His Naughty Maid

"What the f**k!" I was shocked when I bump into the car in front of me. He just suddenly stop and I couldn't break quickly!

I slowly got out of the car and groaned a little because my head hit the streeing wheel.

I saw the driver also come out and stare at his car until he slowly turned to me.

"You just bump my f**king car!" I almost dropped my jaw because of what he said.

"What do you want me to say? I'm sorry? It's your fault you stopped suddenly!" I couldn't help raising my voice at him.

He's getting into my nerves!

"If you don't have any money to pay for the damage to my car, just don't talk about it." He said coldly and turned his back on me, but I pulled the hem of his suit so he faced me.

"What's your f**king problem, huh? Old woman?!"

What did he say? Old? Old woman?!

"I think you're a few years older than me, so don't ever call me old!!" I said aloud. It closes tightly and seems to be irritated by my voice.

"Who permits you to touch--" he didn't finish what he was going to say because we heard the horns of the cars around us.

"HEY!! DON'T BLOCK THE ROAD!"

The man removed my hand and turned his back on me completely. Before his car left, I looked at the license plate number of his car.

I took a deep breath before getting in my car and leaving.

I have reached home.

"Hubby?"

"Elizabeth?" I glance around.

"Mommy!" I saw my daughter running towards me. I quickly hugged her.

"I miss you, sweetie! Where's your daddy?" I asked, confused, and looked around.

Is he playing video games again? Didn't I tell him to take care of the land buyer!

"He's inside your room," she replies. In our room? God, this man is playing again for sure. This is giving me a headache.

"By the way, I've brought something for you, sweetie!" I gave her the paper bag, and it has a barbie doll inside it.

"Oh, thanks, Mommy!" she hugged and kissed me on the cheek.

"Is your daddy playing or sleeping?"

"I don't know, but..." She bites her nails.

"But what?" I asked. What does she want to tell me? Looks like she's worried and scared.

"He's with a woman right now. They're both inside the room and yeah, I don't know who that woman is."

"Wait... what woman?"

she shrugged and turned her gaze back to the doll I bought for her.

"They're still in the room, Mommy. I can hear a strange noise when I was about to knock on the door. I was about to ask Daddy if he could buy me some ice cream," she says quietly.

I looked at her. My daughter's face is so innocent. Based on her face, she didn't know who it was and what they're doing.

"Elizabeth, go to your room, and don't go out until I tell you so, okay?" Elizabeth nods at me.

My heart is pounding.

I don't know why he's with a woman in our room right now. Elizabeth said that she doesn't know that woman? Daren doesn't have any sisters, and most of his cousins are all guys.

I'm nervous about what I am going to see now when I open the door. What if they're doing something...

No way, impossible! Hubby can't do that thing to me. During the time we've been together, he never cheats on me. He loves me so much. And lastly, if he's going to cheat, he is not that dumb to bring a woman into our own home, right?

Elizabeth walked upstairs and when she entered her room. I immediately went to where our room was.

"Ma'am Elyse, Sir Daren says that no one should enter." Her voice is low and quiet.

She's Amanda, 49 years old and our one and only maid, she's been working with us for 5 years already.

"Shhh... just go to Elizabeth's room. Make sure that she doesn't come out." I whisper and waited for her to leave completely.

My hands are shaking. I touch the doorknob. I could hear a strange noise as I listen carefully. I swallow nervously.

I was surprised when I opened it and saw them both naked. A blonde young woman was on top of him...

"WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING!!" I yelled at both of them.

I saw the shock on their faces and immediately covered their naked bodies using a blanket. My blanket!

"Are you not ashamed Daren!! You did something hilarious like this inside my house!!" I quickly approached them and pulled the woman's hair.

I raised my eyebrow and laughed for a second. I recognize this f**king face!

"Wow! Aren't you the buyer of our land in Cebu?! You don't just want the land, but you also want my husband!! Is that why you insist to buy our land?!!" I slapped her on both cheeks.

