Episode 1

The sun rays hit her face as she looked above the tall condominium building. Leila Marie swallowed her pride as she walks towards the entrance. She already made her decision, no one can stop her now. Even her pride can’t.

She stepped inside the elevator and pushed the button going to the penthouse, she’s nervous but she held her grasps firmly. If this is the only way to know the truth. Why would she waver? If there was someone who should be ashamed, it should be him.

Leila landed on the highest unit of the building. The cozy ambiance didn’t bother her. She pressed the buzzer and after composing herself.

“Come in.” The baritone voice made her shiver. It’s not because of the cold air conditioner that welcomed her as she stepped inside, it was the man who was sitting in the guess lounge.

“You can take your sit, Ms. Gomez.” He commanded and started reading her portfolio.

“You’re still young, why would you choose this job?” He asked directly. For a second, she was caught off guard.

“I need money to support myself.”

He closed her folder, “Leila Marie Gomez, 23 years of age, graduated from S University.”

“You’re over qualified for this job. I think you should consider applying for a decent company. Your credentials won’t go to waste if you do that.” He handed the folder to Leila.

“Please sir, consider my situation also.” This begging situation was making her lose more of herself.

“My grandmother stay’s in the nearest hospital, please consider the convenience of me working near her.” She closed her eyes, not because she looks so pitiful. Its her anger that she can’t hide.

“Fine, start working tomorrow.”

“Read this rules and guidelines.” Leila took the small book that he handed to her.

“I’ll give you the contract tomorrow also, I assume you already know the deal, right?

“Yes sir, I am fully informed.” She was still avoiding his gaze.

“Good, you can relax for now. Let me tour you inside the unit.”

Leila spent 30 minutes touring his place. His modern luxurious penthouse can amaze everyone who visits it. But not her, how can she forget why she came here in the first place?

“This is your space. You can do whatever you want here, but I don’t want to hear any disturbances. Do you get it Ms.Gomez?”

“Yes sir, I understand.”

“Good, suit yourself. I’m leaving the unit in your care. I’ll be back at midnight.” He turned his back and left her.

This man, how dare he steal her happiness?

“Ezequiel Maude, I will make your life miserable.” Leila thought, as she watched him disappear from her sight. She will take back what’s rightfully hers.

She put her belongings inside the room. It’s spacious and good but as a Monoban, she had never imagined that she would lower her pride to this extent, just to prove that her suspicions were true.
