Chapter 1

Waking up to the sound of the alarm she had earlier set on her phone, she groaned in frustration as she sat erect to study her environment.

Yawning, she winced to the rays that landed on her face and after a few minutes of adjusting her eyes to the light, She found herself still in the hospital with her mom lying on the bed.

She was sound asleep and she still looked beautiful.

Her mom extremely sick and needs a huge sum of money in other for her to have her treatment done.

Juliet would do anything to get her hands on such money.

Her mother meant the world to her and she won't be able to bear losing her mother.

She could still remember when her mother, would sew her clothes from rags she got from neighbors just to make sure she had something to wear.

Although they were poor, they were extremely happy together.

It was just the two of them and no one else.

Pecking her forehead, she checked her time only for her to find out that she was almost late for work.

In a rapid movement,she took up her bag on the table and left the room.

She decided to to trek to her work place since she had no money to board a cab.

On reaching the restaurant, she found her manager flaring up as always.

" Juliet you are late!" He yelled glaring at her but she didn't really care.

" I'm sorry it won't happen again" she said slowly making her way to the kitchen.

She came out ready to serve the ordered dishes.

She worked there as a waitress in a restaurant.

It wasn't a bad job but at least she could get her hands on money to survive.

Walking up to a couple, she flashed a smile before dropping the plates she had on the tray.

At a distance not so far away from where she stood, she saw some men staring at her.

" Waitress" one of them called clicking his hands gesturing her to come.

She went to them and took their orders.

Returning to them, she brought along a cup of coffee, sushi and a couple of other things they had ordered.

The constant sexy looks they gave her continued but she decided to ignore them.

" Here is your coffee" she said dropping their order on the table.

" And the rice?" The first guy asked

" I'll get it now" she turned to leave when one of them dragged her by the hand.

" You look like the fisty type" he said. His eyes ran over the length of her body admiring her sexy shape.

Juliet could all ready sense that he has a bad Intention.

She decided to bury her feelings inside.

Yanking her hand away from his, she turned to leave when he touched her butt.

This got her really annoyed. She hated when anyone touched her like that.

She glared at the guy before landing a hot slap on his face.

The man held his face tightly unable to believe a girl, a nobody slapped him.

Juliet loved the look on his face.

He straighten himself up and threatened to hit her but her words stopped him.

" Go ahead. What are you waiting for? Men like you love hitting ladies right?"She yelled not afraid of what could happen next.

He grabbed her by the arm digging his nails deep into her skin.

Taking up the hot coffee on the table, Juliet didn't hesitate before pouring it on him.

Everyone's attention drew to them as the man screamed in pain.

Stephen her friend came out rushing to the scene.

He was the one who helped her in getting a job at the restaurant.

This wasn't the first time Juliet has had an argument with a customer.

Stephen dragged her to the side.

" What did you do?" He asked.

" I did the right thing. I taught him a little lesson" she stared at the guy.

His face was red hot and his dress was messed up.

" I'll make sure you pay for this" he pointed to Juliet.

The manager rushed out on hearing the commotion.

" What is going on?" He yelled making everyone freeze in their position.

With all heads turned at him, he looked at the guy throwing the tantrums.

" Mr what happened to you?" He asked stepping closer to them.

" It's your useless waitress. She did this to me" he pointed slowly rubbing his cheeks.

The manager looked at Juliet.

She rolled her eyes and held the tray close to her chest.

" Is this true?" He asked.

" Yes it is. I only did it because he..."

" I don't want to hear your explanations" he interrupted cutting her words short.

" But you.." she tried to speak again. The manager raised up his hand gesturing her to keep quiet.

She closed her mouth and folded her hands Into a fist.

" I think you should fire her" the first guy suggested.

Stephen shook his head and walked closer to the manager.

" Sir, I think we should hear from both parties" he suggested.

" That's enough Stephen. How long will you side with her? It's not the first time she has done something like this and you know it" he pointed to Juliet.

" What do you have to say?" The manager directed his question to Juliet.

Juliet bit her lower lip till a little blood formed on her lips.

She didn't regret anything. She believed such people should be thought an even greater lesson.

" I don't have to say anything. The only thing I will say is that he deserves it. I don't regret anything" she snapped rolling her eyes.

" It's either you apologize to my customer or you are fired" the manager said with his tone holding every form of anger.

Juliet looked at him in awe before shifting her gaze to the guy she had earlier poured hot coffee on.

A long smirk formed on his lips as he stared at her. Taking a step forward, Juliet stood in front of him exhaling.

As usual the manager would always side with the customer. She should have been used to this.

" I'm waiting" the man said slightly tilting his head at her.

" Fu*k you" she made the sign with her finger not giving a damn.

"You see, she isn't feeling remorse for her actions. Fire her now, or you will loose an important customer and that's me" he threatened making Juliet scoff at his words as well as his attitude.

" Juliet I gave you a chance to correct your mistake. You are fi.."

