IFWTCM Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Misfortunes, as the saying goes, tend to come all at once. For Velita, whose life had always been plagued by bad luck, today was the first time she truly understood the weight of those words. The next time she saw Selina, after overhearing her casual conversation with the maids in the maze garden, was at dinner. Jeremy had been out all day, leaving Velita with little to do but assist in setting up the dining table for the evening meal. As the Count and Selina entered, they began…-

IFWTCM Chapter 6
Chapter 6 From that day onward, Jeremy treated Velita as if nothing had happened. Whatever it was he had seemed on the verge of confessing, he now kept entirely to himself. If anything, he seemed more distant than before. He still joked and spoke with her, but only in the way one would address any ordinary maid. Perhaps it was for the best. Yet for some reason, it was Velita who couldn’t stop thinking about that unfinished conversation, wondering endlessly what Jeremy had wanted to…-

IFWTCM Chapter 5
Chapter 5 Serving Jeremy turned out to be less challenging than Velita had anticipated. In fact, it was easier than attending to Selina. Jeremy didn’t require her to play hide-and-seek or read stories as if she were caring for a child. Instead, he often took Velita horseback riding or invited her to sit on the sofa and share tea while they talked.

As his gaze traveled from her forehead down to the bridge of her nose, it felt almost as though an invisible hand was brushing against her skin. “Velita, this must be your first time meeting my brother, right?” Unaware of Velita’s inner turmoil, Selina asked cheerfully, oblivious to any…-

IFWTCM Chapter 3
Chapter 3 Though Velita thought she had grown used to it, the nights in the unfamiliar Ryles estate still occasionally pulled her from slumber. Tonight happened to be one of those nights. ‘I’ll be tired again tomorrow.’ On nights like this, when she awoke midway through her sleep, she could never fall back asleep until morning. It was clear she’d have to endure yet another sleepless night. With the dawn still far off, Velita carefully glanced at Janice, who was sound asleep in the bed…-

IFWTCM Chapter 2
Chapter 2 ―Jeremy Ryles― Life as a maid was more peaceful than any of the days Velita had lived. Life here was simple. All Velita needed to do was avoid slacking off, stay busy, and focus solely on serving her mistress. Quick-witted, Velita knew that her survival in this place depended entirely on winning Selina's favor. After all, Selina wouldn’t shower her with affection forever just because she had once helped her in the slums. Fortunately, Velita genuinely liked Selina, the woman who…-
