CHAPTER 001: An Act of Kindness

[RAELYNN'S POINT OF VIEW]I remember when it all happened—when my life changed so dramatically that it knocked me off my feet, and in a flash, I gained and then I lost everything. This is how an innocent act of kindness turns into a game of power, betrayal, and manipulation.It’s 4 p.m. in New York City, and the East Side of Harlem moves in current. Cars are honking and people bustling, and I blend in perfectly with the crowd on the sidewalk, with my delivery bag filled with orders of takeout hanging over my shoulder and my face hat over my head blocking the view of the setting sun. I walk with a destination in mind.New York City is known as the City of Dreams; this city is like a breath of air that is suffocating and refreshing at the same time and growing up on the street of Harlem as an orphan is like living in a combination of both. This city becomes unscrupulous when you realize you have no one to rely on but despite the struggle, every day is faced with a smile.My smile is my

CHAPTER 002: He's Crazy

[RAELYNN'S POINT OF VIEW]Daphne does a fantastic job in patching him up. He's stripped of his clothes, with only but his underwear covering his lower half and his upper body is wrapped securely with a bandage. He lies on my bed with his chest rising up and down undisturbing.Daphne and I stand at the edge of the bed with our arms across our chests. We watch his unconscious form silently.“What do you think is going to happen when he wakes up?” Daphne thinks out loud. I shrug. “I don't know. He doesn't have a criminal face." He looks too handsome to be a criminal.His jawline is chiseled. His brows are thick. His nose is straight. His lips are full. His hair is a shade of black. His body is muscular with toned arms, chest and shit, his abs. He looks like a man who just ambled out of the front magazine. I immediately tear my gaze away. Daphne cast me a look. “And what do you know about criminal faces? This guy has no wallet or a cell or an address on him; that’s more reason to believ

CHAPTER 003: The Smarter One

[DAPHNE’S POINT OF VIEW]“Reign Montgomery.” I read the name on the black card before looking at the man on Rae's bed. “I never thought I would one day encounter a member of the Montgomery family in this lifetime. There's no way you are crazy, as Rae claimed.” I smirk.Rae had been foolish to have not checked his pockets for a wallet before dragging him all the way home; all she cared about was saving him but not me. I almost didn't give a shit if he died or lived till I shoved my hand into his pocket and came across a treasure. I seize opportunities when they land right at my doorstep in a tight grip.He tsks and relaxes his back against the wall. The blankets continue to cover his nakedness. He shuts his eyes as he speaks calmly. “I should have known there is the smart friend,”“Oh, Rae is more of the smart one between us but she can be dumb at times, like picking up a dying stranger in an alley who doesn't turn out to be a criminal but Reign Montgomery, CEO of AxB Capital. This is

CHAPTER 004: A Cage of Hungry Tigers

[REIGN'S POINT OF VIEW]Death becomes something you no longer fear when you have countered it several times; it becomes nothing new and even expect it every minute of the day when you are the type of man that I am. A man that has so many enemies more than allies.As soon as the call ends, I flip the phone on the nearest table just as the door opens and the kinder friend enters with a paper bag. She looks hesitant as she approaches the bed. My behavior earlier must have planted a seed of doubt.Compared to Daphne, this one is pretty. Heart-shaped face with a smooth and creamy complexion. Amber eyes shone with brightness as if the world hadn't done any damage. Her hair is black and straight, and it falls down her back and her build is slender. Unfortunately, I have felt it.“You should eat.” She places the paper bag on the table. Despite the look of uncertainty in her eyes, there is a smile on her face that slowly morphs into a frown as her gaze lands on the phone. “This is Daphne’s p

CHAPTER 005: Anger and Revenge

[DAPHNE'S POINT OF VIEW]"I'm sorry, miss, but you can't cash this check. You should leave before I call security.”The words resound in my head. They are taunting and heckling; they prickle through my skin as I burst through the doors of the acrid apartment and bangs the door behind me, hoping it falls off its hinges. I amble into the living room and almost rip my hair off my skull as I throw the bland check on the table. I stare at it with animosity. That bastard! I should have known that he couldn't be trusted. How could I be so naive to think I could trust any word that plummets the mouths of any members of that cursed family? They are all the same. Lying, manipulative fucks!I can still remember the distrusting look the bitch at the bank gave me before she spat the heckling words at my face like I was some thief. She thinks I can't have that much money, legally! Huh! “I am going to make you pay for this humiliation, bastard!” I bark at the piece of paper, hoping it can feel my

