‼️🚩DISCLAIMER FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T READ THE BLUR!🚩‼️

This is a DARK ROMANCE. This is not a typical love story. In fact, you have to squint to see the love.

To enjoy this, you may have to put your morals to the side.

‼️The ML is OBSESSED, CONTROLLING, AND CRAZY TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DANGEROUS. ‼️

THERE IS AN AGE GAP

The man has no ETHICS when it comes to her.

Fl may be a doormat in the BEGINNING, BUT SHE WILL GET STRONGER.

‼️THE ML WILL NOT BE CHANGED TO SOMEONE ELSE NO MATTER WHAT‼️

This story is not for the faint of heart. I have written other stories that are bubbly if this isn't for you. You can try those.

Now, for those that are still with me. Let us begin.

PROLOGUE

Every day, thousands of babies are born across the world.

But today two babies stood out the most.

[City Hospital]

One baby was born into generational wealth while the other generational poverty.

One was the daughter of the wealthy family while the other daughter of their maid.

The madam and maid had gone into labor on the same day.

She hands the baby to the women on the bed.

Meanwhile, in another hospital room.

A much more fancy and private one.

A nurse enters holding a baby and gives the baby to the mother after cleaning it.

The moment is interrupted when the phone rings.

A voice comes from the other side of the phone sounding serious.

The person on the other side of the phone hangs up.

That day, two babies were born that would live very different lives.

Yet their lives were forever tied.

One was destined for a life of hardship.

While the other a life of luxury.

°○CHAPTER TWO○°

●

Orchid's Pov

○

~ My whole life has been filled with three things.

~ Hardship

~ For instance, when I was four, our father gambled away our home.

■ Flashback ■

[MOSE HOUSE]

~ That day, the house was filled with creditors

~ My mother held me at her waist fighting the creditors and my father.

~ The creditors were destroying our home

~ My mother was in tears

~ Just when it felt as if my family had reached rock bottom and no one could save us, Madam Steyn came as a knight in shining armor.

~ Madam Steyn had overheard the conversation between my parents when she had arrived with her own daughter, who was my age.

~ Just like that, my life became connected to the Steyn family.

●○●

~ The second thing in my life was:

~ Torment

~ It began 3 years after we moved into the Steyn estate outhouse.

~ The first time I met Odessa Steyn, which was the day her eldest sister was getting married.

~ They had decided for the wedding to happen at the Steyn estate.

■ Flashback ■

[STEYN ESTATE]

~ My mother had sent me to Odessa's room to get her shoes.

[ ODESSA'S ROOM ]

~ Some appeared behind me.

~ That was my first impression of Odessa Steyn and certainly not the last.

~ Over the years, she's never failed to remind me of my place.

~ And I'm sure you're wondering why don't I just tell my mum I'm being bullied. That is because I don’t want her to lose her job.

~ Odessa has power and is cherished in the Steyn family even more now that her sister is married

●○●

The third thing, which was worse than all, was:

OBSESSION

I would soon learn what it would mean to have someone obsessed with you controlling your whim and watching your every move.

CHAPTER THREE

●

Narrator's Pov

●

14 Years later.

Atop a sky rise hotel in the upper class side of Pine city.

There was a problem in room 101

A slap landed hard on a girl's cheek.

And the culprit for this slap was none other then Odessa.

Tears stream down Orchids face as she tries to defend herself.

"CUT!" The director shouts.

The hotel room was currently a flim set filled with cameras.

Filming for the upcoming highly anticipated series Dynamite Love was taking place.

In this series, Odessa was the female lead and Henry the male lead.

Orchid was a minor character who died in the second episode.

Odessa slaps Orchid hard again.

And so they did do it again.

And again

and again

and again

This went on fifteen more times.

Before Odessa finally had enough fun and decided to complete the scene.

By the time filming came to an end, it was already midnight.

●○●

[STEYN OUTHOUSE]

currently sitting in the living room of this cabin was Orchid and her sister, who had just gotten back.

Vans said, putting a bag of ice on Orchids' bruised face.

The family had been struggling for the past ten years after their mother broke her spine, leaving her unable to work. Not long after, their father ran away, having gambled away the family’s savings and trust. With everything falling apart, the responsibility of the household rested on the daughters. Vans chose to take her mother’s place working for the Steyn family so they could continue living in the outhouse. At the same time, she encouraged young Orchid, who was naturally beautiful and talented, to pursue acting to help cover their mother’s medical expenses. Their eldest brother, unfortunately, could not assist, as he was studying abroad.

Van carefully wipes Orchid's tears.

Orchid's eyes lit up hearing this news.

Orchid's excitement quickly dies down, turning into confusion.

Orchid throws herself back on the couch.
