****************************************
She kissed him, and his eyes snapped open.
"What do you think you're doing?" his deep voice rumbled inside the kiss. She came to her senses, and her eyes bulged out in realization of what she was doing. She quickly sprang up from him, bowing her head in embarrassment.
He stood slowly, his eyes red with anger. Tiara raised her head to look at him, and immediately their eyes met. She knew she was doomed.
"I just asked you a question" his voice sounded again, and she started sweating profusely.
He started taking a step closer to her. Then another. And another. Until he was right in front of her, with just a single space between them. She tried to step back, but her feet felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot.
He reached out, his hands grasping her wrists, and pushed her against the wall, pinning her hands above her head. She winced, but he ignored her pain. He leaned in close to her ear, his hot breath fanning her earlobe.
"Do you know that I can fire you right now?"
Tiara took her lips in, closing her eyes tightly before opening them again. Her heart was racing, and Lucas, who heard her rapid heartbeat, smirked.
"My arm and elbow hurts" she mumbled.
"So?" he asked.
"Please let go of my hands, master" she begged. Lucas raised an eyebrow, his eyes locked on hers.
"Am I really tempting you that you couldn't help but do something stupid? Didn't Robert give you the instructions? Or do you just choose to do stupid things?" he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Instructions?" Tiara mumbled, confusion etched on her face. Lucas smirked before releasing her hands.
"I'm sorry, it was a mistake, I really..." she stuttered, clutching her arm, but Lucas cut her off.
"No long talks" he said, sliding his hand into his pants pocket.
"I didn't know I got a slut as a maid, kissing me while I'm sleeping. You want to lose your job that badly?" His words stung, and Tiara felt a surge of pain at being called a slut.
"You should be grateful my secretary hasn't given you the instructions yet, or you would have been sacked by now" Lucas continued, his voice cold.
"Kissing the richest man in California on his bed without his consent? You should be arrested for that"
"I'm...really sorry, sir. It was a mistake, I didn't mean to do that. Please, master, I was just so stupid. I don't want to lose my job" Tiara said, tears streaming down her face as she began to kneel.
"Let those knees touch the floor and you'll be sacked right away" Lucas ordered, his voice firm. Tiara quickly stood up, her eyes wide with fear.
"Try that with me again, and you'll know how I'm going to ruin you. For real" Lucas continued, his words sending a chill down Tiara's spine.
"Out!" he commanded angrily, and Tiara quickly hurried out of the room.
Lucas rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom, entering the closet room beside it. He stripped off his clothes and stepped under the shower, turning it on, closing his eyes as the warm water touched his skin. He cooed softly, letting the water wash over him.
As he stood there, he sighed sadly, remembering that his mother's death anniversary was in a few days. A small, sad smile crept onto his face as he recalled that today was the date he had told his mom he wanted a wife.. beautiful like her.
FLASHBACK*
Little Lucas was busy drawing on his bed when he heard the door open. He turned and smiled, seeing his mother walk in.
"Mummy!" he called in his little voice, and his mother smiled back, sitting beside him.
"My baby boy" she said, stroking his hair, causing him to smile before focusing back on his drawing.
"Wow, what's my Lucas drawing?" she asked, impressed.
"You, Mummy! You're so beautiful, it makes me want to draw you. Rate me, Mummy!" he said cutely, and his mother chuckled.
"100/100" she replied, and Lucas clapped his hands happily.
"You must really love it, Mom" he said, smiling.
"Yeah, baby, I love it so much. I look so beautiful" she said, laughing.
Lucas thought for a moment before saying,
"And because of your beauty, when I grow up, I want to marry a beautiful person like you. And when you see her, you'll be like, 'Wow, my son got a beauty just like me!" He stared up at his mother with big eyes.
His mother laughed at his cuteness.
"Really? Then I can't wait to see her!" She kissed his forehead, and just then, Little Lucina burst into the room, frowning.
"Mummy, what about my forehead?" she asked in her little voice, running to sit on her mother's lap.