He wasn't able to complete his sentence as Juliet I interrupted him.

" Damn you all. I don't need your stupid job and I definitely don't need to apologize to some low life.

You can't fire me, you know why? because I quit" she dropped the tray to the ground. It made an unpleasant sound.

Before stephen could meet her,She was already out of the restaurant.

" What do you mean you quit?" He turned her around making her to look at him.

" That's it! I quit. You heard me. I can't work in a place that won't give me the respect I deserve" she said

She took out the ribbon from her hair which revealed her long silky hair which fell on her shoulders.

Stephen still had a confused look on his face.

He could remember when Juliet was eager to work and now she is quitting.

He thought of what to say to change her mind but before he could utter a word, Juliet had already left his presence.

Today wasn't just a good day for her.

The fact that she lost her job didn't affect her because she had another job which could help her to survive.

The buzzing sound of her phone attracted her attention.

She brought her face up to her face to view the caller ID, she figured out that it was madam Sasha.

Picking the call" Hello good morning ma'am" she greeted.

"Where are you? You should be here and not whenever you are.

Remember your day off has already ended so come back here.

Besides remember that Madam's sons will be arriving today and we need all the help we can get" she said over the phone.

" Yes madam Sasha. I'll be there, I promise" she said.

Still talking, she crossed the road but went numb when a car almost ran her over.

✨Airport

Standing outside the airport was the press waiting eagerly for the one and only Victor Gomez who was one of the most richest bachelor's ever known.

He is one of the owner of the world most renowned business.

Everything he owned, he got it through hard work and because of that, his company is number one in the rank.

The girlish screams and stares attracted the attention of everyone at the airport as their eyes met Victor.

The press gathered round him trying to get a glimpse of him.

" Are you ready?" One of the reporters asked.

The camera man nodded directing the camera to her.

"One, two and go" the man said.

" My name is Glen reporting live on CCMC as one of new York's most eligible bachelors Mr victor Gomez accompanied by his brother James Gomez is seen at NY international airport"

The camera man swiftly turns his camera to Victor and James who was slowly making their way out of the airport.

Soon, everyone crowded around them.

The bodyguards with them, tried to make way in order for them to get to the car.

" So tell us Mr Victor, what are your plans now that you have returned home after a long time?" One of the reporters asked but victor wasn't in the mood to respond to such questions instead he continued making his way to the car.

The bright lights from the cameras and phone's made him wince.

" Do you plan on settling down or Maybe perhaps, get married?" Another asked making victor freeze.

Scoffing at the question, he turned to look at the one who asked it.

"If you are in fact looking for someone to settle down with, I could be that person" the female reporter said flashing him a sexy smile which only irritated him.

"Really? I wouldn't think of settling down with someone like you.

You look like a bone on a stake" he said in a cold voice making everyone around gasp.

Some tried to hide their laughter while some outrightly went ahead to laugh making the female reporter feel stupid.

She ran out in tears feeling utterly ashamed.

Victor didn't feel remorseful for his Instead he continued his walk to his car.

" Sir, please we need you to answer some of our questions" the reporters said trying to move closer to him.

And although the bodyguards tried their best to keep them away from Victor, they kept following him till he got to his car.

The bodyguard near by opened the door and he got in.

James on the other hand, was enjoying the conversation with the press.

They took several pics of him and he readily gave answers to their multiple questions.

"What's up with him?" Victor asked staring at his wrist wratch before averting his gaze to his brother who had a smile on his face as they kept taking several pics of him.

" Boss, Mr James told me to inform you that he might take a while" the bodyguard informed.

Hissing" Drive!" He ordered and Immediately, the car drove off.

The long drive continued but stopped when the car almost ran over a girl.

Stepping out was the driver who ran to meet Juliet.

" Ma'am are you okay?" He asked moving closer to her.

Juliet who lay lifeless on the floor, sat erect and glared at the driver who knocked her off her feet.

" Are you blind that you can't see where you are driving. I could have died because of your careless act" she yelled staring at her dress which was stained with mud.

" I'm sorry but you came into the vehicle" he said bending down to her level.

She looked at her clothes. It was messy and dirty. She looked like one of those street dogs she usually see on the streets.

She was furious.

" You didn't see and that's why you almost killed me.

Look at my lovely dress. It's ruined all thanks to you!"

Still staring at herself, she stood up trying to dust away the dirt but it did not good.

" It wasn't my intention. I'm absolutely sorry" he said apologing sincerely.

" What's going on?"

Juliet heard a voice say. Judging from the voice it belonged to a man.

She went to the direction of the voice, placing her face close to the window, she couldn't see anything.

Slowly, the window was lowered.

It revealed a young dashing man with piercing blue eyes like that of the ocean.

His hair was combed to the back.

He had a high cheek bones which enhanced his beauty.

Juliet was mesmerized by his.

Her rage seemed to die on seeing him.

She backed away from his window.

" What's going on?" He asked again.

