Chapter 1 : Part 01

* INGRID'S POV

After a whole day of having my photo taken for my photo campaign, I feel the need to go home to take a good bath.

As I'm going through the gate of the house a man appears from my car and I nearly run him over which makes me mad with rage

''Hey you ! Have you ever been taught to look ahead when you cross the road?

''Sorry miss! I didn't hear you since I had my earphones in my ears.

''I don't care about your explanations. Who are you first?

''My name is Elias I am the new gardener of the house and I assume that you are Constance's daughter?

''Exactly ! Well I don't have time to waste with you and the next one be careful or else it's the street.

Who does he think he is crossing in front of my car without looking?

I wait until I get home to tell my mother that her inept gardener isn't doing her job well and she should watch him.

* POV OF ELIAS

I see that Constance's daughter isn't as nice as her and I don't think I would speak to her because she seems to me like a spoiled young girl.

On the other hand, despite the fact that she was unpleasant, I could see that she is extremely beautiful and that cannot be denied.

I finish the work I had started in the garden then I'm going to take a little shower at the back of the house as Madame Bayard indicated.

* CONSTANT POV

I'm on the phone with my friend Gabriela and we're working out the last little details together so that her son and Ingrid meet and get together because they both come from the same social circle and that's perfect for us.

Some will say that I shouldn't be in such a hurry to marry my 22-year-old daughter to a young man, but to have descendants quickly, I have to push her to get married soon because she shouldn't fall in love with a any idiot.

I hear footsteps in the living room and I guess it's my daughter

''Hello Mom ! You hired that gardener?

“Hello my darling and yes I hired him this morning, is there a problem with him?

''Yes to tell the truth because I almost crushed it with my car at the moment because sir with headphones to work.

''It's okay sweetie. I'll talk to him later how was the photo shoot?

“Very good mum. But I'll tell you about it later because I need a good shower

''Ok I ask Lupita to prepare a good lunch.

''Yes thanks !

Ingrid is a bit capricious so I don't pay attention to what she told me about Elias because I have things to do.

* INGRID'S POV

I'm finally in my room and I'm starting to undress to go to the bathroom when I see this damn gardener rinsing with tap water and I must admit he has the body of Apollo and I don't I can't help staring at him so much that I bang my head against the window and I think he heard it so I lay down on the floor so he wouldn't see me.

It's very embarrassing and I really hope he didn't see anything.

* POV OF ELIAS

I'm taking my shower when I hear something knocking on the top window and when I look I can't see anything but I notice that the curtain has moved as if there was a person behind it.

I finish rinsing off and I get dressed, putting everything away in my van which is parked not far away.

Suddenly one of the employees of the house comes towards me to give me a glass of fresh juice

“I thought you might have been thirsty so I brought you this glass of juice.

“Thank you, that's very kind of you. My name is Elias and I am the new gardener and you?

''My name is Florencia and I am one of the housekeepers on the property. Can I tell you something?

''Enchanted Florencia. Yes tell me !

''Okay, I'm going. I think you are very handsome and you have a wonderful body and your abs do not even mention it.

'' Oh thank you for all his compliments my beautiful good sorry I have to go see you soon.

''Yes, see you soon.

This situation was very embarrassing and very funny at the same time because it is the first time that I have been accosted in this way and I see that Florencia could not have had cold feet.

Tonight I could go and let off steam in a club since it's Friday and I hope I'll

to be able to find an interesting young woman.

* POV OF FLORENCIA

I feel everything in front of Elias and he managed to send shivers down my spine.

He's so handsome and muscular like a Greek god that I have some rather un-Catholic ideas about him, but I'd better get back to work before Madame Constance or her daughter yells at me.

* INGRID'S POV

I really am an idiot and I hope that gardener didn't see that I was watching him take a shower because that would be very embarrassing.

I don't know why watching him take that shower disturbed me so much because he's not my style of man and what's more, he's only a gardener, what a horror.

I finally finished taking my shower and then I joined the living room to have lunch with my mother when I heard Florencia one of our employees talking about the gardener and apparently his name was Elias, a vulgar first name.

* CONSTANT POV

We are finally at the table and I launch the subject of her meeting with Gabriela's son but Ingrid does not seem to be enthusiastic about it and I explain to her that I need to leave my fortune for an heir and that it that's why I'm trying to find her a husband as soon as possible

"Mom I'll be honest with you, I'm not ready to get married because I'm still young and my modeling career is just starting to take off so I wouldn't want to stop it all.

''And yet you will have to be, because Gabriela and her son will come to eat with us tomorrow.

'' No I don't agree sorry, you took my appetite see you later

''Come back here insolent child!

I see that Ingrid is not ready to listen to me but I will have to take care of it personally and whether she likes it or not, she will have to go with him.

LATER IN THE NIGHT

* POV OF ELIAS

My friend Franco offers me to go to the masked ball evening tonight and since I have nothing to do I agree to go with him maybe tonight I'll find a woman I like.

After having made myself beautiful, have left for this famous evening and indeed there are a lot of young women and it will be very interesting.

I notice a young woman with a golden mask and I will try to talk to her.

Who will Elias talk to?
