The wealthy man pretended to be asleep to test his shy maid â but when he opened his eyes and saw what she was doing, his heart stopped⊠and that quiet night changed his life forever.
Logan Whitmore was the type of billionaire headlines adoredâhandsome, untouchable, razor-smart, and unreadable. His Hamptons estate sprawled across twelve acres, a kingdom of glass, marble, and unnerving quiet.
To the world, he had it all: private jets, priceless art, vintage cars, and a net worth that made people kneel.
But behind the walls, Logan was empty.
Years of betrayal, lawsuits, and gold-diggers had carved suspicion into his bones.
He trusted no oneânot staff, not friends, not even himself.
âEveryone has a price,â he liked to say.
âEveryone.â
The only true loyalty in his life had come from his longtime housekeeper, Evelyn Brown, and her shy teenage daughter, Maya. Evelyn had served the Whitmore family for two decades, pouring more heart into the mansion than anyone else ever had.
But when Evelyn fell gravely ill and was hospitalized for months, nineteen-year-old Maya stepped into her motherâs place.
Maya Brown was unlike anyone Logan had ever encountered.
A soft-spoken girl with warm brown eyes, natural curls tied into a messy bun, and a quiet smile that looked like an apology. She moved through the mansion like she was afraid to breathe too loudly.
StillâŠ
Her innocence felt too flawless.
So when a business associate teased him earlier that weekââKeep an eye on that maid, Logan. Sweet girls hide sharp secretsââthe doubt stuck.
That night, Logan made a decision:
He would test her.
He wandered into the living room, feigning exhaustion.
âJust need a moment,â he murmured before collapsing onto the long leather couch.
He placed his gold cufflinks, a thick wallet, and a diamond-encrusted watch on the tableâworth more than Maya had ever held. Then he leaned back, closed his eyes, and pretended to fall asleep.
He waited.
Minutes crawled by.
Rain tapped against the windows.
The old clock ticked in the corner.
Thenâsoft footsteps began to approachâŠ
