Delaney’s pov
I’d pay a hundred dollar just to see the look on Hera’s face all the time.
She looked a bloated goat and her face had gone all pale as if she’s just seen a ghost.
She looked shocked as she continued to stare at me.
“What!” She finally shouted in anger.
“A boiled orange jui-ce? How am I supposed to do that?” She asked, with her eyes splitting fire. And I know if she had the chance, she’d sma-ck me ha-rd on my face.
But then, I’m her boss and Xavier’s mom had strictly told her to answer every of my nee-d.
She dare not go against me, else she’ll loose her job.
I was shocked when Xavier’s mom had introduced her to Xavier and I as a new maid – that will be attending to our nee-ds and tidy up our rooms.
At first I was pissed because I’d been seeing all the time, but at another thought, I was happy.
I’m gonna frustrate her and use her like trash to she decide on her own to leave.
I knew she c@m£ back because of Xavier and I wouldn’t allow her even have a chance with Xavier.
I’m gonna make sure she knows that Xavier is off limits and I’m gonna put her in her right place, where she belongs.
I’ll make her know she doesn’t even have a chance with Xavier – especially not un-der my watch.
Besides, it’s her turn to serve me, just like I’ve done for her back then in Marazona.
She’s gonna see how it feels.
“What! Are you gonna go against her command?” Xavier snapped angrily and glared at Hera.
Her mouth dropped in shock and she flin-ched in fear.
Good! At least, I know Xavier doesn’t like her. He’s not been friendly with her and he doesn’t even smile at her and that has made me really happy.
I feel safe that Xavier wouldn’t turn his attention towards her and start neglecting me.
“No sir…I’m sorry. I’ll go get it for her.” She muttered lowly with her head bowed.
“Now out!” I snapped at her.
She flin-ched and hurriedly twisted the Knob of the door.
“Hey! The tray!” I called back as she got out of the door.
I heard her sigh angrily before turning back and entering into the room.
She took the tray and as she made to leave, I placed my leg on the way and since she didn’t expect it, she kicked my leg and she fell flat on the floor, with the tray flying up with it’s content before crashing on the floor.
“Ouch!” She gro-an ed in pain.
I sm-irked and walked back to Xavier’s be-d.
I haven’t even started!

Alicia’s pov
“Grandmaaaaaa!” I squealed enthusiastically as I ran to meet grandma at the door.
She looked pale.
Mom was supporting her as she walked, with her arms around her w@!st.
Grandma smiled weakly at me, “Alicia.”
I smiled as I heard my name from her mouth.
God! I really missed her.
Glad she’s back home and in a good shape.
“I missed you grandma.” I pouted and hvgged her lightly.
“I missed you too.” Her voice was low and ba-rely audible.
I took the bag mom was holding and we started into the house.

Chelsea’s pov
“Mom, dad?” I called, as I started towards them on the sofa.
“Chelsea!” Mom beamed and stood up from the sofa and walked towards me.
“Wow! I thought you weren’t coming back again. I thought maybe you finally decided to abandon me and not come back againt.” I scoffed. She pretended not to have heard me, because instead of replying me, she hvgged me.
I stood still, not hvgging her back.
How can both parents just leave for weeks without caring about their only child?
They called just twice and it was just a brief conversation.
Are they gonna continue the treat me this way?
Even if I have everything I’ve dreamt off – not really everything, I just want my parents attention, affection and love.
At least, they should spend more time with me than they do in their work places.
“You could have just stayed in Paris forever.” I hissed.
“Baby, we are sorry.” Dad said.
“Sorry won’t fix anything! And you’ve said that a million times. I’ve heard sorry too much!” I snapped and rolled my eyes.
“We are truly sorry. And Chelsea, we have good news for you.” Dad said instead.
“What?”
“We are gonna be home more often. We won’t be staying weeks and months away from you, just days.
And when we return, we’ll make it up to you by having enough time with you.” Dad said with a smile.
I huffed and rolled my eyes.
“This isn’t the first time you’re saying this dad and what happens? You never keep to yourself words. It’s just another lame excuse of yours.” I scoffed.
“No, we are serious baby. This time, we are serious.” Mom said.
“Whatever! I hope you keep to your words this time.” I tucked in my hair behind my ear and made for the stairs.
“And if you like, leave tomorrow early morning for another business trip and return two years later.” I huffed as I climbe-d up the stairs.
I heard mom g@sped but I didn’t give a damn.
I feel like am an orphan!

Delaney’s pov
A soft knock c@m£ on the door and I knew it was Hera.
Xavier told her to come in and seconds later, she was in the room with a glas-s of jui-ce in her hand.
I stood up and walked towards her.
“I took the glas-s of jui-ce and placed it on myl-ips.
I re-moved it and glared at her.
“I’m sorry.” Hera apologized like she alre-ady got the signal that I’m mad at her for giving me a chilled jui-ce instead of h0t one.
“Sorry for your miserable self!” I lashed out and poured the the whole content in the glas-s on her.
She bent her head and whimpered.
She raised her head and there were tears in her eyes. She glared at me before running out of the room.
I sm-irked as I watched her run like a scaredy-cat.

