The housemaid's secret

2023
It?s hard to find an employer who doesn?t ask too many questions about my past. So I thank my lucky stars that the Garricks miraculously give me a job, cleaning their stunning penthouse with views across the city and preparing fancy meals in their shiny kitchen. I can work here for a while, stay quiet until I get what I want. It?s almost perfect. But I still haven?t met Mrs. Garrick, or seen inside the guest bedroom. I?m sure I hear her crying. I notice spots of blood around the neck of her white nightgowns when I?m doing laundry. And one day I can?t help but knock on the door. When it gently swings open, what I see inside changes everything. That?s when I make a promise. After all, I?ve done this before. I can protect Mrs. Garrick while keeping my own secrets locked up safe. Douglas Garrick has done wrong. He is going to pay.

The housemaid

Every day I clean the Winchesters? beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew?s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it?s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina?s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband. I only try on one of Nina?s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it?s like. But she soon finds out, and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it?s far too late. But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don?t know who I really am. They don?t know what I?m capable of.
