Juliana's youngest brother, Robert Green was born with a kidney problem which later got worse, leaving transplantation as the only option.

Since they did not have the money for a kidney transplant, he had to undergo dialysis three days a week until they could arrange the money.

After losing both their parents, Juliana was left alone to take care of her brother. She had to take care of all their expenses including the huge hospital bill every month.

In order to meet the requirements, she had taken up multiple jobs but at the end of the day, it wasn't enough.

This forced her to borrow money and get involved in things she didn't want to.

Juliana sat next to her brother and held his hand. He was her only family left and she didn't wanna lose him. This is why she had been shamelessly continuing to do everything she was involved in.

After sometime, Owen arrived with the medication and handed it over to the nurse incharge.

He then sat next to Juliana. "They will shift your brother upstairs in a cabin in a few minutes. He is officially on the waiting list for the transplant. He doesn't have to wait for long."

When she looked at him, he added, "Don't worry about the expenses, I'll cover them."

"Why? Why would you do that?" She didn't understand why he was helping her.

"Don't get too ahead of yourself, I am doing this for free," he scoffed. "In return, you have to work for me."

"You wanna make me your mistress or something?" She mockingly smirked.

Keeping quiet for a while, Owen remarked, "That shouldn't be a problem, should it? You were all ready to strip in public so being a mistress for a rich young man is easier, don't you think?"

"When are we leaving tomorrow?" Elsa inquired.

"Early morning, I guess—" Emma looked at Rachael who was lost in her own world.

All of them had plans of spending the weekend in Andrew's beach house.

"Rach?" Elsa tapped her shoulder.

"Huh?"

"What happened? Is everything okay?" Emma inquired.

"No, everything is alright." Rachael awkwardly cleared her throat. "What were you both saying?"

"Forget that, tell us what is bothering you first." When she hesitated, Elsa sighed, "Come on Rach, you can tell us."

"Exactly, we will help you figure out whatever it is," Emma added.

Contemplating for a while, Rachael finally gave in. "Alright, it's nothing serious and I am pretty sure it's just me overthinking."

"Andrew has been acting a little weird for the past couple of weeks."

"Weird in a sense? Is he ignoring you or something?" Emma inquired.

"No he is not," she shook her head.

"Then what is wrong?"

"I think he is avoiding me physically." Rachael helplessly shook her head and sighed, "I told you it's probably just me overthinking."

"Well, it's a little weird given that Andrew is my brother but—can you elaborate a little?" Elsa questioned her.

"Hmm, how do I start?" Thinking for a while, Rachael explained, "So we did it in his office a couple of weeks ago. And after that he hasn't..you know, tried to touch me again. I mean, he does touch me but not in that way. I mean—"

"Yeah we got it." Emma thought for a while and asked, "Did he get injured or something last time you both were doing it?"

When Rachael and Elsa frowned, she quickly explained, "I mean, what if he got injured and the doctor asked him to refrain from any kind of activity until it's fully recovered."

Rachael: " "

"That is possible," Elsa shrugged.

"I don't think so," Rachael pursed her lips.

"Did you talk to him about this?" When she shook her head, Emma remarked, "Then do it, what are you waiting for?"

"I should, right?" When both of them nodded, Rachael sighed, "I'll talk to him tonight."

[Outside City Hospital]

"What do you want me to do?" Juliana questioned him again as soon as he stepped out of the hospital.

As Owen had said, her brother was shifted to the top floor in a cabin. He had a nurse by his side who would take care of him all the time. This was one less thing Juliana had to do.

"I thought you wanted to be my mistress," Owen smirked.

"I know you don't want that," she remarked. "Why would anyone want someone like me to be their mistress?" She chuckled.

Owen raised his brows. "Don't look down on yourself. You managed to sleep with me and rob me at the same time. This means, you are one hot chick."

When the images of the night they had spent together flashed in her head, Juliana's cheeks turned red.

Owen smirked and leaned against his car. "I don't usually fall for tricks, especially the cheap tricks women try to use on me. But the fact that I slipped for yours makes me wonder if you are really that good or was I too drunk."

Without waiting for her reply, he added, "When I asked you to work for me, I didn't mean that you have to sleep with me. I don't sleep with any women twice, let alone with the ones who rob me."

"From today onwards, I want you to follow me around, do all the odd chores like carrying my coat, bringing water for me, filling my empty glass, clean my house, make my bed, do my laundry, make food for me and—"

"You want me to be your housekeeper?" Juliana frowned.

"Well—" He shrugged. "If that's what you wanna call yourself then I don't have a problem."

[Evening]

[Collins Mansion]

Rachael stood by the bedroom door and contemplated for a while before stepping in.

"Rach, I have packed everything. Just check it once to see if I missed something important." Andrew said as soon as he saw her.

"Andrew, we need to talk." He stopped what he was doing and looked at her. "I have to discuss something with you."