CHAPTER 006: Shaken Friendship

[RAELYNN'S POINT OF VIEW]“You are fired.”Those are the words that greeted me when I entered my boss's office, Mr. Dante. I pause abruptly at the door, like a deer caught in the spotlight. “What?” I choke out. Maybe I misheard him? He can't fire me.He tsks and leans back on his twirling seat behind his desk. His brown eyes pin me. “You heard me. You are fired.”“But why? I haven't done anything to get fired.” I look at him with vast eyes.He shrugs. "I don't need a reason to fire you. Your services are no longer needed here. This place is getting crowded; paying you all is difficult. Make sure you are out of here in the next 30 minutes."I stare at him like a fish out of water, gaping with the words hanging in my throat, but I cannot force them out. My shoulder drops, I turn and walk out of his office. Knowing Mr. Dante, no amount of begging is going to make him change his mind. He is that cold-hearted. With a sigh and my shoulders slumping lower, I turn and leave his office.*~*I f

CHAPTER 007: The Montgomery Mansion

[RAELYNN'S POINT OF VIEW]My heart hammers as Daphne and I stand shoulder to shoulder at the gates of the Montgomery mansion, our bags clutched tightly in our hands. We are not alone; there are three other girls hovering near the entrance, all of them looking as overwhelmed as I feel. The mansion stretches above and around us, an endless expanse of stone, archways, and towering columns that display money and wealth.I can’t help but gape as I take it all in—the vast estate, the carved facade, the imposing double doors of polished wood and brass. Each detail is elegant, intimidating, nothing I’ve ever seen. Nothing I've ever stepped into. I've known nothing but poverty all my life.Daphne nudges me gently, her gaze just as captivated by the estate as I am. “Looks like a palace, doesn’t it?” she murmurs, eyes wide.“It does,” I whisper back, glancing around to see the same sense of awe reflected in the eyes of the other girls. We all stand there in stunned silence, barely able to believ

CHAPTER 008: Petal

(RAELYNN'S POINT OF VIEW)It's been a day since we arrived at the mansion, and I must confess it was the most peaceful I've ever slept in, without being woken up by the noisiness of the neighbors, but the peacefulness was soon cut short when Ms. Alice comes knocking on all our doors, and we found ourselves out in a straight line, dressed in our maids' outfits, which is a deep, inky black with a fitted bodice, tailored to flatter but not cling, reaching just below the knees. I like it.Ms Alice looks at us with a calculating gaze that looks almost judging before she finally voices, “Stand straighter.” It was like our bodies moved automatically to the sound of her voice as we straighten our poor posture. So this is what it's like working in the mansion?“I am guessing you all slept well last night,” she begins as she holds her hands behind her. “Yesterday I wasn’t able to inform you of the rules of the mansion. There are ten rules you must follow while working in this mansion: No Speakin

CHAPTER 009: Deja Vu

(DAPHNE'S POINT OF VIEW)It's been five days since Rae and I started working in the Montgomery mansion, and I have kept a low profile. My target for the past two days has proven to be a difficult fish to catch, but it isn't like I have seen any of the family members yet. It's like the mansion has been deserted, but I know they still live here.I have kept my eyes and ears open for the whereabouts of Reign Montgomery, but I have been told he rarely visits the mansion, and the day at the garden had been a stroke of luck, but not today. Turns out, my big fish decides to come out to the surface, and hell will I pass up such an opportunity.I stand in front of Reign's bedroom with the bland check in my hand, and without a second thought, I knock on the door, and it opens a few seconds later to reveal the familiar face of his assistant, who quickly scans his eyes over me before meeting my eyes.I shove the check at his face. He takes it from me. "I believe I am allowed to see Mr. Montgomery

CHAPTER 010: The Montgomery Family

(RAELYNN'S POINT OF VIEW)On the fifth day of working at the mansion, I finally witnessed the Montgomery family together for the first time. The dinner table is filled with bickering; everyone is lashing out at each other. Twenty chairs are almost all filled, and silverware clinks sharply against plates. Their voices overlap in bursts of laughter, yet they hold no warmth. It's like being in a fortress of egos competing for attention.From where I stand with the other maids, I watch silently in shock, ready to step in at the drop of a fork. Across the table, Mrs Lila, the eldest daughter, who looks over 50, leans forward, her eyes pinned on her sister, Pam, and her husband. Her eyes are judging."Of course, some of us don’t have to worry about real work," she sneers. "Was it just one smart investment or was it a stroke of pure luck?"Pam's mouth twitches, but she smiles, too sharp to be friendly. "Oh, dear, real work doesn’t suit everyone," she replies with a chuckle. "I prefer smart w
