Chapter 001: Fired

AdaI've spent years preparing for this moment, but standing in the grand foyer of the family who destroyed mine, I wonder if I'm truly ready to play the role of the dutiful maid."This way, Miss Johnson," the housekeeper, Mrs. Danes, says to me as we continue through the house. Well, it's more of a palace, but whatever."Your work will be done on this lower part of the house," she informs me as she looks over her shoulder at me through her thin, round glasses. "You'll need a valid reason if you're found upstairs. You're expected to follow your schedule strictly, as any deviation will lead to you being asked to leave. Do you understand?""Yes, Mrs. Danes," I reply shyly, but even that is an act. I'm going to have to find a way to make it upstairs because I'll have to look into the face of Reynold Loxley, the man who killed my father and brother many years ago, ruining my life forever.She continues showing me around, telling me to do this and that, and explaining how they want things ...

Chapter 002: Second Chances
Ada An elderly woman races past me, screaming that she needs help. Saying she can't swim. I turn my head to look at her, and hear her saying hysterically:"HE'S IN THE POOL! SAMMY'S IN THE POOL! I CAN'T SWIM! SOMEONE, HELP!"The pool isn't that far away from where I'm standing. I approach the edge of it, confused, and that's when I see it. A small figure lying at the very bottom of the pool, arms and legs flailing. I don't think twice. I dive into the pool, shoes and all, and swim to the very bottom to grab the drowning child. I'm still blowing air into the little boy's mouth when a crowd comes running toward me. He coughs, water spurting from his mouth, and I turn him on his side while patting his back. I'm trembling from head to toe, adrenaline surging through me. The older lady who was screaming for help gets on her knees next to me, crying, and shortly afterward, I hear the sound of heels clattering toward us before a blood-curdling scream fills the air. "Sammy!"The woman in

Chapter 003: Guilt
MaximilianI have to admit that I feel like shit for having fired that woman when she's the only reason why I'm breathing properly today.If Sammy had drowned in that pool, I'd rain hell down on all those fucking incompetent people. There wouldn't be a single person left standing to tell the story. I dismissed her like she was nothing, only for her to end up saving my nephew minutes later, a boy who means the world to me. I can't take the image of her soaking wet with water pooling at her feet from my mind. Her gaze was steady, and to make matters worse, she hadn't looked at me with resentment. I only saw exhaustion in them, and that made me feel small. Smaller than I ever have in my entire life. Edmund has his arms around my sister, and he's whispering comforting words to her. She's a mess. Then again, I don't blame her. I had a few meetings today, but I've since had them rescheduled. Sammy almost drowning took a toll on us, and things haven't been easy since my father's cancer dia

Chapter 004: Unsettling
Ada "To start, I'd like to thank you once again for your bravery," Mr. Manney begins dramatically. "You saved my son's life, and for that, I'm indebted to you for life, Miss Johnson. Please, if there's anything I can do for you, let me know right away."After he says this, I don't quite know what to say to him. A visit from them is the last thing I ever thought would happen. I'm glad I didn't give them a fake address when I applied for the job the same way I gave them a fake name, otherwise, I would've been in some trouble now, I think, and would've ended up losing all credibility. It would be easier to focus on Mr. Manney if his brother-in-law weren't looking at me like I'm a piece of shit standing in his way. His eyes are studying me deeply. Whenever I glance at him, I find him staring at me with an expression that's somewhat dehumanizing. He's so arrogant. So conceited. "I'd...if I could get my job back, I'd be much obliged," I tell him as humbly as I can."Why, of course," he c

Chapter 005: The First Spark
MaximilianAs I watch my sister rise from the table and head tired the maid who saved Sammy’s life, I have to admit that I feel anger stirring in my gut. If someone were to ask me, I wouldn’t be able to explain why it is that I feel this way about her. Whenever I catch a glimpse of her face, I get annoyed. It’s not that I’m not grateful that my nephew’s life was spared; it’s something else entirely. Something that runs deeper than logic and simple explanations. Beside me, Edmund snickers, and as I turn my head to stare at him. He’s shaking his head as he watches me over the rim of his coffee cup and says, “Still bothered by the maid? Seriously, Max. What are you, twelve? You’re treating her like she’s your new rival at the school’s playground.”His words worsen my irritation, and I sneer at him. “I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”“Or is it that you’re annoyed that you find her so striking?” he muses. “There’s nothing striking about her,” I retort dryly while pickin

