INLOVE WITH MY MAID

Jayden Stone is 24 years old and a billionaire. But not the kind of billionaire girls dream about. If you saw him in real life , you would think he has it all.He’s tall, handsome with sharp jawline, and has expensive cars his mansion in banana island, expensive clothes from London. But if you lived with him just for two days , you would run away. Because Jayden Stone is rude, very rude. And Very, very lazy. His father is dead. He died 1 year ago from cancer , Since then, Jayden's mother moved to uk to live with his elder sister, Zara. Jayden refused to go with them. He said he wants to stay alone in his father's big mansion in Lagos to manage the family business. But the truth is, he just wants freedom and does not want his mother advising him every single day.No one to tell him what to do. The problem is, freedom has turned him into a dirty, rude and lazy boy. He doesn't know how to cook, He doesn't know how to wash his clothes. He doesn't know how to make his bed. He doesn't even know how to put on the gas . If you ask him to boil water , he will burn the whole kitchen. His mansion is always dirty because every maid he hires leaves after three weeks , Some leave after one week "That boy is too rude ," his mother always says on the phone. "He shouts at everyone, No girl will ever marry him." And his mother is right, Jayden's love life is a total disaster. Last year, he was dating a fine celebrity makeup artist named precious . Precious tried to be patient. One afternoon , she made pepper soup for herself and her friend who came to visit her . She and her friend was discussing while he entered the room. He got angry,what is this fool you call a friend doing’s here how many times have I warned you to stop being friends with her “he asked”. He carried the hot pepper soup and poured it on her in front of her friend in her own house. Precious screamed, cried. She posted on t****k "Jayden Stone is handsome but He is rude and lazy!" He poured hot pepper soup on my dress not just my dress on my skin because I was putting on short dress. Since then, the story spread everywhere in Lagos. Any girl Jayden tries to toast, once they hear about the pepper soup incident, they leave immediately. They cannot stay two weeks with him. Some girls leave after one dinner. Because Jayden doesn't know how to treat a woman. He shouts, he commands, he doesn't apologize nor feel sorry , he doesn't say thank you. He thinks money can buy respect or love. So Jayden has been single for one year. Lonely in a big house with no one to clean, no one to cook, no one to talk to. The house smells like waste bin and dirty clothes . Clothes are on the floor. Plates with leftover food from three days are in the kitchen. On the other side of Lagos, in a small face-me-I-face-you house in ikorodu, Luna Rose is crying. Luna Rose is 20 years old, Four years younger than Jayden. She is very beautiful, with caramel skin, beautiful eyes, curvy body shape and a stubborn mouth. But she is very poor. She has no father, Her father died when she was 10. She lives with her mother who sells pap by the roadside. Few weeks ago, her mother collapsed and was taken to the hospital. The doctor said she has a kidney problem and needs an urgent operation. The bill is N2.5 million, Where will Luna see N2.5 million? She has no job, She dropped out of school, most Her relatives have run away. Two days ago , her aunt , Aunty Cynthia , came to her house. "Aunty Cynthia , I need money for my mama's operation," Luna cried. Aunty Cynthia said, "There is one rich guy in Lekki looking for a live-in maid. His name is jayden . He pays N420,000 per month. But nobody wants to work there. The boy is too rude and too lazy. Alot maids have left him this month, But Luna, if you can manage his rudeness, you can use the money for your mama." Luna cleaned her tears, N300,000. That is a lot of money, If she works for some months, she can pay her mother's bill. "I will do it ma ," she said. "I am not scared of any rude man. I will manage is rudeness,I have suffered more than rudeness, I need to save my mama." That morning, Luna woke up by 4am. She wore her only good gown, a faded gown, and carried her small Ghana-must-go bag with three clothes inside. She prayed for her mother and entered a bus to banana island. When she arrived at Jayden's gate, her mouth opened. The mansion was huge, White, with a big black gate, swimming pool, five cars outside. She had never seen such a beautiful house before. She knocked on the big gate, The security guard opened. "I am the new maid from the agency," she said with a calm voice. The guard looked at her and laughed. "You? Small rat like you? Omo, you no go last 2 days for here o. The last maid that came was bigger than you and she left crying. Oga Jayden no get joy at all." Luna swallowed her fear and entered. She knocked