Patrick rose from his executive office seat, having completed his day's work. At 8pm sharp, Jeff Hudson, his personal assistant, knocked on the door and entered his executive office, which was painted in ash grey.
"Good evening, boss, Are you heading home now?" Jeff asked.
Patrick stood up quietly from his office chair and grabbed his black coat from the back of his executive seat. He put it on to shield himself from the chilly wind and adjusted his necktie before swiftly taking his briefcase from his desk.
Patrick swiftly exits his office on the eighth floor of his ten-story multimillion dollar hotel in the state. He stepped into the elevator, which swiftly descended to the lowest floor of his opulent hotel. Patrick confidently exited the building and strode towards his sleek black SUV. His vigilant bodyguards swiftly pulled open the car door and securely closed it behind him as he smoothly settled into the back seat.
Patrick operated a wide array of undisclosed enterprises within the state. His mind buzzed with a multitude of thoughts, from the nagging concerns about his parents to the daunting task of finding a life partner. Meanwhile, a list of competitors lurked in the shadows, eager to dethrone him from his position in the business world.
Patrick Anderson concealed a multitude of identities, leaving everyone in the dark about his true self. He coded his business strategies. He watched as Jeff hurriedly approached him, ready to join him in the car. Jeff confidently approached and smoothly slid into the driver's seat, taking on the role of Patrick's driver as well.
Jeff started the SUV engine and drove away from the luxurious hotel. He reached the front gate of the Anderson mansion, and the security men swiftly opened the massive black gate. He drove the luxury SUV into the mansion premises and parked.
Patrick confidently exited the SUV and made his way towards the impressive four-storey mansion. His anger fueled him as he stomped into the living room, his black shoes clicking on the cemented ground.
Loveth Logan, the new maid, vigorously mopped the tiled floor in the living room. Patrick entered the living room, and she stared back at him. With a smile on her face, she greeted him, saying, "Good evening, sir. Welcome home."
Patric did not respond to Loveth's greeting. Frowning, he walked up to the milk-colored couch in the living room and dropped his briefcase on it. Patrick removed his black coat and slung it over his shoulder, immediately feeling the comforting warmth of the heater enveloping his cool, dark skin. He grabbed his briefcase and strode towards the elevator, heading back upstairs to his chamber. He wore a red pocket shirt paired with black plain trousers, and had short black hair.
Mrs. Eleanor Anderson, a 70-year-old woman, emerged from her room below, experiencing pain in her kneecap. As she noticed Loveth mopping the tiled floor, she frowned and looked away. Then, she spotted Patrick trying to enter the elevator.
"Son.." Mrs. Eleanor called him back.
Patrick's gaze locked with his mother's as he paused. Her smiling gaze met his, causing him to sigh as he made his way back to her. She was dressed in a long blue gown, standing in the living room, and walked towards him.
Patrick warmly greeted his mother as he finally approached her, embracing her tightly. He accompanied her to the couch, being her only son among four older sisters. Patrick understood that his parents' sole desire was for him to provide them with an heir. His four older sisters had all gotten married before him, as he was the youngest and his mother gave birth to him after 10 years of his immediate elder sister's birth.
"Son, welcome. How was your day at the office?" Patrick was finally asked by Mrs. Eleanor.
"Okay, mother." Patrick sat down on the couch with his mother.
"Patrick, I see what you're saying. When will you tie the knot? As you're aware, your father and I are not getting any younger. Do you want to hide the next heir of Anderson Corporations from us?" Patrick was finally asked by Mrs. Eleanor.
Patrick's face contorted into a frown as he let out a heavy sigh.
"Hey, son!" His mother called out to him once more, and Patrick responded, "Mom. Don't worry, your death isn't something you need to be concerned about right now, okay? I am considering offering a bribe in the near future, either this week or next week."
"Sure, son." Mrs. Eleanor smiled as she replied, while Patrick, heartbroken, stood up from the living room couch to retired back to his chamber.
"And what about your girlfriend, Willow Albert? Let's make an arrangement to go and marry her immediately. What's the issue, son?" Mrs. Eleanor said. 'I'm starting to feel concerned about the issues arising between Patrick and his girlfriend. What is preventing them from getting married, considering their deep love for each other?'
Patrick's forehead grew sweaty as his mother bombarded him with questions. He averted his gaze and made eye contact with their new maid, Loveth Logan. She smiled at him and blushed, continuing to mop the tiled floor with happiness.
Patrick's gaze fixated on her waist as he observed her in the pink maid uniform. Her beauty and curves captivated him, leaving him curious about the person who had hired her for their mansion.
Patrick averted his gaze from Loveth and turned to his mother. "Mom, Willow left without telling me, and she also refused to give me a proper explanation."
Patrick couldn't bring himself to tell his mother the truth about why he ended his relationship with Willow Albert. She was always ready for any willing partner, eager to explore new experiences.
Mrs. Eleanor sighed and said, "I spoke to Willow yesterday, and she assured me that you two are still together and doing well."
