Chapter 1

Really? I asked myself as I entered the building. Nothing has changed since I left four years ago. I made my way to the maid's quarters for my interview, but then the chef saw me.“Hey, you're here for the job, I guess”.“Yes sir,” I said slowly.“You have to remain at the reception, the interviewer will meet you there. Now go! He said authoritatively and turned without looking at me for a second time.“Amazing,” I muttered slowly. “This was the same Chef I had control of, you can imagine how he had begun ordering me about like a kid. There's no problem.” I had barely settled down when Mrs Dorathy walked in.“How are you, Nina?” She asked me.“I'm fine, ma’am” I responded without looking at her face directly. I handed the documents she requested and awaited her response. While she did this, I observed her.“Welcome to your new home, Nina. You'll serve in the mansion, you'll assist the other maid's there. Now, follow me”My emotions threatened to betray me at this point. But I compose

Chapter 2

“Do I?” I asked hoping that he could say more.“Yes, it's my wife. But she's gone now. She left without a word, I've waited for her to return but it's been four years, she hasn't returned. I guess she's moved on…” I could feel the pain in him at that moment. I wanted to say something but he just cut me short. “Inform Mrs Dorathy that the event plans should begin,”“Okay, Sir” I responded but I continued standing there as if I wanted him to say something else. I miss my husband, I thought of collapsing, so that he could hold me closely, and that I could feel the warmth of his touch.“Hey maid, would you get out already?” He said but I was so deep in my thoughts that I couldn't hear him. He moved closer and tapped me on my shoulders.“Get out!” He ordered. “How do you attend to your duties in this manner?” Those words were hurtful but I had to leave with tears in my eyes. If only he knew I was his woman. I informed Mrs Dorathy of his message and then I moved on with my duties. The tur

Chapter 3

“I deserve to be happy, but this is just too unbearable.” I muttered as I walked to the servants' quarters. I didn't care what Henry would say for leaving without his permission. “He should get lost for all I care” I said again before entering my corner at the quarters. I sat on my bed and I allowed my emotions to finally spill over. Maria walked in to see me there, with tears streaming down my face."Nina," she called softly. She sat beside me and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "I knew this would happen. I'm so sorry you're going through this.""You don't have to be sorry. I thought I could handle it," I whispered, but my voice was choked with sobs. "But seeing him with her... it's too much."Maria drew me close, and comforted me as I cried. My secrets and the burden of my past felt heavier than ever. I knew I couldn't go on like this, I couldn't continue to be torn between love and duty, neither between my past and present. But do those decisions of mine truly matter?Well, l

Chapter 4

Charles' eyes widened in shock, and he leaned back in his chair, I guess he was trying to look at Nina in front of him. "Nina, this is... I don't even know where to start. What happened to you? When did you arrive in town? Why didn't you tell Henry you're back?” His questions made my sight blurTears welled up in my eyes as I told him about the events that had led to my departure and my subsequent return under a false identity. When I finished, Charles sat in silence, with his eyes filled with compassion. "I can't believe it," he said finally. "Nina, Why didn't you come to me earlier?""I was afraid," I admitted, my voice choking with tears. "Afraid of what Henry would think, of how he would react. But now, I have to protect him and my kids. Olivia is planning something, and I can't stand by and do nothing."Charles nodded, "I can see that you still love him, but that's by the side. What do you need from me, Nina?""I need your advice and help. I can't handle this alone," I replied.

Chapter 5

As much as I knew Charles wanted us to reconcile, I couldn't let that happen now. It was too soon. I had to act quickly to prevent my identity from being revealed. I walked out of the kitchen with a tray of juice, and let the tray fall. The sound of broken glasses made them turn to face me.Perfect distraction for my lady, she turned. “You've always been incompetent. Besides, who asked you to intrude? I wonder what Henry is still doing with you in this house.”"Why not answer to your misdeeds instead of focusing on my fault!" I exclaimed, as I bent to clean up the mess.Everyone turned to look at me in surprise, I guess they were startled by my sudden outburst. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my nerves. This gave me the opportunity to give Charles a signal not to do it yet.“Henry “, I understand this is a lot to take in, but we need to look at the facts. Olivia, if you truly care about Henry, you should explain yourself."Olivia's eyes flashed with anger, but she composed hers