on the main door,No answer,She knocked again, louder. After five minutes, the door opened with force. Jayden stood there, He was wearing only boxers,His hair was scattered, his sock was smelling his eyes were swollen. And behind him, the house was... Jesus Christ. Luna almost fainted. The parlor was upside down, Clothes on the sofa, on the floor, on the TV, Plates with leftover rice and chicken from days ago. The whole house was smelling like trash and old pizza packs. "Who are you and why are you knocking like you want to break the door down ?" Jayden shouted. His voice was deep and rude.can you pay for the door if you destroy it ? he asked again. "I... I am Luna Rose, sir. The new maid from ray Agency, They said you need a live-in maid," Luna said, trying to be polite. Jayden looked at her from head to toe. From her cheap slippers to her faded gown. "You are too small, Can you even clean this house? Look at this house. Can you handle it? My last maid said I am rude and left. Are you not afraid?" he said with a smirk. Luna was angry but she controlled herself, She remembered her mother in the hospital. "Sir, I can clean. But I have to tell you something," she said. "What?" Jayden folded his arms. "You are not just rude, sir. You are also lazy, Very lazy. You don't know how to do anything. How can a fine boy like you live like this? This house is like a dustbin. You are 24 but you live like a 10-year-old boy." Jaden's eyes widened looking angry, No one had ever spoken to him like that. Every girl and every maid would just say "sorry sir, sorry sir." "What did you say to me? Do you know who I am? I can fire you now!" he shouted. Luna was not scared anymore, She dropped her bag and entered the parlor. "I said you are lazy! If you fire me, you will still be lazy and dirty. Where is your broom? Where is your mop? Where is your kitchen? Do you even have soap in this house?" She tied her wrapper around her waist and started packing the dirty plates on the floor. Jaden stood there, frozen, He was watching this small, poor girl who had just entered his house and was already shouting at him, ordering him around. For the first time in one year, a girl was not running away from his rudeness. She was challenging him. She was putting him in his place. "You heard about what I did to my ex? I poured pepper soup on her. I heard people talk about it. That's why no girl stays with you, right?" Luna said while packing plates. "If you try to pour pepper soup on me, I swear I will pour the whole pot on your head and use the plate to break your head!" Jayden was shocked... then he started to laugh. A loud, real laugh that he had not laughed in a long time. "Oh my God," he said, holding his stomach. "You are crazy. You are very crazy." "You are more crazy for living in this dirty house," Luna fired back. Jayden cleaned a space on the sofa and sat down. He was still laughing. "You are hired. But not as a normal maid," he said. Luna stopped. "What do you mean?" "I have had maids, They just clean and run away. You are different. You have bad and stubborn mouth. You will be my PERSONAL maid, You will live here, you will do all my chores, you will cook for me, i want to see how long you will last in this house . You are not the first person to call me a lazy man,my mother in London do call me lazy or call me rude too so I’m not surprised , I don't know how to do anything. But deep down Jayden fell in love with her stubborn attitude.I will pay you N600,000, double ,just for you to stay and not run away. What do you think?" N600,000. Luna's heart beat fast. With that money, she could pay her mother's hospital bill in just four months. "But I have rules, sir," Luna said, raising her hand. "Rules? You are giving me rules in my own house?" What an effrontery Jayden said, amused. "Yes. Rule one: you will never pour pepper soup on me or shout at me like you did to your ex or maid . If you are angry, you will talk calmly. Rule two: you will say please and thank you. You are a billionaire but you have no manners. Rule three: you will learn how to do small things. You will learn how to wash your own boxers! I am not your mother!" Jayden looked at her and smiled again. A soft smile. "Deal, Luna Rose. Welcome to my house. My dirty mansion is now your mansion, handle it with care and don’t destroy it if you don’t want me to pour pepper soup on you. Luna smiled for the first time that day. Maybe this job will not be so bad after all, Maybe this lazy, rude billionaire is just a lonely boy who needs someone to put him in his place. And maybe, Jayden thought as he watched Luna sweep his dirty floor with so much energy, maybe this poor, stubborn girl is the only girl who can finally change him. Because any other girl would have left immediately after seeing his house. But Luna stayed,And she was already making his house feel like a home.