" Well... Your driver over here almost killed me and because of him, my dress is ruined" she said holding out her dress.

" Is that it?" He said in a cold manner.

" Yes" she simply answered

He chuckled darkly.

" Because of that, you are making a big fuss. You are making it look like a big deal" he shook his head.

Hearing his words made Juliet's anger resurface.

Trying to suppress her anger, she clutched the sides of her dress.

" What do you mean by that?" She snapped at him.

The man seemed surprised by her sudden out Burst.

" You are calling it a fuss? It's not a big deal? To you it might not be a big deal but to me it is. It is a very big deal" she yelled

" Of course it would be a big deal to poor people like you. That doesn't give you any right to stop my driver. Now take yourself and go" he turned his gaze away from her.

" Oh really. I dare you to step out of your car and tell me this isn't a big deal" she said.

Right now, her anger has risen. She was expecting an apology or something like that but instead she didn't get it.

Victor stepped out of the car.

He was tall, broad and muscular. He looked left and right before turning his gaze to Juliet.

" You know, people like you should stop wasting your time on people like us. You have better things to be doing right?" He asked.

" I do have better things to be doing but because of your stupid driver, he destroyed my plans" Juliet said.

" How much is your dress? Why am I even asking you? You could just place any price on it because you have seen a victim" he said

Juliet couldn't believe her ears. He thought that she would use him because of this situation. Juliet was definitely not that kind of girl.

He brought out a note from his pocket. He held Juliet's hand and dropped the note on her hand.

Juliet stared at the note. It was a 20,000$ note.

Juliet was surprised. She looked at the man in front of her. He had a wide smirk on.

" I'm sure that would pay for your dress.." he stared at the dress with disgust before rolling his eyes.

"... And get you a better life" he completed.

Juliet gritted her teeth in annoyance.

She held his hand and placed the money on his palm.

" I'm sure you need this money. I don't need your filthy and stupid money do you hear me?" She yelled.

Her voice could be heard every where.

" All I need is a simple apology and that's it".

Victor gave an inward laughter.

The girl expects him of all people to apologize.

" Boss, we need to go" the driver said.

" You see, you are wasting both our times. You should go do what you love doing best. Continue begging. It suites you" he gestured her to leave exactly the said way you would do a dog.

Juliet felt like grinding him him with a stone. She folded her fingers to the extent her knuckles turned white.

Victor turned to leave when Juliet dragged him back holding his collar with a strong

The driver gasped and opened his mouth blinking several times.

" I am not a begger you hear me. I work for everything I own" she spoke with gritted teeth.

" Madam what are you doing? You don't know who he is" the driver said.

Juliet still held on to his collar.

" Please let go of his collar"

He pleaded.

" How dare you?" Victor said yelling.

His eyes were red and bursting with rage.

Due to their argument, few people around began to gather round.

Stephen who have been following juliet ran from where he stood and approached them. He looked at Juliet before looking at the man in front of her.

He was shocked to see the famous victor.

" Juliet what are you doing? Let go of him right now" he ordered but juliet wasn't willing to listen neither was she willing to let go.

Stephen forcefully pulled her hands away.

" Do you know what you have just done? Do you know who he is?" He asked.

He was talking but she wasn't listening.

Her gaze was fixed on victor.

Stephen held her by the hand and pulled her away.

" You are going to pay for this young lady"

Victor growled

" Boss, people are watching" the driver said looking around to see people watching their little fight.

" Oh really. I will pay? I don't think so. We are both equal. Just because you go around in that suit and with this flashy car doesn't make you any different from me or anyone else"

She yelled pulling her hands away from victor.

" Juliet!" Stephen yelled.

Seeing as stubborn she was at the moment, Stephen wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her away.

The driver whispered something into Victor's ear.

Victor looked at Juliet before entering the car.

In just a matter of minutes they were gone.

" Let me go!" She pushed him away.

" Have you gone crazy? You should really keep your emotions in check. You have no idea what you have done" he said following her.

"I know how to keep my emotions in check. But I won't when it comes to people like him. Why is today going wrong?" She buried her face in her palms looking frustrated.

Stephen sighed.

" It's ok. Let's go home maybe you might calm down" he said.

" It's not okay. He called me a filthy begger. I am anything but a begger. I hate that name" she frowned

" Alright. I'll take you home?" He asked.

" No. I have somewhere to go"

" I understand. I will meet you at home then" he said.

He gave her a warm hug before he left.

*

Victor was enraged by the girl he met. No one has ever insulted him the way she did. He kept remembering everything she said and did to him.

If he had his way, he would have buried her six foot under.

An hour later, they got home.

There, all the maids arranged themselves in a straight line awaiting his return.

Stepping out of the car, he took a step forward but stopped.

The driver also stepped out.

With his hands in the pocket, he turned to the driver.

" You are fired!"

He coldly said making the driver open his mouth in shock.

" Sir why?" He asked with a shaky tone.