"Oh, my Luci is jealous!" Her mother said, kissing Lucina's forehead too. Lucina laughed in satisfaction before sticking her tongue out at Lucas, who rolled his eyes playfully.
"We love you, Mummy!" they both said at once.
"I love you too, my babies" their mother replied, smiling.
FLASHBACK ENDS*
"Mum" he called out sadly, a tear rolling down his cheek before being washed away by the water. The shower made his hair cling to his face, giving him a hot look. He ran his hand through his wet hair and bit his lips slowly, but a deep frown spread across his handsome face as he remembered the maid's kiss from earlier.
He recalled how she had entered his room, dropped the food, approached him, caressed his face, and rubbed his lips before leaning in to kiss him. He had remained still, feeling her lips move against his, before deciding to take action.
"She's always trespassing, every freaking time" he muttered, the warm water trickling down his lips. "Little does she know, she doesn't belong in my world"
He remembered how Tiara had winced when he pinned her hands to the wall, and the emotions he had felt for the first time in years.
GUILTY.
He hated feeling guilty, and a maid had just made him feel it.
"Tiara" he said finally, turning off the shower. He grabbed a towel from the hanger and tied it around his waist, using another short towel to dry his hair as he left the bathroom. He didn't bother changing in the closet room, instead heading straight to his phone to call Robert. Luckily, Robert's call came in almost immediately. He picked up, putting it on loudspeaker.
"Hello, Boss" Robert's voice sounded over the phone, but Lucas remained silent.
"Boss, are you there? Hello?" Robert asked again, starting to sound concerned.
"Why haven't you given her the instructions yet?" Lucas finally spoke, his deep, authoritative voice firm.
"Are you planning to lose your job? Seems you've gotten another job elsewhere, I think" he added.
"Instructions?" Robert asked, confusion evident in his voice.
"If you make me repeat myself, forget about being my secretary" Lucas warned, his tone stern.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'll send the instructions right away" Robert replied hastily, realizing his mistake.
"Why did you call?" Lucas asked curtly.
"You have dinner with Mr. Dawson, Miss Evelyn's father, the lady your father asked you to get engaged to" Robert reminded him.
"Schedule it for tomorrow afternoon. I don't have time for any shit tonight" Lucas ordered sternly.
"Hmm, sir, it's very important, I mean.." Robert started to say, but Lucas cut him off.
"Do you wanna die?" Lucas asked bluntly.
"Umm, sir, I-I'm very.." Robert stuttered, still apologizing, but Lucas ended the call abruptly, tossing the phone to his bed before heading to the closet room to change.
A FEW HOURS LATER, TIARA'S ROOM**
Tiara was on her phone, watching a Korean movie called Welcome to Waikiki. She was laughing uncontrollably, and anytime she felt sad or finished crying, she loved watching it. She had already cried about her stupid actions a few hours ago, but one thing was certain - she didn't feel guilty for kissing him. In fact, she was strangely happy she had lost her first kiss to him.
Surprisingly, it was her first kiss, and she was an innocent girl who hadn't been in a relationship or dated anyone before. However, she had a childhood first love she had been waiting for, but her wait was shattered when she stumbled upon someone who stole her heart at first sight- her master.
She had already admitted she liked him, but she knew she could never be with him. It was a dream she thought could never come true.
To distract herself, she found solace in the movie and couldn't stop laughing.
"Hahaha, gwenchana gwenchana!" she laughed out loud.
Her phone rang, and she smiled seeing Kieran's name on the screen. She picked it up immediately.
"Hi!"
"What's up, Bluey?" he asked, and she chuckled.
"Bluey again" she teased, feeling him smile at the other end.
"Yeah, so how are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm cool, what about you?" she replied.
"Fine, our date is happening tomorrow afternoon. Do you still remember?" he asked, and Tiara's eyes widened as she realized she had forgotten.
"Oh yeah, tomorrow! Can't wait" she said, biting her lips.