Chapter 6

The next day, as I got prepared for the day's duties, I overheard my name on everyone's lips. “She must really like our boss,” someone said. “Not just that, she has some kind of rare boldness, who would dare to face madame Olivia, well I'm just glad that she's gone for good.”I smiled unconsciously when I heard those words. Olivia has been a terror to all the maids, she treated us with so much hatred, but now we’re free. Although I felt for my husband, I'm glad she's left him.As I stepped out of my room, my eyes met with Maria, “The ever bold lady” she teased me, but I gave her a signal to bring down her voice. I dragged her Into my room with care. “Listen, Maria. Nobody must know who I am. It's not yet time to reveal my Identity.”I told her.“Reveal what identity?” Maria asked me. Nina, most times I just feel you're wasting time. Walk up to him and speak up or do you want me to tell him, myself? I'd be glad to do that for free.”“No, my dear. Do not tell him. I’ll tell him myself. F

Chapter 7

Sophie and his brother walked into the staff quarters. I guess they were looking for Mrs Dorathy. Hand in hand they walked into her room. I took this opportunity to see my kids and hear their voices more closely.“Mrs Dorathy!” Sophie screamed as she ran Into the open arms of Mrs Dorathy. “You aren't getting younger but you still look young.” Sophie teased her as she planted a soft kiss on her cheek.“I can't believe you are here again for the short holiday, '' Mrs Dorathy responded as she observed both kids. James was totally off from whatsoever they were doing. “Hey James. How’re you doing?” Mrs Dorathy asked but my daughter immediately responded. “That's how he behaves, he has never changed. He is still a mummy's boy and there's no mummy. I've told him to be a daddy's boy but…”Mrs Dorathy immediately cut in. “That's enough, James didn't say anything and it's not right if you respond on his behalf.” “But I still miss my mummy,” James said but not in a sad mood.“Ugh… Mummy would d

Chapter 8

I walked into my room that night with excitement of being with my kids without any interference. The next day I woke up with quiet joy. I made sure that I did all I was assigned to before evening. I spent the evenings tutoring Sophie and James, helping them with some holiday work and sharing stories from my own childhood.The bond between us grew stronger, and I felt a glimmer of hope that one day, I could reveal the truth to them. This exciting time went on for days. One evening as we were about finishing up a lesson, Sophie looked at me with a thoughtful expression. "Aunt Nina, you remind me of someone I long to see. She’s someone from a long time ago, yeah, a long time ago."“A long time ago?” I asked her again. I Was already aware of what she was about to say.“Yes, a long time. It's four years now and I haven't seen her. I really miss her.” She said as her face dropped.My heart skipped a beat. "Oh? Who do I remind you of, my dear, Sophie?"She raised her head, her eyes searching

I bowed my head in confusion, not knowing exactly how to answer for what I have just done. I stood up at once to greet him. “Good evening, Mr Windsor”He stepped in and shut the door behind him. “Good evening, Nina.” He said but I had a lot on my mind at the moment that I didn't hear him“Nina?” he whispered, his voice barely audible. “What are you doing here by this time?”I quickly closed the book and took a step backwards, my mind searching for a perfect excuse that would fit the moment, but guess what? My mind was blank so I decided to answer with any word that would come out from my mouth. “I…was passing…but the door was slightly ajar.. I thought they might like a bedtime story, that's why I walked in.” I stammered. “It’s something my mother did for us when we were younger, so I thought I should do the same for them”Henry’s eyes softened, and he nodded slowly. At this point, I heaved a sigh of relief “I see.” He added. “They seem to enjoy it.”I forced a smile but my heart was p

“I just lost the opportunity of revealing my identity. He was ready to listen to whatever I had to say at that point. What was I thinking” I asked as I lay on my bed. Just then Maria walked in with a smile on her face.“Hey darling,” she called me. “Hi” I responded as I rose up. “Why does your face look as if the world is upon you.” She asked me, getting closer to look into my eyes if there were tears.“I had the chance to tell Henry who I was but I didn't Know what came over me.” I responded with a shaky voice.“You don't have to feel bad about it, besides, you can do it tomorrow, If you want. Don't forget that I'll always be here in every step you take.” I leaned forward to hug Maria. “You're just the best. Thank you for being my source of strength, Maria. I love you so much.”With that assurance, I had peace of mind for the first time since my kids Left. The following morning, I woke up with the excitement of reconciliation. I wore my best threaded servant's clothes. “Today is