" The reason is simple. Because of you, a stupid bush girl had to insult me.

If your eyes were on the road, I wouldn't have been insulted today"

" I'm really sorry sir. Please reconsider" he pleaded but his pleas fell deaf to Victor's ears.

" Don't make me repeat myself. I hate it when I have to repeat my words. Now, I don't want to see you anywhere around me or around this environment"

After finishing his words, he headed to where the maids stood.

" Good afternoon sir" bowing their heads, they greeted but he didn't utter a word as to reply.

His gaze went to each and every one of them.

One of the maids kept glancing at the handsome man before her.

Her actions didn't go unnoticed by victor who seemed annoyed with it.

Walking to the lady he spoke.

" Look at me" he ordered.

With slow movements, she raised her head to take a full look at him.

" Like what you see?" He asked and she nodded looking into his eyes.

" Words" he demanded staring at the maid who was fidgeting in front of him.

"Yes I do" she meekly answered.

He wasn't surprised. Girls did drool over him.

A smirk formed on his lips.

"Good. You are fired" he said and walked past the maid leaving them all in utter shock.

Mrs Sasha came to meet victor.

" Welcome master" she greeted bowing her head but got no response from him.

" Madam would love to see you" she Informed.

" Get my bath ready" those words left his lips as he went up in the direction of his room.

Madam Sasha looked at his retracting Figure before going to do exactly what he ordered.

*

Juliet had to walk all the way to the mansion where she worked as a maid looking dirty.

There, she met madam Sasha giving out orders.

She immediately changed to her maid's attire and came to meet her.

" Good afternoon madam Sasha" she greeted.

" You are late" clicking her hand she signalled a maid to come forward.

She came forward with towels, blankets and pillowcases.

" Take it" she said.

Juliet took it from the maid.

" What's this for?" She asked.

" Take this to the master's room.

Third room to the left" she ordered pointing up towards the staircase.

Juliet stared towards the direction she pointed before looking at miss

" But isn't this Fiona's job?" Juliet asked.

" It was but not anymore. She got fired" she informed and a gasp left Juliet's lips.

" What? Why?" She asked with a surprise expression on her face.

" Madam's son fired her.

We are going to have to bring in new recruits because it seems like alot of people will be saying goodbye to their work and if you don't want to be one of them, do as you are told" she warned before leaving.

Juliet took the materials in her hand up to the room.

The room was wide open a she got in and dropped it on the king sized bed.

She was about to leave when her eyes caught a gold wrist watch lying on the table which attracted her attention.

Wanting to take a better look, she went closer to it and taking it up from the table, she stared at it but the next thing she heard was a deep voice from behind her.

" Thief!" A man who had stepped out of the bathroom yelled pulling her hair.

His grip was strong as she winced in pain.

Turning around, she was shocked with the sight before her.

His crazy little maid

Mending his broken heart

Chapter 2

Thief!" A man yelled pulling her hair.

Turning around, she was shocked with the sight before her.

A man who was almost naked stood in front of her as water dripped from his wet hair and onto his body stood in front of.

He was another handsome creature she was sure that girls would drool over.

She have never seen him around here which made her know he was

" Thief" He said forcefully taking away the wrist watch from her hand.

" What did you say?" She asked although she heard what he said the first time.

" I said you are a thief. You wanted to steal my gold wrist watch" still speaking, he held the watch up to her face showcasing it's worth.

" I am not a thief and I wouldn't want to steal that" she pointed to the watch.

Although the watch was worth alot, she never had the intention of stealing.

" But you would have if I hadn't caught you" he said.

Stepping forward,she closed the distance between them.

" Look here mister, I am not a thief and you better mind your words" her words showed she was agitated as she pointed at him with glaring eyes.

Seeing her attitude, James raised his hands in a form of surrender as he didn't want to get her anymore upset.

He wasn't a fan of upsetting the ladies.

" Alright alright. You are not a thief"

He said but the look she gave him didn't change at all.

" What..." He asked when he still found her glaring continuously at him.

" Apologize" She simply said.

James almost choked on hearing the word.

" Me?" Pointing to himself he asked as he turned both ways as though someone else was in the room but no it was just them.

Looking at her dressing, he saw that she was wearing a maids attire and besides that he found her attractive.

Wanting to change the look on her face, he lazily rolled his eyes as he let the words

" I am sorry" The words slipped out from his mouth.

" There I apologized now please change the look on your face" muttering the words he spoke, he went to his wardrobe and got out his garment.

A little smile formed on her lips.

" You must be Madam's son" she spoke and he gave a nod.

" You seem nice but I don't understand why you fired Fiona"

Confusion plastered on his face on hearing her.

" Fiona? who's that and why would I want to fire h..."

Pausing a bit he remembered the person that could do such a thing and that was his brother victor.

He knew his brother really well, victor is a no nonsense person.

Any mistake and you are gone.

He gave a chuckle after which he shook his head.

