"Maaf, Nayra. Saya terpaksa pecat awak." Perkataan pecat itu sudah 20 kali aku dengar. tak tau sebab mengapa dipecat. malang sungguh hidupku. Tak ada angin, tak ada ribut tiba-tiba muncul pula surat misteri di hadapan rumah. Katanya, tawaran pekerjaan menjadi pembantu rumah. Gaji yang ditawarkan sungguh mengejutkan. Sepuluh ribu ringgit sebulan! Tak terkata Nayra dibuatnya. "Saya Nayra, saya ada dapat surat tawaran kerja jadi housemaid tempoh hari. Saya cuma nak tahu kalau saya masih layak bekerja di sana?" "Oh, saya memang nantikan awak telefon. It's okay, I will call the driver. Dia akan jemput awak nanti." Pelik. Selalunya aku yang patut ke sana, tapi mereka yang menjemput aku serupa aku ni tetamu istimewa. "Just call me, Madam. Ini rumah Tuan Brayan. Dia tiada di rumah buat masa sekarang, so dia suruh saya carikan orang untuk jaga rumah ni. And, saya gembira bila awak terima tawaran tu." "Tuan Brayan ke mana?" "Awak tak perlu tahu tentang tu. Tugas awak cuma jaga rumah ni seperti nyawa awak." Jaga rumah macam jaga nyawa, tak ke seram bunyinya? Tapi aku cuma fikir pasal duit, apa pun yang berlaku aku perlu redha sahaja. Dan setelah bersetuju dan sign kontrak, Madam berikan aku satu kertas peraturan. 1. Tak boleh bawa lelaki masuk 2. Dilarang bawa masuk makanan dari luar 3. Sentiasa letakkan note di pintu jika mahu keluar 4. Jangan benarkan lelaki masuk rumah Fuh! ketat sungguh peraturannya. Patutlah gaji tinggi bukan main! Tapi ada sesuatu yang tak kena, mengapa peraturan nombor satu dan empat sama? mungkin tersalah tulis? "Don't always stand outside the house, I don't like other men looking at you."-MISTERI note itu dilekatkan pada kepala katil milikku. Tapi siapa yang letak? bukankah aku seorang sahaja di dalam rumah ini? "Madam, are you sure yang Tuan Brayan tak ada di sini?" Makin hari, makin rasa diperhatikan. Benarkah lelaki itu tiada di rumah? atau dia sebenarnya selalu ada disampingku? "how dare you break my rules, Nayra!"

IVY'S SALVADOR life has only led up to one thing; following in her father's footsteps. The only problem is that she doesn't want to live her life that way, but she doesn't know how to change that. Her life has always felt so boring and bland since it's only been going in one direction.. she needed a way out; an alternative, something different. MYLES CROWELL was a rule breaker, he never followed along the lines of everyone in the city or the school. He was bound to be kicked out; everyone wanted him gone, he brought nothing but recklessness and a bad name for the school. He wasn't the perfect guy but he was different, he wasn't the same as everyone else that Ivy knew. He didn't show up to every boring lecture and he didn't take shit from every stuck-up jock. Soon enough a deal becomes between the two, an eye for a eye. This deal forms an alliance and somehow a friendship. This friendship maintains, that is until some feelings are being harder and harder to hide. • • • His eyes stayed set on me, my heart racing as if I'd just run a marathon. I looked down at the touch to the side of me, his hands gripping my hips, leading me. I picked up his speed and grinded slowly, not even a few seconds in and a groan elicited from him, "you know how good you look on top of me?" I smiled, pressing down on his bare chest, my hands itching to move further down. As I was itching to do something, so was he, his eyes following my bruised lips and I could see every thought in that head of his. "No.. tell me ."
