The Billionaire's Legal Wife

The maid

Chapter 04

"Brianna..." She felt a warm hand on her shoulder, and she looked up to see Claire, one of the maids who worked in the house, and eventually became her close friend. "It's okay. Your dad will be okay."

She nodded, giving Claire a small smile, and watched her as she walked out of the kitchen.

"Brianna!" Daphne called out, halting her as she was about to scoop soup. "You need to stay in the kitchen. Don't even think about going into the living room, and definitely don't let the guests see you, got it?"

She furrowed her brows, struggling to comprehend the reason why the guests couldn't see her.

"Mom, let's go! They're here!" Hailey's excited voice boomed, her heels click-clacking on the floor as she dragged her mother back into the living room.

The doorbell chimed, a sign that the visitors had finally arrived.

"Good afternoon, Mr. And Mrs. Miller, and of course, Blake!" Brianna heard her uncle greet them warmly as she continued what she was doing before Daphne interrupted her earlier.

She was keeping her fingers crossed that the Miller family would leave soon so that she could talk to her uncle again about her father's surgery.

"You have a beautiful and lovely home!" a woman exclaimed, and Brianna believed that it was Blake's mother.

She couldn't help but feel curious about the visitors' looks, so she hid behind the wall and peeked through it. Her eyes brightened upon seeing the graceful woman with dark hair and warm emerald eyes hugging Hailey.

Everybody greeted each other warmly, kissing each other's cheeks. Hailey automatically drew towards a man, a handsome man to be exact, who was dressed in a dark blue suit. But the man seemed to be unaffected by her presence, which made Hailey pout her lips and roll her eyes.

Her jaw dropped when she realized that it was Blake Miller.

"Is the soup done yet?" Claire asked as she entered the kitchen after setting the main dish on the dining table, making Brianna rush back to the counter. "Can you help me serve the wine, Brianna?"

"I'm really sorry, Claire, but Aunt Daphne said I need to stay in the kitchen," she explained, pulling out wine glasses from the cabinet one by one. "I can't go out there. The guests can't see me."

"What?" Claire sneered, stopping from lifting the bowl of soup. "What was her reason, though?"

Brianna shrugged, totally confused about why she couldn't be seen by the guests.

"You know what? Maybe it's because Miss Hailey doesn't want Sir Blake to see you since you're way prettier than her," Claire laughed. "He might rethink marrying Hailey!"

Brianna couldn't help but smile at Claire's words. Back when they lived in the countryside, everyone thought they were twins. They had the same hair and eye color, looked alike in build and skin tone, and even shared the same birthday.

But now that Hailey's loaded, she could buy whatever she wanted, especially stuff to treat herself. She frequently visited the salon and specialists, which was why her hair, skin, and body looked fantastic. Blake Miller definitely was into her.

Just then, they heard someone clear their throat. "Where's the wine? The guests are waiting!" Daphne's bossy voice startled them. She shot Brianna a look when she noticed her holding the wine glasses. "Put those down. Didn't I tell you to stay put? Claire! Get it together! Move it!"

Brianna quietly placed the wine glasses on the table, keeping her head low, while Claire hurried to grab the wine glasses.

Brianna could feel Daphne's intense stare. Once they got out of the kitchen, she sighed in relief and made her way to the restroom in the corner. Daphne never really liked her, and she had no idea what she did to earn that.

When she stepped out of the restroom, she spotted Hailey's fiancé standing in the middle of the kitchen, looking like he was struggling to find his way.

Blake was looking around the kitchen, searching for the restroom, when he noticed a pretty girl emerging from the small room in the left corner.

He was taken aback, gazing at the stunning girl before him. Her simple dress hugged her figure just right, accentuating her curves in all the right spots, causing him to squint in appreciation. He never imagined someone so gorgeous would be working as a maid at the Parker's house.

As soon as their gazes connected, Brianna's eyes widened. She glanced up at Blake in bewilderment. Blake couldn't see her! It was strictly forbidden for any visitor to see her!

She turned on her heels and was about to step back into the restroom when she suddenly heard Blake call out.

"Excuse me, Miss." he called, making sure his voice sounded so deep and warm, the sort of voice he used whenever he was in bed with a woman, as he walked closer to where she stood.

At a height of six feet and two inches, he easily towered over her, the well-tailored dark blue suit displaying his impressive appearance.

"Is that the restroom?" he asked.

"Uhm, yeah..." Brianna replied, looking down and taking a step back to let the man pass.

"Thank you."

She expected him to walk by, but he halted right in front of her, so close that she could catch a whiff of his incredible scent. His musky cologne filled the air, blending with his natural male aroma and a touch of earthy freshness like rain-soaked woods. His warm, minty breath brushed against her forehead, making her nearly shut her eyes tight.

Caught in his intense gray eyes, her breath hitched, and she quickly glanced down, hesitant to meet that fiery gaze again.

Blake stood there with a smirk on his lips, fully aware that she was too bashful to look him in the eye, her focus glued to the ground.

He couldn't help but be captivated by her sweet innocence and natural beauty. Her dark brown hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, revealing her lovely neck, with soft curls cascading down her back beautifully.

Her body was in perfect shape. And perfect for his bed. He had to resist the urge to pull her close and wrap her in his arms. Her flawless skin seemed so soft and smooth, and her natural red lips looked so delicious.

He took a deep breath, thinking, 'I want her to become my maid and f**k her. I want to hear her sweet voice scream my name as I pleasure her. Damn!'

But that was off the table now since he was engaged to Hailey, his current girlfriend. He had f****d different women in the past, but now that he was about to marry her, things were going to change.

However, he had one stipulation: he wanted a virgin wife. He craved the experience of being with someone who had no prior experience.

A pure woman was meant to be his wife. If Hailey couldn't meet that expectation, the wedding was off.
