Description

The master's growing fascination with his shy, demure employee...

The daughter of fallen nobility, Thedra Clyde is used to being mistreated. When she comes to work as a maid for Mr. Bentham, she knows better than to draw attention to herself and does all she can to stay out of his way.

Millionaire Roderick Bentham is a jaded war veteran with a disfiguring facial scar, used to stares and fending off gold diggers who hide their revulsion for his appearance behind thinly veiled smiles. Slowly becoming aware of his shy maid, he finds Thedra’s reticence wholesome and intriguing, and soon she becomes this fearsome man's obsession...

A few seconds pass and I hear another knock. I look up in anger at the sound, but the dark head that bobs in the doorway instantly lowers my defenses, and I even catch myself breathing a little sigh of relief to see this maid. The quiet, unassuming one who never once looks up from her task, not to sneer at my appearance, nor to flutter her eyelashes at me.
“I beg your pardon,” she speaks softly. “I’d assumed you’d be out by now, Mr. Bentham.”
“I slept in.”
“I was just going to grab the laundry, Sir. I can come back later if you’d prefer.”
“You’re not troubling me, carry on.”
She nods politely and goes to collect the hamper. I finish buttoning my shirt only to notice the cravat I wore yesterday sitting on my dressing table. That girl is at the door with the hamper when I call to her. “Wash this too.”
She sets the hamper down and walks over to take it from me, and our fingers brush faintly with the exchange.
“Thank you, Sir,” she murmurs, and leaves the room without ever looking up, once again leaving me staring after her.
What a contrast from my previous visitor, I think, looking briefly down at my fingers. And how ironic. Without standing out at all, she stands out to me more than anyone else...

Reader discretion advisory: this book contains themes of bullying and physical abuse.

    Hi, Friends! I'm a web-novel creator but also an avid consumer. I know what it means to find a quality free story, and so I'd like to keep my short stories free for you, and help bring a little something special into your day. But I still have a family to support, two children and a little black dog who's always hungry. So please consider supporting my work so I can continue to bring you more of the stories you love.
    I'll thank you, and Ruffles will too!

    If we reach the current goal of 500k, I will be recording the next alternate ending of your choice and posting it on YouTube! Good luck!
