My Secret Love in the Billionaire's Mansion

Jadynn quickly yet gently grabbed Lumina's hand, leading her into a small room known only to the two of them. The room felt like their own world, far from the crowd. With a passionate gesture, Jadynn wrapped his arms around Lumina's waist, drawing her closer. Their lips met in a kiss that conveyed an uncontainable longing. Like a thirst finally quenched, Jadynn kissed Lumina's lips with intense passion, creating a moment that belonged only to them. “Oooh, Baby … you’ve successfully driven me crazy!” Jadynn moaned passionately. PROLOGUE Lumina is a 21-year-old student studying at a prestigious university in a big city. Since childhood, Lumina has been known as an intelligent and diligent individual. She has always been the best in her class, and her achievements have never disappointed. However, Lumina's life has not been easy. She grew up in an orphanage from a young age. All her school fees were covered by scholarships due to her intelligence. Despite living with limitations, Lumina never gave up. She knew that education was the only way to change her fate. With the scholarship she received, Lumina was able to continue her education up to university. However, living expenses in a big city are not cheap. To meet her daily needs, Lumina decided to teach private lessons. She got the offer from one of her classmates who came from a wealthy family. Initially teaching one student, Lumina now teaches four students from wealthy families, earning a substantial hourly rate. Lumina is a patient and diligent teacher. She not only teaches the subject matter but also motivates her students not to give up easily. Many parents praise Lumina's teaching skills, and her reputation as a private tutor is becoming more recognized. One afternoon, after finishing her classes, Lumina received a call from her friend, Agnes. Agnes is Lumina's classmate who also comes from a wealthy family. They met in the same course class, and despite their different backgrounds, they are quite close. "Lumi, I have good news for you," said Agnes excitedly. "Is it a new student?" Lumina asked curiously. Agnes chuckled softly. "My mother's friend is looking for a private tutor for her child. He's still young, only 5 years old. They're looking for someone who can teach him reading, writing, and basic math. The pay is quite generous, but you'll have to take evening hours. Are you interested?" Lumina paused for a moment. Teaching young children wasn't something she was used to. So far, most of her students were older children. However, this offer could be a great opportunity to earn extra income. "Alright, I'm interested." "The mother would like you to teach five days a week. And there will be a bonus if you extend the study hours." Lumina frowned. "Extend the study hours? A child that young shouldn't study for too long." "No, not like that. I mean if you can watch him for an extra hour, you'll get a significant bonus. Are you interested?" asked Agnes over the phone. "Hmm... okay. It's not a problem since I'm more relaxed in the evenings and don't have classes. I'm just focusing on my exams to graduate." "Good choice," replied Agnes. "Yes, I'm interested in the extra pay. When can I start?" asked Lumina. "Tomorrow I'll pick you up and take you to their house. They live in an upscale area in the city center and they live in a big mansion. So, be prepared to see a different world," said Agnes with a laugh. The next day, Agnes picked up Lumina at the university dormitory. They rode in Agnes's luxury car and headed to the city center. Lumina felt a little nervous. She often entered the circles of wealthy people, but this time was a bit different from before because those who lived there were conglomerates and famous people. The sprawling luxury homes with high fences and expansive gardens made her feel like she was in a different world. After passing through the strict security gate, they finally arrived in front of a grand house. The house resembled a palace, with gardens filled with beautiful flowers and a large swimming pool. Lumina took a deep breath before following Agnes into the house. Inside, they were greeted by a beautiful woman in her 30s. She was Nigel's mother, the child Lumina would be teaching. "Good afternoon, Mrs. I'm Lumina," Lumina said politely. "Good afternoon, Lumina. I'm Annie. Thank you for agreeing to teach Nigel. He's a quiet child, but very smart. I hope you can help him develop. Just call me Annie, no need to be too formal," Annie said with a friendly smile. Lumina nodded. "I'll do my best." Annie then took Lumina to the living room, where Nigel was sitting on a small sofa holding a toy car. Nigel was a 5-year-old boy with straight light brown hair and big, curious eyes. However, he didn't talk much. When Lumina approached, Nigel only glanced at her briefly before returning his focus to his toy. "Nigel, this is Miss Lumina. She's going to teach you how to read and write, and also some math, alright?" Annie said softly. Nigel didn't say anything. He just nodded slightly. Lumina smiled. She sat on the floor near Nigel and tried to start a conversation. "Hi, Nigel. I'm Lumina. Do you like playing with toy cars?" Nigel nodded again, this time with a slight smile. "Wow, cool. What kind of car do you have there?" Lumina asked. "It's a race car," he said in a small voice. "Wow... I love race cars too," Lumina said with a smile. She tried to get Nigel to like her, which wasn't hard for her since she used to look after kids at the orphanage. Their first meeting went well. Lumina managed to make Nigel feel comfortable, and they began learning together. Nigel was indeed quiet, but he quickly understood the lessons taught by Lumina. In no time, Lumina could see Nigel's great potential. After the first meeting ended, Annie praised Lumina's teaching method. "You are very patient and kind, Lumina. Nigel usually doesn't easily get close to new people, but he seems comfortable with you. I feel relieved." Lumina smiled. "Thank you. Nigel is a smart child. I'm sure he will develop quickly. I'll head out now. I'll be back again tomorrow night."