Chapter 006: An Invitation
AdaThat man's on my case, and if I'm not careful, I'll land myself into trouble, the kind that I won't be able to claw myself out of so easily. The truth if that it's hard for me to hide the way I feel about these people. Of course, I'm aware that Reynold Loxley's children have nothing to do with their father's sins, but I can't help but feel resentful toward them all. They live a good life, totally oblivious to the fact that their father is a monster, and I had to live with that for the longest time. Every day, I live in the shadow of the life he created for me unknowingly. Every day, I think about how different my life would've been if my father had just lived. So, I hate them for it. I hate their ignorance and lavish lifestyle built on the blood and bones of innocent people. How many men did their father kill? How many people's lives were affected like mine were?I refuse to believe his crime was a one-time thing. I shake my head to clear my mind, and focus on the task at hand

Chapter 007: Strange Occurrences
AdaBy the time I get home, I'm beyond exhausted, both physically and mentally. It took everything for me to stay calm and not barge into that office to look for potential information. I don't expect it to be easy, but I'm counting on the fact that they won't hide things too well because they don't expect anyone to look?Also, I've been thinking a lot about the things that happened and my interactions with the family and the staff. Mr. Loxley, Reynold's son, is onto me. He eyes em suspiciously, and that's not good. I'll need time if I'm going to make a groundbreaking discovery, and I can't have people suspecting me on the second day. Mr. Manney is being weird, that's for sure. I didn't like the way he looked at me, or how he touched me before he walked away. As for Sheila, well, she's not a threat to me. She's just some psycho with way too many delusions in her head. Though, I'm honestly wondering what gave her the courage to walk up to me and say such a thing. Is she really that s

Chapter 008: See A Shrink, Maybe?
Maximilian"Rebecca," I say to my sister just before she enters the bedroom with Edmund, "could we have a word?"She and Ed exchange a look, and I convince myself that I'm not offended by it. She and I have always been on the same page about many things. A perfect example is when we all agreed to come live with our father here after his diagnosis. I just went into his room to see him, but he was out like a flame. "Sure," Rebecca replies as she makes her way to my side, interrupting my train of thought. "Where would you want to talk?"I gesture at my room. There's a balcony and I think we'd have privacy there. I ignore the way Ed's looking at me, and open the door for her to enter my room. It's immaculate, courtesy of the maids who work hard to keep the place spotless. Then again, I've never been a messy person. I like things around me neat and organized. It helps me feel sane and in control. "What's the matter?" Rebecca asks as soon as I close my bedroom door. "I was hoping to tal

Chapter 009: Trip
AdaI’ve never really had an enemy before, so this whole experience with Sheila is very new to me. Of course, there’s Reynold Loxley, but he’s never been an active enemy, if that makes sense. I’ve never looked the man in the eyes in my life. I’ve hated him from a distance, so it’s different to what I’m experiencing now with this delusional woman who somehow thinks I’m going to steal her opportunity to be Maximilian Loxley’s wife. At least, that’s the impression I have of her. She’s a bit on the crazy side, and although I find it concerning, life has taught me that it’s the people you’re less concerned about that are the problem. I can’t see how she would jeopardize my future here. Plus, what were my options, exactly? Playing along with her? Promising her that I’d do as she says?Nope. Not an option. So, I keep my head low and try not to be too excited about the fact that I’ll be cleaning the office today. I could find some valuable information that could help me uncover the truth.

Chapter 010: Unexpected
Ada “Go on,” Sheila taunts when she sees my clenched fist by my side. “Hit me. See if you won’t fired for misconduct.”“You stupid bitch,” I hiss. “You tripped me.”“This is only a taste of what’s going to happen to you if you insist on challenging me,” she claims. Shamelessly. She’s so damn shameless. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone like her in all my life. “You little—”“What’s going on?” Mrs. Danes asks as she heads toward us. “What happened?”Sheila turns around and tells her, “Naomi fell, Mrs. Danes. The poor thing.”“Are you alright?” Mrs. Danes asks me as she assesses the damage. There’s some food on the floor, but most of it’s on the tray, so that’s that. “Yes,” I answer while I make eye contact with Sheila. “Just fine. I’ll clean this mess right up.”Sheila smiles, and I realize that I have yet another person in this house who might prove to be problematic for me. I have to get rid of her. There’s no predicting what she could do, and I won’t risk my stay here. I’ve don
