On our wedding night, just as Dax and I were about to make love, his secretary, Serena, burst in. She slammed a domestic servitude contract on the table in front of me. “One, no freedom! No days off, available to the mistress 24/7!” “Two, no dignity! You’ll remove the mistress’s shoes, wash her feet, and provide kneeling service every night at the mistress’s bedroom door!” “Three, no shame! You’ll sleep with the master periodically to fulfill his needs!” “…” “Nine, the mistress is afraid of childbirth, so you must bear the master at least one son. The child will call the mistress ‘Mom.’” “Employer: Serena, Employee: Aria.” My mind froze the moment I finished reading. I felt completely numb. Not only did the mistress want to take my place, but she also wanted to hire me as her maid? Had she gone completely insane? “Serena, stop this nonsense!” Dax’s angry shout had barely faded when two burly bodyguards rushed in. “Mr. Dax, our young miss was swapped at birth. She’s just been found today, the true heiress of Silverwood City’s illustrious Silverwood Group.” “The young miss is still willing to marry you; you should be honored.” I was stunned again. Silverwood City’s Silverwood Group? Wasn’t that the company founded by Mr. Harrison Sr., the most powerful among my thirteen sponsors?
“Darling, do you still think I’m making a scene?” I was about to speak, but Dax, who had snapped out of his daze, embraced Serena, trembling with excitement. “No, not at all!” “Absolutely not a scene!” “My precious, I… I’m so madly in love with you!” As he spoke, they completely ignored me, as if I were invisible, and began passionately kissing. My heart felt like it was being slowly tortured, torn to shreds. I had planned a huge surprise for Dax on our wedding night, during our sweetest moment. Instead, I’d been struck by a bolt of lightning that left my mind blank. They grew more and more lost in each other, clothes shedding one by one. Just as they were about to take the final step… “Oh, dear!” Serena purred, pushing him away quickly. Dax paused, then awkwardly scratched his head. “My bad, my bad, I almost lost control. I completely forgot you’re on your period today.” I let out a self-deprecating, utterly desolate laugh. Dax could never remember when his wife, me, was on her period, but he knew hers. It seemed they had been intimate countless times behind my back, in the office, in the car. Serena jutted her chin at me, then added, “It’s fine. If you’re really desperate, isn’t there a ready-made option right in front of you?” Dax looked a little uncomfortable. “I’m about to divorce her. It wouldn’t be right…” “What’s wrong with it?” “The domestic servitude contract clearly states that when I’m unavailable, she’s your personal pleasure girl, there to fulfill your needs!” “Anyway, you’ve used this woman so much she’s practically worn out. I don’t mind you continuing to sleep with her. Better to sleep with your ex-wife than to look for someone random outside, right?” My anger flared. I tore the domestic servitude contract into tiny pieces. “You disgusting couple, I’m not interested in your sick role-playing games.” “Dax, we’re done.” I turned to leave, but the two bodyguards rushed over and held me firmly. “What are you doing? Let me go!” Slap! Serena slapped me, her voice haughty. “My word is law. Since I’ve chosen you as my maid, you have no right to refuse.” “You’ll accept whether you want to or not!” She then ordered the bodyguards to pry open my mouth. From her pocket, she pulled out a small pill and forced me to swallow it. That bitch, she came prepared! Soon, I felt like I was burning up, my cheeks flushed crimson, and my eyes grew hazy. “Darling, have fun tonight.” “Go wild, don’t hold back!” Bang! The bedroom door closed. Dax lunged at me like a madman, pinning me beneath him. He ignored my struggles, my screams, and was even more fervent and violent than ever before. Every previous time, I felt surrounded by happiness. But now, there was only pain. Endless pain! That night felt endlessly long… When I woke up in the morning, Dax was gone. Every cell in my body screamed in agony, as if torn apart. I could barely move an inch. A moment later, Serena pushed the door open. She smiled broadly. “You performed well last night. According to the contract, the ‘sleepover service’ is billed per session, $100,000 a pop.” “You know, many actresses in Hollywood don’t even get that price. You should be ecstatic!” With that, she pulled out a check and threw it at my face. I was instantly overwhelmed by extreme humiliation, feeling like a prostitute who had just finished with a client, utterly filthy! I don’t know how much time passed. After crying until no tears were left, I laboriously picked up my phone and dialed a number I hadn’t touched in ages. “Lilia, spread the word: I’m making a comeback.” “Also, help me organize a sponsors’ meeting. And make it quick!” I hung up, all pain and humiliation vanished from my eyes, replaced by boundless cold fury. The Black Phoenix, who once stirred countless storms in the global investment world, had returned from the ashes. And some misguided relatives, bringing home all sorts of undesirables, it was time for a purge.