"The hell! Stop it, Elyse!!"

I can't help my smirk when he pushed me on the shoulder, because of that I fell and sat on the floor

.

I quickly stood up and clenched my fist as I stared at the two of them intently.

"You don't want me to hurt her?? But hurting your wife instead is okay with you?!! Your face is so thick, Daren!"

I also slapped him hard on both cheeks. I feel my eyes are starting to hurt.

I could see the concern in his eyes as he looked at that woman. He places his hand on the woman's shoulders. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Both of you are disgusting," I said as I look at them.

"Our daughter is just outside and you're doing something weird here in our room?!! Don't you have a brain!!"

"So, it's okay if we do it somewhere else."

This damn woman! She dares to say that!! I guess she forgot that she's here inside my house and I can do anything for her if I want to!

"Were you born to be flirty? Were you born to steal someone else's husband? Did your mother raise you to be like that!! You're disgusting, I feel like vomiting by just looking at your face!!" Irritation filled her face.

"Well, first of all, I'm not stealing anything, and don't insult my mother because it's my own decision to be like this-- "

"Dumbass, did you even graduated from college? You know what, I feel sorry for you!"

"You should feel sorry for yourself, not me," she said, then smirk at me.

One more word, I will kill you b*tch!

"Yana, you should leave, for now. I'll talk to her for a minute then wait for me to contact you." He even combs that woman's hair.

"Fine!" she picked up her clothes, started getting dressed. She smirked at me before leaving.

The tears started to drip that I had been holding back.

"Elyse-- "he gazes at me, his expression guarded and unreadable.

My teary eyes stared at Daren. "H-How could you do this to me, Daren? Am I not enough for you? I'm doing my best to be a good wife and a mother, but why the f**k did you do this to me!!!"

"I... I don't love you anymore, Elyse. I realized that I'm not staying by your side because I love you, it's because I need to, for Elizabeth. Only for my daughter. I am trying to love you again, to be happy, but I can't."

"But now, I can't stay with you anymore. I can only be a father of our daughter, but not your f**king husband. I need freedom, Elyse! But because of you--"

"Freedom? What do you mean by freedom? I'm letting you do what you want, Darren! Was not that enough for you? And lastly, are you saying you only married me to our daughter and not because you love me?!"

"Unfortunately, yes!"

"What the f**k! Daren! We've been in a relationship for many years, we're married for many years and you're gonna say that all those years you don't love me anymore?!!"

"Haven't you ever been happy with me? All the smiles and your sweetness to me, you're just pretending? Everything that you showed me is fake, Daren?"

"I was happy, but as time goes on, my feelings for you disappear. You're always busy with work, we don't have time together anymore because you're always tired! I don't even remember when is the last time we had s*x! I feel like you love your job more than me..."

"Busy? Seriously? What are we going to eat if I don't work?! I'm looking for a way to give you time! Even though I'm very tired from work, I still cooked for you and Elizabeth. I'm still doing my responsibility as a mother and I am trying to be a good wife to you!"

"Well, do s*x matters to you a lot Daren?! Is married all about s*x for you? Do you want us to have s*x every day so that we can prove that we love each other? What is more important to you s*x or love... s*x or me?" I'm trying to calm down my voice because Elizabeth might hear me.

I don't want her to know what kind of father she has!

"So, are you blaming me for everything? Are you saying I'm lazy? That I should work instead of you?!" he asks, raising his eyebrows at me.

"Yes! Because you are the man!! Every time I come home, you're always playing video games! Aren't you? You're no longer a child for those things, Daren! The one who doesn't have time is you, but I do try to understand you all the time. Didn't you even think about our daughter before you did something like that?"

Didn't you even think about me too?

"If you told me before that you didn't love me, I wouldn't force you! Remember that I'm not a dog who will follow you whenever you leave! I don't care how many years we've been together and how many years we've loved each other. I don't want to be stupid to someone like you!" I can't stop myself from glaring at him.

