The maid Chapter 1 The Arrival

The grand manor stood at the end of a winding driveway, its tall, imposing structure looming over the well-manicured gardens like a sentinel of times long past. Victoria, a young woman in her mid-twenties, stepped out of the taxi, her breath visible in the crisp autumn air as she took in the sight. Sinclair Manor was more than she had expected-its stone facade, dotted with ivy, exuded a sense of history, a grandeur that felt both alluring and intimidating. She felt a nervous thrill flutter in her stomach. This was her new place of employment, her new life.

Victoria adjusted the collar of her coat, trying to shake off the nerves as she approached the massive wooden doors. She could hear the echo of her footsteps on the gravel, a rhythmic reminder of how alone she was here. The house had a presence, a kind of weight that made her feel like she had already stepped into a different world-one where she didn't quite belong. But she had no choice. A job was a job, and Sinclair Manor had a reputation for paying well.

Before she could knock, the heavy doors swung open, revealing Mr. Sinclair himself. He was a striking man, easily in his late thirties, with sharp features and a carefully cultivated appearance that spoke of old money. His dark hair was immaculately combed back, and his tailored suit clung to a physique that exuded both power and grace. His eyes, a piercing shade of blue, scanned Victoria with a quiet intensity that made her shiver despite herself.

"Miss Victoria, I presume?" His voice was smooth, deep, and carried the kind of confidence that came from a lifetime of getting exactly what one wanted. "Welcome to Sinclair Manor."

Victoria felt her breath catch in her throat. "Yes, Mr. Sinclair," she said, her voice quieter than she intended. "It's an honor to be here."

His eyes lingered on her for a beat longer, and she couldn't quite read his expression. Amusement? Curiosity? Desire? Whatever it was, it was enough to make her skin tingle. He stepped aside, gesturing for her to enter, and Victoria took her first step into what felt like another world.

The foyer was breathtaking-marble floors gleamed underfoot, a grand chandelier hung above, casting a soft, golden light over the room. Every inch of the place screamed wealth, from the intricate carvings in the walls to the antique mirrors that reflected every flicker of light. Victoria felt small, insignificant in comparison.

Mr. Sinclair moved with the same effortless grace as he led her deeper into the manor. "I'll have Mrs. Harlow show you to your quarters and explain your duties," he said, his tone businesslike but still carrying that underlying current of something more. "But before that, there's one thing you need to understand."

Victoria stopped, her heart quickening at his sudden seriousness. "Of course, sir."

His gaze settled on her, steady and unflinching. "This house has rules, Victoria. You'll be expected to follow them-strictly." His voice lowered slightly, and the air between them seemed to hum with an unspoken promise. "Do you understand?"

Victoria swallowed hard, feeling an unexpected pull toward him. "Yes, sir."

His lips curved into a small, almost predatory smile. "Good."

Before she could respond, another figure appeared. Mrs. Harlow, the housekeeper, was the very picture of efficiency and professionalism. Tall and stern, her graying hair pulled into a tight bun, she greeted Victoria with a curt nod. There was no warmth in her eyes, only a brisk, no-nonsense attitude that made it clear she didn't tolerate mistakes.

"This way, Miss Victoria," Mrs. Harlow said, her voice sharp. "We have a lot to cover."

As Victoria followed the housekeeper up the grand staircase, she could feel Mr. Sinclair's eyes on her, lingering longer than they should. Her pulse raced, and she couldn't help but wonder if she had just stepped into something far more complicated than she had anticipated.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