The next day, I went to the company to finalize the divorce with Dax. As soon as I reached the lobby, I ran into Serena. “Oh? Well, look at you, resilient! I thought you’d be bedridden for at least three days.” “Where’s Dax? Tell him to come out. We’re finalizing the divorce today.” Serena frowned and snorted. “Who do you think you’re ordering around? Still acting like the boss’s wife?” “Get it straight! Our roles have reversed!” “I’m the master, you’re the maid!” The receptionist looked utterly astonished, clearly unaware of Serena’s new status. She immediately started frantically posting messages in the company’s WhatsApp group. “Oh my god! The boss’s secretary has lost her mind! She’s actually making the boss’s wife her maid!” Seeing more and more curious colleagues gathering, Serena clicked her tongue. “This awful pollution in Newport City is so annoying. My new shoes are dirty after just one day.” With that, she extended one foot toward me. “You, kneel down!” “Use your sleeve to wipe the dust off my shoes.” Seeing everyone stare, gaping in shock, Serena held her head high, a triumphant smirk on her face. I didn’t get angry; instead, I smiled. That bitch, she wanted to use me to establish her authority? As if I’d let her! I immediately stepped forward and stomped hard on her foot. “Ah!” “Aria! You’re dead!” She shrieked and raised her hand to slap me, but I was faster. Slap! I landed a brutal slap across her face and said coldly, “You’re just an employee. What right do you have to strut around in front of me?” “No matter what, I’m still the legitimate boss’s wife.” “Good slap!” “Serena is way too arrogant, she deserved it!” Employees cheered, but the next second, a cold shout suddenly came from the elevator. “Not anymore!” Dax walked out of the elevator, his face cold, and threw a divorce agreement at me. I casually glanced through it. My gaze lingered for a moment on the words ‘leave with nothing,’ then I immediately signed it. I didn’t care about his paltry possessions. Seeing this, the employees became anxious. “Mr. Dax, Serena provoked her first, the boss’s wife did nothing wrong!” “The boss’s wife knew you had stomach problems and brought you lunch every day, without fail.” “She always prepared milk and medicine for you before every business dinner. Even some of the company’s most profitable projects were led by the boss’s wife.” “It’s so unfair for you to treat her like this!” “…” My frozen heart trembled slightly again. All these years, my efforts had been seen by every employee. Only Dax, he never cared. Dax sneered, took Serena’s hand, and declared loudly, “Serena’s true identity is the heiress of the Silverwood Group!” “Now that she’s reunited with her family, I will marry her, and with the strong support of the Silverwood Group, our company will achieve even greater glory!” After a brief, dead silence, the entire hall erupted! “Silverwood Group? The famous conglomerate that set the record for the fastest IPO?” “With the Silverwood Group backing us, our salaries will at least double, right?” Everyone’s expressions instantly changed when they looked at me. The righteous indignation was gone, replaced by cold sarcasm. “What good is a domestic trophy wife, no matter how dutiful? Worthless in front of a wealthy heiress!” “Mr. Dax’s decisive action, that’s the style of a man who gets things done!” “…” Looking at their ugly, greedy faces, I shook my head and scoffed. As I turned to leave, a sharp pain shot through my calf. Thump! Dax kicked me, and I fell to my knees. I twisted my head, staring at him with bloodshot eyes, but he ignored me, pressing my head down to repeatedly bash it against the floor to apologize to Serena. “Serena, are you satisfied?” “No.” Serena pouted. “A mirror isn’t shiny unless you polish it; a wicked servant needs a beating!” “Darling, I want you to make this wretched slave kneel in front of everyone, to break her spirit!” A flicker of reluctance crossed Dax’s eyes. He whispered, “Serena, isn’t that a bit much? She is my ex-wife, after all…” Serena immediately raised an eyebrow. Just as she was about to speak, her phone buzzed. After reading it, her eyes lit up with fierce ambition, and she became even more arrogant.
