I woke up feeling so scared. My brain was foggy, so I couldn't even remember what happened.I tried to stand up but I couldn't. My arms were tied to something . My legs too. I realize that I will strap to a bed and there was no way that I could escape.I screamed for help but no one answered. 'who could do this to me?' I thought. Could it be my ex-husband?No.He hasn't found out who I really was.At least, not yet.I screamed for help but it felt like it was coming back to me like an echo.There was no way out and I was all on my own.I was in a sound proof room.There was a click on the door knob and a figure stepped inside. The figure was breathing heavily all over my face. It's cold wet hands caressed my face like a priceless jewel. Even though the cloak it wore covered it's face, I could still see the sinister smile on its face. A mission accomplished. I scoffed.I immediately assumed that it was Jonathan. I can't believe that he could be so crazy to stoop so low to even try to

As Susie tucked James into bed, she couldn't shake off the feeling of uncertainty that had been building up inside her. She had been playing the role of the nanny for weeks now, and it was taking a toll on her. But she knew she had to keep up the act if she wanted to stay close to her son.As she closed the door to James's room, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. She had made it through another day without arousing suspicion. But little did she know, her life was about to take a dramatic turn. She walked downstairs, she noticed her phone buzzing on the kitchen counter. She picked it up, and her heart skipped a beat as she saw another message from an unknown number."Meet me tonight at the old oak tree in the park at 10 pm. Come alone," the message read.Susie's mind racing, she tried to process who could have sent the message and what they wanted. Alex. He must have found out. But she was in a different body.She looked around the kitchen, feeling a sense of unease. Was this a p

Susie settled into her new role as James's nanny, her days filled with school runs, homework, and playtime. She took James to school every morning, watching as he grew more confident with each passing day. She'd wave goodbye as he disappeared into his classroom, her heart swelling with love and determination. There were times when she almost broke out of her role. One time.As she drove back home, her before driver, Alfred dropped her.Susie couldn't help but think about the life she left behind. She had been a wife, a mother, and a partner in her own right. Now, she was a nanny, a role she had taken on to get close to her son. It was a sacrifice, but one she was living with the consequences of her ex-husband's infidelity and her own desperation to be with her child.After dropping James off, Susie would return home to tackle the household chores. Natasha couldn't clean, but was particular about cleanliness, and Susie made sure to meet her expectations. As she vacuumed and dusted, she'

The late afternoon sun slanted through the windows of the white-columned Georgian house, casting golden light across the polished hardwood floor. Susie squinted her eyes; the house had changed since she'd last been inside - new curtains, new rugs, a vase of roses she knew he would never have chosen by himself. She turned to her left and saw a picture of a woman in a red dress smiling so confidently; apparently that would be the woman he used to cheat on her, but Susie wasn't here to admire décor or to drag husband with anyone.She was here for her son.Dressed in a neat pink skirt, a prim white blouse buttoned to her throat, and wire-rimmed glasses that dulled the fire in her blue eyes, Susie looked every inch the proper English nanny. Her usually free, dark curls were pinned into a tight bun. No trace of the woman who once lived in this house remained in her reflection - except in her eyes, which never stopped searching, calculating.She had rehearsed this role a hundred times. Her na

Susie floated in a space where time meant nothing.No watches, no pain, no sorrow. She felt like something left her. A heavy burden. She saw flashes of what happened before; the sound of shattered glass, siren, a child's cry all long gone. All the memories of her life played out one by one like a movie scene until...it let go. Loud thunder claps followed by lightning shook Susie from her long sleep. She looked around and tried to remember where she was.She looked and saw some syringes on a table beside her. That explains it. She was at a hospital. She heard some footsteps and lay back down, pretending to be asleep."Good morning ma'am." The voice sounded warm and friendly. Slowly, she opened her eyes showing a sign of someone that just woke up." How are you feeling now?" The kind man said. He wore a red shirt with black pants and black shoes. Ge wore a white cloak with a tag hung in it that said,'Dr.Bruce', apparently he is the doctor."I feel fine doctor." Susie tried to sit up but

Susie checked the time on her platinum wristwatch. He is late. Again. The kettle chimed, she wore her kitchen gloves, and removed the kettle and started pouring the water in it into little childish plastic cups with Spiderman logo on it. She added chocolate by the side and some sweets to compliment everything. Perfect. She decided to relax on the stool in her large kitchen furnished with exotic drinks, kid toys on one side of the kitchen, expensive plates and cups arranged neatly in cabinets. The walls were painted white with the tiles and table white also. The style of the kitchen showed how impeccable Susie's taste of fashion was. Her phone beeped and she checked the message,My sweet husband: "I have an urgent work to do, I'll be late again. Wish James a happy birthday for me."She sighed. A young boy rushed in, holding a toy dinosaur in his hand. His face was covered with chocolate, his birthday suit turning from white to brown," Mommy come and play with us." Susie smiled and kis