"Then fine. Let's get divorced! But I'll take Elizabeth with me--" I cut him off to speak because I immediately punched him in the cheek.

"Damn!"

"You?" I ask and smirk.

"You can't keep an eye on her even if you're just at home! Then you say you'll take my daughter with you? I won't allow you to take my child! You should kill me first before that happens." I said coldly.

"She's also my daughter Elyse!!"

Yeah, I know. I'm not stupid, dumb!

"I'll let you visit Elizabeth. I'm going to stop you if you want to visit her, but you can't take her away from me," I muttered and wiped my tears on the cheek.

"Fine! I won't force you!" he said, then started getting dressed. "And about the question you ask early. Yes! S*x is more important to me. I need it! A relationship won't long last without having s*x with their partners, Elyse."

"I'm not going to sleep here," he murmurs before leaving.

That jerk! His face is thick! Those days when we're not doing it... is he doing that to someone else? When did he start cheating on me!

"Then don't! No one will be going to stop you jerk!"

We've known each other for 14 years,

we started being friends until he started courting me until I say yes to him.

We dreamed together, but then I got pregnant. I thought my life would just end up, that my life is already ruined because I got pregnant. But then I thought that the only thing that change is that I only got pregnant but it doesn't mean I can't keep going to school. That won't stop me from graduating high school and college. Getting pregnant can't stop me from achieving my dreams.

I achieved my dream to start my own company. But Daren gives up on his dreams and he chooses to stay at home and taking care of our child.

I was the only one who works instead of him.

I wiped away my tears and sighed. I suddenly remembered what my Mommy told me before.

'A woman should never cry over a man. Because real man won't make you cry, if that man loves you he won't make you cry. If you're going to cry, it's not because he hurt you, it's because he made you happy and that's what they called tears of joy.'

For the first time, he made me cry, and he hurt me this much. He said he doesn't love me anymore, then fine! I'm not going to waste my precious time on someone like him, he's not worth it so, I shouldn't be crying to that jerk... but I can't help it, all those years that we've been together, I can't just forget those memories because I want to. Brain can forget, but the heart doesn't.

I just laughed when I remembered what he told to me before. He said that I'm the only girl he'll love for the rest of his life. That he wouldn't leave me, that he won't ever cheat on me... but now ...all of that happens! He's such a liar, f**king a jerk!

We've known each other for 14 years, we've been together for 12 years. I thought I already knew him very well, but I'm wrong. It doesn't really matter how many years you've known each other or how many years you've been together with your partners. Because time comes that one of you will fall out of love.

Well, I don't believe in forever... tsk, that's a cap. The funniest word that I've ever heard. There's no forever in this world. People die, plants die, animals die... even this world will end too.

You know, reality sucks. All you can do is enjoy your lives because I believe we only live once.

"Mommy? Are you crying?" I stop thinking and looked at my daughter.

"No, sweetheart. Mommy isn't crying."

I didn't realize that tears were dripping from my eyes again, and she wiped them with her left thumb.

"Then, what's this?" at the same time, she showed me her thumb.

"How was your school?" I ask, trying to change the topic.

"It was good, I got A+ again." I smiled because of what she said. She's a smart kid. She reminds me of myself before when I was still a kid like her. But unlike her, I don't have toys. I can't get what I want because my parents are poor.

"Very good, I'll buy you a new toy tomorrow because you got A+."

"I have so many toys already Mommy," she said while her lips are pouting.

"What do you want me to buy then?"

She shrugged. "I don't want you to buy anything. All I want is you, Mom.

Seeing you happy is enough for me..."

"Ha?"

"I just don't want you to get hurt. If you don't love Daddy anymore, then divorce him already. If you're not happy, then leave him." I was shocked by what she said.

Did she know anything? How?

"Elizabeth..."

"Yes, I am only 10 years old, Mom, to think like this already, but I'm smarter than you think. I understood everything that you've been through. I totally understand you." My tears dripped even more because of what my daughter's saying right now.

