Chapter 1
"Tristan is here, he might look for you, fix yourself before you go out" said manang cala, my only ally here in the mansion.
I fixed myself first before I left the room, my hair was not so neat and my eyes were swollen.
Manang was holding my arm, he was supporting me to Tristan, I saw him talking to aunt and uncle, even though we are married, I still call them.
"Iho, did you cry, your eyes are swollen, what happened to you" uncle said, I could feel the concern in his voice, I looked at aunt who just widened her eyes.
"Oh... it's okay, I'm just tired" I said, while bending down, I looked at Tristan for a moment who was looking at me, nothing changed on his face, his cold expression.
"Join us-" I immediately spoke. "Don't worry, I'm done too... excuse me, I'm going upstairs" I said and bent down to go upstairs.
I'm Devon Carter Lauder Lexington, I live a quiet life with my parents, we're not exactly poor, my parents own a business here in Manila, there's also one in France, but when they passed away, it was inherited from me, and not you In an unfortunate event, they took that aunt away from me, so I have nothing left.
I have a husband, his name is Tristan Lucas Damon Lexington, he has two brothers, he is the middle child, my parents left me with them, we both don't like this marriage, the only thing that is different about our marriage is that it is not the same as others, like we are not sweet to each other, it only became sweet to me when you were in front of uncle and aunt.
To be infact, the only people we don't like here are my aunt and my own husband, when uncle wasn't there they mistreated me, and at first I thought they would be my second family that was a mistake.
Devon Carter's point of view.
I felt something as if someone caressed my cheek which caused me to wake up.
When I opened my eyes, there was no one in my room.
Me and tristan don't share the same room, we only share when uncle and aunt will be staying here.
I got up to clean my body and to be able to help, I'm here to help, to be honest I really don't know anything about housework in short I was a spoiled kid... then, because since I landed here force me to work and I might look like a señorito here.
And with the help of manang cala, I now know something else.
I left the room when I finished taking a shower, I saw another maid cleaning the dining table.
I came over and helped them, I'm only 18 years old and I don't go to school—it's not because of it's because Tristan stopped me, what's the reason? Well, it's because I'm a boy or a girl.
"oh iho... you shouldn't be helping, what are you doing" manang stopped me when I heard footsteps going in our direction.
Tristan, he gave me a cold look but he immediately sat down at the dining table, I was about to leave because I'm used to always eating in the kitchen he doesn't want me to be with him for a long time.
Suddenly he spoke after I stopped, it was also surprising because he doesn't speak in the morning because he lacks sleep or is not in the mood.
Even the housemates were surprised.
"Join me" was just a short word but it had a big impact on me.
I watched it eat and it didn't even look at me.
"No, I'll come later" I'm really hungry but I have to lie, it's just awkward when I eat with him.
"I'm not asking for your approval, I'm ordering you" He said while looking at me, his voice that made me feel shivers around my body.
So I didn't do anything but followed, a maid took a plate and put it in front of me, I thanked her, she just smiled back at me.
He was about to put my food but I stopped him, even though I come from a rich family I don't want anyone to serve me.
I grabbed her hand to stop her, she's a beautiful woman, you can't deny that she's a maid because of her beauty.
"Let him be" Tristan said sternly as the maid immediately left.
I first ate the sausage with the rice, I was still chewing my food and anytime I would choke because my mouth was full of rice, that made my cheeks more fluffy.
"Damn it" Tristan suddenly hit the table and stared at me, did I do something wrong.
I looked at him as if I was asking what the problem was, I saw his mouth open but not a single word came out.
It looked at me again and left, was it my fault?
Manang cala seems to have heard Tristan's slap so he came out of the kitchen and looked at me.
"Is there a problem?" he asked me, I shook my head while there was still food in my mouth, I was surprised when Manang suddenly laughed.
It came close to me and rubbed the side of my mouth
"I eat like a child, or hurry up," he laughed, so I slowly swallowed the food in my mouth.
I finished eating and put away the things we ate, the other maids helped me.
I also washed my hands, and went to the manang behind the mansion, I found him cleaning the pool
"I'm over there, just rest" I tried to grab the cleaner but it didn't budge
"Iho, you should be the one to rest, you are our boss here" he said as I winced.
"Manang... I ordered you to rest so don't reprimand" he smiled at what I said
"You're really young... or it's you, I won't fight" he said and gave me the cleaner, I started to clean the water in the pool—it's already quite dirty.
"Hi there" someone suddenly spoke from behind me, and I saw that Tim was short for Timothy, tristan's older brother.
Devon Carter's point of view.
He's the older brother of Tristan,
Timothy Dylan Lexington.
He's also handsome, like Tristan he's white too, with his dark blue eyes and blonde hair, maybe he's coloring it, and his goddess aura that can pull off lots of girls even gays.
"Isn't your date still tomorrow, where's trina" I asked him while she just crossed her arms, trina is her younger sister—she and tristan, they're both kind to me unlike Tristan, if I treat me like no husband
"I expected a hug from you, but you're looking for something else" he said to me dramatically, I immediately let go of the cleaner I was holding and approached it.
And gave a big hug.
"I miss my shorties" I slapped his chest when he called me for it, insulting his height.
It just laughed at what I did
"Where's manang, and why are you cleaning, the maids should do the cleaning" he said and I was immediately taken aback by what he said.