"Since you said you don't want me to pick you up, meet me at Moonlight Restaurant at 1 pm" he instructed.
"Oh, okay, I'll be there" she replied.
They chatted and laughed for a few minutes before ending the call. As she was about to continue watching her movie, her phone rang again, and she raised an eyebrow seeing an unknown number. However, she picked up anyway.
"Hi, is this Tiara Jones?" a voice asked.
"Hmm, yeah. Who are you, by the way?" she asked.
"I'm Robert, your master's secretary. I'm the one who showed you around the house that day" Robert replied.
"Oh, sorry for not recognizing your voice" Tiara apologized.
"No worries, it's okay. I just wanted to tell you to go to the study room. I sent something on the networked printer, it's the instructions I forgot to give you" Robert said and Tiara's mind went to what Lucas had asked her about the instructions.
"Alright, I'll go check it now" Tiara replied.
"Alright then, goodnight" Robert said before hanging up.
"Goodnight" Tiara echoed, though the call had already ended.
She stood up weakly, still feeling the effects of Lucas's grip on her hand earlier. The same arm was wounded, and the other one had an injured elbow, making her feel tired. She had taken a painkiller to reduce the pain, which had helped, but she still felt a bit weak. She made her way to the study room, where she saw the networked printer with a paper in its mouth. She approached it, gently removed the paper, and checked what was written.
The paper read: "INSTRUCTIONS YOU MUST FOLLOW AS A MAID IF YOU WANT TO WORK UNDER LUCAS ROSS:
- Don't make him angry or annoyed
- You must not go out without his permission
- Don't fall in love with him
- Don't touch him romantically
- Obey him
- Don't shout or disrespect him
- Don't wear any revealing clothes to seduce him
If you don't follow these rules, you will be sacked"
Tiara gasped, realizing she had already broken five rules. Her job was at risk. She walked out the study room. She was shaking, lost in thought, and didn't notice where she was going. She bumped into a hard chest, snapping her out of her trance. Looking up, she gasped again, seeing who she had bumped into. She quickly shifted back and apologized,
"I'm sorry, master"
Lucas walked past her without saying a word. Tiara sighed softly and continued to her room, still holding the paper. She entered her room, locking the door behind her.
NEXT MORNING*
Tiara had already prepared breakfast and called Lucas to come and eat. She had also cleaned the house.
*DINING*
She stood in front of him, watching him eat silently. She wanted to tell him about her plans for the day, but she had to come up with a lie since she didn't want him to know she was going on a date with his stepbrother.
"Master" she called.
"I'm going out this afternoon to visit my parents" she said, and Lucas looked up at her, staring deeply into her eyes.
"So?" he asked.
"I wanted to ask for your permission" she replied, and he scoffed.
"You can go" he said, his voice firm and cold. Tiara smiled happily.
"Thank you so much, master" she said, appreciative.
"Your arm" he asked, causing Tiara to look at him in confusion.
"What?" she asked.
"I said, how's your injured arm?" he asked huskily.
"Stop pretending you don't understand me"
"I'm sorry, I just didn't catch what you said" she replied.
"I said, your injured arm" he said, his voice rising slightly.
"Oh, it's getting better" she muttered, but he didn't reply. Instead, he stood up and headed upstairs. Tiara remembered something and quickly ran to him, blocking his path.
"Master, I want to ask you something. Please don't sack me or get angry. I just want to ask... I haven't seen Mochi, is he okay? I'm worried" she said in one breath, her chest heaving slightly. A small smile spread across Lucas's lips, but he quickly covered it up. Tiara didn't notice the smile.
"He's with a veterinary doctor. He got sick" Lucas said before continuing his walk. Tiara smiled, relieved that he didn't get angry with her for asking.
