But with the arrival of the boy next door Steven Sarrosa and John Paolo's ex-girlfriend, Mary Adrianne Pascual will Maricar and John Paolo still be able to continue their relationship?
I really couldn't believe my luck tonight when I read the message to me on my Facebook account by a strange teenage guy Steven G. Sarrosa.
"AHHH!" I kept shouting with great excitement when I read his message
"I want to meet you soon that's why I'm inviting you to my birthday party next week. I'll message you at my exact address in Taguig. I like to get you to know you better Miss beautiful."
Only now will it happen in my whole life that there is also a man who can admire my inherent simplicity despite my poverty that becomes a way to discriminate me by my classmates at the university and they almost all curse me because of the disgust that I do not belong to their standard of living. But they have no right to trample on my whole being, they are not the ones who live and feed me so whatever they say I should not be affected by their insults to me.
I am Maricar P. Belmonte my life changed when I got a job with the Araneta family since I became Sofia's nanny tutor. I was very indebted to Mr. Tom and I almost treated him like a father but his eldest son John Paolo was the only person I could never get along with because of his bad behavior.
"Hey what are you doing ambitious frog?" a voice whispered behind my back, I turned to see John Paolo there and watched the content of my messages on my Facebook account on the laptop. I was shocked, I closed the laptop from time to time but his force was strong and he stopped me until he intervened to read the messages.
I frowned and raised an eyebrow at him.
"What are you, a ghost? How did you get into my room?" I raised my voice to him.
He looked at me a little annoyed at the tone of my voice.
"Of course, I can enter your room because the door isn't locked. Wait, who are you chatting with?" he took a good look at Steven's profile picture and seemed to recognize it well. It's because I don't like chatting with men I don't know, I'm just curious now because he looks harmless and kind.
I tried to close my laptop but John Paolo quickly grabbed my laptop and I almost fell on the bed. He couldn't even apologize to me even though I was a little hurt by what happened.
"What are you? You're already violating my data privacy but I'll let you know the identity of my chatmate. He's Steven Sarrosa, he is popularly known as 'MR. BOY NEXT DOOR' he's a transfer student from Olongapo and he's currently a varsity player, smart and handsome and at the same time GENTLEMAN .......
I glared at John Paolo, I emphasized to him the good character traits of Steven Sarrosa so that he would have a little bit of shame for himself.
But he seemed numb and he even frowned at me and then grinned as if he wasn't interested in what I was saying.
"Are you sure this is Steven Sarrosa's real account? Maybe he's a scammer and you just believe that he owns this Facebook account. I'm sure he'll just request your money. One more thing, Steven's lifestyle is luxurious that he won't notice you then, he is not interested in some kind of ambitious frog like you. Remember, the princess is for the prince and you Keroleen is just for Keroppi. So don't be illusory. "
John Paolo would do anything to make me feel angry and I figure out that he will insult me all night, I really couldn't help it, I tried to snatch my laptop from him but I was too annoyed with him so I fought him.
"Hey, you're overreacting huh, if I'm a frog in your eyes you're a goat, you haven't taken a bath all day. Alas if you're the only man left in the world I won't date you because of the stench of your smell, take a bath." I still try to compete with him with my laptop but he tightens his grip on it even more.
"Icay, even if I don't take a bath today, I still smell good and my breath smells good too." At that point he suddenly let go of my laptop which caused my laptop to bounce on the bed, fortunately, it did not fall to the floor if it went to the floor then my laptop was surely broken, I saved money for a long time and I didn't spend my full salary in a month just to afford a laptop then, now it will just be ruined lightly because of John Paolo's actions.
I was even more annoyed with John Paolo, I quickly got up from the bed and when I found the reed broom I immediately ran to the side of the room and I quickly took it, I turned around and noticed that John Paolo was looking for something that could be applied to the broom-reed, maybe he felt that I was going to hit him so he thought of a way so that I wouldn't hit him.
He went to the bathroom and when he came out, he was holding the long floor scrub and there I rushed him out the door. He ward-off the long floor scrub to become a shield as I continued to aim at him with the broom, we circled the room until I stepped on the floor mat, I was out of balance and my broom-reed flew into the air, I hugged John Paolo until he fell to the floor and let go of the long floor scrub.
"AHHH!" I shouted until I realized that John Paolo was prone on top of me and I was under him, my eyes widened as I stared at his face.
CRICK.
I heard the creaky sound of the door opening.
"Hey! You are disturbing a lot of people here; you make to wake up Sofia and Sir Tom. Go to sleep." Mrs. Aurea shouted; she is the house butler of the mansion.
After a while she closed the door, she wasn't even surprised at what she witnessed maybe she didn't even notice us in our awkward position.

For three years, I waited to become the perfect Luna for my pack, to give the Alpha an heir. Three years of lies, of being the outsider in someone else's love story. Three years of grieving the loss of my baby and plotting revenge against the man who disfigured my face and ruined my womb. I had two choices: die at the hands of my own pack or escape and survive. I chose to hide and live. The Lycan King, Fenrir Lycros-the most bloodthirsty, ruthless ruler to ever lead the werewolves with an iron fist-made me his personal maid. It was the most dangerous role I could have, where even the slightest mistake could cost me my life. But no one from my past would think to look for me here. "Always be submissive, don't speak unless spoken to, don't listen, don't see anything, don't disturb the Lycan or you will die," were the simple rules I followed. I thought I was doing well-until one day, the King made me an offer I couldn't refuse. "Do you want me to save those people? Then give yourself to me tonight. Be my woman. I desire you, and I know you feel the same. Just once, Raven, only once..." But it wasn't just once. Passion turned into something deeper, something neither of us could deny. That cold, untamable man had somehow conquered my heart as well. However, when the past returned to haunt me and the truth about my birth came to light, I faced another choice: run from the Lycan King or wait for his mercy. "I'm sorry, but this time, I won't lose my pups again-not even for you, Fenrir Lycros."