“Serena, what’s wrong?” “In two days, Mr. Harrison Sr.’s boss is hosting a high-profile banquet in Silverwood City. Over a dozen of the nation’s top moguls will be attending.” “My dad wants to take you and me to experience it, but it seems you still have lingering feelings for this wretched slave, don’t you?” “I’ll tell my dad not to take you now, and I’ll reconsider our engagement.” As she spoke, she made a move to reply to the message. Dax snatched her phone, his eyes blazing with desire and ambition. “Serena, I think you’re absolutely right!” “This kind of wretched slave really does need a beating! She needs to know her place!” “Guards!” Soon, several security guards bound my hands and hoisted me up. I exploded, “Dax! How dare you!” “I am Serena’s grandfather’s boss!” Before I could finish, my legs were pinned to the ground. Serena glanced at the assembled employees and said, “You all praised her so much for being dutiful before. It seems you know her quite well, don’t you?” “Alright then, now start spilling her dirt!” Dirt? Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. Though they all wanted to curry favor with the wealthy heiress, they couldn’t think of a single thing. Seeing their hesitation, Serena publicly pulled out a wad of cash and slammed it on the reception desk. “$10,000 for each piece of dirt, unlimited.” “Get paid on the spot!” Under her ‘power of money,’ the atmosphere instantly became feverish. A female manager, who usually called me “Aria” and even wanted to be my ‘adopted sister,’ was the first to jump out: “I’ll go first! I’ve had enough of her for a long time!” “Before, she used to boss me around like a servant just because she was the boss’s wife. She often made me carry her bags, give her massages, and even feed her dog during work hours!” “She saw I was handsome and said she wanted to make me her sugar baby. When I refused, she slapped me in front of all the employees!” “I had it even worse! She knew my family was struggling, and my parents desperately needed surgery money. She threatened to fire me unless I became her boy toy!” “For my parents, I tearfully accepted, but I never expected her to be a pervert! She tortured me in various ways when I was with her…” “…” Serena giggled, opening a live stream on her phone, pointing the camera at me. She cooed, “Please, dear netizens, tell me what you think.” “Does a person like this deserve a beating?” The live stream comments quickly scrolled wildly. “Absolutely!” “We working people are already struggling enough every day. We serve the boss, and now we have to serve her, the boss’s wife? Does she think we’re animals?” “She’s even sexually harassing her own employees, that shameless bitch! She’s not even trying to hide it anymore!” “She’s the definition of a filthy rich socialite! Can’t your husband satisfy you? Are you that desperate for a man?” Serena contentedly ended the live stream, walked over, and pinched my chin. “Do you realize your mistake?” “Do you know what to do now?” Ptooey! I spit a bloody phlegm onto her face, my voice weak. “Bitch… you’re finished.” “Your father, your grandfather, your entire family will fall with you… I swear it!” “Ah!” “That’s disgusting! You bastard!” Serena snatched a belt and, enraged, splashed coffee all over me. “Still defiant when death is at your doorstep! I’ll teach you to be defiant!” Employees looked away, unable to bear the sight of me in my ragged, pathetic state. Watching Serena’s appreciative gaze, my lips trembled wildly. “You… you’re a psycho…” “You’re a maniac…” “Psycho?” Serena burst into another round of mad laughter. “This is just the beginning. The real madness is yet to come.” With that, she waved her hand. “Tonight, it’s company team-building, and I’m treating everyone to sushi.” “Bring this wretched slave along too. We’ll arrange the sushi on her body. A perfect way to ‘utilize’ her.” My mouth twitched violently. My eyes, filled with rage and disbelief, were like knives, wishing to gouge her out on the spot. “You… you wouldn’t dare?!” Before I could finish, a sharp pain shot through the back of my head, and my consciousness plunged into darkness.
