Heaven and Alex's story was a tale of love tested by the constraints of tradition, familial expectations, and the inexorable passage of time. It began in the grandeur of Sterling Manor, where Heaven, a beautiful maid, took up a position, unaware that her life was about to intertwine with the destiny of the Sterling family.

From the moment Heaven set foot in the mansion, her path crossed with Alexander, the master of Sterling Manor. The library, a symbolic space within the mansion's opulent halls, became a backdrop to their unfolding connection. As Heaven navigated the intricacies of her role as a maid, she and Alex discovered a shared refuge in the library—a sanctuary where their hearts found solace amidst the pages of untold stories.

However, their burgeoning connection faced formidable challenges. The societal norms and familial expectations that surrounded Sterling Manor sought to dictate the trajectory of Alex's life, including his choice of a future wife. Despite the obstacles, Heaven and Alex's bond deepened, transcending the boundaries of employer and employee.

The story took an unexpected turn when Alex's arranged fiancée entered the mansion, bringing with her the weight of familial expectations. The other maids, fueled by jealousy, began treating Heaven unfairly due to her proximity to Alex. This created a tumultuous environment, placing strain on Heaven and Alex's budding connection.

Complications arose further when Alex, drawn into familial duties, seemed to drift away from Heaven. The library, once a haven for their shared confidences, became a silent witness to the growing distance between them. The turning point came when Alex's older brother entered the scene, sparking a new, albeit complicated, connection with Heaven.

As Heaven and Alex's friendship with his brother evolved, so did Heaven's determination to pursue her dreams beyond the confines of Sterling Manor. She decided to leave the mansion, saving money to finish her education, and Alex's brother offered his support in her endeavors.

The narrative took a poignant turn when Heaven, realizing her aspirations, expressed her decision to leave the mansion and end her role as a maid. Alex, entangled in familial obligations and unaware of Heaven's departure, faced the haunting realization that she had left without a goodbye.

The subsequent chapters unfolded with Alex grappling with the echoes of Heaven's absence. The mansion, every corner imbued with memories of their shared moments, became a haunting reminder of the love he had lost. Meanwhile, Heaven embarked on a new chapter at university, forging a path independent of the mansion's shadows.

The story took a heartbreaking twist as Alex's life post-Heaven revolved around a loveless engagement and a family pushing him towards a wedding. His fiancée, feeling the impact of his emotional withdrawal, developed resentment towards Heaven.

As preparations for Alex's wedding intensified, Heaven discovered the impending ceremony too late to intervene. She tried to return to Sterling Manor, seeking to reclaim what was lost, only to find that time had sealed Alex's fate with another.

The chapters that followed chronicled Alex's wedding, a poignant affair filled with the echoes of unfulfilled promises. Heaven, witnessing the union from a distance, felt the shattering of her heart as she realized the permanence of their separation.

As Alex's marriage unfolded, the story delved into the complexities of his life with a wife who felt unloved. The weight of familial expectations bore down on Alex, and the marriage lacked the love he had once shared with Heaven. His family, dissatisfied with the union, pressured him to consider marrying another woman to secure the family's legacy.

In a pivotal chapter, Alex, for the first time in his life, stood up against his family's expectations, choosing to honor his own heart. The library, once a symbol of constraint, became a backdrop to his assertion of personal autonomy.
