ANDREA POV
I woke up the next day only to see that our luggage have been packed.
But how? Who?…….I couldn’t finish asking myself that question because I saw my mom by the closet packing the rest of our things
“What are you doing mom?”I asked and she turned to look at me.
“Packing, we can’t stay here anymore”She said softly
“You know we can’t leave here”I said ask went to her
“Yes we can, I will get another job and you can keep on going to your school”she said softly
“You know we can’t afford to leave right now, we have no where to go”
“The savings I have will get us a cheap house to rent”She said and I looked away feeling guilty
“What’s wrong”she asked not missing the look on my face
“I used the savings money for your operation mom”
“So we don’t have any money to rely on”I finished feeling very guilty.
She stood shocked for a while and sat on the floor.
“So we have to stay here?”she asked and i nodded
“We have to”I replied as I sat on the floor with her
“What will we do about the boss? will you stay here and suffer because of her son” She asked
“Don’t worry about me mom, I will be fine”I said
She stared at me for a long time and hugged me.
“When it’s suffocating and hard for you, tell me, I will do my best to get you out of here” She said and I found the tears coming but I held back.
I won’t let my mom see me cry, not again, I thought.

???
“I will skip the study session today”
“But why?”Beatrice asked as we both chatted on the phone.
“I have things to do”I replied
“Fine then, we will just do it with out you, Max is not coming too ,so that makes the two of you”she said.
“See you on Monday then”I said and clicked off the phone.
I sighed and walked off to the garden, Max isnt able to go and that is because a party is being held or should I call it a luncheon.
Ever since the incident I haven’t seen him, not even a glimpse of him, I might get to see him at the Party.
He is probably keeping his distance, his mom wouldn’t stay back and let things get more messier.
I guess I will just have to see him at the party,I thought.
I turned only to see Max standing there and he was starring at me.
He look haggard and judging by his face,he didn’t have a good sleep,I can tell because I also suffered the same thing.
I saw him clench his fist and then he turned to leave, with out even saying any thing to me.
“Max!”I called and he stopped
“Aren’t you even going to say hello”I said as I stared at him, he still had his back turn to me
“Let’s break up”he said instead
“What?”
“You heard me,Let’s break up! Let’s pretend we don’t know one another, whenever you see me ignore me, I will also do the same”He said shattering my heart into pieces
“Was that what your mother asked in exchange for us to keep staying here?”I asked
“That shouldn’t concern you, just do as I say Andrea, it’s for the best”
“It might be the best for you but it’s not for me but I know that if I should insist on us being in a relationship,I will put you in more difficult situation,so I will do as you say, I will ignore you and pretend not to know you”I said starring at his back.
“Good then, let’s keep our distance, I will take my leave first”he said
“No Max! Let me do that,I will leave first”I said and that’s because I don’t want him to see me cry.
Quickly I walked past him and though it hurts so much, I will just have to stay away.

MAX POV
I stood watching her leave,I would have gone to her but remembering what my mother had said to me, I took the other path leading to the entrance of the house.
A car was there and I saw Rose parents getting out of the car and then Rose herself, why is she here? We were just going to talk about the engagement with her parents,does she have to be here? I thought as I went towards them greeting them.
“Welcome”my mom said as she walked out to welcome them.
“It’s so nice to see you again”Rose father said shaking my mom.
“What about Max father?”her mom asked
“Well he cant make it today but he has asked me to proceed with every thing, shall we”She said as we all began to walk in
“Hello Max”Rose said beside me and I remembered some thing .
If Rose should see that Andrea works here, she will certainly make it known to every one at school that Andrea is nothing but a liar.
I have to tell Andrea to leave the house,so she won’t be caught.
“Am talking to you Max”Rose said jolting me to reality
“Whatever you have to say will have to wait, I need to do some thing, excuse me”I said to the adult who were ahead of us
“I need to do some thing,I will be real quick”I said as I ran off.
I went to the maid quarter insearch of Andrea only to see her mom
“Please is Andrea home?”I asked
“Why? Do you want to cause more problem for her” her mother replied
“I just want to talk to her?”I said
“I think it’s best that you leave my daughter alone, she has been through a lot young master,so please let her live here with out more worries”she begged me softly
“I know that have been the problem in her life and believe me when I say that I would like to talk about it with you but I have to see Andrea first, please where is She?”I asked
“She went out to do some food shopping” she replied
“That’s a relief, please make sure she doesn’t do any thing during the luncheon, tell her that she should stay locked in or better yet she should leave the house,it’s really important”I said and quickly went back to the guest.

ANDREA POV
“Am back mom”I called as I put the groceries on the table.
“Your mom went out to do some serving”a maid replied
“Oh,I will just wait here for her”I said
“Instead of waiting, can you help me take this to the luncheon, I still need to finish here”she said handing me a tray full of desert.
I didn’t want to go there or to see Max but i can’t refuse to help, after all am also a maid some how.
I took the tray and head out to the room where the luncheon will be held only for me to stop when I saw Max standing beside Rose.
Rose was leaning on him while he held her by the waist.
“Don’t they look perfect!”I heard a man say
“Of course they do, that was why we chose Rose, she is perfect for my son”Max mom added
“Now that you two are engaged, we should prepare for the wedding right?”A lady whom I presume to Rose mother said happily.
“Isn’t that too soon”max said
“Of course not, the earlier they prepare for us, the better”Rose said and then she pecked Max on the cheek.
As quietly as I came, I went back to the kitchen.
I can’t believe that Max is now engaged to Rose, is that why he told us to break us,so he could be with Rose.
“Oh you are back! Uh Max came to see me earlier and told me to tell you not to do any thing at the luncheon,he even said that you should stay in your room till it ends, do you know why he would say such a thing?”My mother said as she walked into the kitchen.
“To hide the truth “I said softly still thinking of what I heard earlier
“What truth?” She asked
“Nothing, I will be back soon”I said as I head out side.

ROSE POV
“It’s now done, am Max fiancee”I said into the phone as I walked out of the mansion
“Oh he is taking it well but………”I stopped when I saw Andrea walking out of the house
“Isn’t that Andrea!”I said as I cut the call
What is she doing here,I thought as I ran after her .
She hasn’t noticed me yet and she was heading towards the gate.
“Andrea!”I called and she stopped to stare at me
“I knew it was you! Tell me what you are doing here?”I said.