When I woke up again, I was lying on a cold, large table. Everyone was gone. Mint leaves, sushi rice, and caviar pearls were scattered haphazardly on my bloodied, naked body. I stared blankly at the ceiling, replaying the humiliating scenes from not long ago. Every second I thought about it, my nerves felt like they were being pierced by venomous needles. The pain was nearly suffocating! I don’t know how long passed. Dressed in a work uniform given to me by a kind server, I returned home. Seeing my mom, Brenda, there, my numb nerves finally found a moment of solace. Then I noticed she was kneeling on the floor, gently massaging a pair of bare feet. My gaze slowly moved upward. It was none other than Serena. Before I could fully process it, I saw my brother, Kevin, running over with a basin of hot water, smiling eagerly. “Miss Serena, I’ll draw your foot bath.” Serena looked utterly delighted, then smugly turned her head to glance at me. “See? You didn’t want to be my servant, but plenty of others do.” “I just offered $200,000 a month, and your mom and brother were scrambling to try out. Tsk tsk… the power of money is truly effective!” I staggered, nearly falling. I couldn’t believe my eyes or my ears. “Mom, Kevin, what have you…” “Do you even know that I divorced Dax because of her!” “All these injuries on my body are also thanks to this disgusting couple. They even… they even made me into a human sushi platter!” Kevin shrugged indifferently. “Yeah, we know. Miss Serena told us everything when she got back.” “You can’t blame Miss Serena and Dax for the divorce. They’re a perfect match. You should have stepped aside a long time ago.” Brenda even admonished me, “You disobeyed Miss Serena earlier, so it’s only right that she taught you a lesson. From now on, you need to serve her diligently.” Then, she handed me a book. The Premium Domestic Service Handbook. Brenda continued, “Aria, you’re not the rich madam you used to be. You’re a nobody now, with no money, no home, no prospects.” “Now Miss Serena is even willing to hire you for $500,000 a month, plus the per-session payment for sleeping with Dax, your monthly income would exceed a million dollars!” “What more could you want? Hurry up and thank Miss Serena!” Listening to Serena’s grating, mad laughter, I gave a desolate smile. The little color left in my face completely drained away, leaving not a trace. As I turned to leave, Brenda shouted again, “Stop!” “If you walk out that door, we’re disowning you!” “Fine.” I replied, and without looking back, I left. Walking out of the complex, the biting night wind made me tremble uncontrollably, and the tears I had been holding back burst forth like a broken dam. “Aria…” “From now on, you have no family.” I murmured to myself, then contacted Lilia, my assistant, to book a flight, flying to Silverwood City overnight. Two days later. The ballroom on the top floor of a five-star hotel in Silverwood City was packed with celebrities and wealthy elites. Serena and Dax were among them, being led by Mr. Davies, weaving through the crowd, toasting. During this, Serena’s gaze kept flicking toward the majestic gilded armchair at the head of the table. “Dad, that chair is so beautiful. I wish I could sit in it.” Mr. Davies jumped in alarm, rebuking her quietly. “That chair is prepared for your grandfather’s boss. It’s beyond your reach.” “Oh, come on, I was just saying!” “But who exactly is grandpa’s boss? Must be over a hundred years old, right?” Mr. Davies’s face filled with admiration at her words. He sighed, “That is a legendary figure in the investment world, the Black Phoenix who once caused countless storms in global finance.” “Your grandpa says she’s quite young, probably around your age.” Serena and Dax secretly gasped. When they looked back at the gilded armchair, they saw someone was already sitting in it. After seeing clearly, both of them gasped in shock. “Aria?!” The next second, Mr. Harrison Sr. and the twelve other most powerful moguls in the room approached me, bowing in unison with faces full of reverence. “Boss!”