"Mom.." Patrick's body tensed as he locked eyes with his mother, a look of disbelief on his face. With a forced smile and a menacing laugh, he replied, "Mom, I'm exhausted and I need to go back to my room."
"Sure, son." Mrs. Eleanor replied and observed as Patrick walked away towards the elevator. Mrs. Eleanor spotted Loveth and immediately called Patrick over. "Son, have you met Loveth Logan? The new maid from west wood. Her mother is one of the charitable women there. Contributions are being made to build the economy."
"Hmm.." Patrick paused, his gaze fixed on Loveth who was diligently mopping the tiled floor. As she noticed his intense stare, she lowered her head in response.
"Patrick, how do you perceive her? We were actually recommended her services by your eldest sister, Isabel Owen. She's like a daughter to me and provides me with a lot of help. Since I am already advanced in age and my ability to work is limited. Come, Loveth," Mrs. Eleanor interrupted herself, signaling for Loveth to approach.
"Loveth, this is my son, Master Patrick Anderson. He is the sole heir to Anderson Cooperation." Loveth stood before Patrick, bowing her head in a lowered and respectful manner. She addressed him, saying, "It is an honor to meet you, sir."
Patrick stood frozen, unable to speak, lost in deep thought. Did his mother set up some sort of temptation? Her eyes gleamed with a deep, captivating darkness. She has a sharp, pointed nose and naturally pink lips without any lip gloss. She packed her long, natural blonde hair into a ponytail. Her skin appears flawless, with a smooth and radiant complexion reminiscent of a blend of milk and honey. Patrick noticed that he spent some time admiring her beauty, until his mother's words abruptly brought him back to reality.
"It seems that you have an interest in her, son..." Loveth is an exceptional cook, and I can't help but feel rejuvenated and more in love with her."
"Hm." Patrick narrowed his eyes at Loveth. His gaze locked with his mother's as he responded, "Okay, mom. It's great to see that she's taking excellent care of you. I'm heading upstairs now. I have an important online business meeting to attend by 10pm, and I need to be prepared for it."
Patrick swiftly walked away, entering the elevator without a moment's pause. Ignoring his mother's response, he ascended to the fourth floor. He stormed onto the fourth floor, bursting out of the elevator and into his sitting room. He couldn't help but let out a frustrated exclamation - "F*CK!" He felt extremely frustrated and was determined not to marry someone who was promiscuous and unpleasant.
Patrick walked over to his sitting room couch and placed his briefcase and coat on it. He stormed to his sitting room bar and grabbed a bottle of alcoholic wine. His anger boiled as he struggled to come to terms with Willow's betrayal with his rival, Tony Miles.
Patrick retrieved an alcoholic wine bottle and opened it with a pop, he proceeded to drink the red wine directly from the bottle. Feeling the effects of the wine, Patrick staggered and took a seat on a stool near the bar top. After Patrick finished drinking the wine bottle in his hand, he swiftly grabbed another one and popped it open once more. "I hate you, Willow," he angrily cussed out.
Patrick's attention was caught as the sitting room door slid open. He turned around and was greeted by the sight of a stunning maid entering with a tray of his meal in her hands.
Patrick turned his gaze towards the sliding entrance door of the sitting room. A pretty yellow maid entered his sitting room, and he felt a sense of weightlessness as he gazed at her beautiful yellow face. He was irresistibly drawn to approach her, seizing her as she entered his sitting room, carrying a tray of his dinner in both hands. He stared at her with his cold, piercing eyes as her cute, round, chubby face came into view.Patrick believed his mother had likely sent Loveth to bring him dinner. He tightly gripped the third alcoholic wine bottle, taking large gulps. As Loveth approached, he slowly set the wine bottle aside, distancing it from his sinful lips. Loveth stood before him, flashing the most beautiful smile he had ever seen."Excuse me, sir. I've been asked by your mother to bring you this meal. Where should I store it?" Loveth ask him.Patrick clumsily dropped the wine bottle onto the bar top before getting up and stumbling towards her. She quickly averted her gaze from
Patrick had just finished rubbing his arms and thighs when his room door suddenly flew open. He stood naked, tossing his white towel onto the couch. Suddenly, without warning, a young lady entered his personal chamber, balancing a tray of food in her arms. He felt a wave of confusion, unsure if she had already left."Oh my!" Loveth exclaimed, caught off guard by the sight of the young master without clothes. Loveth swallowed, her grip on the tray in her hands almost slipping. However, she remembered his mother's warning about his weak stomach. She tightened her grip on the tray, swallowed, and immediately looked down."I apologize, I didn't intend to.""Hmm.." Confusion washed over Patrick as he realized that someone had invaded his privacy, a thought that hadn't crossed his mind. Patrick's anger surged as he found himself at a loss for words, unable to respond to her presence with the tray he had noticed before.As Loveth stood there, she considered whether to drop the tray of food in