" That isn't Me. It's my brother, only he would do such" he said with a smile.

" Your brother, I thought you were the only child of Madam"

" Well now you know" he said.

Looking at him, she attempted to leave but was prohibited when he held her hand and came to stand in front of her.

" You never did tell me your name" he spoke flashing a smile on his handsome face.

" Juliet" she simply said and tried to leave once more but once again, he held her wrist.

" Wouldn't you want to know mine?" Juliet had no intention of knowing his name so she shook her head and glanced at his hand holding her wrist.

"You are really something. Anyway, my name is James and I hope to see you around"

Juliet gaze didn't leave her wrist as he still held her.

James followed her line of sight and seeing that he still held onto her, he slowly released her wrist.

Without hesitation, she left the room and the only thing James could do was to stare at her retreating figure which brought a smile to his face.

He didn't understand it but he felt attracted to her.

Shrugging, he went to the dressing room to change.

*

Victor who has just had a long bath stepped out of the room and went to the direction of the garden where his mother was clearly awaiting his arrival.

Under the little canopy in the garden, he sighted her and walked towards her, taking a seat when he approached the canopy.

" I'm so glad you made it"

Using her thumb and her middle finger, she clicked her hand signalling the maid who stood by the side to step forward presenting a trolley of food with lots of delicacies.

All seemed good to him but he didn't show any sign of interest instead he only gave a continuous Stern look.

His mother always hated that look. That plain, cold look he always gave. she had tried numerous times to change it but her efforts were in vain.

" Now that you are back what do you plan on doing?" His mother Natasha asked but he didn't give a response making the atmosphere seem awkward.

At once the maid served the food and once she was done, she stood by the side as always.

Picking up the fork he began to dine on the French fries served.

Thinking victor didn't hear her, she tried to ask again" Vic..." She wasn't able to complete her word as victor Interrupted.

" I heard you the first time" his deep voice interrupted her.

" And to your question, I came here only for business purposes and nothing more"

He spoke placing another badge of fries into his mouth, but after that, everywhere fell deaf silent again.

" Oh... okay" she said.

" But don't you have plans of settling down with a woman"

Immediately her words penetrated his ears, he slammed his hand on the table making his mother along with the maid who stood by the side to startle in fear.

" Why do you have to ruin my lunch?" He asked with an angry voice.

His mother tried to hide the pain she felt but was unable to as she let tears roll down her cheeks.

Taking a deep breath which helped to calm him, he changed his tone to a calmer tone as he spoke.

" I'm sorry but I ask this of you, never ever tell me about settling down again" he stood up and went to his room.

Victor never ever liked the thought about settling down with a woman after the last incident that happened.

Stepping inside, he closed the door and decided to spend the rest of the day in his room.

When morning came, he dressed up to go to his company.

He had earlier informed his personal assistant about his arrival and how they needed to get everything set.

Going downstairs, he stepped out and met his mom with Sasha the head maid talking to each other.

" So do this and you won't have problems" she intended to go on but stopped when she noticed victor all dressed up and ready to leave.

" Where are you going?" She asked.

" The company" he simply replied heading to the car where the new driver was waiting for him.

" I thought you would rest for a few days" making way for him, he opened the door and stepped in lowering the glass window down.

" If I had spend my entire time resting, I'm sure I wouldn't have made it up to this point" he spoke referring to his progress in life.

" Drive" he ordered and at once the car drove off stopping at the company.

💫Z's enterprises

The production team has already gathered round awaiting for their one and only boss, victor Gomez.

Along with the staffs, they were basically running around trying to make things look their possible best.

He wasn't an easy person to impress.

They had already worked hard on their presentation to the extent that they made lots of sacrifices just to make their presentation worth it.

Stepping into the company, he found the employees standing in a straight line.

Without glancing or responding to their greetings,he made his way past them and went into the room where the production team were eagerly waiting for him.

Accompanying him was his personal assistant who followed him from behind.

The staffs all stood to acknowledge his presence

He took his seat but the staffs were still standing waiting for him to gesture them all to seat but when none came, they figured that they would stand through out the presentation.

" So what do we have?" He asked.

Stepping forward was the manager of the production team, Mark.

He brought forward the necessary files.

Taking a look at the file, a frown arched his brows and an even deeper one has he raised his head to stare at mark.

" What's this rubbish?" He glared at Mark who was fidgeting like a chicken left in the rain.

"Sir, the files contains a list...of..of the..our ideas.." he Stammered but wasn't able to complete his sentence as he was cut off by victor who continuously gave him a deadly glare.

" Ideas? This is trash.

Am I working with fools or professional huh?" He asked but none of them have an answer.

Who would dare to answer.

" Answer me!" He slammed his hand on the desk.

" Professionals sir" they all muttered.

" Shut up!" He flared

" I'm working with perfect fools. If you were professionals, you would have brought up a better idea for the company"

He sighed staring at Mark who couldn't look his boss in the eye before shifting his gaze to the other members.

