Amber stood at the front of the Mansion admiring how beautiful the mansion was and kept wishing in her heart for an opportunity to own and live in such a paradise. The rich Gonzalez mansion happens to be one of the beautiful mansions in the city, it was well built and had expensive edificts to beautify, it was a pleasure for Amber to work in such a house with her dad, but then working at the mansion has also brought tears to Amber. Falling in love with Alex the Gonzalez only son and heir to their business empires has not been a walk in the pack for Amber, her only consolation is the fact that Alex loves her back in return and has promised to always stand by her.

Amber's lips curled up in cute smiles as her mind wandered back to the very best and beautiful moments she had with Alex.

Amber looked up to see her boss Mrs Elena coming towards her in elegance, dressed in her rich purple dress with beautiful jewelries adorning her wrist and neck, she was a beautiful woman but unfortunately she's wicked and very ruthless.

The smiles on Amber's face began to diminish as she could see that Ma'am Elena was coming for her in anger. Amber knew that she was in trouble.

Amber POV

"I have told you severally to stay away from my son you dirty and poor church rat,I do not want to ever see you around my son ever again,I am going to that useless father of yours to warn him to keep you away from my son!" Ma'am Elena yelled at me, as she continued to drag my hair as though she would pull it off from the scrap.

The pain hurt so deeply from my scrap and was almost penetrating into my brain, it was as though my head was about to blow up. This has always been Mrs Elena's way of punishing me.

"I am sorry ma'am. I won't do that again," I pleaded and wailed in pain.

The pains from her hand were beginning to circulate the other parts of my body, not just my head anymore. This is what I have been passing through in the hands of the rich Gonzales ever since they found that the only son Alex was in love with me.

"No, I would not leave you , I have warned you severally but you have refused to listen so I would continue to hurt you till you leave my dearest son alone," She continued to beat me in every part of my body.

"I am really sorry ma'am, I already told you that U would never come close to him anymore," I cried out to her begging her to stop beating me.

"I will hold you here till your dad comes out to this place," she said, holding on to my clothes like a criminal.

I looked up and saw her husband approaching, I was a bit relieved that someone was finally coming to rescue me from her claws.

"Hey sweetheart, I have always told you to let the poor girl be okay," Mr Gonzalez said as he pulled me away from the grab of his wife.

Even though Ma'am Elena is rich and beautiful she had a very far heart, always ready to hurt people at any given time.

"No, I will keep hurting her till she learns to stay away from my son. I have warned her gently to stay away from my son but she wouldn't listen," she yelled loudly.

"She's just a young harmless girl,so let her be," Mt Gonzalez said to her.

"It's all your fault Ethan,if you had sacked them all this while, this wouldn't have been happening, but no you still kept them here for no reason," she yelled at her husband.

I wondered how her husband was able to put up with someone like her, she screamed at everyone that comes closer to her and she can be very huriable whenever she is angry.

I guess the noise from her voice and my cries might have attracted the attention of my dad. I saw him coming towards us.

"Hey you, Mr Lucas, tell this dirty daughter of yours to stay away from my son. You are not our class and would never be," she said pointing her fingers to my dad's face.

I was foaming with rage, she insults everyone in the workplace but I wouldn't have her insult my own dad.

"I would talk to her ma'am," my dad said, trembling in fear.

She stormed out of the room and went to the building taking her husband along with her.

"Hey you,I hope you do not plan on putting me into trouble here, I wouldn't allow you to do that to me," my dad said to me looking very sad.

My dad has always been my best friend, I didn't get to meet my mum as I was told that she had died immediately after giving birth to me. My dad and I had been working as domestic staff at the rich Gonzalez's mansion to add to the proceeds we make from my dad's farm. Life has really been so hard on my dad and I. I really wished we could have just a bit of a good life.

"I am sorry dad, I do not mean to cause pain,but I am really in love with Richard. I do not know how to stop him from loving me too," I became teary as I spoke to my dad.

"You have to do all you can to stay away from him, I do not want any more troubles," my dad said, with a sad look on his face.

I could feel my dad's worries and I really wished I could stop loving Richard at least to be free from the worries his mum constantly melts out to me, but no one had control over what the heart feels.

"I'm sorry dad, you do not have to be sad, let's go finish up with the chores,but you would have to smile for me dad," I said teasingly.

My dad smiled wearily. I could feel he was trying so hard to conceal the sadness in his heart.

"If only I could give us a good life, all of these wouldn't have been happening right now," he said trying to clean the little tear that was about to drop from his eyes.

I really hate to see my dad this way.

"Whatever it would take me, I would make sure to get really rich, if not for any reason, to pay ma'am Elena back for all the pains she had caused us," I said to myself in heart, my face looking so mean.

I took my dad to continue with the chores we had to do. My dad had been a trusted staff of the Gonzalez's mansion, yet it didn't stop him from also working at his own farm.

I went into the house to do some laundry, I felt the presence of someone in the room, I looked up to see Alex coming out from his room, I tried to avoid him as quickly as possible.

"Hey,Amber," he called out to me, walking fast to catch up with me.

I turned to face him as he grabbed me by the arms and stared at me.

"Good morning sir," I greeted him, trying to free myself from his grab as my body hurt from the beating his mum gave me earlier.

"Amber, are you trying to avoid me or something?" He asked as he stared at me.

"No sir. I'm not trying to avoid you,I just had a few things to attend to ," I said looking away from his gaze.

"And what's with this 'sir' thing you came up with this morning," he asked me looking surprised.

"Nothing changes the fact that you are my employer and I am just a mere staff here," I told him.

"Oh,come off that, you do not have to do that, I thought we have talked about this several times," she said.

"Richard..!"...

I heard the voice of his mum calling out to him and I quickly ran off from him with the clothes in my hand. It would be another bad experience if Mrs Elena meets me with her son.

As I tried to run, Alex held me gently by the hand and Drew me closer to him.

"You do not have to run," he said as he held me by the waist.

Richard stared into my eyes and planted a kiss on my lips. His lips tasted like sweet berries, he was undoubtedly a cute guy, he had a cute looking face, beautiful body, broad shoulders and a kind heart too.

I remembered the very first day I met him, I had come to the mansion to tell my dad that part of his farm was burning, Richard quickly helped us call the fire fighters to put off the fire and my dad's crops were saved from burning to ashes. That day I first fell for him but I hid my feelings because a girl as poor as I am, dares not fall in love with the rich Gonzalez's.

So we became mere friends and perhaps along the line he started to feel the same way towards me, but his Witch of a mum wouldn't let us be.

He planted another sweet kiss on my lips bringing me back from my memories.

I began to feel some urge gradually building up in my body, the atmosphere became tense as I could feel that his own desires were becoming intense.

He drew me very closely to himself and I could feel his manhood already becoming so hard. He kissed me even more deeply and I enjoyed every bit of his kiss.

"Please stop," I said faintly, not so sure if U should say it louder.

I was really enjoying what he was doing to me. He held me even more closely and tightly.

"And why would you want me to stop," he replied with lust filled in his eyes as he looked at me.

"I don't know, maybe because it's not right, or maybe because of your mum," I told him.

"My dear Amber, there is nothing wrong with being in love,and as for my mum, let me worry about that," said and resumed the kiss.

We kissed more deeply as our back leaned on the door to his room, he quietly opened the door to his room and went in, he laid me on the bed and I moaned softly.

"Aww,aww.."
