Rominn pov
I woke up with an extremely headache and my body ls so sour like I have been flung into the wall serveral time.
Why would I fee that way when am made to do all the house chores when the maids are available.
At first I was sad.
Then,I was filled with Dread as the memories came crashing into me.
I remembered the first day I saw Carlos,he was looking so handsome and cute.
He displayed his dimples making me to feel a butterfly in my tummy.
"Hello little one you are awake!"Carlos said gently bringing me out from my flashback.
"Yes.. are you ready for work?"I asked.
"Yes darling!"he replied and my face expression changed.
He noticed it and sat beside the bed.
"Don't worry I will be back early nothing will happen okay!"he said kissing and brushing my hair.
"Okay"I said blushing while he stood up and took his briefcase.
"Bye Romina"he kissed my lips and left.
For the past two years, Carlos and I have pretended to be in a relationship.
Like husband and wife stuff.
His family members were after his wealth so we sign up a fake marriage contract for him to make me his heiress.
But never did I know that his family is a hot place to stay.
Since I came in here, the family members are hate and made me their maid whenever Carlos is not around.
"Romina!"I heard my name from the kitchen.
I swallowed hard and took in a shuddering breath.
"Am not feeling well for all this!"I lamented my eyes growing teary.
"Romina.. will you get your ass down from that room now"she barked.
At his Carlos mother Mrs joy.
Beautiful but troublesome.
She can't give me a breathing space.
The ugliness of life is something we can't undo what has been done,it doesn't matter how devastating the outcome is..we can't turn back time or change the past.
"That's what my mom said when I told her about Carlos fake marriage!"
That faithful day,I came back from work to his Carlos with my mom and siblings.
At first I was happy to see them laughing for a very long time.
"Sister... Carlos bought for us chocolate"my little sister said showing me the chocolate with a smiling face.
I look at Carlos and smiled.
"Thank you" I whispered softly to him.
That was how I met Carlos and truly he has changed my life.
Since then I have learnt to be a happy lady despite the situations.
I moved slowly to the kitchen where Mrs joy is.
She was preparing breakfast.
Holy moly!!!
Thank goodness.
"What are you looking at?"she asked when she noticed my presence.
"Good morning mother!"I greeted bowing my head lightly.
"Am not your mother.. you ugly thing"she said hitting her hands on the desk.
The sound attracted her daughter Becca who walked into the kitchen.
"Mom what is going on here?" She asked.
"This thing your brother bought in is the reason for my anger"she explain pointing her fingers at me.
"Mom, I have told you to stop making breakfast.. Romina is here to do that"she said taking away the knife from Mrs joy hands.
"Romina finish up the dishes and make sure you make it quickly!"Becca said rolling her eyes on me but I just keep quiet because that was how I grow up.
"Okay"I replied.
"Good for you"Becca said and left the kitchen with her mom.
I went over to where the beef was.
Don't mind me for not introducing myself.
Am Romina Johnson,a simple and an easy going lady.
Beautiful but not that beautiful.
And I love pop sweet so much.
My mom is alive while my dad is late.
I have two siblings..
That's all for now.
I prepare the food just the way Carlos family likes it.
I don't call them my family Because am treated as one.
After some minutes,the food was ready to serve.
I dish out Mrs joy and his husband then placed it in a tray.
With that I took it to the dinner room.
Everyone was already waiting for me.
"What kept you so long in that kitchen?"Carlo's father asked.
Mr Jones is a strict man.
"Nothing sir"I replied bowing my head.
The two sons were already there.
"Where is my food?"the second some asked..
"Am coming let me go and get it"I replied walking towards the kitchen.
I usually eat in the kitchen apart from when Carlos is around.
This is the way I have been treated but I have never mentioned this to him.
I didn't want to cause a scene between his family.
"Goodness..am tired!"I said feeling headache.
But I need to finish up this then I can go ahead and take my bath.
I dish out the food for the two sons and also for Becca.
After that I took it to the dinner table.
"Here!"I said to nobody in particular as I placed the food In front of them and wanted to walk out when Mike, Carlos younger brother grab my hands.
"Ouch.. ouch"I screamed loudly trying to remove his hand.
"How dare you serve me food without juice?"he asked.
"I was going to get it when you...!"I didn't complete my statement.
With that he left my hands.
"Go and get it"he said dipping into the food.
I look at him with a lot of hatred.
Am only here because I want my family to leave a good life when am done I will leave.
But am falling for Carlos.
I think am in love with him but does he feel the same way for me.