" Work on this again and I need better results if not all of you will be fired" he said and angrily got up.

" And I need it tomorrow morning" he added as he walked towards the door.

A woman sat there contemplating whether or not to speak and when she gathered the courage to speak, she went for it.

" Sir please, I need to take a day off. My child is seriously sick and I need to be with him" she asked with pleading eyes.

" You are fired!" He yelled

" Now you have all the time to take care of your child" he said and left the room.

The staffs around the lady tried to comfort her as tears rolled freely down her cheeks.

"So, what do we have? What's my schedule for the day?" He asked his personal assistant.

" Sir, you have a board meeting with the board of directors in an hour and you are also expected to be in a meeting with Mr David concerning the hotel in a twenty minutes" she blurted looking at her wrist watch.

" Is that so?" He asked.

He already have a lot on his table.

"Yes sir" she replied although he didn't really need an answer.

" Postpone my meetings with Mr David till tomorrow morning" he said.

" Why sir?" She asked and victor turned to glare at her.

" I..I need to tell Mr... David... something" stammering she saw she was in a lot of trouble so she quickly muttered.

" I'm so Sorry" she said with her head lowered.

James who had been waiting for victor came to meet him and from there, they worked to his office.

"So what are you doing today?" James asked but instead Victor asked his ignoring his question.

"How was your little conversation with the press?" He asked knowing how his brother loved the attention he got.

" Great but you haven't answered my question" he said.

Shrugging, victor went to take his seat behind his mahogany desk.

" Nothing" he simply replied taking up files on his table.

"Don't tell me that. Let's go out to grab something to eat. What do you say?"

" I'm not really in the mood" he leaned back on his swivel chair.

" Common" he gave a pleading look but still victor wasn't able to change his mind.

Realizing that victor wouldn't change his mind anytime soon, James stood up and left the office.

After James was gone, victor continued with work till he retired to his home.

Heading to his room, he heard the barking of a dog which distrubted his ear making him stop.

Walking In the direction of the sound, he met a dog.

The continuous barking continued.

A maid came to meet the dog dropping a plate of dog food to the floor.

He kept watching as she tried to get the dog to eat but couldn't.

"Make it stop" he growled in a low tone which was still terrifying.

"I'm trying sir" she spoke stroking it's fur.

Stepping in front of the dog, he glared at the barking dog and for a short moment, the dog stayed quiet.

" Who's in charge of taking care of the dog?" He asked

"Juliet sir" she responded.

Before he could say further, a girl ran past him and went to the dog squatting down to it's level.

On seeing her, it immediately kept quiet and began to wag it's tail.

" Juliet..."Blinking her eyes, the maid tried to signal her about Victor's presence but she couldn't make out what she was trying to say.

" What's wrong with your eyes?" Juliet asked seeing the way her eyes continuously blinked.

"Her eyes is fine but what's wrong with you? I think you are blind not to notice me" A deep voice spoke making her shudder.

" You are the one who is blind. Just go away" still not turning, she patted the dog's head.

The dog who seemed to love her actions wagged its tail.

" How dare you?" He spoke dragging her head.

Due to the force on her head, she stood, turning around, she tried to land a slap on the idiot that dared to pull her head.

Victor who saw a hand flying to his direction was quick enough to grip her hand stopping her actions.

A surprised look which quickly washed away and replaced by an angry look formed on his face as he stared at the girl who not only tried to slap him but also embarrassed him on his way back home.

" You?!" She exclaimed with her eyes opened.

His eyes blazed with anger.

" Did you just try to slap me?" His tone was frightening but Juliet didn't seem to care one bit.

" And I would have if you hadn't hold my hand"

The grip her hand was tight and it felt like he was crushing her bone.

Yanking her hand away, she glared at him.

Mean while the maid who stood by the side was shaking as the atmosphere was tense.

" Do you have any idea who I am?" Victor asked staring at her maid's attire.

" I DON'T CARE" she emphasized on each word rolling her eyes.

" Juliet... He is our Madam's son" the maid informed.

At her words Juliet's mouth flew open.

She tried to find words to speak but none came out.

A wide smirk formed on Victor's lips as he was sure to make her pay for humiliating him and right now, he was thinking of so many ways to make her life hell.

" You are...." She couldn't complete her words as it seemed to get stuck on her throat.

She swallowed hard staring at the man in front of her.

"Apologize" he said in a Stern voice.

" I'm sorry but you kind of deserved it. I mean you pulled my hair forcefully" she said and victor got even more upset with her words.

" Your apology is worthless to me. I will make you pay for what you did to me" he growled In a low menacing tone.

" I did.."

Interrupted by Victor's voice, the next thing she heard made her mouth open and her eyes to widen.

" You are fired!" He said.

His crazy little maid

Mending his broken heart

Chapter 3

" Your apology is worthless to me. I will make you pay for what you did to me" he growled In a low menacing tone.

