A wealthy man falls for a woman he has never seen, unaware that the mysterious stranger he can't stop thinking about is actually the maid working in his own home. As their two worlds collide under one roof, she must hide who she really is while he searches for the woman who captured his heart.
Hey, new girl. You came in with Tamara, right? So what's the deal between her and the Don? I thought about everything that had happened between me and Nico. Then I looked at them and swallowed past the lump in my throat.
I... I didn't know. Someone like me. Fat, plain, and full of insig... No one would believe me. Besides, Valenti had never seen me.
If he'd seen the real me, he probably would have been grossed out. They gossiped about Tamara for a while, then got bored of it. So they turned their attention back to me. Hey, new girl. Weren't you getting coffee for everyone? Don't back out now.
Hey, new girl. I had to go into town tonight to pick up my daughter from school, so you could go ahead and mop the armory floor for me. Before long, the pile of dirty tablecloths in front of me had turned into a small mountain. By the time I finished all that work, it was already past eight.

I sighed and opened social media. Tamara had posted a selfie three hours earlier. She was standing in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, smiling bright and Another day of working so hard.
So grateful to my big boss for taking care of me. I couldn't help zooming in on the photo. There was a figure reflected in the glass.