"Remember that you are not alone Mom, I'm always here, I won't leave you." She hugged me and wiped away my tears.

I'm lucky to have a daughter like her.

"I love you." I kissed her on the cheek and just smiled as I stared at her face. I never regret that your daddy and I made love that day, you're a gift from god.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" I ask and wiped my tears. She nods at me.

I cooked her favorite food, adobo.

"Eat a lot so you don't lose weight," I muttered and smiled at her.

"Mommy, I always eat a lot. You're the one who should eat a lot because you're working to make money." I chuckled. My daughter looks so cute every time she acts like that.

I turned my gaze to Yaya. "Yaya, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, Ma'am Elyse."

"Come on, join us Yaya."

_

I'm already in the bedroom and it's 11 pm. I can't sleep. I used to sleep next to someone, so I'm having a hard time now because Daren isn't here.

He didn't come home, that damn jerk! He didn't even think of his daughter. It's good that Elizabeth didn't ask why her dad was not here.

I was surprised when there was a sudden knock on the door; I stood up and open it.

"Oh, it's already late at night, sweetie. Why are you still awake?"

"Ahm--"

"Wait, are you hurt? Are you sick?" I checked her forehead if she's hot or something.

"Mommy relax, I'm okay." I took a deep breath.

Whenever my daughter gets sick, I am panicking. I'm just scared of losing her. She's all I have...now.

"So, why are you here, then?"

"I can't sleep, because I know you can't sleep easily when you're not next to someone." I just smiled because of her behavior lately. She acts matured these days. Nobody would think that she's just 10 years old to think and act like that.

"You want to sleep next to Mommy then?" I bend and kissed her all over the face. She chuckled.

"Yeah, I want to be with you now." she entered the room and locked the door. She pulled my hand towards to the bed.

"Shouldn't you go to bed early Mommy because you still have work tomorrow, right?"

Oh yeah, I have a meeting tomorrow morning around 10 am.

We both lay down on the bed. She hugged me tightly." Good night, I love you, Mom." She smiled adoringly at me. She kissed my cheek before closing her eyes.

Elizabeth deserves a happy and complete family, but now Daren and I don't understand each other anymore, we're planning to divorce... that's okay Elyse! You can be a mother and father to her, you can do it! Just believe in yourself.

Before we're just poor, but I am happy because I'm with my Mom and dad. I am their only daughter and they love me so much. I grow up with loving and caring parents. Sadly, they died when I was 18. It's my exact birthday. We're in the jeep together with my parents...

We got into an accident, I'm one of those lucky passengers who got survive. Unlucky, my parents don't.

2 months later,

"Thank you for working with us for almost six years, Yaya."

"You're welcome, Ma'am. I won't forget your kindness." I hugged her, then she hugged me back.

I have to do this because I don't have any money to pay her anymore, and we're about to leave this house right now. I am selling this land and house.

Daren and I finally aren't together anymore. He went to his woman, and he took the company's money that I worked so hard for. He even tried to ruin me on social media. He says that I am the one who cheats!

"Mommy, I'm hungry. What are we going to eat today?" She asked. I looked at her and held her cheek.

"Mommy hasn't bought any food yet, baby, but there's an apple in the ref. Just go get it and eat it for now. Let's just wait for the buyer of our house and then after that, I'll buy you food, okay?"

"Okay," she smiled.

I heard the doorbell, so I immediately stood up and opened the door.

"Hello, good morning-" I was surprised because five men suddenly entered our house and I was shocked when they started destroying things inside my house.

I ran into Elizabeth and hugged her tightly. I can feel her handshaking.

"Elizabeth, go to your room!" she nods and immediately runs to her room.

"What are you doing! Who the hell are you!!" I shouted at them. I tried to stop the man from breaking our family picture but he pushed me away.

"What the f**k!! I said stop it!!" I shouted, but they didn't listen, I just stared at them destroying all the furniture, vase, tv... they even broke the chairs and table.