" I did.."

She stopped when she got Interrupted by Victor's voice, the next thing she heard made her mouth open and her eyes widened.

" You are fired!" He said.

The maid who stood by the side shuddered as his words.

Juliet couldn't believe her ears.

A job she has managed to get her hands on, now she would have to say goodbye to it just because of him.

" You can't fire me besides you didn't hire me" she said pouting her lips as she confidently crossed her hands on her chest.

He raised his brows and slightly shook his head.

" I own this house and whoever works In it obeys me. Now what do you have to say?" He asked.

" You are cruel and wicked. I'm sure you won't be able to find love because of your attitude. I did nothing but yet you want to see me suffer. Fuck you and your house" she said with hot tears stinging her eyes but she made sure it didn't pour down her cheeks.

She didn't want him to see her cry.

She didn't want to see him having the satisfaction of seeing her break down and in the process making her look weak.

Victor stood there shocked by her words. He was expecting her to plead to him, to tamper Justice with mercy but none came instead here she is telling him he won't find 'love' .

Fuck love.

" Get out!" He said angrily.

" I regret nothing of what I did and if I had the chance I would have done more because you are a stupid scoundrel" she said almost yelling.

Juliet wanted to say more things to him but because she couldn't hold back her tears, she quickly ran away.

That was her last hope in getting money for her mother's treatment.

Juliet immediately got her things and left the mansion.

Still walking away, her phone rang and staring at the caller ID, she found out that it was the hospital calling.

She thought of the possible news they would give to her and in each one, she hoped and prayed it would be a good news.

" Hello, doc" she said

"I need to talk to you about something very important and it can't be said over the phone.Can you drop by the hospital, it's about your mother" the doctor said.

At his words, her heart raced.

All she could do at the moment was to pray that nothing should happen to her mother.

" Yes doc. I'll be there as soon as possible"

On reaching the hospital, she ran to the ward her mother was kept.

Standing a few feet away from her mother was the doctor who was doing a routine check on her.

Sighting her, he hung his stethoscope around his neck.

" What happened to her?" Juliet asked with her gaze fixed on her mother.

" Follow me" the doctor said walking towards the door.

Juliet followed from behind nervously pinching her hand

" We really need to start operating on your mother or else we might lose her. You only have two weeks to raise the money" he spoke.

" Please do what you can to help her" she said as her eyes made a pleading look.

" I can't do anything now it's all up to you. You have to start depositing the money before we can operate on her"

" How much is it?" Although the doctor had earlier told her the amount she still felt like she needed to hear it.

With a sigh leaving his lips, he said.

"600,000$" he said and at this point Juliet felt like collapsing.

She didn't know where to get her hands on such money.

A nurse ran to meet them.

" Doctor we need your attention"immediately she delivered the message she ran in the direction from which she came from.

The doctor followed suite leaving Juliet who was literally breaking down.

She returned to her mother's ward and sat down there with her.

Staring at her mother brought more tears to her.

She sat there until night came.

**

Victor who was still furious at Juliet's word wasn't able to get any rest.

He kept rolling and tossing on the bed waiting for sleep to come take him but it didn't come.

With his eyes on the ceiling he remembered the incident that happened earlier.

He had wanted to see her break down in front of him, to see her beg but none came.

She was actually quite something.

Picking up his car keys he headed to the garage where he parked his car.

" Sir are you leaving?" The driver asked but he didn't give an answer instead he stepped Into the car and drove out of the compound.

He went to the bar to get his mind off things.

There at the bar he sat there quietly drinking himself to stupor.

Coming here seemed to only open old wounds for him.

First was his mother who tried to talk him into getting a woman for a wife and now there was this girl he barely even knows telling him he wouldn't find love.

Fuck love, he should have never fallen in love in the first place.

Love has never helped him infact it made him to be cold.

" Love sucks" he muttered taking up his glass and drinking it's content.

He kept drinking but he was still in his senses.

" Fu*k you, Fu*k you,Fu*k everyone!" Juliet yelled in her drunken state as she made her way through the crowd and towards the table where victor was seating.

Today she decided to get herself drunk as it felt like her world was crumbling down on her.

When she felt the stress was too much for her, she decided to have a drink but ended up getting drunk.

Today was literally her worst day ever.

Staggering as she walked, she stopped when she stumbled into the arms of fine handsome man.

Her Vision was blurry so she couldn't comprehend who it was.

Annoyed by the petite body that was on him, he attempted to push her off when he stopped to take a closer look at the girl and to his surprise, he found Juliet.

The reason he was here.

"You?" He asked surprised.

Juliet raised her head to only to find Victor's face.

She wasn't sure if he was the one or it was just her imagination but all she knew was that she hates him.

" You look familiar. Like Mr grumpy" she spoke poking his face with her index finger.

"You know, I was Innocent but you... I hate you" she said and he felt a little sting in his heart.

" Get off me" he growled trying to get her away from him.

