. What he told me today was true but I tried to ignore it. "This is... Stop it, Xenus..." I warned him. He separated both my legs and because he had given me his full weight I could not move anymore. I don't have the
