The Billionaire & The Maid

"The screen door slams.
Mary's dress waves.
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays."

Jacqueline's POV:

I can't believe I'll be doing this. I'm a nervous wreck and my hands can't seemed to stop shaking.

The thing is, I'll go and ask for Dennis to give me another chance to work for him. No, I didn't changed my mind. I still hate to work for him and I hate it even more for the reason I'm willing to work for. But life has other way of throwing bitches my way.

I got a call days ago from a person ordering me to go work for Dennis. The reason I agreed to was because he threatened for my life. The fact that he maneuvered this whole thing is for him to take down Dennis without him involving, for he is to take only some part while he wanted me to do the major part of the plan. Not only he threatened for my life but he has with him my mother's clothing line's and my father's company's important documents. I would've given up my mother's clothing line if that's the only thing he wanted but my life's involved now and I just accepted his proposal.
I have a talent just like my mother and I planned to take over my mom's small fashion line. That's how I took up designing as well after I completed my Business degree.

But life can't be what we wanted and wished for. My parents and my brother left me to take care of myself. Sometimes I felt like I'm being cursed and sometimes I felt like I'm being blessed. Things would've been different if they were still alive. I wouldn't be in this situation.

Thinking all these things through, I made up a plan myself to take over what belongs to me and not to destroy Dennis either. But I must have to be careful to accomplish that otherwise I might end up dead.

People can be so selfish they could do anything to get what they want. I can't imagine someone so close to me, to my family could betrayed us in this unforgivable manner. He's the one I was hoping to ring up and get in touch with so that I could get hold of the papers belonging to my parents. But he has other plans himself. I know he took up this as an opportunity to either take my parent's properties or take Dennis down. I came to know the reason why for the past few weeks he never tried to contact me. Maybe he'd seen me with Dennis somewhere and go for the easy way.

My father's company had been sold out to his alliance company before my parents passed away but the process hasn't been completed. The money is due to be deposited and the file hasn't been signed and sold officially. The company isn't a big multinational company so nobody made a fuss about it. The alliance company owner knew about me being the only one who's alive so he had probably been in contact with this betrayer not knowing what he's been planning. As soon as I sign the paper the money will be deposited instantly.
He never mentioned what to do about the money. Maybe he wanted some share or he's planning to take each and every penny?

I pick today as the perfect day to offer myself to work for Dennis because Corrine, Bobby, Dennis and I planned to go clubbing at Bobby's basement club. I'll be able to talk to him and work things out.

Now that we're here, I can't think of anything except for the rejection throwing my way.

"Babes, why do you look so nervous? Come on! Drink some of these. It's called grandma's pee."

"What?! You're telling me to drink a urine?"

"Hahaha... look at you. I was kidding."

"This can't be real, right? An A-class club in a basement? Have you been here before?"