" Or what? Will you fire me? You have already done that" she muttered in her drunk state.

" That job was my life and you took it away from me"

Still speaking, he could hear her sobs which meant that the job really meant a lot to her but what did he care?

She stayed in that position and the only thing victor could do was to stare at her.

He must admit that she was really pretty.

Removing the strands of her hair on her face, he shook his head removing him from the trance he was in.

With slow movements, she stood up but staggered back into his arms.

"You are drunk. You have to go home" he said but she shook her head.

She stood up again and slowly made her way to the restroom.

His eyes followed her retreating figure but shifted to a man who was following her from behind.

He was curious to know his motives.

Standing up, he went in the direction they took.

On getting to where they were, he found him trying to force himself on her.

He walked closer to them and landed the man a punch to the face making him fall.

The man who was drunk laid there almost lifeless.

" Weak" he muttered staring at the man he had knocked down with just a punch to the face.

Juliet who was unaware of the happenings around her tried to move away but Victor's grip on her hand stopped her.

He pulled her to himself making her head bump on his chest.

" You know you are handsome. Mr grumpy" she muttered wrapping her hands around him.

" Where do you live?" He asked and she shrugged.

Obviously it was useless talking to her in this state.

Sighing, he thought of what to do when Steven ran to him.

" Juliet?" He called.

He tried pulling her away but victor wrapped his hand around her waist in a protective way.

" Who are you?" He asked giving him an intense stare.

"I'm her friend" he innocently replied.

Juliet had earlier called him and told him her location.

Still not believing him, he narrowed his eyes at him but when Juliet pushed herself away and went into his arms, his doubts cleared a bit.

" Steven. Where have you been?" She hugged him.

" I'm so sorry for this" he apologized and tried to make his way out of his presence.

" Your number" victor simply said gaining a confused look but when he brought out his phone, Steven understood.

Steven called out his number while victor dialled it on his phone.

" Make sure she gets home safe" he said.

He was still a bit confused why he was caring about her but he shrugged it off tagging it to be nothing.

***

" Juliet.... Wake up. Wake up " Steven called groggily shaking the sleeping Juliet.

Whispering in her ear, he felt her shiver.

She shut her eyes open trying to adjust her eyes to the surrounding.

" What? Where am I?" She said sleepily.

" In my apartment. You got yourself drunk and I must say that was unlike you" he said sitting on the bed close to her.

" Its not my fault

Last night in her drunk state, Juliet had narrated her experience to him and honestly speaking, he felt pity for her but in every dark tunnel there is always light.

" Just let me sleep"

" I can't because I have good news for you" he said and Juliet sat up waiting to hear the news.

" Well... There is a job application for a personal maid and I want you to attend the interview" he said wrapping his hands around her shoulder.

" Really?" Her face lit up with a smile.

He nodded.

" Other than staying here and doing nothing, why don't you drink this coffee I got you and get ready for it" he said handing her a cup.

" Your coffee is horrible" she said.

" Well, at least I tried" he gave a light chuckle as he slightly shook his head.

He stood up and left the room after handing her the address.

Minutes later, she got prepared.

" So how do I look" she said turning around showcasing her dress.

She wore a pink flay gown that was to her knee level.

" Beautiful as always" he complimented.

Juliet smiled and dashed out of the house and headed for the address Steven gave to her.

Standing in front of a huge company, Juliet gave a short prayer before going into the company there, she met a woman at the reception.

She was busy putting something down on a paper that she didn't notice her.

She gave out a slight cough to attract her attention.

She looked up before staring at the paper.

" What do you need?" She asked.

" Uhm I'm here for the job interview for a personal maid" she

The woman glanced at her. She could clearly see she was nervous. She gave a slight smile.

" Calm down young lady" she said

" Uhhm yes." she was fidgeting and it was evident.

If she is like this now, How would she be when she is being interviewed.

" Take a left you will see an elevator. Go to the sixth floor" she pointed to the direction using her pen.

" Okay thank you" she held her hand bag and got into the elevator and went to the sixth floor.

There, she saw men and women sitting right outside the office.

They were a lot of people.

She slowly walked to them but stopped when a woman bumped Into her.

" Can't you see or are you blind?" The woman asked angrily.

Glaring at the woman she made her way past her.

Today, she didn't want anything or anyone to ruin her mood.

" Next" a woman in black suite and heels said but it seemed like none of them were willing to go in.

They all had a sullen look.

Seeing that, she stepped forward and into the office.

There, she met a tall handsome figure whose back was turned to her.

Although she couldn't see his face she couldn't help ogling his figure.

" Stop staring and sit down" he said in a cold voice.

She had her seat but her gaze was still on him.

" What can you do?" He asked with no emotions in his voice.

" I can clean, cook and make the best of coffees" she said with boldness stating everything she can do.

Turning around, the man had his seat and Juliet was shocked to see who it was.

" You?!" She said almost screaming her lungs out.