Rio’s pov
“Woah! Easy there!” I hollered as a girl almost knocked me down because of the way she was running.
I held her by her arm and when she took her gaze to look at me, she was in tears.
I haven’t seen her before and she was putting on a maid uniform and I noticed that she probably would have been coming from Xavier’s room.
Our gazes locked and I was awed by her beauty.
Wow! She looked really pretty even if her eyes were a bit swollen from perhaps – crying.
I didn’t know how it happened, but I found myself drawing her closer and hvgging her to myself.
She looked vulnerable.
She sobbe-d ha-rder while I patted her back.

Hera’s pov
Wait!
Did I just hear her correctly?
“Ma’am?” I called, wanting to be sure I did hear her correctly. That it isn’t a dream or my imagination.
“I said you’re hired. You can join the other maids in arranging and maintaining my son’s room and daughter’s room.
And I hope you do a good job.” She smiled at me.
“Wow! Thank you ma’am. I’ll sure do my best.” I replied enthusiastically.
“But ma’am, who’s your daughter? I mean, her name and your son too?” I asked politely even if I alre-ady know who her son is but her daughter? I have no idea.
Ap@rt from Delaney, I haven’t seen any young girl that looks like this pretty woman or her son.
Or she isn’t around?
“Oh! My son…his name is Xavier and my daughter name is Delaney. Don’t worry, you’ll meet them later when they are back from school.” She smiled and her tone was filled with so much pride – that clearly showed that she loves her two children.
But wait!
Did she just call Delaney her daughter?
But how?
Even in Marazona, Delaney never had a mother. So how come?
And she also mentioned school. Delaney attends a school on Earth?
And me, I haven’t seen any school around not to talk of attending one.
Delaney and I attended school in Marazona and as usual, she was the intelligent one. I was just averagely good.
I didn’t put my heart to school because I thought that I didn’t nee-d to study or work ha-rd for me to become wealthy.
I did think that, even if I don’t attend a school, I would still be great and also better than Delaney who put all her heart into it.
After all, I was gonna take over from my mother and rule Marazona one day.
Why does Delaney always get good things? Why does she always have luck before me?
She attends a school while am here about to work as a maid.
Why’s life being unfair to me?
Why does life cheat on me and favour Delaney?
And as I process the woman’s words, I remembered when she said I’ll also work as a maid to her son and daughter.
And if Delaney is her daughter, does that mean I’m gonna serve Delaney?
No way!
Delaney has always been the one to serve me and now, I can’t and I won’t.
A princess serving a commoner?
A commoner with no name in the society?
No way!
“Uhm ma’am…” I called politely.
“Yes?”
“Can’t you exempt me from working as a maid to your daughter? I just want to work for only your son.” I bit my lower l!pnervously and took my gaze to the floor.
“Oh no dear! You have to work for both of them.” She smiled and patted my shoulder.
I nodded my head and faux a smile.
I’m doing this because I have a mission that I must fulfill.
I’m doing this because of the male and I’ll make sure I definitely carry out my plan.
I’ll just have to bear it and work towards achieving what I want.
I don’t mind serving Delaney – it’s not forever and is for a reason.
For whatever one nee-ds, there’s always a price to pay…
“Thank you ma’am.”
“You’re welcome.”

Delaney’s pov
“What was that all about? What’s prom d@t£?” I asked, as Xavier and I walked out of the cafeteria – because break was over alre-ady.
“You’re dumb, you know that right?” He tea-sed and pinched my cheek lightly.
“Ouch!” I whined and glared pla-yfully at him.
“Be serious Xavier. What is prom d@t£ and why did you choose me?” I asked again.
“Eish! What will I do with a block head like you?” He gro-an ed pla-yfully and ruffled my hair while I frowned my face lightly.
“Xavier! St©p teasing me! I’m not a block head.” I grumbled and hit him on his shoulder.
He laughed lightly and ruffled my hair more.
Geez! My once neat hair was alre-ady scattered and it was almost all over my face.
“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you all about prom today during our lessons.” He said at last.
“Whatever!” I rolled my eyes and stepped ha-rd on his toes. Before he could say anything, I moved away from him and stuck out my ton-gue at him.
“Ouch! That hurts you know.” He grumbled like a child that was deprived of his sweet.
I laughed and ran away.

Authoress chi pov ✍️
IN MARAZONA
“The queen just coll@psed!” A maid panicked as she ran to get the royal healer.
The queen was seated on her throne when she suddenly coll@psed and fell down.
The room was in chaos as everyb©dy were in panic while the royal slaves carried the queen to her Chambers.
Some maids were told to get some things and they hurriedly did it.
Just in few minutes, it was all over the palace that the queen suddenly coll@psed without even fallen sick.
It was surprising because the queen had been looking healthy since.
“Where is she?” The tiny voice of the royal healer asked as she walked into the palace with her bag of medicine.
“This way, great one.” The maid replied with a bow and gestured her hands to the queen’s chamber.
They both got inside and the queen was on a be-d, looking so pale and almost lifeless.
As the healer wanted to t©uçh her, she suddenly withdrew and stared intently at the queen.
“Something is wrong!
There is danger lur-k-ing around!” The royal healer said, with her eyes shut while she spoke some strange words.
The royal healer is also a seer and she foresees.
“What is it great one?” The queen’s trusted friend, Nika asked with panic written all over her face.
She was sitting beside the queen on the be-d and seeing the look on healer’s face, she suddenly felt scared.
“The sacred n£¢klace has been stolen! I don’t know why, but I never foresaw it.
The queen’s health is on the line and if the n£¢klace is not brou-ght back within the next seven days.
“Then, the queen will die!”
