Stella was working as a florist before an unfortunate situation caused her to lose her job. With her mom's life on the line in the hospital, Stella knew she had to find a good job to make money fast to pay for her mom's transplant surgery.

She was thrilled when she saw an ad for a maid position for a Rich family, she did an interview and luckily for her she got the job.

Little did she know that something more in depth was waiting for her the moment she stepped into the House of Valerio


And met Daryl Valerio......

His Substitute Lover

"I want to see my grandkids before I start to forget everything son!". 


I sighed and ran a hand through my hair at my father's outburst. I couldn't take it all especially right now. My head was in a different place since the day I went to see Stella and she said those things that I didn't want her to say because I knew they were true. 


I was selfish. I was selfish because I can't see her with anyone else even thou we couldn't be together. I want her so much and the day she said I should go I didn't even go home. I turned off my phone and went to a bar to drink. When I got home almost midnight Amanda was upset but did I care? nope. I didn't even sleep in the same bed with her. 


" Dad, I can't have a baby with someone I don't love. It's just not going to happen", I replied looking straight in his eyes. It occurred to me that Amanda had put some thought in his head about kids.