AFTERNOON~
Tiara had already dressed up nicely. She wore blue skinny jeans with a long sleeve blue round-neck top which covered her bandaged arm and her elbow bruise, she was putting on white sneakers. Her hair cascaded freely down her shoulders, and she wore pearl earrings and a silver necklace with a pendant bearing the letter "T", a gift from her mom on her last birthday. She applied lip gloss and looked beautiful. She hung a white-designed handbag over her shoulder and walked out of the mansion. Fortunately, a taxi was approaching, and she quickly waved it down and got in.
She sat down in her favorite seat, at the back of the driver.
"Take me to Moonlight Restaurant, please" she said, and the driver nodded but gasped, recognizing her face.
"You!" they exclaimed in unison. It was the same driver who had told her about the maid application at Lucas Ross Mansion.
"Wow, you got the job!" he asked curiously, starting the car and driving off.
"Yeah, I was selected" she replied with a smile, and the driver smiled back.
"Congratulations, miss!" he said.
"Thanks" she replied.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at Moonlight Restaurant.
"We're here, miss" the driver said.
"Okay" she replied, about to take out her money, but the driver's voice stopped her.
"Don't worry, miss, it's on me" he said.
"But I must pay" Tiara insisted, but the driver shook his head.
"It's okay, miss, just go" he said, and Tiara thanked him before getting out of the taxi. The taxi drove off, and she started searching for Kieran. She chuckled when she saw him leaning against his car, staring at his phone.
"He looks so handsome" she whispered to herself.
She walked towards him.
"Hi" she said, and Kieran, hearing her voice, raised his head. He smiled, admiring her elegant beauty, and got lost staring at her.
But Tiara's voice brought him back to reality.
"Hey" Kieran said, sliding his phone into his pocket.
"Oh, hi Tiara" he added, smiling.
"Hi" she replied, and he gestured for her to follow him inside the restaurant. He stretched out his hand, and she gladly accepted it, walking beside him into the elegant establishment.
Tiara gasped as they entered, her eyes widening in awe.
"It's so beautiful" she breathed, and Kieran smiled proudly, happy that she loved it. They walked to the VIP section.
He led her to a seat, and they sat down, only a few people were there. The menu books were placed in front of them, and a waitress immediately came to take their order.
"Hello, ma'am and sir, welcome to Moonlight Restaurant. What would you like to have?" she asked politely.
Tiara took the menu and scanned it, but couldn't decide on a dish, everything looked delicious, but also very expensive. Kieran noticed her hesitation and decided to order for them.
"Get us the beef bourguignon with truffles, and a bottle of red wine, please" he said.
"Ok, sir" the waitress replied, before walking away.
"That's too expensive" Tiara whispered, checking the price on the menu, causing Kieran to chuckle.
"Come on, pretty, it's nothing" he said, and Tiara's lips curled into a smile. She took in her lips, before bringing it out wet and Kieran's eyes locked onto the movement, making him feel like kissing her immediately.
Tiara noticed his eyes on her and she started feeling uncomfortable, but she hid it, trying not to spoil their date.
Meanwhile, Lucas's car was coming straight to the restaurant, where he wanted to have lunch with Mr. Dawson, the man Robert had talked about yesterday.
His secretary was driving, and he was sitting in the backseat with his eyes closed. They got to the restaurant, and Robert announced,
"Sir, we are here" He opened his eyes and let out a sigh.
His secretary got down and opened the door for him, and he got down slowly, adjusting his suit before walking in. His secretary immediately closed the door, following him.
The people who were there started staring at him, and some were murmuring. Who doesn't know Lucas Ross, the richest man in California.
He entered, and the people inside the restaurant started murmuring too. He saw Mr. Dawson and his secretary about to go in. They went to him. They greeted each other briefly, and the restaurant attendant came to them.
"This way, sirs" he said respectfully, and they followed. They got to the VIP section.
They walked towards a seat, but he frowned, seeing his stepbrother not too far away and a familiar lady whose back was facing him.
The people in the VIP section started whispering among themselves, seeing Lucas Ross, and Tiara, who noticed, turned around, and her heart almost flew out of her chest as she caught Lucas staring at her direction.
Her f+cking master was in the same restaurant with her.