Warning: Chapter ahead!Patrick gazed into Loveth's face, drawn to her natural pink lips. Leaning forward, he eagerly captured her lips once more, kissing her with intensity and relishing the taste. Loveth responded, though it was clear that she lacked experience in kissing.Loveth kissed Patrick back, passionately sucking his lower lip. Patrick smiled and pulled away slightly, gazing at her face as he leaned back and sat up on his bed. Patrick exclaimed, "I can't believe you don't want to support me, but I'm already feeling uncomfortable and unwell with you around. I promise, a little warmth from you won't hurt."Loveth couldn't resist Patrick. She felt a strong attraction towards him, and her desire for him was intense. It was as if her body craved his touch and longed for him to enter her. Patrick confidently removed her maid gown and tossed it onto the tiled floor. Her full, bare body was now on display, captivating his attention even in his intoxicated state. Patrick couldn't help
The next morning, Patrick woke up with a pounding headache. He sat up in bed and looked around, attempting to recall the bizarre dream he had the night before.He let out a curse, frustration evident in his voice."What happened here?" he asked once more. Suddenly, a knock on his chamber door interrupted his intense thoughts. As he turned to face the door, it swung open and Jeff Hudson entered."Good morning boss," Jeff greeted, his surprise evident as he saw Patrick still sitting on his bed, clutching his head and using his right palm to support it. Patrick slid out of his bed and noticed he was completely naked. Jeff quickly averted his gaze, despite being older than Patrick. Patrick remained his boss."Leave now!" Patrick gave a command, and Jeff quickly replied, "Yes, boss!" He left the room, feeling puzzled about what had gone wrong with his boss. Jeff went out to answer the company's call from some private clients who were inquiring about why young Anderson missed the meeting wit
"Son, have your breakfast before leaving for work." Mrs. Eleanor Anderson looked at her only son and locked eyes with him as he focused on Loveth, causing her to smile. "Loveth!" she exclaimed. Loveth received a call and turned to face everyone, their gazes fixed on her. She felt a rush of nerves and quickly looked down, her mind filled with memories of her illicit affair with the young master of the house the previous night.Patrick, despite his age, puzzled Loveth as the other servants referred to him as "young master." They had been working in the Anderson mansion for a longer time than her and likely knew him when he was younger, back when he was a handsome dark little boy."Son, what would you like to have for breakfast?" Mrs. Eleanor asked, her gaze fixed on Patrick once more."I'm doing well, Mom. I have to leave now." Patrick leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss on his mother's cheeks, causing Mrs. Eleanor to furrow her brow. "Why, son?" she asked with a hint of disapprova
Patrick stared at Loveth's face, and she attempted to stand up, even as her right foot was bandaged."Ah!." She groaned in pain and he looked away from her and to his mother as he obviously didn't know who had employed her into their mansion."I don't know if she can manage it, but it's fine if she wants to stay. Isabel wouldn't be happy if she found out that I sent Loveth home in this state," his mother said in response, and he stared back at Doctor Timothy Suleiman."Doc, you heard my mother. I don't have a say in women's affairs and I am not the one who employed her either. I have to be on my way now," Patrick spoke as he turned to leave."Son, wait!." His mother called him back and Patrick frowned, knowing exactly what his mother wanted to ask him about. As she wouldn't ask him anything apart from when the marriage date would be fixed."Mom, you worry too much. I will be back and we will discuss this." He quickly exited their crowded living room, walked out, and saw Jeff rushing up
"What did he say?" Willow slowly asked Ava, as she saw Ava shift her gaze away and looked at her computer."I'm sorry, but the boss insisted that you leave or he will send for security to escort you away."Willow bit her lips nervously. She knew Patrick wouldn't accept to see her and she had flown into the country the previous day after realizing that Tony wanted to use her to get to Patrick.Tony and Patrick were best friends before they hung out together, hosted ladies together, but what went wrong between them, Willow had no idea about. She never even expected Tony to have recorded her affair with him. She only traveled out and just wanted a fling with him, a one-night stand with him, a secret affair, but it seemed Tony was a snitch.Willow stared at Ava Adams and had no words to argue with Ava, knowing that the only option she had left was to continually visit Patrick's aged mother so that she could mount pressure on Patrick and make him marry her quickly.Willow regretted taking p
Isabel knew that Patrick had been continually talking about marriage, even though he was engaged to Willow. She had actually seen photos and videos of their engagement online and wondered what had gone wrong between them.Isabel had wanted to ask Patrick about it over the phone, but knowing how troublesome her younger brother was, she decided against it to avoid angering him further.As for Loveth, Isabel had only sent her there to take care of her mother. She was surprised to hear from their mother that Patrick had carried their new maid in his arms when she got injured.Isabel sighed and returned to the kitchen to continue cooking in her home downstairs. She loved cooking for her husband, even though they were rich, they had no maid.Meanwhile, Patrick stared at the magazine covers in his hands for a while and was satisfied with the new designs that Ava Adams had brought to him. He stamped some of them and then walked back to his executive office seat to email Ava the designs he had