A few minutes later I didn't realize that they had left already, I just felt someone shaking my shoulder.

"Hey, Mommy? Mommy?!" I looked at Elizabeth, who was now in front of me.

"Are you okay Mommy?" that question made me cry. I touched her cheek and looked at her face to see if she had a scar or if she's hurt.

"O-Oh y-yeah, Mommy is okay, sweetie." I wipe my tears away and forced myself to smile at her.

I can't show my daughter that I'm weak. I have to be strong for her.

I know that this is Daren's plan again! That shameless jerk! He didn't even feel sorry for her daughter!

He stole the money from my company; the company went bankrupt; I lose my company because of him and now his next target is my house! All right, just keep it up, Daren. I don't care at all, take money, take this land and damn house. Take everything just except my daughter. I'm going to turn you into pieces if you'll try to do that.

_

"I was going to sell those things, but they broke it all," I explain to Mindy.

We're here now at my cousin's house, she's Mindy Cruz, 26 years old.

Elizabeth is already sleeping now. I told her to sleep because it's late at night and I know she's tired from the trip.

The buyer arrived early, and she gave only a small amount of money because of the damages. I can't decline because I need money to go here. I need to buy food for my daughter.

I'm going to look for a job so I can support my daughter. I gotta enroll her in her new school tomorrow.

I was able to graduate from high school and college without my parents. I work, doing my responsibility as a mother and a wife at the same time. I've been through a lot before, but I didn't give up.

I'm the type of woman who doesn't give up easily. They say everything happens for a reason.

The world will not be destroyed yet so, I'll not give up. I shouldn't just give up, especially for my Elizabeth. I can handle it. I can do this.

"So, when are you going to look for a place to stay, Elyse?"

"I don't know, Mindy, can we just stay here? I'll just help you with your house bills and chores. You're the last person I can ask for help."

"Of course you two can live here. Why not? I'm all alone in here. Of all cousins, you're my favorite Elyse. Have you forgotten that you're the one who helps me continue my study, you even help me build this house. Now, it's time for me to repay your kindness."

"Are you saying that we can live here for the main time?"

"You can live here forever if you want to." She laughed after saying that.

"Thank you very much." I hugged her tightly. "I... I honestly don't have anyone else to ask for help." I wiped my tears.

"Shhh... don't cry Elyse, your daughter might hear you." I tried myself to come down.

"By the way, when do you plan to find a job?" She asked, and I shrugged.

"Is there still a vacant at the restaurant where you work? Even just being a janitor, it's okay for me."

"Oh, sorry Elyse..."

"Uhm, it's okay. I'll just take care of it, I'll try to find some online jobs, or maybe they're posting some jobs on Facebook, that is just near here."

_

We went to bed, and the next day I take care of Elizabeth first. I took her to her new school, then after that, I started looking for a job online.

I'm just here, sitting on the bench while scrolling on my phone. I hold my phone tightly; I have to be careful! My phone may get stolen.

"Hiring assistant-- "I didn't finish reading that because someone suddenly grabbed my phone. My eyes widened because of that. I quickly chased the man who took my phone. He's wearing a black t-shirt and pants.

Even though I didn't see his face clearly, I know he's handsome, just sad because he's a thief.

I took off my shoes on my left foot and continued running.

"Hey! Give me back my phone!!" I shouted at the man. He looked at me but still running.

"Damn! I hope you'll get hit." I closed one eye and threw my shoes at him hard. It hit his head and he suddenly fell.

I quickly went to him and took my phone. I punched him back and pulled his hair.

"Damn you!! Did you think that I couldn't catch you!! Don't you know that I entered sports in high school, I won the gold medal when there's an event in our school!"

He suddenly pushed me so I sat on the ground. He quickly ran away from me. When I look at my phone, it has a crack, and doesn't want to open it anymore.

Seriously?

Good news, I got my phone back. The bad news is that it's broken.

How unlucky I am! I hope I'll get lucky and finally found a job tomorrow.
